essano Intense Hydration Conditioner

I managed to score this and the shampoo in the beauty vault, so was a good chance to try it as I don't often use non salon brand shampoo.

First things first, they should put the label the other way around as it needs to be stored on it's head as the consistency is really thick and even with a full bottle needs to be shaken/knocked to get product out. The rich, creamy consistency works for me though as my hair feels really moisturised and treated after use. I do notice when rinsing I still feel a residue on my back which makes me think it's a silicone type product making my hair feel softer and smoother as opposed to active ingredients helping this. But remember, it's a drugstore brand so won't move mountains!

It works, and goes well with the shampoo. I just don't think i'd use it long term as I don't know if it would 'undo' all the effects of my salon quality products.

Lovely thick conditioner, which I love, and it quickly detangled my hair and left it feeling soft and strong. The only issue I had with it was the fragrance - at first I liked it, then I realised it smelt soapy and a bit sickly. And the fragrance does linger! Such a shame as I love a well-fragranced product but unfortunately this one just clashed with my senses. A good upper range supermarket product though, and nice and thick with lots of substance.

So I used this numerous times, purchased it multiple. The first few times I may have grabbed this as it was on special and liked the sound of Argan for my hair. Went back to repurchase and found it closer to $18 a bottle which is really pricey for what it is in my opinion. I love the scent of this (like the shampoo), yes it smells like argan oil. However unlike the shampoo, this didn’t do so well on my hair. It made my hair incredibly greasy with washes once a day. I did start washing my hair less regularly and found that this was much better for dry/damaged hair.

This is a really thick conditioner, the thickness reminds me of some deep conditioning treatments, and when squeezing out it this the conditioner held the form of the lines on it. Apply to hair, wait a few minutes and wash out. It has a nice scent to it and I am quite happy with it.

What I wasn't expecting was how slippery it made my shower afterwards, the first time I used a lot and thought this was the reason but no when I used less the next time the same thing happened. It does however make your hair nice and soft, so soft that the next time I have skipped the conditioner the next shower and just used the shampoo only. It does seem to be quite easy to run a comb or wide bristled brush through it. Price is a bit more than my usual Sunsilk but I am thinking about getting this as a treatment option rather than everyday use.

I really love this product. It smells divine and definitely keeps the little frizzy hairs from sticking up once it is dry. My hair had been quite dry but after using this a couple of times a week it has never looked better.

I received this beautiful conditioner in my I Am Co box. It smells yummy and leaves my hair soft and full bodied but without frizz. The Argan oil does well coating my hair and stopping it frizzing without leaving it oily. I have a sensitive scalp and can use this conditioner without any irritation. I also like the click top to dispense the product.

I do like this conditioner a lot despite lid of the container being very annoying! You have to bang the container to move the product out of it. However I see the new version has a softer bottle and should be much better Yay! So I can give it a thumbs up all round as a great conditioner for my (older and grey) fine hair. I generally wash my hair every other day and Day 2 hair is still soft an easy to put up. Best to leave the product in for a while before rinsing.

This conditioner is a thick consistancy and makes my hair feel soft and silky. It does have a strong smell but I like it. Compared to the other products available in the supermaket it is a bit expensive and not the biggest sized (300ml) but on the plus side its environmentally friendly. Would definately rate it over some salon bought products.
