This conditioner is amazing! I love any product with tea tree oil extract and this was perfect for my hair. I was getting compliments on how my hair looked a lot sleeker/shinier and define in its curls. My hair has become a lot healthier too with less split ends.
During the first time of application, my scalp felt an immediate tingling and cooling sensation from the pepper-mint.
On the flip side, that sensation didn't appear again on my +2nd use. This conditioner doesn't help with detangling the hair nor does it make it softer/smoother.
I would definitely be buying this again and recommend it to anyone who wants healthy hair that doesn't care about the detangling/softness factor.

While I love the matching shampoo and the smell of this conditioner, for my purposes, it's not my favorite. I've been looking for a good conditioner for conditioner cleansing and I thought since a lot of the extracts and oils in the conditioner were very cleansing that it would be great. But it just doesn't condition my hair enough. I usually rinse my hair with a baking soda rinse for 30 seconds, then use a HEFTY amount of conditioner that I massage for a minute, then let sit while I wash myself and shave. I rinse thoroughly and finish with an apple cider vinegar rinse. Even though the texture is great and it definitely cleans, I'm left with straw-like, frizzy hair. This surprised me since my hair is a bit more on the oilier side. I've never had this issue with other conditioners that I've tried as cleansing conditioners. I've started making my own conditioner and I'm happy with that, but I'm still looking for a conditioner that I can keep on hand when I don't have the time to make my recipe. So far, Organix Coconut Milk is the best as far as results and price. As much as I love Gionvanni products, this particular one didn't make the grade for my hair. Although it does work great for shaving my legs. But if someone is looking for a lightweight conditioner for thin, oily hair, it's worth a try with the shampoo.

Shiny, sleek, soft. In combination with matching shampoo, hair looks shiny and sleek, a tad stiff but still soft.

Tea Tree oil is my favorite hair and skin product ingredient. This conditioner works wonders on my dry, coarse hair. It softens, untangles, and gives it a nice shine. I switch out my conditioners with this one regularly. It has a nice tingly tea tree scent too!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Moisturises my hair without weighing it down. It provides enough slip for me, I don't get that usually for most organic conditioners that i have tried (Akin, EO, etc) I hate the packaging with the stylish looking but hard to use squarish cap. Price wise it's a little pricey, it's at SGD$12.80 for 250ml but it'll be more worth it to get it at the industrial 1 litre size. I have near shoulder length asian hair, thick with each strand being coarse and get rather unruly when it's short and not blown without a hairdryer.

I got an entire bottle as a sample years ago and I thought it was completely useless because it wasn't moisturizing enough for my dry, highlighted hair (as a point of reference, I use Biolage's conditioning balm as my daily conditioner + their leave in). I set it aside because I felt guilty about throwing away an entire bottle of product, even if I didn't like it. Fast forward to about a month ago, where I had this crazy idea to use it as a shampoo. I have been using cleansing oils/balms on my face (no more foaming cleansers) with much success so I figured, why wouldn't the same concept work on my hair? My scalp was cleansed and tingly, and my hair felt so soft and silky but not weighed down (miraculously, as I have thin hair). Also, I have been opting to rinse for a day or 2 with just water and conditioning my ends daily, but I wanted a little more of a clean scent to my hair after rinsing, and this does the trick without stripping my natural oils. I would like to note that although it is a great gentle cleanser, it is not enough conditioning for my hair, so I do use the conditioning balm on my ends afterward. Not a great conditioner, but great for off label/unconventional use! Would definitely buy again.

Does not detangle or moisturize enough, but I suspect it's because I have a lot of dry, thick hair. Either way, I'm giving it a good rating because my scalp loves the soothing feel. Smells great and doesn't weigh my hair down. Definitely a good conditioner to keep on rotation.

This is the best conditioner I've ever used! I have long and straight Asian hair that needs more detangling than moisturization and this does just that! I apply this only from nape to the ends and it doesn't weigh down my hair. If you buy this at T.J. Maxx you can get the liter size (33.8 ounces) for $12.99 with the pump packaging! At drugstores it's about $8 to $10 for 8.5 ounces without the pump packaging.

AWESOME conditioner! I've heard great things about this product so I went out and bought the T.J Maxx big 13 dollar bottle. Little bit goes a long way, smells and feel delightful (rub it into scalp to get the 'tingly' feeling), and it works awesome as a detangler. It quenches my thirsty curls for the most part too. I suggest getting the big ones at T.J Maxx or Marshalls, its more for your buck (:

I've seen a lot of people on the curly hair forums really like this as a co wash, so when I finally saw the big bottles of it at a TJMaxx I decided to buy two. Silly me. This stuff dried my hair out terribly. It also left some sort of film or something on it so that trying to use a heavier conditioner after it was pointless. I'm still giving it three lippies because the stuff smells amazing and my scalp loved it. I would definitely keep using it if I could.

I gave it 3 lippies for price because I know most people buy it in the small bottles for ~$8. I was able to find the liter bottle $13 which is pretty cheap. The bottle is a lot nicer too since it's a pump instead of those funny rectangular ones. I would definitely recommend checking you local TJMaxx/Marshall's/Ross. It's hit and miss, but worth it for the price and bottle.

