I am a product junkie and am constantly on the hunt for my HG products. Needless to say, I have tried countless brands of S/C (I have about 10 currently at home) and this is one of the only collections I have ever actually run out of. I have tried Aussie, Herbal Essences, Biolage, Redken, Mane 'n Tail, and more, but none hold a candle to this set.
This (and the shampoo) took my damaged hair to an entirely different level. It is now soft, smooth, and bouncy like never before. I honestly can't believe it is so amazing. I bought this and returned Redken's Smooth Down and saved myself $20!
The only con is that I do have to pair it with a stronger conditioner ( I use Age Anti-Aging and Aussie's Moist) because my hair tangles so badly. That, however, is more of a problem with my hair than with the product. Will definitely repurchase.

PROS: Not too drying for my very dry ends, but still doesn't leave my hair limp. To have very dry hair that needs body is tough.
CONS: I'm not in love with the scent, but it's not a bad scent. I just prefer something fruity. This is more unisex.

This is the best shampoo & conditioner line I have ever used! It works better than high ends ones from salons! I have shoulder length hair that tends to be oily at the roots, and dry at the ends from highlights and styling. I bought this combo thinking it would be just another one of many I've tried in the past that failed to meet expectations, but I was blown away! It leaves my hair healthy, and full of body! (Many others on the market works great at conditioning, but weigh it down and leave it lifeless.) Highly recommend!! :) continued >>

My blonde, crappy fine hair is fried. Completely and utterly fried. I try and avoid silicones like the plague, but had to find something so I could get a brush through it. Brilliant. I used the 'poo, the treatment and followed with the conditioner. It was shiny and soft! BRILLIANT!!! Will see how it goes as I continue to use it!

I reviewed the shampoo and love it, and I feel the same about the conditioner! My hair felt bouncy and was soft to the touch all day. The other reviewers were right when they mentioned it's, "full of cones." I practically tripped when going on of the shower the past two days! But doesn't mean I'm gonna stop using this product!

Prefacing my review by saying my hiar likes cones....that said I really like this line especially this conditioner. Scent wise it isn't offensive, actually rather decent. I alternate between this 'dish and another one (Kirkland's moisture). My hair is always better on Frieda days. I have to use a good amount of this conditioner to get full saturation, and I'm not 100% thrilled with how my hair looks airdryed but it is the closest to how I want my hair to look while air drying.....I apparently have unrealistic expectations for how my tresses will look with almost no effort. My hair has a split personality, quite wavy in the under layers up to the crown and then that is sort of straight but somehow still unruly. I often have the lampshade effect, but not on Frieda days. So I do think this stuff has merit, and should be in the rotation. I might try using it everyday and see if the cones eventually work against me...sounds like a plan. I will update when I have a verdict.

I got a sample of this with the matching shampoo. I found they were actually pretty good and not what I expect from drugstore hair products. The scent is pretty and smells more expensive then it is. This left my hair smooth and silky and not weighed down. I think together with the matching shampoo this is pretty good and a good dtrugstore product to choose.

After all the hype I couldn't resist to give this a whirl on my bleached dry hair, it added instant softness no weighing down but I near slipped over in the shower as it has so much dimethicone in it any hair would be masked to feel good.So it's ok for a quick fix as most of the dimethicones will come out next was I guess isn't all bad but at $16.00 a tube I'll stay with Redken.

I use the Full Repair Full Body S&C and am very happy with both. The conditioner is very creamy with a nice scent. It is a light conditioner that moisturizes well but doesn't weigh my hair down or make it greasy. It doesn't provide a lot of volume, but does give a little boost. It does leave my hair a bit frizzy, but nothing that can't be dealt with. continued >>

I love this conditioner ! its insane what it can do for your hair i have really curly hair that can get frizzy but this conditioner really defines my curls and makes them look shiny, most people are saying they didnt like it cuz it didnt help with there spilt end or whatever but if you have split ends i dont think any hair product is gonna make that go away.This stuff is expensive but its worth it !

