My hair gets so dry from all the straightening and blow drying. I'm not very nice to my hair so it does get inundated with split ends and dry frizzy bits. It's all my own fault, but every now and then I panic and decide I need a quick fix to do something about it.

I saw this reduced to £3 in a bits and bobs shop near me. I bought it and decided to give it a go as a conditioner. I washed my hair and used my usual shampoo. I squeezed some water out of my hair so that it was just damp. I put a dollop of this on my hand and rubbed it into my hair, all over, but paying special attention to my ends rather than the roots so that my hair wouldn't go greasy too much sooner than usual.

The conditioner had a very salon like smell, which immediately made me feel it was going to do something really nice to my hair (which is actually very silly, and just a subconscious unrealistic expectation). The conditioner was soft and creamy, it coated my hair easily and nicely. I left it on for about five minutes (although it may have been a shorter length of time, I do get quite impatient). It felt quite hard to wash off, but that was because it coated my hair and made it so soft that it felt like the layer of conditioner wasn't coming off.

Once dry my hair felt so soft and silky. It did get greasy much quicker, so I am not sure if it actually did some deep down goodness to my hair or just left a coat on it.

I don't mind my hair being heavy as it weighs down my frizz and helps tame my waves, but if you do not want heavy hair I would avoid this conditioner.

This had some nice short term effects, but I am not so sure about the long term effects.
