Great silku soft hair with first wash but not for long term use on high maintenance long hair. 

I've used these products together for a couple of days now -- I like to air dry my hair after showering and for some reason I felt like my hair took a lot longer to dry, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I thought perhaps this meant that my hair would just be super hydrated, but I found that when my hair did dry it felt feathery and a little frizzy. In saying this, my hair definitely felt like it had more volume, and after straightening it, it was sleek and clean, and it smells amazing. The conditioner didn't give me that ultra silky (and slimy) feeling that I usually want, but I must say that my hair does stay cleaner for longer, and I have been asked a couple of times already if I've recently been to the hairdresser! I would use this product again but probably only for those days where I need to keep my hair as clean as possible for as long as possible, as that has been the biggest plus. I first thought this product would be found at a drugstore for about R60-R80, but because my hair smells like the treatments that my hair salon uses, and the fact that on the conditioner bottle the directions say to towel dry your hair before applying the conditioner makes me think its a salon product because most conditioners just advice to lather into wet hair after shampooing! I guess we will see!

This is a really exciting product as it really is a blind test - which means feedback will be really unbiased. I have a feeling that this product is an off the shelf range from the likes of Clicks and Dischem and the only reason I say this is because of the scent and the colouring. In my experience I find that the basic brands (which I'm not hating on, as I use them myself) tend to give instructions like 'wash and repeat' and normally have a more pearlescent colouring and 'sweet/fruitier' scent. The one thing I look for in a conditioner is the thickness of the conditioner - as my hair needs something thick and creamy. The conditioner here isn't that thick but it really makes my hair manageable and I love how it feels when it dries - really soft and tame. The one thing I have found is my hair seems greasier, quicker - which may be due to the shea butter ingredients - or the fact that it's mid Summer and swelteringly hot :) I'm excited to find out who the brand is - but i stay true to my prediction that it's a budget range product. Even so, awesome feeling and scent and I'm thoroughly enjoying using it. * Impossible to rate price due to not knowing the price point of the product. Have therefore left it at a zero
