The ingredients are gentle, so if you don't use a lot, it can be a bit rough, and it's not very moisturizing, but... it's for children, and by the next morning it's smooth and not too tangled, so I think it's fine! I bought it for my child (toddler) with waist-length hair. I'd been using the same treatment as for adults, but I thought the ingredients were a bit too strong, so I chose this one, which has good reviews on social media. As I mentioned at the beginning, my eldest daughter's long hair gets rough unless you use a generous amount. It seems like it's enough for my second daughter, who's shoulder-length. This is for daily use. Long hair does get damaged, so it's probably best to use a proper hair pack or treatment about once a week! The scent is gentle.
