Advantages: Does make your hair nice and shiny

Disadvantages: The smell!!

I have not been convinced by the Aussie brand of hair care in the past, but having read a couple of glowing Dooyoo reviews on this product, I remembered I actually had a bottle of this reconstructor at the back of my cupboard. I was given a gift set of the shampoo, conditioner and reconstructor back last Christmas and was so unimpressed by the shampoo and conditioner, I hadn't even tried the reconstructor.

The blurb on the back of the bottle promises to mend split ends and roughened cuticles and transforms dry, damaged hair in 3 minutes - well, who was I to refuse?

So, trying to have an open mind and having quite dry hair at the moment, I thought I would give it a go. The reconstructor is packaged in a really hand tube which you need to give a good squeeze before the product dollops satisfyingly out of the bottom. The product is much thicker than a standard conditioner, but even so is easy to apply evenly to your damp hair. You then need to leave for the "required 3 mins" or as long as you take in the shower generally before rinsing through.

I have to say I was pretty impressed. I really noticed a difference straight from the time I rinsed through - even with wet hair my hair felt lovely and smooth - I know this doesn't really sound possible, but it did feel different! After drying, my hair was much more manageable (really easy to comb through after the shower) and did have more shine.

My one complaint, as with the rest of the brand, is the smell - really doesn't do it for me. The Australian Balm Mint is supposed to have a naturally sweet scent, and given it is a pretty sweet smell, but it just smells of chemicals to me so not a big hit. It did make my hair feel nice, and I will certainly be using the rest of the bottle, but not sure I will be running to the shops to replace it after it runs out.

Summary: Pretty good product, if you can get past the smell!