I just wrote a review for the shampoo in this line, as I have almost used up the bottles. I think the shampoo is the star of this combo.
I have 3b curly hair, that is medium thick, long, dry, frizzy, fragile and prone to breakage. I was hoping this 'poo & 'dish would help keep my hair from breaking so easily. I did not believe it's claims to repair damage (and it didn't). To my disappointment, this didn't do anything more then any other shampoo in terms of keeping breakage from happening. I still see a lot of split ends.
This conditioner is a light weight conditioner, and if the shampoo were like most other, and was more drying, I dont imagine this conditioner would do much for me. However, since the shampoo is mild, this is a nice compliment to it. Although it is light, I have good luck detangling with this. I usually let it sit in my hair for a few minuets while a shower, and when I rinse out I really like the way my hair feels.
The only issue is I dont feel like it is moisturizing enough, and my hair still gets really frizzy and sometimes it still feels really dry and brittle. As I said in my review for the shampoo, when I use this combo, my hair looks better if I blow out/flat iron it, but when I let it air dry it still gets frizzy.
I think this is a good combo, I think it would be best for people who have fine or oily hair and for people who heat style more often.
I felt like this combo worked well for me the first month or so, but now my hair is looking pretty bad and I am ready to move onto something else, but I might buy this again in the future. continued >>

I switch up my shampoo/cond. all the time cause I do believe hair gets used to the same thing. Rarely does a shampoo or conditioner impress me. This one does. I have hair that is fine (but lots of it)..My hair is short (chin length bob) but I do my roots every 2 weeks so I have damaged hair. My hair gets weighed down easily...from anything...conditioner, hairspray, product etc. This conditioner doesn't weigh my hair down..The matching shampoo is the only one I have in my collection that doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped and dry.

Oh, this conditioner has a "feel soft"-feeling all over immediately after I put it on and I love it! It smells great and really leaves my hair, which I dye black (it's waist length) incredibly soft and prevents further damage. I feel it is good for your hair and nourishes it. Absolutely thumbs up!

I love this conditioner! i bleach and dye my hair a lot so my hair gets very damaged and dry so i leave this in for 5-20 minutes and it truly makes my hair softer. the longer you leave it in, the better. you should buy this! i recommend it!

I adore this conditioner! My hair is fine and wavy, and easily damaged. It can be challenging to find conditioners that tame frizz and damaged ends without weighing hair down. This does not diminish my natural volume in any way- despite being "full of 'cones" but makes my hair manageable, soft and healthy looking.
The fragrance is a welcome change from the mass market trends being slightly floriental in character.

I use this conditioner as a 5-minute treatment in the shower.
PROS:
- makes my hair feel silky smooth
- makes my hair manageable
- it doesn't weigh my hair down at all
- it is often on offer and therefore quite affordable
CONS:
- I need to use quite a lot, because the consistency is thicker than that of my other conditioner
- full of cones: I know that's what makes my hair feel so smooth, but stil...
- not sure it actually repairs anything
- doesn't really give my hair more body
VERDICT:
I did repurchase this a couple of times and I do like it. But as I'm completely satisfied with my other conditioner, which is also cheaper, I'll just use that from now on. As for a treatment - I'm sure I can find a better one with less cones in it.

My hair doesn't usually like John Frieda products, but I will try new ones on occasion because I find them on sale. I have very thick, wavy/ curly hair with some frizz and it's especially dry during the summer. I use everything from top of the line products to very cheap, so I have a lot to compare this too. I was not expecting to like it, but I was won over by the packaging and I it was on sale for about $3 so I didn't feel like I could lose. As the other reviewers have said, you have to use A LOT, but I think it's because your hair is absorbing it. My hair felt ok when I rinsed it, but when I blew it out with my usual arsenal of styling products, it looked amazing. It was bouncy & shiny - the best my hair has looked in a long time. Overall a good purchase & I'm on my second tube. continued >>
