i bought this because it is cheap, and got what i paid for. Did not leave my hair a disaster like using no conditioner, but nothing special, normal drugstore quality.

It's not the worse Conditioner I've ever Bought. But it isn't the best either. I find it difficult to review the conditioner without doing the shampoo, as I use the two together. But as the condition is what I use last the effect if probably more noticeable.
I find that it does a great job of bringing out the highlights in my hair, but this is probably about all it does.
It claims to smooth frizz and protect against heat, which I think is a dangerous claim to make. I have always used an extra heat protector such as Tresemme Heat Protector, but what I am finding is that when I dry my hair, the ends are completely fluffy. It gives the look of dry ends and although they do not feel dry to the touch, this isn't a very good look to have.
I probably would buy again, but it wouldn't be my first choice, especially if a better option was available.

I can't believe the reviews people are giving about this product!
I have VERY VERY thick, coarse, dry hair that is a pain in the butt most of the time but this stuff is the VERY best stuff for the price!
I buy the L'Oreal Vive smooth intense for dry thick unmanageable hair.
If you have thin hair i probably wouldn't recommend this product because it will probably weigh it down.
I love this product so much for my hair that I emailed L'Oreal and told them how much I love it!

Don't like that its not a rich enough conditoner for my thick hair. Does not feel very moisturizing. I love conditioner with a great smell and this one is blah in that area. States for Dry, frizzy hair but did nothing for frizzes.

This is for the "SMOOTH-INTENSE CONDITIONER FOR DRY, REBELLIOUS HAIR THAT'S THICK." Orangle bottle, dark blue label.

Gotta be honest: the only reason I tried this is because my sister left a bottle of it at my apartment, so next time in the shower I figured I'd give it a go since my hair is super, super dry and super, super thick. I dye my hair hot pink, so it definitely needs some extra love.

This conditioner is my new best friend. It smells good, is thick, really smooths out my hair and makes it manageable and soft and bouncy in a way I never thought was possible. I don't get any residue, and it makes my hair look better than it ever has.

I recently bought the kind for hair with "medium texture" (little yellow label) on accident, and I'm not nearly as impressed.

The only downside I've found to this product is that I cannot find it ANYWHERE.

I have thick, coarse, dry, rebellious hair and this shampoo and conditioner (the thick dry, rebellious formula) is awesome for my hair. I've used the shampoo with a different conditioner and the conditioner with a different shampoo but notice these work the best if used together. These are about the only drugstore s/c and I've purchased more than once. Remember; however, if you have thin, oily hair hair that gets weighed down easily, you're not going to like this.

I really disliked the shampoo, and this matching conditioner wasn't good either. This did give my hair a fair amount of "slip", but only hours after stepping out of the shower I felt like my hair was unclean and needed to be washed again. Left my hair greasy and unmanageable when my hair is already pretty manageable to begin with. Definitely will not repurchase.

Sorry, this was not moisturizing enough for my waist length, dry, frizzy prone hair....wanted to like it, but would not repurchase...my hair needs more than this can offer.

After using this for about 6 months, I've switched to leave-in conditioners as my hair is gradually drying out and I need more moisture. (It also cuts down on the amount of time I'm in the shower, which is always a plus!) However, I do have "thick, rebellious hair" and if leave-ins ever stop doing the trick for me, I'd repurchase this conditioner in a second. It is pretty nice stuff.

Got it at dollar tree so I will repurchase. It made my DRY hair look and feel pretty smooth. I let it air dry and got a bouncy shiny look which is OK with me.

Did absolutely nothing for my hair! And my hair isn't picky about conditioners. Usually most drugstore brands are fine. I just like to try different scents and things like that. This doesn't even condition my hair at ALL! Hate it!

This conditioner is orange. Honestly, how much cooler could it get?

I have the formula for thick hair, and I love it. It doesn't weigh down my hair, it doesn't make my hair greasy, and it moisturizes really well. What else could you possibly want in a conditioner?

Okay, so it doesn't really have a scent.. but I can live without that.

A thin conditioner that has a somewhat fruity-floral fragrance that might get on your nerves after a while if you use it every morning. Didn't do much for my hair. Sort of made it flatter than usual. I wish L'oreal would bring back the old Colour Vive line. It seemed so much better than this new line they have out now...of course I haven't tried all of the new line. Not sure if I would try the other new conditioners, but this one was disappointing.

Got the one for dry rebellious hair with medium texture, as I though I liked the shampoo. This did nothing and also did not feel moisturizing in the shower at all. It is going back.

Didnt like this (assuming its the one in the orange bottle)Got this as a 2 for one with the shampoo, which I DO LIKE. This made my hair my more oily than smooth-very unusual since my hair is dry and already feel the need to wash it out. Made my hairline gummy and boken out. NOT GOOD!

I quite like this conditioner. It doesn't blow my mind, but it's alright. I do find that I need to use a lot as my hair seems to just "drink" it up. I also like the smell, but I think it can be overpowering for some. Might buy again sometime.

I've been using this on and off since it came out. It is better than average but not great. It moisturizes pretty well and does not weigh my hair down or feel greasy or built up, The smell is fresh and clean. I usually only use a bottle of this at a time before switching to something else, and I'm not sure relying on this alone indefinitely that it would be moisturizing enough for my dry, very curly hair. However, when I'm in between other products I know this is a reliable and cheap backup. Overall I have no complaints and for the price it is an excellent product. It doesn't perform miracles but it does leave my hair managable and conditioned.

I hate to give this a review, since I've gone through two bottles of it... but here goes. At first, this was lovely for my hair, but as I went through the second bottle I noticed that my hair was getting greasier and more smelly (yuck!) during the day. It weighed down my hair and strangely, does not control frizz as promised. I definitely felt some static in my hair.

To me this product was bleh. It didnt' moisturize my hair at all. Instead it made my hair all frizzy and hard to manage. NEVER again.
