Advantages: Soft, smooth, silky, shiny hair

Disadvantages: None

I bought this conditioner along with the matching shampoo because it was on a buy one get one free offer in Morrisons. It costs around £2.20 for a 250ml bottle, or around £3.20 for a 400ml bottle.

According to the blurb this conditioner has a lush formula with white nectarine and pink coral flower extracts. It's supposed to help maintain the hairs volume while keeping it delightfully luscious. It also suggests using it alongside the matching shampoo for even more voluptuous volume.

It comes in a tall opaque bottle so you can't easily see when it's running out, but it does easily distinguish it from the shampoo which is in a transparent bottle. It stands on its lid, meaning that it's always ready to use even when it's nearly empty so you don't have to spend ages trying to get the conditioner out of the bottle. The lid is a press style, but it can be a little stiff at first making it quite difficult to open until it loosens up a bit.

The conditioner itself is a fairly thin consistency which feels really light and smooth. It's easy to smooth through the hair meaning you don't need to use a lot at a time. The scent is just as amazing as that of the shampoo, a gorgeous fresh, fruity scent which makes it a pleasure to use.

Whilst applying the conditioner it feels light on the hair and doesn't feel like it's weighing the hair down or over-moisturising. It feels creamy but fresh and light, and though it can take a while to wash out it's not as bad as a lot of conditioners, and my hair still feels clean and fresh once it's all washed out.

Once my hair is dried after using this conditioner it feels amazingly soft, and is left looking smooth and sleek, even more so than usual. It doesn't make it fluffy or staticy like a lot of volumising products can. Instead it leaves it frizz and static free, with a healthy shine to it. Whilst the conditioner itself doesn't make my hair more volumised, it doesn't detract from the effects of the shampoo, and my hair is still left feeling and looking full of body and bounce.

All in all I was pleased with the effects of this conditioner. It's lightweight formula means my hair doesn't feel over-moisturised or heavy, and it is left looking and feeling soft, silky, shiny and full of life. Definitely good value for money.

Summary: A great conditioner at a great price
