The best drugstore conditioner, hands down. I used to be a die hard CHI Infra Treatment. It conditioned my hair amazingly, my hair would be silky soft and shiny. Finding a drugstore dupe was nearly impossible. I had no problem paying the $10-20 price because what it did for my hair. After using this, I won't need to spend that much anymore. It smells good, moisturizes my ends and is overall the perfect conditioner for me. I have hair that goes to my lower back. I need this or else my end are dry as a desert. I hope this is NEVER discontinued.

For starters, I have fine, just-over-shoulder-length hair that isn't treated chemically. Low maintenance, really. I bought both the shampoo and conditioner from the Break's Over range, and both products suit my needs nicely.


A small amount of shampoo cleans my hair nicely, whilst the conditioner conditions and detangles well, and that's it. I noticed that I have a little less breakage and split ends, but I don't know if this product range has anything to do with that. The bottle is awesome, it's easy to squeeze out exactly as much product as you need.The coconut meets mango smell is gorgeous, but I'm less enthusiastic about the colour (I mean, blueish lilac?) because it seems not very natural to me. Like blue M&Ms :-)


Overall, this stuff is pure bang for buck, but don't expect salon performance.

Like the shampoo, it smells nice and looks pretty. Don't recommend using it together with the shampoo if you are really sensitive to smells because it can get a little too rich. Really creamy for my fine hair and didn't need much for it to work. Makes a great mask for hair.

I really like this conditioner. It smells very good, helps detangle, and comes with a lot of product for a cheap price.

i use this with the none of your frizziness shampoo. i love the smell of this, and how it feels but when your hair is wet it doesnt mix with your hair very well at all until you put a ton on and rub it in well. in my experience it doesnt untangle that great...but i dont know what would because my hair is so thick, long and gets knots in it easily if i dont brush it a lot. i dont know how much this helps with breakage, or how soft it makes it but i like it overall. :)

EDIT: i think this and the none of your frizziness shampoo has been breaking out my face, because my skin had no break outs before but now it does and im busting my ass to get rid of them. this sucks :(. that S smelled really good LOL.

Surprisingly rich, this conditioner is much thicker than the Hello Hydration. Pretty good for detangling, which I suppose is all that you could really ask of an anti-breakage product. I squeeze all of the moisture out of my hair after shampooing (with matching poo) and leave this in for a couple of minutes before rinsing. It definitely builds up, which is why the medium rating, so you can't use this every day. I've found that alternating between this and Hello Hydration seems to work just fine. Very inexpensive, so I can use a huge pawful of it every time. The smell is very sweet and tropical, not a deal-breaker. Could see myself repurchasing.

This was OK. I prefer the Hello Hydration conditioner. I wasn't too keen on the smell or the actual results on my hair with this. I didn't notice anything special regarding softness or protecting against breakage. I do like the colour of the conditioner though (I love purple :P ).

I switch my conditioner every couple of days (I have a stock of them in the shower). So, I would recommend this conditioner, but only if you don't use it day after day. I felt as if my hair got heavy whenever I used it frequently. However, the smell is delightful and I got it after my boyfriend broke up with me...so..well the message was inspiring :)

I have dark thick hair that is hardly ever to styling products! This conditioner at first felt rich and creamy but I think overall it made my hair drier! Herbal Essences never ever really did much for my hair but atleast it smelled nice!

I have never hated a product more in my life.
This is the worst conditioner I have ever used. I don't think it should even be called a conditioner, for it did not even manage to do the least bit of conditioning to my hair.
From the first time I used it, I knew it was crap. It seemed to sit on and around my hair, without actually doing anything. Rise it off after a few minutes and it's like I never applied conditioner. I thought maybe it would take some time to work, so I continued to use this for a month in hopes that it would help my hair.
My initial reaction was accurate.
At the end of it, this left my hair as cotton candy and hay.

I'm not even keen on the smell, that coconuty fragrance really is not my thing.

This was overall a nice cheap leave-in conditioner! I liked the coco-mango scent too. As for strengthening I'm not totally convinced of that. This is a perfect product if you have dry hair or want to calm down some frizzies or fly aways. You get 10.1 FL oz in a blue squeeze bottle all for about 3 bucks. You can't beat that! The bottle can also recycled too it's a HDPE #2 plastic!

This is just OK. This is not really moisturizing enough for my hair. In general, Herbal Essences conditioner does not really work for my type of hair texture, length or damage, but I do love their shampoos.

wow! I normally do not like herbal essences because in the past i've tried it when it had the old packages and it didn't do very well for my hair. I gave this a try after reading the reviews and this stuff is great! My hair is significantly softer after using it just once. I didn't even have to leave it in very long (maybe two minutes). It smells fantastic and I dont have to use very much to coat my hair. It's slightly past the shoulders and super dry. I definitely recommend this and will buy again!! I think this is the first time i've ever given a conditioner 5 out of 5 lippies! This is definitely my HG!! My hair has never felt better.

OMG. It's my HG! Isn't it like $3? I keep buying it over and over again. I'm guilty as to over-using it sometimes. It's quite indulging. It's cheap. It smells so good. It moisturizes. It doesn't weigh my fine, oily roots, dry ends hair down. It leaves it shiny and smooth. It replaced my $20 Lanza Detangler as my favorite conditioner. Love it. There is a sligtht BUT though... sometimes I feel like I need more moisture for my dehydrated ends, so I'm currently looking into buying a deep conditioner.

I have long curly hair and this is my daily after-shampoo leave-in conditioner. It moisturizes my delicate ends without weighing down my curls. I don't worry about using it up because it is so inexpensive. Great for detangling too.

This is my winter conditioner because it's thick and softens my hair in the dry, winter air. I love the scent, and it lasts for a long time. I also use it as my "repair" conditioner. Whenever I try a new conditioner, and it dries out my hair, I go back to this conditioner, and it fixes it right up after a few days. Will always keep it handy!

This is a good reason why I don't believe the saying "you get what you pay for". I didn't really care Herbal Essences when it first came out, with the different formulation and different packaging, so I was skeptical in trying this. I was so wrong. I can't believe the quality of this - very rich, thick, and creamy. It left my hair soft, shiny and manageable. Oh and it smells sooooo good! Will definately repurchase. UPDATE: I've found yet another reason to love this - it detangles like a dream.
