I went to the beauty supply store the other day and saw this new line of Nexxus products. The owner said they were very good products. I am a fan of Nexxus' Humectress so I thought I'd give it a go.
When I was ready to use the conditioner, I knew it was probably not going to be the greatest thing for my hair because there was a "Certified Aromatherapy" product sticker on the cap. (The bottle sits with the cap upside down.) I was leery because normally a product is going to concentrate on scent or actual conditioning, not both. Anyways, I was in a hurry when I was at the store and the only thing I really read was "...leaving the hair in exceptional health."
Oh well... This product does some detangling and has a strong scent to it. Scent is really a personal thing. You may like it. You may not. It says that the aromatherapy essential oils used are Grapefruit, Orange and Guaiacwood. Don't ask me. I have no idea what Guaiacwood is. Personally, it smells okay but is a bit overpowering.
As for actual conditioning, this product does none. It left my hair feeling dry and it felt like I may have used a detangler but not an actual conditioner. I need to use a heavy-duty conditioner as my ends are really dry.
All in all, I found that this product is not for me. Perhaps somebody out there will have better luck.
