I regularly used this one before, a few years ago, and was very pleased with it then. I went back to it again recently because, being in the sun a lot again, I noticed that my hair color was fading out really fast. I'm big on what a conditioner leaves my hair smelling like, and this one leaves a nice light fresh scent. It also did reduce the fade of my hair color, and left it well conditioned. I had the impression that it even made my hair a bit stronger and healthier. The only bad thing was that it left such a build up on my hair. I have very fine, curly hair. I don't use hair spray or gels, because any weighty product leaves my hair flat. After several days of using the color vive conditioner, it felt like I had a waxy build up, and my hair wouldn't curl up like normal. The color vive shampoo had no effect on this build up and I would have to use a more stringent shampoo to remove it. Now, several years ago when I used the color vive I didn't experience this. So I'm thinking they must have changed the formula and should change it back.

They did change the formula. Since you say you have thin curly hair you should use a curl activating mousse. It's lighter and will allow your curls to take on a more defined shape.
