This conditioner is unlike any other I've ever tried before. Made for hydrating and protecting the color in your hair, it truly conditions and softens to give you that feeling like you were just at the salon. I've tried the usual store brand conditioners for years, but when I rinse them out in the shower, it never really felt like I had any conditioner in the first place. With just a drop of this Pureology conditioner (and I mean a drop, I have very thick hair and this doesn't require a lot) you run it through your hair and it seems to just melt into it. After rinsing, you can honestly tell the difference. It has a nice minty smell and leaves your hair silky smooth. It also seems to help with however you style your hair; whether you want to straighten it or curl it, it holds and looks beautiful. I don't think I could ever switch to another brand of conditioner after using this.
