I have read many reviews of the Alberto Balsam range on dooyoo, most of them pretty positive. Gradually my curiosity built up. Previously I had considered this rather a dull purchase. I have often seen it in £1 stores, and generally there will be something more exciting available there, a bargain, rather than a product that is always available cheaply. I assumed that the conditioner in particular would be runny and merely adequate in its effectiveness. The Morrisons started running a promotion (still going!) where you could buy four bottles for £3. I bought a selectionof four based on their names and regardless of what hair type they were for. My hair tends to get  Read the complete review

I'm currently using the Alberto Balsam Mandarin Conditioner and Shampoo. I'm not brand loyal when it comes to conditioners and shampoos, I'm happy to use whichever products happen to be on offer or seem to be the best value. The Alberto Balsam range of conditioners and shampoos are available in most supermarkets, Boots, Superdrug, Poundland etc. And they normally retail at just £1 each. I bought mine from Sainsbury's where they are currently on a 4 for 3 offer. 4 for 3 is a bit of a weird number for me as I always use two bottles of conditioner to every one bottle of shampoo, and so a 3 for 2 is absolutely perfect, a 4 for 3 however leaves me with one spare ...  Read the complete review

I should premise this review by stating that I don't tend to buy a lot of expensive shampoos and conditioners. I honestly can't see the difference between what is a more expensive and supposedly better quality conditioner than most of the cheaper ones on offer. If you prefer expensive hair care items them your opinion might differ but I personally think this is a great and affordable conditioner for everyday use. The bottle is quite simple and practical in the way it is designed. It is a tall circular shaped bottle which has a black plastic lid and a clear frosted body. There is a label which goes around the bottle with information about the product, the brand ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Alberto Balsam Mandarin Conditioner alongside the matching shampoo, as I like to use matching products and the range was on special offer at the time. I have used Alberto Balsam products in the past and one problem I have found is that the conditioners can be quite watery. I have very long, thick hair, so I do need a good quality conditioner to keep it looking nice and tangle free, so I did have a few reservations about this product before I had even used it. The conditioner comes in a frosted plastic bottle through which you can see the pale orange coloured conditioner and it has an easy to open black flip top lid. The design is very similar - in ...  Read the complete review

Alberto Balsam is a brand of hair products that are always hanging around our house, mum being on a budget and these being very affordable she usually sticks to this brand for shampoos and conditioners for general family use. The limited edition mandarin ones have been what's been in the bathroom lately so this is what I've been using. They only cost about £1 but they're often also on special offers in supermarkets so you can really get a bargain. The bottle is the same style as all Alberto Balsam bottles, plain and simple but not really cheap looking. It is a clear plastic so you can see how much is left and has a flip top lid which makes it really easy and ...  Read the complete review
