Advantages: Smells gorgeous, effective conditioner.

Disadvantages: Consistency a little too thick.

I have to admit that I am not brand loyal when it comes to shampoo and conditioner. I remember reading once that hair can become used to a product and that it becomes less effective through continuous use. However to be honest, my lack of loyalty is more due to the fact that I like a bargain and tend to buy what is on offer! This is how I came across this conditioner.

I haven't bought it before as the original advert really got on my nerves (girl in shower moaning!), but at Morrisons the 400ml bottle was half-price at just £1.29 so I deceided to give it a go.

The conditioner comes in a lovely lilac coloured bottle with a green flip top. It is now called 'Dazzling Shine' and is suitable for normal hair. The conditioner is white in colour and has a really thick consistency that is difficult to get out of the bottle, even when the bottle is left upside down overnight. It needs a really hard squeeze, and even then a shake to actually get the product out. (I could foresee this becoming a problem as the bottle becomes emptier).

However, purely by accident when using this product in the bath, I dropped it in and found that a little water mixed in with the conditioner made it an easier consistency to deal with, didn't affect its performance and in fact makes it last even longer!

The product smells really nice, flowery and clean, and has a lasting fragrance that you can smell all day. It left my shoulder length hair soft and shiny so certainly did its job well. There is a note on the bottle that says that the pack is 'blossoming into the new light green Dazzling Shine' soon, so if you wanted this product for its purple packaging you will be out of luck.

I would recommend this product for 2 very good reasons. It does a really good job of conditioning hair, and will last a lot longer if mixed with a little water making it really good value for money,

Summary: Left my hair really soft, smelling great and good value for money.
