You can also see some more detail in my review of the matching Shampoo but just to recap my main hair issues are: dry flaky scalp, fly aways, frizzy in hot weather, oily roots and dye damage, so pretty much anything and everything can go wrong with it. I’m currently trying to grow out the dye damage so supporting the new virgin hair coming through is my top priority. I normally wash my hair every second day and conditioning only every fourth out of those.
My hair took about a week to settle down with the first few days experiencing the new fluffiness that comes with changing to a new product but it soon calmed down into softness and smoothing down of my normal dry frizz. My hair had been seriously hydrated as I could see a visible difference after only a week of use and the problematic flaky patch even saw some improvement.
I used this conditioner together with its shampoo for this trial and have been thoroughly pleased with my overall results. While the shampoo has helped with balancing the oils in my hair and helping keep the scalp from drying out and worsening my flaky scalp patch, the conditioner has provided the finishing touch by smoothing it out and softening my hair to the point where I didn't need to tie it back into a ponytail to hide it. I have seen an overall reduction in all of my hair problems, not only does it sit better on my head in general but my hair is becoming easier to manage being much less prone to the ugly frizzy POOF that I normally get and a DRASTIC improvement on my usual fly aways. I couldn't tell you whether that’s due to hydrating my hair or a smoothing effect, but whichever it is it’s been working very effectively.
A few week son after seeing some encouraging results I also bought the leave in conditioner that goes with this specific range for some support on my in between wash days, I found this little addition meant I didn't need to use any hair product to keep my hair in control, I personally prefer having my hair natural and styled as little as possible especially while trying to grow it out and not cause further damage.
I will say that though there was an overall improvement in the dyed area of my hair, it is somewhat beyond saving as I've attempted salon treatments previously but to no avail, so if you have coloured hair I would avoid this one as it seems to work absolute wonders on my natural hair coming through but while there is a great improvement it couldn't quite pull off a complete miracle for my coloured hair areas so you if you do colour your hair I’d stick with a specialist product to support your hair and colour regime.
I used this paired with the shampoo and loved the results. The packaging looks great and doesn't fall over in the shower. I use conditioner most days to untangle so I don't have to damage my curly hair by brushing it but shampoo it only about twice a week. This product smells good, it is a subtle floral fragrance. It spreads easily through the hair and is effective so you don't have to use too much. It makes my hair feel nice and silky but doesn't cause frizzyness which is always great.
Tips: This product isn't as slick and hard to wash out as many other conditioners are so you don't have to spend ages rinsing it.
