essano Blonde Conditioner

Ok product - good supermarket brand though if you want to restore condition to your hair you are better with a salon product but this does restore some moisture and tones down the yellow a shade.

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to my usual redken blondage shampoo and conditioner so gave this a go.. at half the price it was promising. But I will stick to my redken for now.

This was good but not as good so maybe when I run out of my redken I will make the switch to this cheaper alternative. It’s good, just not as good.

I like the bottle shape and size. It’s typical purple of the blonde shampoos and conditioners so no mixing it up as I only use these once a week and normal shampoo and conditioner the rest of the days of the week as I only have colour in the ends.

It does smell nice but I love the smell of my usual blonde shampoo so it’s a tough one to beat it’s just not as good.

It’s a nice consistency creamy and coats the hair well and easily rinsed not too slimy either. It feels like it conditions which is an added bonus. Not as well as my usual though.

In terms of colour I have blonde balayage in the ends that tend to sway brassy as my undertones take over and colour fades.. this didn’t bring it back up to scratch like my redken.. it did a little but not compared hence I couldn’t rate it as high. The redken brings back a lot of the creamyness this not as much so it’s an ok cheap alternative but not the best.

This conditioner is available at most supermarkets. They regularly have this product on special so you can get it for a great price. It works well and leaves your hair feeling nice. I do use a more expensive conditioner as well but this product does extend the more expensive conditioner which is great.

I feel this conditioner is ok. I can't say it does amazing things for my hair but for the price and ingredients it's great. The lid and opening are sometimes hard to use. However I would buy again to supplement my more expensive salon brand. It's easy to grab with my supermarket shopping.

This conditioner smells DIVINE and also leaves me hair super soft and manageable - which is a must for a blonde conditioner. The only thing is it doesn't tone my hair as much as a salon purple conditioner..

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.

After running out of salon 'purple' shampoo and conditioner I opted to try a super market buy. This definitely wasn't the worst buy but it wasn't the best either. It cleaned my hair but it didnt tone well.

I wasn’t as much of a fan with this as I was with the shampoo. I felt this let me down a little with it’s barely there purple tone and wasn’t very nourishing on my hair. Also I would love to have seen this with a pump like the shampoo. It does have a pleasant fragrance and again a decent sized bottle that would last well for those with shorter hair. I feel that this would be probably well suited for people who don’t need super hydration or those who tend to go a little on the oiler side as it is very light weight . It wouldn’t be my first choice for conditioner for my long thick hair, but it wasn’t awful just didn’t provide the Hydration my hair craves.

I got this in a BR vault.

Curiously, the shampoo comes in a handy pump, and the conditioner doesn't - this packaging would be better on an inverted bottle, as I've basically tipped the bottle upside down to get at the product more easily, and it leaks slightly.

The product is thicker than the shampoo, and a paler purple, with the same herbal scent that i really really dislike.

The conditioner itself is okay, doesn't have a huge impact on the colour of my (naturally white) hair, but also does impart a bit of moisture and do what conditioner should. It's okay, nothing special.
