I'm italian. I have semi course hair. And it was always really bad in one spot on the back of my head. So dry. I've been using this for maybe 2 months now. And slowly but surely. No more dry spot. I put it in my hair before I brush it after I've showered. It makes it easier to brush my hair out. It smells amazing too. Hasn't helped my split ends. But nothing probably ever will. Oh well. But if you want really soft hair. Give this a try.
