Best Detangling Conditioner of 2026

"I've been using this detangler for over 25 years, and now my daughter relies on it too. It makes our hair incredibly soft and tangle-free in the shower, and even with long, extremely thin hair, a single bottle lasts me almost a year. The scent isn’t overpowering, which I really appreciate."

"As someone with curly, thick hair struggling with dryness and frizz, I was skeptical at first, but after just one use, I'm totally hooked. My curls are more defined, my hair feels soft, and the clean scent lasts even after drying. The bottle is generous and a little goes a long way—definitely worth every penny."

"After trying other conditioners, I came back to this one and instantly noticed no other product works as well for long, damaged, tangled hair. It smells amazing and keeps my hair from getting knotty, even after a long day at work. It's a heavier conditioner, so maybe not for those wanting volume, but for me, it’s a lifesaver."

"I've tried countless conditioners for my very long, fine hair that tangles easily, but this one stands out. It's better than almost every option I've found at Sephora, and the price can't be beat. My hair feels so much softer, smoother, and easier to manage, and it rinses out quickly. For anyone on the fence, I highly recommend it!"

"After just a few uses, I noticed less breakage and fewer split ends. This shampoo and conditioner duo smells fantastic and leaves my hair shiny and tangle-free. It's gentle enough for daily use, and I love how healthy my hair looks now."

"The floral fragrance is quite strong—not unpleasant, just very noticeable, so it might not suit those sensitive to scents. That aside, the conditioner made my hair super soft and silky right away, which was a relief after a week without conditioner. However, with my fine hair that tangles easily, I found I had to use a lot more product than usual to keep it manageable."

"I've used this detangler alongside the Awapuhi shampoo for years. My hair is long, fine, and tangle-prone, but this makes it silky, shiny, and completely knot-free. Even with color-treated hair, I never have split ends. It saves me from frustration and lets me skip the salon. This is my absolute favorite among all Paul Mitchell products."

"This conditioner is a real game changer for me. It completely eliminates the need for leave-ins or extra products because it detangles and smooths out even my most tangled, frizzy hair. After using it, I can comb through easily with barely any hair loss, and my hair feels clean and lightweight. The fragrance is subtle and clean, which I love. Best purchase I’ve made for my hair."

"I have curly hair, and after trying so many conditioners, this is the one that leaves my hair the softest. It’s worth the extra money to get results like this."

"I’ve tried so many products for my daughter’s really oily hair, and none have worked without leaving it dry or brittle. But this is a total game-changer—her hair is now moisturized, fluffy, and smells incredible. If I ever got this shampoo and conditioner as a gift, it would honestly make my day!"

"My hair is naturally coarse and knotty, but after just one use, I immediately ordered two more bottles. It’s affordable, gets rid of all my knots, and leaves my hair feeling so much smoother. I just hope they never discontinue it!"

"I love using this as a pre-poo because it softens my hair and makes detangling a breeze. The scent is really pleasant, and my hair feels incredibly smooth and manageable after using it."

"I've tried countless products for my thick, textured hair, but Pantene Gold Series Detangling Milk stands out for making detangling so easy. It keeps my hair soft, moisturized, and manageable without any heaviness. The scent is just right, and I love how it helps minimize breakage, whether I'm air drying or styling. After years of searching, this is the one I always come back to."

"My daughter’s fine hair used to tangle so badly, but since using this, brushing her hair is no longer a struggle. It moisturizes, softens, and leaves her hair tangle-free. A few pumps is all it takes, and it works wonders, especially if her hair is damp first. Absolutely essential if you’re dealing with stubborn tangles!"

"This product is a lifesaver for curly and natural hair. It melts through knots, hydrates without heaviness, and enhances my natural curl pattern. The creamy feel, subtle scent, and salon-quality results make wash days enjoyable. It truly respects and understands textured hair."

"I've relied on this detangler for ages because it truly keeps my long, fine, and color-treated hair knot-free and silky. Since my scalp is sensitive, I can't deal with tugging, but this product spares me from painful detangling and split ends. All Paul Mitchell products work well for me, but this is my top favorite."

"After trying so many conditioners, this one stands out for its miracle detangling and smoothing power. My hair is usually difficult, but with this, I hardly lose any hair in the shower and don't need any leave-in products. It leaves my hair feeling light, clean, and easy to manage, with a barely-there fresh scent."

"This is the only conditioner I trust, as it never weighs my hair down or causes buildup. Paired with Paul Mitchell shampoo, my hair always looks and feels great. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality hair care."

"I've finally found a product that keeps my 4c hair soft and hydrated without drying it out. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling to find the right brand."

"The fragrance is really nice and my 4c coils are left soft and easy to detangle after using this product. My only minor issue is that it's a bit too thick to squeeze out easily."

"I didn't run into any issues with this product—it worked well for me all around."

"I've struggled with tangled hair for ages, but this leave-in conditioner has totally transformed my routine. Brushing is now effortless, and my hair feels softer, shinier, and stays less tangled throughout the day. I love that it keeps my hair healthy and vibrant without breaking the bank. For the price, it's unbeatable!"

"My daughters and I have hair that gets really tangled, especially overnight. This product, especially when paired with the Unbrush, works wonders for detangling and adds a lovely softness and shine. The scent is amazing too—it's become a must-have for our haircare routine!"

"After trying so many products for my frizzy, weak hair, I finally found this leave-in and it's a game changer. My hair is now smooth, manageable, and free of frizz, with an incredible scent that lasts all day. I couldn’t be happier—highly recommend it to anyone struggling with similar hair issues!"

"I have thick, curly 4B hair and this detangling cream makes it so much easier to manage than using conditioner alone. My curls really stand out and my hair feels soft and healthy. Plus, the scent is amazing. A little goes a long way, so it’s definitely worth it!"

"With a family of kids ranging from 3b to 4c hair, wash days used to be tough. This product cuts down detangling time and even my daughter with the tightest coils finds it easier. Now, hair day is less of a battle and we always keep this in our rotation."

"I have natural 4C hair and live in a dry climate, so moisture is a real challenge. The Raw Shea Butter Deep Moisture line, especially this cream, keeps my hair nourished for days and makes detangling a breeze. I barely need to reapply, just a bit of water to refresh!"

"I've tried endless products for my thick, curly hair, but nothing helped with dryness and frizz—until I found this! After just one use, my hair felt softer and more defined, and the scent lasted even after drying. The bottle is big and a little goes a long way, making it totally worth the price. I finally found something that works!"

"I've been using this detangler for over 25 years, and now my daughter does too. It makes our thin, straight hair super soft and easily detangles in the shower. One bottle lasts almost a year, and the scent is never overpowering. Absolutely worth it!"

"This has become my go-to conditioner for long, damaged, tangled hair. Nothing else works as well for keeping my hair from getting knotty, even after a long day working in a dusty warehouse. It has a great scent and is a bit heavier, so it might not be for those wanting more volume, but for me, it’s a lifesaver."
