As I couldn’t find it, I opted for this aloe vera conditioner. Aloe vera is such a magical plant that works wonder for skin and hair. I have normal wavy hair and right now its dandruff free. So, without much thoughts I picked this conditioner. Scroll further to know my experience on this conditioner.

My Take on the Product:

The conditioner comes in a simple white sleek bottle with a press button on the cap. Personally I feel the press button is better than the flip cap as flip cap might break easily or chip your nails. The conditioner is white coloured with a glossy finish. Though the bottle is strong, I doubt it would be difficult to carry during travel. The conditioner comes in standard size, I have not seen small or big bottle online.

The consistency is not very thick neither runny. I quite like it and its easier to spread on hair. I mainly focus on the lower end of hair as your root and hair near scalp doesn’t need conditioning.

After leaving it for couple of minutes, I washed it and to my surprise it was easier to rinse it off. Unlike Dove conditioners where you need tons of water to get rid of the product, this is easy to wash away. After towel drying I didn’t use any product to check the quality of my conditioner. My hair was much smoother and tangle free. The conditioner smell lingers on my hair for a day.This product very well serves the purpose of using a conditioner. Overall its a nice conditioner and I would stick to this for a longer time.

Why I like this Conditioner?:

  • Makes hair smooth
  • Pleasant fragrance
  • Goodness of aloe vera and vitamin E
  • Fabindia is against animal testing
  • Easy to rinse it off
  • Packaging is sturdy
  • Doesn’t weigh down my hair
  • Didn’t give me any hairfall

 

Why I don’t like this Conditioner?:

  • Does not add bounce
  • Bit pricey when compared to Dove, Garnier and Tresseme

 

MABH Rating: 4.1/5

 

So Do I Suggest?:

I do recommend this to all.This is not a magical product but this is surely a decent conditioner for everyday use.

 

Will I Repurchase?:

Yes yes yes..!!

Avon Advanced Techniques Straight and Sleek Conditioner Review

by Adi

Hello pretty ladies! I am here with a review for a conditioner today, one of my favorite ones at that. This is the Straight and Sleek Conditioner from Avon’s ‘Advanced Techniques’ range. They have many different shampoos and conditioners in this range for different needs but since I don’t like to experiment much with my shampoos, I decided to try out this particular conditioner. So let’s see how this product fared for me :)

Price and quantity:

Rs 199 for 200 ml, available on discount quite often though. I think I got mine for Rs 139.

Shelf life: 3 years

My Take on the Avon Advanced Techniques Straight and Sleek Conditioner:

The conditioner comes in a sleek grey opaque plastic packaging with a flip-open cap, the mouth facing downwards which would make life easier when it starts to finish. The consistency of the conditioner is a bit thick, just like other conditioners and there is nothing particularly distinctive about the fragrance either, though it is quite pleasant.

What makes this different is that the this conditioner does everything it claims to do  – it makes the hair smooth and shiny, it minimizes split ends and frizz and above all – it makes your hair look straighter. Sure, your hair won’t look like it has been straightened or rebounded, but it does look considerably less wavy.

My recommendation is that you should use this conditioner according to what your hair type is and the result you would like to see. If you have relatively straight hair already, then you have two options: either apply the conditioner to just the ends of your hair (the tips) to smooth them out and minimize appearance of split ends. Or, you can apply it on the entire length of your hair to get that ‘straight and sleek’ look. I have straight hair naturally and when I apply this on practically the whole length of my hair, my hair looks a lot straighter – which is great for those sophisticated, sleek looks that you require for some outfits.

If you have frizzy hair, then too this is a great option because it tames frizz to quite an extent. In this case, you should definitely use it on at least the lower half length of your hair if not the entire length or wherever your hair tends to get frizzy like the ends of layers if you have a step/layered haircut. As with any other conditioner, try to not let this get on the roots because conditioners tend to weigh down your hair a bit and reduce volume.

What I like about this Conditioner?

  • Very reasonably priced for the quantity provided
  • Lives up to its claims
  • Convenient packaging
  • Does not take extraordinary effort to rinse off completely
  • Leaves hair soft, smooth and shiny
  • Reduces frizz
  • Pleasant fragrance

What I don’t like about this Conditioner?

