To save money, I picked this up for .89 cents instead of my normal Pantene conditioner. Wow, this was surprisingly good as others have stated in their reviews. The scent is great, not too sweet, and it defrizzes my curls and adds a little volume. Good at detangling, though I slightly still prefer Pantene Restoratives for that, but the price cannot be beat. Recommended for girls with curly hair.

I don't like overly perfumy or room-freshenery or candylike scents in my conditioners, and this is a nice change of pace from my usual VO5 Extra Volume. It does have a somewhat fruity berryish scent but it's not too sweet or dessertlike and it's tempered with some muskiness. It's no Mure et Musc, but at least the two wouldn't clash too terribly. And the scent is gone when my hair is dry.


I have fine fragile hair and the way I use this conditioner, as any of the cheap conditioners I use, is to mix it 4 parts conditioner to 1 part each honey and pure aloe gel. This produces a conditioner that works better than very expensive ones. I use it for slip when I rinse out henna, for deep-conditioning, for occasional CO washes and as a regular conditioner after my Chagrin Valley shampoo bars (which really don't *need* conditioner but I like the extra super soft shine).

This stuff is great! Adds a perfect amount of slip for your brush to glide through any tangles. Smells so nice, too! I like the thin consistency as it's easier to spread through the hair quickly, and it coats each hair.

I loved the smell of this but it left my hair feeling heavy and oily. For the price, you can't beat it though and it was worth a try based on all of the positive reviews.

This works fine but I don't think it's any more remarkable that any other conditioner. Gets the job done, but nothing to rave about.

I remember when V05 was crap. Not anymore! This stuff detangles like nobody's business. I grabbed it in the shower after a particularly ugly bleaching episode and it melted the horrible mess into something combable. Wow! It's not smoothing and does nothing for frizz so I usually have to follow up with something heavier but for detangling, it is the bees knees. I keep a few different bottles in a few different scents just for that. And it's so cheap!

This conditioner works great to detangle my hair and make it really smooth. Smells nice and for only a dollar, it's a great deal.

V05 products are great for detangling, hydrating, and co-washing curly hair. They are also good for long term use. They won't dry out or damage your hair like Pantene, and it still prepares your hair for heat styling. I have been using for years and always keep different types in my rotation. I still think when using this conditioner you should follow up with a richer, more intense treatment (e.g. hot olive oil, coconut oil, kenra, biologe, aubrey organics, etc.) but this is great to always have on hand. Even without the price tag I of 70cent I would buy it.

I won't go too much into detail about this because I have written reviews for several other Vo5/Suave conditioners, and they have all been just about the same. I use these for co-washing. I shampoo 1-2x a week and co-wash just about everyday in between. If I don't co wash, my hair gets frizzy and the ends and stinky at to roots. I was using Suave as my cowash, thinking that thick was better. Turns out the fact that this is liquidy makes it much easier to get into the roots and work up a 'lather.' And it does kind of froth up when you work at it for a few minuets. It detangles my hair and gives it light hydration. I am very impressed with Vo5! This one smells good, too! It's a unique combination because it's a berry, but its not a very sweet scent. The vanilla mint tea is still my favorite, and my SO loves it when I use the strawberry one (he likes that it makes me smell like a delicious milkshake) but so far they are great!

Very good conditioner! It is runny, but it works well with detangling my long, fine hair. :)

This smells SO good! Very sweet, berry scent though it doesn't last too long.
As the case with the shampoo, I used this after considering the ingredients in it. I'm somewhat allergic to dimethicone and other heavy 'moisturizing' agents, so this was a good choice. It's runny, but it does a fine job at getting tangles out of my long hair without making it shed. I lost less hair in the shower using this than with anything else. My hair is very soft and manageable even after drying it! Yay!
Also noteworthy is the awfully cheap price. I got it at Kroger for like, $1 or so. Sometimes its on sale 10 for $10! Much more practical option than paying for 8oz of $40-50 bumble and bumble shampoo+conditioner.

I don't think I would like this so much after shampoo, but I don't shampoo, so I guess it doesn't matter. It makes a great cowash! It's light, smells delicious and makes my hair/scalp feel clean and not weighed down. It's not the most hydrating conditioner in the world, but it's enough for me. To be honest, I've tried lots of expensive products, but I honestly think I get the best results cowashing with Vo5 conditioners. I have and will continue to repurchase.

I never used to buy "cheap" conditioners for my color treated hair, mainly because I expected less than stellar results. After considering CO washing and not really liking it, I had some left over products that were just going to waste. I decided to try this as a rinse out instead of using it to CO wash, and it made my hair so soft and shiny! I never got this kind of result with higher-end brands. I also used to overload my hair with proteins, and this has brought back the softness and made my hair less brittle. It say's it gives hair "volume and bounce", and "energizes limp locks" and it does exactly this. Will buy again.

One of the best-smelling conditioners I've ever had, and the smell stays lightly on my hair when it dries. Lovely. And of course the price is crazy low. As for conditioning, it's a creamy but light conditioner that leaves my hair soft. When I used this every day, my fine hair started to get a bit weighed down, so now I use it and other V05 conditioners every other day or so.

I love this conditioner for my thick density, wavy, 2a/2b hair. The condtioner is light weight but moisturizing. I think it would be great for girls who CO wash. It has no cones or proteins. I love the scent and would love to find a perfume that smells like this. I even use this as a deep conditioning treatment with stuff added in. I take 1/4 cup of this conditioner and add 1 T aloe vera gel,1 T honey, 4 drops safflower oil and 4 drops argan oil and leave in for 20-30 min.

I normally don't buy stuff this cheap for my hair, but I am so glad I did. I have naturally curly, dry hair, so I only shampoo every other day, but condition every day. I also leave my conditioner in my hair every day, I just squeeze the extra water out and then leave it in to style since my hair is so dry. So I bought this conditioner trying to save a little money and wow I'm so glad I did. My hair looks so pretty when I use this. Its like a guaranteed good hair day when I condition with this! It leaves my curls extra curly and I still have nice volume and it lasts all day! You should absolutely try this, you won't be disappointed!!!

This smells amazing and works brilliant as a leave-in for me. There is no frizz and my hair doesn't lose any volume. My hair doesn't feel like it has any residue and it makes it nice and soft which is a plus. If you have curly hair or dry hair, try styling with these. I notice a big difference in the amount of moisture my hair holds.
