OGX Coconut Water Conditioner Review

Last time I was in my local Life Pharmacy I happened upon a few of the travel sized OGX Shampoo's and Conditioners. I had wanted to try some OGX products for a while but I was majorly put off by the price, so being able to get the Shampoo and Conditioner for $8.99 each in a travel size was great. I do occasionally travel for work or to see family so I knew these would come in handy anyway.

The packaging is quite simple for these which I really like. The conditioner is in a opaque shiny white container (similar to MAC strobe cream actually). I'm not a big fan of it being opaque though as you don't know how much is left. It seems quite sturdy which is great for travelling. The bottle is easily squeezable too which I like. It does really look quite classy. Also the top is curved so when you are running out you can't put it upside down to get the last bit out which is a bit sucky for such an expensive product.

I really like the scent, it is like the shampoo a really light coconut scent with a wee bit of a tropical scent too. I leaves a wee bit of a scent in my hair afterwards but not so much that it is terribly noticeable. A little bit of it managed to spread through my hair really nicely. It advises to leave this in for a couple of minutes which I did and it still washed out really easily which impressed me. But what impressed me even further was how shiny and manageable my hair was afterwards. They are also right about the weightlessness. I am really impressed that my hair can feel this nice and not be weighed down at the same time.

I have never used any expensive shampoo's or conditioners before, but I am actually really impressed with these and will consider buying the big sizes (if they're on special).

After the success of the OGX macadamia nut conditioner I thought I would give some of the others in the OGX family a go.

The Coconut water condition comes in the same designed shape of the other OGX products, a solid, chunky rounded bottle that seems to be made from a strong plastic that doesn't allow you to fully squeeze it, resulting in you hard shaking at it to get the last drops out of the bottle. Fully opaque body and the overall weight of the bottle means that you are not sure when the end is in sight you just have to judge for yourself which is annoying as it normally runs out without me knowing and then I get in the shower to a surprise.

Heavily scented with coconuts this liquid is just over the runny consistency, not too thick but a little more fluid than I normally expect from a conditioner. Applying it is easy as it almost melts into your dampen locks, rinsing away effortlessly. However I noticed from the word go that as soon as my hair started to dry, the frizz was on high alert and had to be tamed with more product than normal. After finishing the bottle and dealing with multiple frizz out breaks that can only be linked to this conditioner I went out and re-purchased the macadamia version which seems to be better suited to my hair type.

I bought this in a travel kit from Beauty Bliss for $32 (includes Tangle Teezer and shampoo) which was a great way for me to try all three products at a reasonable cost. I have thick wavy hair that has been treated with Keratin and even though the product is not the best conditioner I've used it's close to it.

I love the packaging because it's in the exact same shape as the shampoo but white which I appreciate because it makes it easier to differentiate which one is the conditioner and shampoo! Unlike the shampoo it has a lighter consistency that you can easily work into your hair without it melting away in your hand.

It doesn't lather up too much, just a decent layer of foam with a lovely scent of coconut water which isn't too overpowering. The foam disappears when I let the product sit in my hair for a few minutes. I like that when I wash it out my hair feels sleek and not straw-like which is usually an indicator for me to get rid of a haircare product.

What really won me over with the conditioner is that it leaves my hair soft, weightless and smelling of light coconut even by the third day! I don't believe I would purchase this conditioner on its own, it would always be in conjunction with the matching shampoo because I'm not 100% sure it would perform as well without it.

This product definitely did not smooth my parched locks. It left my hair very tangled and frizzy. I tried using more product the next time but this didn't really help matters either. I ended up finishing this conditioner way before the shampoo was even half finished which is annoying. The product is very thin and has a strong coconut scent which did not linger in my hair after showering. If you have excessively oily hair this may be for you as it is very light. I'm so disappointed as everyone raves about OGX products.

I picked up the 'extra for free!' bottle of this for less than $20 at Life Pharmacy, and it's a really good deal. I think if your hair were less in need of serious moisture than mine it'd be fine.

I love the cute, squat, rounded bottles OGX comes in, but it can make it hard to get the last lil bit out of the bottle at times.

This coconut water option smells deliciously of coconut - but in a subtle way, more Bounty bar than full on coconut. It moves through hair well and washes out cleanly, and is a moderately good hydrator. If you don't have super dry hair it would be lovely; mine needs more.

Pretty good value and quite lovely as a product, just not 100% correct for my current needs.

I had been meaning to try a shampoo/conditioner from this brand for ages. The appearance of these bottles is quite appealing to me, a little bit luxury looking I suppose. So finally I just grabbed for it one day a couple of months ago.

This conditioner is very thick, the fragrance is gorgeous although it smells nothing like coconut. It's very strong and citrusy mixed with potent tropical flowers.

Besides the fragrance, there is nothing else that I love about this conditioner unfortunately. It really doesn't do much for me at all.

My hair is prone to frizz and this conditioner doesn't help to smooth my hair in the slightest, I don't find it particularly hydrating or weightless enhancing so as it claims.

To be fair my hair is nice and shiny after using this conditioner, however I don't think that's anything that I can't get from most $4 supermarket conditioners.

Disappointing this one is, it's no better that a $4 special supermarket jobbie in my opinion, but that won't put me off trying a different conditioner from this brand.. Which I intend to do in the near future just out of interest really.
