Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Smell, leaves hair greasy

Now, I'm not someone who cares a lot about their hair or the way it looks. I'm often leaving the house for school with a hair in a mess. I do like to use conditioner, however, when I'm washing it. I have absolutely no say in what shampoo or conditioner is bought in my house (I still live with my mum, being only 16, so she does all the shopping), so I just use whatever is there. Occassionally I'll see the bottle of VO5 or Herbal Essences, or if I'm very lucky, a man's shampoo, but more often than not it's the Tesco range that ends up on my head.

My mum's favourite seems to be coconut, for reasons beyond my knowledge. The conditioner leaves my hair greasy and the smell is awful. It does smell of coconuts -ones which have went off! It feels and looks like normal conditioner, but don't let that fool you - it is nothing like, for example, Herbal Essences. The shampoo is bearable so why can't the conditioner be?
I mentioned that I don't care what my hair looks like, but I don't like it looking greasy, which this conditioner never fails to do! It just makes you look dirty. I've stopped using the conditioner and am just sticking to the shampoo just now. The apple scented Tesco conditioner is the same price and I've found it is just like a more expensive conditioner and smells much better. It doesn't leave hair greasy so it must be something in the coconut scent (which is something Tesco should be able to overcome). Why can't the coconut one be the same? Sure it's cheap, but does that matter when it doesn't do the job, especially when the apple variant is as good.

My mum doesn't make much money so she has to go with the cheap products most of the time (unless the good stuff is on sale), so I suppose there's not much I can do, but I recommend anyone else to spend just a little extra and get the more professional shampoos and conditioners, or if you just can't afford them go for Tesco's apple scented shampoos and conditioners. Avoid the coconut conditioner whenever possible.

Summary: Not worth it.
