I loved the smell of this conditioner - perfect in a morning shower before work!
I found the shampoo more effective than the shampoo to be fair, and would recommend this conditioner.
My hair is dark blonde, and is regularly highlighted, and as such needs a lot of on-going conditioning treatment, and I have used this conditioner about once a week along with the shampoo to 'rid' my hair and scalp of any residue left from modern products and to re-balance, and have found this to be effective.
I would recommend this product for people with oily/greasy hair who want to add some shine/sleek to their hair without the 'weight' of modern traditional conditioning products - be it wash out conditioners or leave in one's. (Posted on 12/7/11)

Lovely smell and leaves hair soft. Ethical and no nasties.

However, maybe a bit too soft for my fine hair, though I am sparing with it. Since starting to use it, I find myself frequently scratching the back of my head, just about the nape of my neck. Not too bad but something I don't usually do.

REPLY from Amanda: For those unaware yhe expression "a curate's egg" originally meant something that is partly good and partly bad, but as a result is entirely spoiled. Modern usage has tended to change this to mean something having a mix of good and bad qualities.

Of course, because I use and test everything we sell and unless I am happy will not stock any product, I have not experienced the same problems of itching. Occasionally, an individual will be sensitive to some of the ingredients in a products or it could be that you are using just a little bit too much of it for your hair type. If your hair is very fine, you would almost benefit from just using the Holy Basil Scalp Toner. As well as toning the scalp and helping with itching and dryness, it acts as a very very light conditioner too without adding any weight whatsoever to the hair.

It also may just be pure coincidence that you are experiencing itching around the nape of your neck. The last couple of weeks have been exceedingly cold with low humidity - ideal conditions to cause dry, itchy and flaky skin! Please do let me know how you get on and if the itching improves or gets worse?

This must be the best conditioner I've ever used - the smell is wonderful and it makes your hair so soft and shiney! (Posted on 6/16/10)

I have been using this conditioner alternating with the scalp therapy and intensive hair therapy products. It is an amazing combination! I have suffered with dry itchy scalp and flakes through over processing and using harsch chemical based shampoos and conditioners. Within the first usage, my hair has rebalanced and feels and looks gorgeous and healthy. No more embarrasing flakes on my clothes when I wear dark colours, I am totally hooked on these products!

Lovely aroma, light, no-residue. Again, like the shampoo, the bottle size seems to be shrinking, but not the price! I love these products, but they're not such good value for money as they used to be. Really effective, hair smells & looks great, keeps well, just expensive

REPLY from Amanda: Hi Helen - I really appreciate your comments and do understand your concerns regarding price. I wish we could reduce the prices, but they are such high quality products that the cost to manufacture them is more. Please note that the prices were reduced when the smaller sized bottles were introduced so overall the prices have not gone up. Maybe its worth buying a couple at a time to save on postage as we do not increase the postage costs depending on weight, for our UK customers. (Posted on 4/3/10)