  • Well if I have to be really picky I’d say that I wish it wasn’t available only through agents :(

MABH Rating: 5/5

Final word: 

This is a great conditioner and it lives up to its claims. Moreover, for the price it is quite a steal as it’ll last you quite a while. I think girls with slightly frizzy hair especially will love this. It is definitely worth a try.


Will I Repurchase?: Absolutely!

Tresemme Smooth and Shine Conditioner Review

Hello ladies,

Today I shall be reviewing the conditioner from the Tresemme range of the same variant as the Tresemme Smooth and Shine Shampoo that I had previously reviewed on MABH. It was all the hype about the brand that made me buy this conditioner even though I was pretty happy with the L’Oreal Conditioner reviewed previously by me. Read on to find out if this too was a dud for me like the shampoo was.

Price & Quantity: 

Rs 64. The quantity is 100 ml.


Key Ingredients: 

Sorry all, I am putting a picture here. It is a torture to my eyes to read and type it. They are really tiny.

My Take:

This conditioner too is in a white plastic bottle with pink print on it. Like I mentioned previously I am not a fan of its opening. This makes an even more mess as it is thicker than the shampoo. Check the picture to see for yourself!

The color is white as you can see from the swatch. The fragrance is very conditioner like. Nothing to like or dislike about. The texture too is like any other conditioner.

All the hype about the brand made me purchase products from this brand. The shampoo was a big fail with me but I must say that the conditioner was pretty alright. Even though it did not give me fantastic results, it did what any ordinary conditioner would do. It made the hair tangle free after shampoo and was soft to touch for ‘only’ a couple of hours after shampoo. However, the softness and smoothness does ‘not’ linger on and once again hair is a dry, rough, frizzy mess!!!! It does not live up to its claims. I am a disappointed customer as far as Tresemme brand is concerned and I am highly skeptical about its entire range of products.

Why I like this?:

  • Availability.
  • Not pricey.
  • Travel friendly.
  • Kinda does its job.

Why I don’t like?:

  • It does not live up to its claims.
  • Over hyped product!!
  • It does nothing for dry rough hair.
  • Messy packaging.
  • Not a happy customer.

Rating: 1/5

Do I Recommend?:

NO WAY!!!

Would I Repurchase?:

Nope! Never.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Conditioner Review

Tresemme is a widely known brand abroad and now it has ventured into the Indian market with their new hair care range. Well I had used two of their Shampoos before and wanted to try the new one as soon as it came to stores. But to my amazement it became OOS on the online sites and my local shop was unable to get hold of it so I picked it up from Spencer’s in Kolkata.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 80 for 100 ml

 

Ingredients:

My Take:

The conditioner comes in a bottle which looks similar to the normal TRESemme shampoo bottles. The bottle is white in color with a red cap. I love the way TRESemme products have a press open top. The white bottle surely helps to differentiate it from the shampoo.

I used this both with my TRESemme smooth shine shampoo and TRESemme Keratin Smooth shampoo. Both times I have loved the effect. I naturally have an oily scalp which turns oily within 2 days. But on first use I saw this kept my hair and scalp oil free for 3 days.

I have manageable hair but it tends to become rough with daily wear and tear. But this made it looking smooth and manageable and on the straighter claim I feel it turned my hair a bit straight for the first day but it turned into wavy (natural) hair the next day. This may be caused by the fact that I have waist length hair and I do it into a braid before I sleep. But it did keep my hair smooth and silky till I washed it.

PROS:

  • Affordable
  • You need moderate amount for application. I have waist length hair so I need a bit more product but on normal length shoulder length hair it will last more time.
  • Easy to apply and wash
  • Keeps hair smooth and manageable for 2-3 days
  • Is light and does not weight hair down
  • Will not make hair greasy

CONS :

  • Availability online is limited and local stores here are totally unaware of the new launch :(

So Will I Repurchase?:

Yes I will. I found this quite good for my hair. And though I do not recommend this to get straight hair this is good as a regular conditioner.
