This is the product my hair has been longing for, quite literally it has changed my relationship with my hair.
I have rather brittle, very dry, mouse to blonde hair which used to tangle instantly and that had a constant birds nest at the nape if I left it down for more than a minute. Every morning and evening there I'd be with my comb carefully separating the tangles.
Now I only have to comb once a day, even if I left my hair down and it takes two minutes not half an hour. My hair is actually soft and sometimes even shiny! This is a revelation for me.
The product is supposed to be used weekly but as I only wash my hair once a week it's all I use. I use about a tablespoon on my mid back length hair and that covers every strand from root to tip. After a couple of minutes I rinse and it feels like I'm just rinsing out the tangles. Seriously for dry, brittle, damaged hair I think this is fantastic. Not sure what it would be like for those of us who have shiny healthy hair already but if you have the same problems as me I would recommend trying it unreservedly (also it smells really good).
After such a glowing report there naturally have to be some negatives. The main one is the price. Although I only go through a small bottle every three months that is still £6/month, and I'm aware most people wash their hair more often than I do. The bigger bottle lasts about a year and so is much better value £3.05/month but if you're trying it for the first time your not going to want to invest £36!
Also I'm not entirely convinced by all the ingredients:
water, extracts: sea buckthorne, alfalfa leaf powder, linseed oil, cetearyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, stearalkonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride, phenyl trimethicone, quaternium-80, glycerine, stearyl alcohol, castor seed oil, jojoba seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, sea buckthorne oil, fusanus spicatus wood oil, olive fruit oil, quinoa seed extract, barley extract, phellodendron amurense bark extract, tocopherol, babassuamidopropyltrimonium, methosulfate, dimethiconol meadowfoamate, hydroxyethylcellulose, polyquatemium-10, fragrance, Limonene, linalool, citronellol, citric acid, sodium cluconate, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone
However this is still the product I would recommend above all others, whenever I try another conditioner I come scurrying back to this one - hence I have a cupboard full of nearly full conditioners that I know I will never use.
