essano Blonde Conditioner

I've been exploring the world of purple haircare lately, as I transition my hair from brown permanent dye to natural silver. Most purple shampoos and conditioners are salon brands, so it's great to see a budget option. This conditioner is lovely to use, it has a pleasant mild smell and is a light purple colour. It applies well and rinses out easily. My hair is fine, so I look for lighter weight conditioners which will moisturise but not weight it down. This conditioner fits the bill nicely. Used with the matching shampoo it cools down the warm tones in my combo bleached and natural grey hair. The packaging is nice and looks like a more expensive product.

I didn't find the scent of the Conditioner pleasant, but I suspect thats due to all of its natural ingredients. I absolutely love that it does what it says....my hair was toned a beautiful ashy blonde and once naturally dried, it was smooth and shiny! I also left it in for slightly longer than it says and its definately not as potent as the Fudge Purple Conditioner so didn't stain my hair at all. The packaging is brilliant (recyclable, 100% pre-used) and the pump makes it so much easier to disperse the product so you don't accidently use too much! Plus its sulphate-free! How good!

I've been using this conditioner and accompanying shampoo for two weeks now. My hair is naturally medium brown, but I've lifted it 4 levels lighter.

I like my purple toning products to be deeply pigmented. We're talking violet. Unfortunately the Essano Blonde conditioner is merely lilac, meaning that it didn't really give enough colour pay-off to make a noticeable difference in my blonde tones.

In terms of nourishing my hair, it did an average job. I could still comb my hair easily after the shower, but it wasn't any better than other conditioners from the supermarket.

Finally, the smell. I love a yummy scent that gives me a real 'experience' in the shower. I could probably handle no fragrance at all, but a bad scent is just not cool. Sadly, I found the smell of the Essano conditioner really gross! I can't quite describe what it smells like, but based on the smell I won't be repurchasing.

I love the fact that this product comes in recyclable packaging and there are no nasties ( parabens, sulphates etc). No animals are used in testing of this product so that is a definite plus for me and it is made in NZ. It isn't an overly fragrant product but has a pleasant scent. I found I had to use a LOT of product to get a feeling of nourishment and creaminess on my thrice weekly washed hair. I didn't find any noticeable difference to my blonde highlights at all or find my hair shinier and softer. Based on my findings, I probably wouldn't buy this conditioner again.

I found the conditioner to be very nourishing, smells nice and paired with the blonde tone shampoo it really helps with the brassy tones in my hair and keeping the ashy tone I like. A similar consistency to most other conditioners I've used in the past. The price point is very affordable and I would definitely recommend to others.

I used this conditioner following the Tone-Correcting Shampoo and was pleased with the results. You don't need much and the formula is easily worked through the hair from root to tip and smells good - no 'chemically' smell like some other brands. Washing the product out was easy and there was no greasy leftover feel, which is a god sent for someone with fine hair that easily gets/feels dirty. Upon drying my hair was easily styled following its used - I curled and straightening as normal with no crispy ends!

I'm not really sure of its tone-correcting abilities as I always feel that this is really the work of the shampoo, but I definitely found the product to be a great follow up to the Tone-Correcting Shampoo, the two seemed to compliment one another nicely.

One thing I'm not a massive fan of, however, is the bottle - I would have much preferred to see a locakable pump used (like the shampoo) to avoid the dreaded 'naked shake' of the bottle when it's running low and you're trying to get that last little bit to come down so you can squeeze it out. That said, though, it's a minor and certainly wouldn't stop me using it again. Nice one Essano!

I used this together with the Essano blonde purple shampoo, it had a more gentle fragrance than the shampoo which was nice and was quite moisturising, but not that heavy. However i found that using the pair together was a bit rich for my fine blonde hair. It did leave my hair shiny and nice and soft , but i was having to wash my hair daily when i used these products and thats not ideal.

This conditioner has less of a scent than the matching shampoo, it's a light floral scent. It is very moisturising and a little goes a long way. The first time I used it I spent ages trying to wash it all out. I would recommend using no more than a $2 coin sized amount. My hair is soft and silky and no signs of brassiness when using this and the matching shampoo. I love that its gentle enough to use every wash and keeps your hair in good condition

After being a long time user of purple toning products I have been through my fair share of purple shampoos but i have never really tried the conditioners. I always though it was enough to just use the shampoo but after using this product for the last few weeks I think it is definitely worth a try!

I have very fine, chemically damaged hair and was very excited to learn that I had been invited to trial the essano purple toning products. The idea that they are all natural and available at the supermarket really got my attention. I prepped my hair by staying away from my usual toning products for the few weeks leading up to it and had a sufficient amount of brassy tones going on up there.

The bottle is gorgeous - it is purple and silver with an amazing feel. It looks and feels expensive. It has a flip/clip push open top. The smell is insanely good - just like the shampoo it smells like roses and sherbet. It is lilac tinted and the texture is thick and luxurious feeling- after applying it I had no drips. I left it in for 2 minutes after washing with their shampoo and then rinsed.

My hair instantly felt healthier and softer. After dryer (with a hair dryer) and running my straighteners through it I was left with smooth, silky, brass free strands that smelt amazing!.

I was worried that with this brand I would have trouble with the product being to heavy for my thin hair but it worked an absolute treat!

i will be repurchasing this once it runs out - along with its matching shampoo.

I raved on about the story of my bleached blonde hair in my shampoo review so won't repeat it here other than to say the condition of my hair is a extremely damaged and porous with a LOT of daily breakage. Again, the conditioner in this range smells amazing. It is lightly pigmented, more a lilac colour which is great after the intensity of the shampoo. The product goes on well and I didn't hold back on my mid lengths and ends. I found it easy to comb through and the comb was not full of hair which has become my norm, very pleased about that! My hair was soft on drying, I can't really comment on the smoothing because my hair is never smooth on drying these days; it requires a lot of product and light straightening to get it half way decent. In saying this it was just as smooth as the in salon products I have recently been using. I would recommend this conditioner to others and will continue to use it.
