Disadvantages: I want to eat it

I am not sure conditioner is needed in today's world where there are such high-quality shampoos. I mean, surely you don't need to condition unless your hair's a problem do you? Well my hair's a problem, but the problem is that it's fast disappearing, nothing else!

When conditioner comes in flavours of something you really want to eat, you run the dangerous risk of making sure no-one is looking and taking a quick swig in the shower. This is very likely when it comes to strawberries and cream conditioner.

Consistency-wise, it's liquid but cream-like, and stays in your hand very well, unlike some runnier conditioners that drip everywhere. Unlike the shampoo, this even looks like cream, and looking at it on your hand, inhaling the fresh and delicious smell, you're not sure whether to stick it on your head or put it in your mouth. I guess one taste would soon remind you what it's for, but the point is there: this stuff looks and smells like something you really want to eat.

My only qualm is that it takes a lot of time to rinse out; it's very thick and clingy, and you need to rinse for a lot longer than you do with shampoo.

The main brilliance of the product is the smell, which is so refreshing and sweet that it wakes you up with a powerful start. Your whole shower smells great using this, and that is what it's all about is it not?

Don't worry though; you won't spend the whole day smelling of strawberries. When you rinse it off, it pretty much disappears, leaving you with just the slightest fruity aroma.

At 98p a bottle, it's well priced for a brand name, and is well worth it. I find the cheaper bottles don't have the same power to them.

Summary: do it