Product: I have tried full bottles both this conditioner as well as the Trader Joe's dupe. While both products have similar ingredients lists, the original Giovanni Tea Tree conditioner is definitely superior. Has no silicones, which irritate the acne on my body, yet it still makes my hair soft and manageable, with the perfect amount of moisture (even in the dry winter) that doesn't weight down my curls. Furthermore, the tea tree oil and other ingredients are GREAT at helping control the dermatitis/dandruff on my scalp without making my hair smell like chemicals or metals. It works very well in conjunction with the matching shampoo, but of the two, the conditioner is my absolute must have.

Price: Its a little bit steep, I've gotta say. About $7 for 7oz. But fortunately my local natural grocery sells this shampoo and conditioner in bulk for much less ($7/lb).

Packing: It's okay, but the tapered bottle can easily slip out of your hands in the shower, which can get super annoying.

Overall: LOVE IT! My current go to, and I'll be purchasing again for sure.

This is a light conditioner, light enough to be used directly on the scalp. Tea tree oil and rosemary are main ingredients and they have a cooling invigorating feelign which I absolutely love! They are known for their abilities to help with scalp and skin disorders. The ingredients are natural and there are no silicones, great for itchy and sensitive skin. I have itchy winter scalp (I think I might have had dandruff too) but this has cured my itch! I just need to use a thicker conditioner on my dryed ends.

I LOVE this conditioner!

I had thought that another conditioner was my HG, but I don't know, this is certainly giving it a run for its money. I love it.
The bottle says that it only provides a moderate amount of conditioning, and for me, it provides just the right amount. I just cut all of my hair off, so most of the damage is at the bottom of my hair, and so the healthy parts just love this stuff! I wasn't sure of the smell at first, but I love it after it is rinsed out. it's a clean, minty smell that has just a hint of sweetness. Not overwhelming at all, so if you are sensitive to scents, please try this!
I also like that I can read and understand the ingredients list! It's great. My scalp feels good and clean, my hair is shiny, soft, and actually has some movement and body (which is unusual for me), and it really perks my waves up!
It can also be fairly affordable, depending on where you find it. I've found it anywhere from $5- $11 depending on where I have seen it. I usually shop around to try to find the best deal. it's also a popular conditioner, so it's not often in stock in some places. Oh yeah, and Target has 2oz samples for $2, so if you want to try it before you commit to a whole 8oz, check out Target. I love this stuff!
The only downsides are the cost (sometimes) and the top of the container is slightly domed, so it's a bit hard to get it to stand upside down, but I just solve that by leaning it against something.
If you have scalp issues, try it! You'll love it! It's also great for fine-haired people because it will not weigh your hair down!

My hair does not need a lot of moisture in the winter and if I follow with a leave-in I can use a light in-shower moisture conditioner all year around.

I have an oily scalp, and fine/medium texture hair. So too much moisture and my hair falls very flat and then looks greasy.

At first I was not impressed with this conditioner. After a few more uses I realized it is perfect for my needs.

I like the smell. It is a minty earthy smell. I can't smell it if I blow dry my hair but if I let it air dry I can smell it.

This is best for those that need more of just a light conditioner. It will not add a slick feel to your hair.

no cones or protein

Was thrilled to find a huge bottle for cheap at Marshall's a few months ago, bummed that they were out when I went back to buy more. I use this as a daily co-wash, regular price on the small bottles makes that cost-prohibitive due to the amount that I use, but it works very well. My sometimes flaky, easily irritated scalp is calm and happy, my hair is clean and bouncy, and my little frizzy broken flyaway halo is mostly smoothed down. Seems to be working well during the transition from hot, humid weather to cooler, drier fall weather, dew points don't seem to make a difference in how much I like this.

I bought this conditioner at Ulta for only $4. At that price I couldn't pass that up. Love the super minty feeling it gives my scalp and it leaves my hair soft and conditioned. I can leave this conditoner on for hours just to enjoy the cooling tingly sensation. If you can't deal with peppermint, tea tree oil or eucalyptus you may want to pass this up.

This is only the second conditioner I've tried from Giovanni and I love it! They had the shampoo and conditioner for sale for $9.99 for both so it is so cheap I may get more. It feels great on my over-processed coloured hair!

Like the member prior to me, I use this in place of shampoo with exceptional results. It does an excellent job of gently cleansing my hair and scalp, with no buildup to weigh my hair down. It smells wonderful and very minty.

I absolutely love this product, but I do not use it as a conditioner, per se. I have naturally wavy hair, and adhere to the CG (Curly Girl) method (no sulfates, and in fact, no shampoo if you can avoid it, and no silicones). I actually never use shampoo, but instead use conditioner in place of shampoo. For anyone who has never heard of this, the best types of conditioners to use in place of shampoos are those that are not heavy. The fact that this works so well for me to wash my hair and leave no residue is likely why a few people on here have not liked this conditioner because it is not very moisturizing. But, for what I use it for, it is perfect! I follow up the washing with this product with another Giovanni conditioner (the 50/50 Balanced) and my hair is perfectly frizz-free but not weighed down (a combo that is hard to achieve with curly hair).
