My Thoughts:

Appearance

This is a thick, white, silky-looking conditioner, with a faint floral smell which is quite pleasant. This conditioner isn't runny and greasy which concerned me at first as I thought it wouldn't provide much slip or make my hair manageable. It comes in a bottle, not a jar, so you are able to squeeze just enough for each use.

Performance

To be frank, when I first used this conditioner as a deep conditioner, I was not impressed. It did nothing for my hair. It sank in pretty well, but my hair kinda just ate it up and was still hungry :-\ One day however, I combined it with a few natural oils and left it in my hair overnight as a pre-poo and boy was I in love the following day. My hair felt soft, moisturized and ready for the wash day. Since then, I have always added oils to this conditioner and used it as a pre-poo and/ or deep conditioner. I have even used it as a daily moisturizer. For my hair, this conditioner works best when combined with other oils, water, humectants, and/ or conditioners. I'd say that it does exactly what it says it does: Deep-condition & protect; soften hair texture, replenishes moisture, and adds a soft, floral scent.

Value

I purchased this product from iHerb.com for $9.29 (I've gotten it for $6.00 before. iHerb discount code: IWU668) . It's a tad bit expensive but it does last me quite some time (maybe because I usually combine it with other products) so I'd say it's worth the buy.

This has been the main conditioner that I have been using to rid myself of dry, protein-overloaded hair and so far so good.

Have you ever tried Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose? What are your thoughts on it?
