Advantages: keeps colours nice and highlights show up brighter

Disadvantages: not conditioning or thick enough formula for me

I bought this Sheer Blonde Conditioner along with the shampoo, as I felt that the blonde colour of my hair was looking a bit dull and yellow.

This conditioner promised to maintain a pretty blonde shade that doesn't look yellow or washed out and this would also help bring out the lighter blonde highlights in the hair. I got the moisturising version of the blonde conditioner, as I felt my hair was quite dry and in need of extra moisture.

What I noticed about this conditioner, was that it looked a blonde shade with pearl reflects in it. It's not runny but the consistency isn't very thick either. From an extra moisture conditioner, I expected it to be quite tick so it would stay on the hair better and lock in all the moisture that way.
The scent wasn't too bad, it's like a sweet scent but I can't quite say what it actually is, it doesn't smell of either flowers or fruit... noting I actually recognise. But it's not an unpleasant smell so I thought that was OK.

I left it on my hair for 3 minutes, because when I ran my fingers through after about 2, it didn't feel quite as soft and smooth as it did with my other thick conditioner. After 3 minutes though, it still didn't feel quite as smooth as with my other conditioner but I thought it had been in for a while now so I'll wash it out anyway.

I've concluded that this conditioner, whilst lovely smelling and keeping my blonde shade vibrant and fresh looking, doesn't quite moisturise the hair that well and I need to use another conditioner on top or an intensive mask for the hair. It's good for the colour but my hair is still too dry to use just this as my main conditioner.

Summary: this might be excellent for natural blondes but bleached hair might need something extra
