I have yet to use a B&B product that has disappointed me. I had originally purchased this to replace the sub-par leave-in I had been using for around 6 months; I had used it for so long because I figured it was getting the job done (or at least, it was dealing with my hair as much as possible).
Man, was I wrong. That's where this B&B comes in - I wanted a change and wasn't completely satisfied with my previous product. Now I finally understand what an actual good leave-in is supposed to do. I've had this for a little over a month now, and it has worked wonders on moisture/protein zapped hair.
First off, let me say that my hair breaks off like crazy. Little pieces fall off everywhere, and my hair is extremely fine and thin to begin with - so that's like hair suicide. Needless to say it is absolutely imperative that I use products that somewhat restore balance to my hair.
I like to use this product primarily as a leave-in, but once a week I use it as a rinse-out after I co-wash (I use BB Creme de Coco as the main conditioner), and that's worked wonders for me. I have long red hair, and I use about a dime sized amount of this on damp hair and it keeps my hair moisturized, weightless, and smooth all day long - results I had never seen with my previous leave-in. The smell is almost non-existant so there's no clash, and it's almost like you can feel the moisture when you hold it in in the palm of your hands.
The price of this doesn't bother me at all - not only because I'm willing to splurge on my hair, but also because you only have to use a really small amount to get results. Like I said, I've been using this for a month and I'm not even halfway through the bottle yet.
Needless to say I will always repurchase, because this is a permanent staple in my hair regime! <3

I love this stuff! It makes a noticeable difference in the softness and silkiness of my hair compared to using no product. I usually put it in my hair after getting out of the shower. Love it.

This is a product I live and die by. I flipping LOVE this stuff. The smell is light, fresh and amazing. It is a light moisture instead of a creamy consistency, so it doesn't leave the hair heavy or greasy. I have literally used this every time I wash my hair for probably 14 years. Recently I ran out and there was a noticeable difference in my hair when I don't use it. Highly recommend!

I don't use this every time I wash my hair, but I like the results when I do. I haven't used a leave in conditioner in so long but in the summer my hair feels more dry and my natural wave tends to frizz. Styling products usually do the trick but I like keeping things more natural in the summer. A nickel sized dollop of this softens my hair and tames the frizz without weighing down my waves. I can let it dry naturally and it looks noticeably better. Plus my fine, long hair is easy to comb. I have a ton of hair that wants to tangle when it's wet so being able to glide a comb through without a struggle makes me want to jump up and down.
It smells nice, that subtle, fresh B&B fragrance I can never place. Reminds me a little of the B&B Gentle Shampoo. Fades as soon as my hair is dry. I'm a huge fan of the consistency, which feels like a cross between a gel and a cream, very light with some slip so it spreads throughout the length of my hair easily. I keep it concentrated on the ends and middle and rub any remainder near the roots. Simple plastic packaging that looks the exact same as the shampoo/conditioner bottles from this line. Travels well and is easy to control the amount dispensed. I'd repurchase this when I run out.

The bad reviews are scaring me cuz I don't want this to ever be discontinued. When my stylist told me my breakage issues stemmed from not using two heat protectants(one on wet hair before I blowdry and one on dry hair I flat iron) I picked up the Bumble and Bumble leave in since she recommended a cream based leave in.
My hair use to be so thin and fragile on top and now it is fuller and healthier. I only use this on wet or dry hair. If you put it on damp or toweled dry hair it will feel gummy. I put it on wet hair then follow with Aquage straightening gel and then blowdry. After my hair has been flat ironed(I use Aquage Beyond Shine as a flat iron heat protectant) I use a little of the leave in to smooth down any fly aways.
I also use this to CO wash before my regular shampoo if I am shampooing, rinsing and repeating- and it works perfect for that.
This has no silicones or protein for those who care about that.

I really like bumble and bumble, but this product is crap. I used it both as as Leave in and a rinse out conditioner after shampooing. I have fine hair which is not that much damaged or dry and easy to nourish. But this product wasn't able to give my hair any kind of benefits. After washing it out ans before blowdrying i usually comb my hair, which is actually not a big problem. But this conditioner left my hair really frizzy so I couldnt comb my hair at all without ripping it of. After blowdrying it left my hair looking really frizzy and unkempt. When I touched it it felt alright but what is the use of it if the hair looks awful.
Used as a leave in I couldn't see any difference.
And I really really hated the smell. When I took the conditioner out of the bottle I initially thought it has turned rancid or something. But it was not, it's just the smell. After rinsing it out the smell is alright, but still. It's kind of really gross.
The product is highly overprized as measured on the nourishing agents and ingredients and for that it's not doing any good. I am really glad I got it cheaper on ebay. I would have been crying by now If I had purchased it at its normal price (22 € = 31 $ !!!)

