Texture Control Moisture Intensive Dual Conditioner. Could this be a dupe for Lustrasilk Shea butter and Mango cholesterol?

Back in the day on every hair board one deep conditioner that everybody loved was Lustrasilk Shea butter and Mango cholesterol. Naturals loved it, relaxed heads loved it, when it was for some bizarre reason  discontinued. Do the people at Lustrasilk have no internet connection?  It was a bestseller!
Anyway the only reason why i decided to take this little trip down memory lane was because of a deep conditioner i recently bought. "Texture my way, Natural Hair therapies Texture Control Shea Butter and Olive Oil Moisture Intensive dual conditioner"




I applied it to dry hair ( something i haven't done for a while) left it on for quite a while and rinsed out. My hair was easy to detangle felt soft, moisturised and as i was washing it out a fragrance arose. A memory awakened and like the memory of a love lost, a thought about Lustrasilk Shea butter and mango cholesterol surfaced

I...I.. remembered. It smelt like Lustrasilk, made my hair feel like Lustrasilk. Could it be?
If your hair loved Lustrasilk it may very well fall in love again with this, its Doppelganger ( kind of creepy)
BUT BE WARNED. IT CARRIES A TERRIBLE CURSE!
I'm joking it doesn't have a curse. It has something much worse for some people. A SILLICONE!
As the two people that read my blog know ( thanks mum and Dad!) i use sulphates so sillicones are no problem for me personally.  If you have a problem with them, then i guess skip it.

Its thick orange and quite creamy but yet still liquidy if that makes sense
