I was selected to trial and review the shampoo as well as the conditioner in this range as part of the trial team.This conditioner is perfect to use with the shampoo because they both work well together and deliver results to your hair.
The Essano conditioner has the same plant based ingredients but instead of a pump bottle the bottle has a push down lid which is so easy to use and there is virtually no mess at all.The consistency is quite thick and has a very Mauve tinge to it,you can also smell that violet scent which doesn't appear to be as strong smelling as the shampoo. After shampooing my hair I applied a decent amount of the conditioner,about half a hand full through the mid length and ends of my hair.I left it on for a good 5 minutes even though 1-2 minutes is all that is required.I didn't notice much of the violet smell lingering in my hair after rinsing and letting my hair dry naturally but I believe this works well with the shampoo and does deliver results to keep your hair brass free,soft,smooth,frizz free and in a healthy condition. I think the range is quite affordable and accessible in most places such as The Wharehouse,Countdown,New World and Health Post including online.You don't need to use a lot of the product so it would be economical to use too. I definitely recommend this conditioner along with the shampoo in this range,you will be pleased with the results as I have.I am hoping to upload some before and after photos so you can see the difference.
This conditioner really deserves full marks. My hair is fine and it did its job too well. It immediately softened and smoothed my hair imparting a lovely shine but on my fine hair I found it flattened it. This is not the brands fault as any conditioner has that effect on me and instead of putting it on the tips only I covered my whole head and luxuriated in it. Bad move. In future I would follow the manufacturer's instructions. I would heartily endorse it for the majority of hair types. I put it on immediately after the shampoo and you could feel the strands of hair smoothing out and untangling. Drying it was a breeze and instead of me looking like a wild child with sticky up hair I found to my delight it lay flat and smooth. The container has a lid that when you press on the indent it flips up and you can pour it out easily. The bottle itself isn't rigid so you can give it a gentle squeeze to speed things up. Again, the container is smart enough to display on your shelf beside the Shampoo bottle. They are both tall and slender which fits a lot better and takes up less room than a squat fat bottle would.
Tips: If you have fine hair I would only do the tips as covering the whole head made my hair flatten out. It looks good but being short a little height suits me better. I think the creamy, pale lilac product seduces you into wanting to lavish it on your hair but use sparingly for a better result.
