Boots Henna & Horsechestnut Conditioner

I was in Boots the other day and, since I was clutching a voucher for extra points if I spent £15, I was looking to see if there was anything else that I needed costing about a pound or so to make my shopping basket total £15 or more. I noticed that the Boots Henna and Horsechestnut Shampoo and Conditioner were on offer - buy one get one free and they were only £1.29 each anyway. The shampoo and conditioner were both labeled as being for 'brunettes and red hair' and that they both 'enhance hair colour and shine'. Being a redhead I have used these before but haven't had any for years so I decided to try some and it meant I got my bonus points! *** ...  Read the complete review

I brought this when i brought my shampoo which i previously reviewed as i like to have matching shampoos and conditioners where possible. Again i am not keen on the smell of the conditioner, not my sort of thing as i like my shampoos and conditioners to be fruity or floral which this definatley wasnt.

All that said though this conditioner did leave my hair in very good condition, surprisingly for a product that is so cheap, my hair was very soft, very shiny and was very easy to ...  Read the complete review

...ampoo... Oh, wait - I'm reviewing the conditioner. My bad ;) It does, however, give me a good starting point: the appearance of Boots' Henna and Horsechestnut Conditioner (H&HC). While the shampoo makes me think of dog shampoo (brown and semi-transparent), this conditioner does rather resemble a bottle of... urm... well, poo, not to put too fine a point on it! The resemblance is even more pronounced when you actually come to use this, as the consistency is quite thick. Hmm. Now that I've totally put you off the stuff, let me tell why - despite appearances! - I still use this stuff. There is an irony in me buying red-enhancing ...  Read the complete review

I bought this recently at Boots whilst looking for a good value alternative and feeling like my brunette locks were a little lack-lustre and in need of a boost. At £1.26 for a 300ml bottle this is pretty good value and there is a complementing shampoo to try. Of course there is always the bonus of Boots advantage points too if you hold their card, which I find very useful around Christmas time. The conditioner is rather brown and thick but does work in well and I am happy with the result - smooth, manageable locks and I do believe it has given my hair the boost I was looking for. The only downside, which is quite annoying, is that I ...  Read the complete review
