Left my super long, dry, untreated hair a knotted sticky matte mess. Smells like cheap cologne.

Thought I would like this because I thought I liked the Finesse brand, but unfortunately their products really have done nothing but dry out my already dry hair and cause lots of breakage! It just took a bit of a while for me to figure it out....Glad I used this up and don't feel guilty for wasting anything, but man, what a disappoinment!

Works really well for my hair. Not a huge fan of the smell, but it doesn't bother me. Will repurchase.

I was so surprised with this product! Just a brief story about my past haircare experiences, I've been dyeing my hair at least three times a year for the past 9 years, and that doesn't even count all the bleaching and crazy colors and hair extensions that have gone into my hair. Overall I have very healthy and thick hair, but it mainly took a toll just a few months ago when I bleached the underside of my already black hair to put purple in it. I have tried cheapo brands like bioinfusion as well as salon brands like Redken and Biolage. I was in desperate needs of conditioner, and was at the grocery store and decided to pick up a bottle of cheap conditioner and use it in the meantime before I was able to snag some fancy salon brand conditioner at the salon store with my friend who is a licensed hair dresser. I used this stuff and it works marvelous! I have no idea how! My hair is soft and silky to the touch, and it's been well over a month since I've used my leave-in treatment! This works so much better than several drugstore and salon brands I've tried, and you can get this stuff from the dollar store! I'm definitely going to try their shampoo next!

I bought this on a whim because it was on sale and I was traveling. I am very surprised, I have not used Finesse products for over 10 years. I have thick, TR'd hair with very dry ends and my hair feels very soft and moisturized after using this. I don't mind if conditioners leave behind a slight residue as i find i need it because i have so much natural volume and dryness to my hair. It is rare I repurchase a conditioner, but I would repurchase this.

I think they adjusted the smell. I recall it smelling slightly different. There is this scent that I just can't place. It almost smells like I recall but it makes the conditioner smell a bit off at times.
I air dry my hair and the smell really stays.
Now I don't have dry hair. I have healthy hair with an oily scalp. My hair is fine in texture with a medium thickness.
I use moisture conditioner because I live in CA and my ends can get dry if I don't watch it. As long as I use things with moisture they are fine.
This does slightly weigh down my hair but just enough to not make it poofy which my hair can do as I have a slight wave.
My hair feels soft and silky.

Love this conditioner. I use this after my cleansing shampoo daily and it leaves me with the most beautiful hair, not greasy or weighed down. HG!

PROS: It is good for dry hair. Won't weigh normal to fine hair down too much. Clean, somewhat feminine scent (hard to describe.)


CONS: Not great for very dry hair. Scent is quite strong, but if you like it to begin with, it won't be an issue.


ALTERNATES: For a little more moisturizing, I prefer Weightless Conditioner Detangler by Motions (found in the African American hair section in my Walmart). For a lot more moisture, you can try L'Oreal's Nature's Therapy "Mega Moisture" or "Mega Strength." (The last two can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply.)

I love this conditioner, there is nothing fancy about it, which is fine. I have virgin hair so I don't need too much. This may not be the product if your hair is processed but if not, go for it. It detangles my hair beautifully and it's super shiny afterwards.

This is a great conditioner so why is it so freakin' hard to find??? Works great and smells wonderful but none of the major retailers carry it. I order it from drugstore.com or we have a large local drugstore called Drug Emporium that carries every shampoo ever made but they don't have Finesse in the large size! I want the big one, dangit.

For the wonderful scent alone, yes, I'd buy again! But, it is a light conditioner, nothing too heavy, so it isn't really that great at moisturizing. It's a basic conditioner that works well for me because I have straight, limp, fine hair. This hasn't left my hair and scalp oily looking, like most others have. I also leave it in and my hair smells super! It is a bit drying. Update: Like my review for the matching shampoo, this is TOO drying, for me, after all. Leaves me dry, as if I didn't use any conditioner at all and my hair tangles easily. So, it gets knocked down from a 3 to a 2. LOVE the smell, though!

I'm about to purchase my 2nd bottle of this and that is saying something! I product-hop on hair and makeup stuff but am loyal when I find something I really like. I have long, blond and fine hair and this lets me comb the tangles out quickly without weighing down my hair. And it makes it so shiny and healthy-looking! Glad I found this, and it's affordable at $3.00 for a very large bottle at Big Lots! (Which is good because now my husband and son are using it!)

This is probably one of the best lower price drug store conditioners. It works almost as well as the expensive conditioner from the salons. It detangles well and makes your hair nice and soft. I really love this.

I love this conditioner! I'm so glad it's become easier to find in my area. I used to have to hunt around for it. It's got a great thick consistency that works well on my curly type 3B hair. I bought this in a big pump bottle which makes it even easier to use in the shower. The scent is fresh, clean, and lingers on my hair all day. This is a staple in my hair care routine.

My sister bought a mini shampoo & conditioner travel kit but had no interest in the conditioner and offered it to me. I have plenty of expensive salon brand conditioners but decided to give this a try anyway. So glad I did.

My hair is naturally very curly and tends to be dry and bushy -- it expands and gets even bushier while I'm wahing it. However, after leaving this conditioner on my hair for a few minutes and then rinsing, my hair is sleek and well moisturized. And it also dries smoother than usua,l too I've used it twice now, with the same great results.

Now I'll just have to scout out a regular-sized bottle as my mini is almost finished.

Some of the recent conditioners I've tried are too runny; they don't stay in my hair well while I'm showering. This one is thick and really softens my long coarse hair. The tangles fell right out, too. Great product.

This smells like Ralph Lauren Blue, or rather Ralph Lauren's Blue perfume smells *just like* this conditioner - which is why I love it!!! The main differences in the fragrance are that Blue wears off more quickly than Finesse and Blue has this weird undertone on my skin that's kind of like saliva(eiuwwww!), but Finesse has none of that.


As a conditioner, this performs pretty well. My hair is curly, fine, biracial and naturally prone to frizz. I used this as a rinse out conditioner and then after towel drying, I add a little more in for moisture & hold (a tip from biracialhair.org) and it works well.


I've been trying all kinds of shampoos & conditioners(from Pantene, to Dove, to Garnier Fructis, to Aveda, to Nexxus, to Biolage). I'm beginning to find that they all have their pros and cons. None of them are worth the crazy amounts of $$ that Aveda, Biolage, and Redken want - at least not on my hair. So now I just try out what smells good and some of it works ok, some of it doesn't.


Finesse works well, smells great (it's replaced Pantene as my favorite hair product smell), is inexpensive and easy to find.


I took 1 lippie off because it could be a *tiny* bit more moisturizing, but nothing's perfect. ;-)

Finesse Moisturizing Conditioner is the best value and hardest working product on the mass cosmetics aisle!
