essano Blonde Conditioner

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.

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 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 was a nice vibrant purple change from boring white conditioners! I enjoyed using this product along with its counterpart the Shampoo. The Shampoo left my hair feeling quite coarse so the conditioner was definitely needed to smoothen out and hydrate - it did exactly that. My hair was a lovely icy blond again after using this product without compromising the shine and texture. I also used some of my normal conditioner at the ends of my hair to be certain that I had enough moisture as I have quite long hair.

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 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!
