I loved the smell but found the conditioner way too greasy for my hair. I found my hair hard to brush and didn't have a nice after feel once hair was dry.

Tips: I thinks it better suited To someone that has problems with dry hair or someone who lightens their hair
The conditioner was really disappointing as it was very runny and too thin a texture to do any good. The bottle is designed to be upside down so when you flip the lid to open it, the conditioner POURED out and was wasted.
It smelled of red apples but didn't smell as nice on the hair and the smell didn't linger for long on the hair. Maybe this was due to it being so thin and was all washed out when rinsed.
Also I needed to use a lot to make it feel like I had conditioner in it.
I don't think my hair felt any more restored, silky or shiny after using this product unlike other conditioners. And for this reason I would not buy it or recommend it to anyone.
Tips: Don't store it upside down or the product will end up down the drain when you open it.
After using the shampoo, I thought this would be exactly what my hair needed to repair the damage the shampoo had done to my hair, but I was wrong. I didn't get the softness, the silkiness, or the moisture I had hoped would be absorbed back into my hair despite me having to use quite a bit of product for every use. My hair didn't even feel smooth when coating my hair in this conditioner, which I thought was a little odd as most conditioners make your hair feel silky soft when applying it. I couldn't even run my fingers through my hair, there were too many knots/matted bits all through my hair. So when it was time to brush my hair, I was expecting it to be quite a difficult task, and sure enough it was. It was rather painful, my hair was being ripped out and it was breaking, leaving me with short damaged strands of hair. It got to the point where I just had to stop brushing. It left my hair smelling lovely though but unfortunately that's the only positive thing it's done for me.
After reading the blurb of total repair 5 i thought this would be exactly what my hair needed to bring it back to life, sadly i was wrong
total repair 5 conditioner left my hair feeling straw like and feeling drier than what i went into the shower with :/ I needed quite alot of product to distribute through my shoulder length hair, even when adding more my hair still felt knotty and straw like which is stranger because normal conditioners leave my hair feeling quite silky.
the packaging, smell and labeling hoowever i was impressed on, other than that i think i will go back to using my organic care shampoo and conditioner
i have dry damaged hair and saw no results in 2 weeks, bottle only has a litter left in it as well which i never go through a conditioner in 2 weeks
I like the packaging on this product , it’s interesting and nice to look at.
I found this conditioner was a bit of a let down, usually after I condition my hair I can at least feel a difference as the product is being washed out, my hair would usually feel silkier and I’d be able to put my fingers through it , with this product it didn’t feel any different .
I found I still needed to use the Moroccan oil hair mask I have, in order to get a brush through my hair after I’d washed it.
I have dry hair from highlights and found I had to use a large amount of the product to get coverage of my thick curly hair.
This product is not as heavily scented as the shampoo, but still caused some irritation to my sensitive scalp after a few uses .
I was disappointed with the results and wont be using this product again.
Tips: Not such a good choice for highlighted hair
It smelt really nice and that's where the good stuff ended for me. The consistency was really runny so I found I had to use heaps of it to cover my hair properly. It didn't detangle my hair an awful lot. No improvement at all for me to damaged ends. I'm sorry but I wouldn't bother going out to buy it even though it is well priced
Thankfully I got to try both the Shampoo and Conditioner. I had high hopes for the L'Oreal range, and was excited about the new ads on TV suggesting they are including keratin in some of the hair care products.
Firstly, I'll start by saying I liked how light the conditioner was, but to be honest I didn't feel overly clean afterwards. If you have read my shampoo review you will see that I have naturally curly hair which when a product is good will go into quite nice loose spiral curls, unfortunately this wasn't the case with this product. Between that and the unclean feeling I'm not a big fan.
Tips: Perhaps there was a different range of L'Oreal that would've been more suited to my hair type.
Unfortunately I didn't get the results I was hoping for from this conditioner. I used it after the same shampoo and it has not made a scrap of difference to my hair and hasn't fulfilled any of it's claims. I found the product was too runny for a conditioner, just didn't feel right. I did like the nice fragrance though. It washed out nicely but just felt the same as any other conditioner. I haven't noticed any changes to my hair since using it so I wouldn't recommend it and will be sticking with my usual product.
Again, I have curly, frizzy, oily, heavily heat damaged hair.
I used this in addition to the elvive total repair shampoo. It had a nice silky consistency and smells fantastic. And that's pretty much where my praise ends.
I had to condition my hair twice! It felt ok while I was in the shower. After I towel dried my hair, it was so matted and dry that I had to comb through a serum in my hair!!!!
I'm not sure if it was a combination of both products that my hair didn't take to kindly to but I probably won't be purchasing this conditioner again.
Totally didn't do what it said it would and I used it consecutively for 3weeks. I didn't notice strengthened hair at all. I was really disappointed, sad to say
Like the shampoo this conditioner didn't really reap good results.
I needed Loads of conditioner so my hair didn't feel like straw after using with the shampoo and after I washed it out my hair was dry, stringy, and fluffy.
My mother even commented on how dry my hair was and what did I do to it.
Like the shampoo though this conditioner smelled wonderful and was presented in a gorgeous easy to dispense bottle..
Unfortunately just not for my hair type I don't think..
