For some reason, this conditioner is amazing for my hair for the first week and then it's like it stops having as much effect.
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner comes in a bright blue bottle, with a picture of the primary scent (coconut) on the modern-looking label. The dispenser is at the base, making it easy to extract the product.
The conditioner is a creamy pale blue, with a mid-thick consistency and a delicious coconut fragrance that is subtle but distinct.
I find that the conditioner, in that magic week, moves through my hair well, but then it seems to stop having the same effect, and start dragging a little.
Initially it softens my hair beautifully and leaves it silky and awesome, but then it starts to have less and less effect. My hair then knots more and gets tangled easily.
I have bought this a few times but I tend to just use it occasionally because that way I seem to get the best benefits from it. I have other conditioners that simply suit my hair better. The hydration claims of the product really are hit or miss, for me, unfortunately!
The fragrance is lovely though!
I can't be the only one, but when i buy a shampoo, I instinctively buy the matching conditioner. It is just something ingrained in me that I can't change, so when i brought the shampoo , i had to buy this conditioner as well.
This conditioner comes in a similar bottle to the shampoo except it sit upside down. The bottle is blue in colour, and has a smooth shape which makes it easy to hold. The lid flip up which you push one end (like the see-saw), and the little hole makes it easy to push out just the right amount of product. Although when the bottle is getting empty, i find it really hard to push the product out and actually need to use two hands.
The conditioner is pale blue in colour, and is slight thick but its not very creamy. Its not lavishly thick, and doesn't feel lavish when applying it to my hair, so nothing special in that sense.
The reason why I like this conditioner is because of the coconut smell. Yumo, something about coconut just makes me so happy.
This conditioner does an okay job, when my hair is wet is detangles my hair easily, and washes out nicely leaving no heavy residue. However, it doesn't condition my hair as well as other products, and leaves it looking soft, but messy. It just can't seem to tame and hold my hair's natural curl.
Personally, this conditioner doesn't do much for me. But I love the smell. I might have this in my cupboard as a back up, but its not something i overly enjoy using (other than the smell), and it doesn't do a whole lot to my hair either.