I feel like I'm one of those people form whom pretty much all Bb products work miracles. My hair is dry with a natural wave/frizz but gets oily at the roots after day 1. So far every Bb product I've tried has worked really well for me, minus the styling lotion. I love the leave in-conditioner. I use it right after blowdrying to get that second-day look without the oily roots. I get some definition and natural wave without stickiness or clumping. And I love the smell!

Inoffensive and ineffective product. I have recently tried some B&B products and nothing is standing out. Overpriced, ineffective and poor (really poor) packaging. i now use it to smooth my hair after I blow dried them. It is only 50ml and it will finish soon. Would not repurchase.

I received a sample of this to use when I bought some other products at Blue Mercury. I always wanted to try B&B products but was a bit weary of the price so I was glad to get this sample.
Um, what? Did I even put anything in my hair?
It's like putting watered down toothpaste in your hair. It smells vaguely minty and goes into my hair easily but doesn't do a darn thing. I hope other B&B products are worth the $$ otherwise people are seriously getting ripped off.
Only reason why it should get 1 lippie is because it didn't cause any damage and I got it for free. But it's worthless to me.
Would not purchase.

I gave this product a middle rating of 3 lippies based on the fact that it didn't dry out or damage my hair. However I will not be repurchasing. Bumble & Bumble Leave IN (Rinse OUT) conditioner left my hair silky after showering...until it dried. Then my hair was left feeling greasy in some places, yet dry & sticky in others. I honestly just think the silicone particles are too big in it to be absorbed by hair follicles. Bottom line is, this wasn't a bad leave in conditioner...it just wasn't worth the price tag. I'm running back to Redken until I find an HG leave in conditioner.

Okay so I wish I saw make up alley's reviews on this before I bough it cuz when I was searching around everywhere said it was great and the whole time ive been using it ive thought "is this just me, or does this stuff suck"
For one, it smells like wax, no delicious scent at all, and it feels like your putting wax in your hair. I thought I got the wrong product because everyone raved about it on some other site. You dont get alot in one bottle for what you pay and since I've been broke I havent had $ to get anything different, so I gotta use this till its gone :/ Gah.
I used to use ABBA when i was younger but since I moved out of my moms house I have tried others and nothing good at all.
If anyone has suggestions for a goood leave in let me know. My hair is thick, curly, frizzy, and probably pretty damamged but doesnt look it cuz I straighten it alot.

Not the greatest. I would have to agree with some of the other users that this stuff is not worth the price. It felt more like a light conditoner on my hair and was not very moisturizing. I mainly used this to reset my curls. I really did very little for any frizz I had. I think you could do better by just using a dallop of any regular hair conditioner than spending over $12 on this stuff.

I know that others here have not had a problem with this conditioner building up on their hair, but I sure did. Every single time I used this conditioner my fine, dry hair would feel gummy and it would look very dull. I was extremely dissappointed with the performance of this product and I have to say that I believe it is very overpriced. I really bought into the Bumble & Bumble hype, but I'm sorry I did. This conditioner wasn't what I wanted it to be or what it was promised to be.

This is a nice product that helps soften my over-processed waves/curls when I am taking a break from heat styling. I have tried it as a leave-in and rinse-out conditioner, and it's good but not a miracle worker for me. For the price, I probably won't repurchase. I would rather use Moroccan Oil which goes a whole lot further for the buck... And it is wonderful for both skin and hair, leaving no trace of product yet leaving skin and hair lovely.

This is an average Leave in Conditioner . I didn't see anything exceptionally good about it or anything exceptionally bad. But for this price, I want an exceptionable product. I still prefer my Kiehl's one, but I want to find a better natural and less pricy product.

Not moisturizing at all and it made my damp hair harder to comb. It was almost like not using anything except for the stickiness. The smell wasn't pleasant but I could have lived with that. In all fairness, I haven't found a good leave in yet but this was the worst.

The best leave in I have ever used! My favorite time to use this product is when I want to give my hair a break and let it just air dry. I also use it to add a little extra moisture in combination with the surf spray when I want to create a natural, tossled look.

I love this! Although this conditioner is extremely pricey (at least if you get it in Europe) this is the best leave-in conditioner I've found as of yet. I do also really like the Kiehl's Leave-In but I prefer this one. It actually makes my hair so much softer and adds shine which is quite a miracle in my awfully dry, highlighted, long wavy, frizzy hair. I really appreciate that it doesn't have silicones in it, no particular smell and that it never feels sticky in my hair. You don't need to use a lot of product and even the small (travel-friendly) bottle lasts a lot longer than I would have thought. I use this leave-in product after shampooing and conditioning on damp hair. As a rinse-out it seems really a bit too light for my dry hair.

My HG conditioner! Love it, love it, love it. I have thick, fine hair so it's hard to find a good conditioner that doesn't weigh my hair down but also helps with dryness. This is it! I rarely leave it in b/c it works better for me as a rinse-out, but I use it religiously every day no matter what shampoo I'm using. Nice but not really noticeable smell, easy to open and close bottle--key for early morning/still half asleep showers. I'm a Big Fan of this conditioner.
