Hair Product Review - Aubrey Organics HoneySuckle Rose Conditioner

Posted Jul 5th 2008 8:57PM by Gennifer Miller

Product: Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing Conditioner
Price: around $ 8-9 for 11 fl. oz.
Company: Aubrey Organics

Promises (from the bottle):

'Trade those dry, thirsty tresses for vibrant, touchably soft hair with this moisture-intensive conditioner. Restorative herbal emollients detangle and rehydrate to leave hair ultra-silky and irresistibly fragrant. Also recommended for bleached or highlighted hair'.

Instructions:

Shake well before using. After shampooing, apply to damp hair and work through, concentrating on the ends. Leave on for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse. For deep conditioning: Apply to dry hair and distribute from scalp to ends. Leave on for 15 minutes, then shampoo and condition hair as usual.Ingredients:

Coconut fatty acid cream base, organic aloe vera, organic shea butter, wheat germ oil, organic jojoba oil, organic Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil; extracts of fennel, hops, balm Mint, misltletoe, camomile, yarrow, chrysanthenum, angelica, forsythia and magnolia; honeysuckle oil, carrot oil, Aubrey's Preservative (citrus seed extract, vitamins A, C and E).

Consistency/Scent:

The conditioner is a pearly white. It has a very emollient consistency- like a very thick lotion. It smells great, like honeysuckle and rose, lol.

Results:

I washed with Keracare Dry and Itchy Scalp Shampoo twice. I applied a little conditioner to the roots and let sit as I finished showering. I rinsed and blotted hair dry with my towel. I applied the conditioner in sections, covered with a plastic cap and sat under the dryer for 20 minutes.

When I rinsed my hair felt incredibly silky. It detangled nicely and smelled fantastic. I set my hair on plastic rollers and sat under the dryer for 90 minutes. I removed the rollers, blew out my roots and did a saran wrap treatment. My hair was super moisturized and soft.

Positive:

This conditioner is made with natural ingredients. It's a nice and thick for those who like very emollient conditioners. It made my hair feel soft and detangle pretty easily. When my hair dried, it still felt soft and moisturized.

Negative:

For some, this conditioner might be a bit heavy. My hair felt great but had a slight coating and seemed... kinda heavy. However, I could have used too much product or deep conditioning on wet hair as opposed to dry hair (as per the instructions).

This is also pretty much a strictly moisturizing conditioner so it is good to alternate this with a nice protein conditioner.

Overall:

I really like this conditioner. My hair felt moisturized and soft and smelled great! Perfect for ladies with dry hair or are looking for a nice, thick moisturizing deep conditioner.

It's also made from natural ingredients, which seemed to make it penetrate a lot deeper than other conditioners.

This product can be found at most vitamin shops or health food stores. I bought it at Whole Foodsâ˜ș
