I was pleasantly surprised with this product.It is also very reasonably priced and easily availbale. It left my hair feeling soft, smooth and definitely had a great shine. I generally have full thick frizzy hair so cannot comment about my hair looking fuller. The downside of this product is it is not well scented or not scented at all. Ihave used it a fe times and could not smell anything.

Tips: Use a great smelling shampoo before using this as it is not well scented. Buy a few bottles as you are going to love this .
I loved this conditioner. It was thick and creamy. My hair felt smooth after using it and I noticed that my hair looked healthier
I wanted to like this but did nothing to help my frizzy hair hair. Smell was pretty nice but not as good as version with royal jelly.
I am very very fussy with shampoo however
I received this as a pair to the Total Repair 5 Shampoo to review from BR.
The conditioner is of a decent size and as I don't use a huge amount now I have short hair it would last me some time.
The scent is subtle but lovely. It absorbs quickly into my hair after shampooing and I always try to leave in for a decent time and comb through.
Once I'm ready to wash it out I find it washes out easily leaving my hair really silky.
Since using this pair I have definitely noticed a huge change in my hair it feels thicker softer and shiny. Really enjoying using them and would definitely recommend if you are looking for repairing hair care on a budget
I have long thick hair and I usually buy salon Conditioner so both myself ( and my wallet) were very excited to try the conditioner in hope of a "drug store miracle" but unfortunately that was not the case, I LOVED the smell and how clean and nice my hair looked after using this product however it made my hair too fluffy and soft to deal with, I like to mix my hair style during the week for work, either by leaving out straightened or up in a bun and I tried both styles after using the product and my hair was just too fluffy and static with god and my hair bun would not hold :( I was quite disappointed as the product smelt amazing!!
Coming from someone who usually only uses salon products I found this to be quite good. The smell is AMAZING and lasts throughout the day. It's the type of conditioner where a little goes a long way so I didn't need to use a huge amount each time I washed my hair. I didn't notice my hair to be in any better condition after using it though. Just a small negative I noticed was that the consistency seemed a bit runny for a conditioner. Packaging is bright and bold, looks good.
Tips: I'd leave mine on a few minutes before washing out to help my hair feel softer.
Firstly my hair is very long, straight with a slight kink in it and is very very damaged. I've recently bleached my ends for the ombre effect so the ends are very dry and brittle. I usually wash my hair once or twice a week only for the fact that I dread combing my wet hair and seeing all the breakage, but for this trial I washed my hair every second day for 2 and a half weeks.
First impressions when I received my package was that the bottles were quite small. The bottles are thin and just a simple white and red label. It has a nice pleasant smell the exact same as the shampoo smell more of a clean refreshing smell.
After shampooing my hair I would quickly towel dry my hair then massage the conditioner through my ends and mid length, I would massage my hair and make sure it was saturated with the conditioner and really work it in to make sure it was all covered, I would then leave it for the remainder of my shower and before rinsing it out would massage it into my roots and scalp. After washing my hair I would comb it with a wide tooth comb and just leave it to dry naturally. I always noticed that when my hair would dry the ends would dry before the rest of my hair I'm guessing it's from the damaged.
After the end of my trial my ends are still very dry and damaged, not much has changed although there is a lot less breakage which I'm so happy about and it has made my hair more shiny. Overall I was a bit disappointed and did have high expectations from this product it didn't really do what it said it would apart from the less breakage factor.
Tips: At my most recent hairdressing course they always say to towel dry your hair before applying the conditioner. That way the conditioner isn't watered down when you put it on your hair and the product has more of a chance to penetrate your hair :)
After trialling they new L'Oreal Pairs Total Repair Conditioner for the last few weeks I have decided it is not for me. The conditioner smelt great and did leave my hair feeling silkier to touch but caused an extreme amount of fluffiness to occur. The product didn't leave my hair looking fuller and I didn't notice an improvement in strength like the product stated. Overall if it wasn't for the extreme fluffiness I would maybe consider using the product again but I didn't enjoy having to tame the excess baby hairs that appeared every time I used the product.
Tips: If you had extremely dry hair this product would be a great way to increase volume, perhaps my hair was a little too soft to start with
I loved the smell but found the conditioner way too greasy for my hair. I found my hair hard to brush and didn't have a nice after feel once hair was dry.
Tips: I thinks it better suited To someone that has problems with dry hair or someone who lightens their hair
The conditioner is better than the shampoo, but not by much.
The amount of conditioner I need after using the shampoo is ridiculous, the shampoo makes my hair so matted that I need so much conditioner just to have manageable hair.
My hair does have a nice shine to it afterwards and it seems to last longer before it gets greasy but this really isn't worth the hassle that the shampoo brings.
