Alberto VO5 Fade Defy Conditioner

I recently wrote about my experiences with VO5's Fade Defy shampoo, and now I will tell you about the matching conditioner, which I also used. ~What they say~ The conditioner is suitable for all coloured hair and 'the protein enriched formula restores the hairs condition so you get that shiny, vibrant, just coloured look for longer.' Like the shampoo it claims to lock in the colour for 5 times longer. ~Packaging~ Packaged in a red bottle similar to the shampoo, the main difference with the conditioner packaging, is that it opens from the bottom instead of the top. I found the flip-open lid of the conditioner was easier to open ...  Read the complete review

After a few dodgy years with a seriously destroyed mullet I can now honestly say that my hair, in my opinion, is my crowning glory. My husband, for want of a better term is my hero, he lets me go to the hairdressers for an extortionate amount of time to sit down be pampered and spend far too much of his money in one sitting, all this without moaning, what a guy!

This is because it is the conditioner that determines the overall managability and appearance of my ...  Read the complete review

I use this conditioner with the matching shampoo and I've found that, together at least, they really do work. Both have a similar smell, not a particular fragrance like coconut or strawberry, but not unpleasant all the same. The conditioner bottle has a different design to the picture shown, which is actually the shampoo bottle. It is more of an oval with the opening on the bottle, but it is the same colour. I have found that there are advantages and disadvantages to having the opening on the bottom. When the bottle is running out, it does make is easy to get the conditioner out. However, when it is full, it means that it can come spilling out before you are ...  Read the complete review
