Advantages: Smells great, makes my hair softer and slightly calmer.

Disadvantages: The cost and doesn't make my hair SHINE!!

- Price & Packaging -

This is currently available for £5.99 for a 150ml. However I got this along with the shampoo and conditioner in a gift set, 3 items for just £15.00 which offered some saving.

This comes in a grey with a slightly lilac tinted tube. It sits on the flip top lid from which the conditioner is dispensed.

~ Helps nurture, soften and smooth hair.

- My Experience -

* Smell and Appearance

This is a white, quite thick looking cream, no great surprises there. My favourite aspect of this intensive conditioner is the smell. It has quite a strong perfumed scent to it which is fresh and vibrant. The manufacturer's statement that it is 'scented with a unique and sophisticated fragrance' is true in my humble opinion.
The smell lasts for some time on my hair, making it smell clean and refreshed.

* How do I use it?

I have used this after washing my hair with a variety of different shampoos. The consumer is advised to use this whenever your hair needs a moisture boost, which for me is every time I wash it! I use this on wet hair, using quite a good palm full of the conditioner. I massage it in to all of my hair, unlike some conditioners which I only use on the ends of my hair. I then wrap my hair in a towel and leave the conditioner on for between 5 and 10 minutes. This goes against the advised time of 2 minutes but I find that this works better for my very dry, frizzy, coarse hair.

It is easily washed out and my hair feels luxuriously soft and tangle free as I am washing it off.

* How effective is it?

This really does make my hair less coarse and more manageable. I feel as if it does help give a little bit of nourishment to my ever so dry hair although I can't go so far as to say that it gives it a healthy shine - I don't think my hair has had that since my early days! It certainly softens and conditions my hair more than the bog standard huge number of basic conditioners that I have used over the years.

* Overall

For once, I actually feel that I have given my hair a little treat by using this intensive conditioner. I would recommend that if your hair is very dry and quite damaged, as mine is, then you leave it on for longer than the suggested two minutes. It hasn't provided a miracle cure for my hair with all of its frizz and split ends but it does go some way to making it feel softer and healthier.
I'm now looking forward to using the conditioner and shampoo from the pack which I will try when all of my others run out!
