Count Me Impressed
Hair Type: Straight but with lots of natural volumeHair Style: Undercut w/ long top --> ShortHair Dyed: Yes, have had reds, blues, and purples during this time (Overtone, saturated not light)Reason for purchase: Natural oils would make my hair slick, thinner, and grossSimplified review: Amazing conditioner, love how fluffy my hair gets, doesn't strip color, downsides are the strong cucumber smell if you don't like it and that it gets difficult to force out after the first bit of use, but as far as conditioners go I can deal with that for the result!-I know my hair has volume from hairdressers commenting on it, but while friends of mine could go days, even weeks without properly washing their hair, if I missed a day my hair would clump together with how slick it was, and it wasn't much better even if I was on a regular schedule. So, looked up a conditioner to deal with it, found this.My impression? Like the headline says, count me impressed!-Pros:- Long-Lasting: Couple months' worthI got the 33.8 Fl Oz size back in late April, it is now early August, and I still have not hit the end of the bottle (getting there, I think it'll last at least the majority of the month). Unlike what's recommended, I do not skimp on conditioner with the "only use a dime" amounts - the conditioner's ingredients seem to end up with a thick density, even the classic "dilute with water to make it last longer" trick doesn't affect the consistency much.- Result: I never knew my hair could be so fluffy!!I got it to deal with the excess oils, and it does just that. It worked off the first wash, where the longer hair on top of my head was able to fluff out and show its volume significantly more. With the volume of my hair, I love the undercut because it is less to deal with, but can still fake a full head of hair, but when my hair is all oily it becomes a lot more difficult. This brought it back to full strength! Since I started on this, I ended up cutting my hair short to resize the undercut, and it works amazingly for the short hair too! My hair fluffs up, styles itself nicely, and is incredibly low maintenance outside of regular washes.- Hair dye: Doesn't strip colors!This was my biggest concern when looking for an oil-stripping conditioner, I was practically expecting that oil- and color-stripping would go hand-in-hand. Not the case here! While it is normal to lose color over time, no sign of the conditioner affecting the process in the slightest. Color lose is comparable to other conditioners where color longevity is a focus, but secondary to general product quality (I cannot compare well to conditioners aimed specifically at increasing color longevity).-Cons:- Smell: Strong, crisp smellI have lower-level sensory issues, so I know something like this can turn people away. The first time or two of using it was a bit stressful on the senses, it is a very strong and semi-overwhelming smell, can cause eye-watering. For some reason, I thought the smell was cucumber, just now realizing it is listed as mint, and the sensory effects match what I have encountered for other strong, pure mint smells.But! It does get better over time. After the first few times of use, I got used to it, and I actually like the smell because it gives me a very "clean" feel with how crisp mint smells.If you cannot stand mint, the smell will be a problem for you. Otherwise, I recommend giving it a chance at a week's worth of regular washes, see if you can get used to it.- Thick density: Difficult to get outFor how nice the consistency of the conditioner is for being long-lasting, the downside is that this comes with a disc top cap. This requires squeezing the bottle to get it to come out, and with the density of the conditioner, it requires a lot of pressure to get it out, and blocks access to air coming in to refill the bottle and help the process. This is more annoying than anything, but like mentioned above, it maintains a good consistency even when water is added, but diluted mix can be a little easier to get out.To be clear, I do not think the mixture should be diluted at production, this is for other consumers to consider.For the makers, I recommend adding a pump dispenser. For consumers, while extra money, you can buy pump caps for this.-Pros vs Cons: Pros far outweigh cons!Both of the cons listed are mild, momentary nuisances. The pros? I am happier with my hair, it feels cleaner and fluffier than before, even the effects of the summer heat are limited. Highly recommend, I even suggest it to friends, amazing product.That said, given the cons, I think the makers could make a good product better by:- Removing the smell AND/OR adding multiple smell options (I would be thrilled to have this in lavender, rose, or some other floral smell!)- Adding a pump cap (or other cap that makes it easier to dispense this density of conditioner without changing the consistency)-Highly recommend, does amazing work on my hair, great product!

Great conditioner for dandruff!
This stuff seems to work really great. I don't have pictures of before since my dandruff didn't show too well. However, I used to get bumps and pimples on my head, which I've heard can happen when oils are trapped and not getting cleaned (i use hair product for curly hair, and go two days without washing, because otherwise my hair gets very dry and does not look good at all). Anyway, I've been using this and the shampoo for a couple weeks and have already noticed a huge improvement.I've used Biolage for many years before I switched to my most recent shampoo a few years ago. However, I've switched back to using this a couple times a week and it's been great. It does not smell rancid like some other dandruff shampoos at all. It smells nice. And, it works wonders!!I am excited to see how my head continues to get better. Already, the bumps and things that I can pick at are gone, my head feels much better, and there does't seem to really be any build up like there was before. I'd highly recommend this along with the dandruff shampoo!Edit: I've now used this for several months, and I must say that I have noticed a dramatic improvement from where i was when I first noticed this. My scalp is nowhere near as itchy as it used to be, and I have seen a very large decrease of the amount of dandruff I see as well. It's nice not always feeling itchy and dry on my scalp. it also doesn't seem to have made my hair color fade either, which was a concern (since you don't want to pay a fortune for a good cut and color only to literally wash it down the drain). So, I would still highly recommend this conditioner (and the wash that goes with it) as they have been doing wonders for me!

Healthy scalp!
We started using this product on my daughter’s hair in hopes that it would help her dry scalp. She was getting bad dandruff which caused her scalp to itch like crazy. Super happy we tried this product. It has helped tremendously. Her scalp is clear and her hair is so soft and shiny. We will definitely be sticking with this product.

Smells heavenly and helps with the 'ruff
I love using this shampoo so much I make it part of my wash cycle every few days. It is so powerful and smells so wonderful! The visible shine that the formula gives to my hair is perfect, and my scalp doesn't feel oily!

Relaxing for headaches!
I get headaches and migraines alot and I'm always looking for products to help ease the pain. I bought the shampoo and conditioner for the cooling effect that it leaves on my head, thus easing the headache pain. The smell is light and not overpowering so it has no effect on my headache. Thanks for a great product and headache relief!!

The best product I’ve tried in years
so idk what’s wrong with my hair (maybe dermatitis) but whenever I’d get out of the shower, my hair would still be oily and gross-looking on the bottoms and if I didn’t wash it for one whole day it looked even worse everywhere. Well after using this shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels alive again. It looks so clean and healthy and actually made me feel so happy to go out again. It’s soft, clean, the smell is great, and It feels like my hair just got a reset. So pleased I tried this and hoping it stays this pretty

Works wonders
This product has been a lifesaver after one use. I’ve had issues with dandruff and couldn’t find anything to really work. This stuff used with the shampoo keeps my scalp clear of dandruff and the smell is amazing. Love the cooling sensation it leaves after a good wash.
