I adored this product, and it is my HG conditioner. Sadly, as with most of my HG products, L'Oreal discontinued it. Cone free, leaves my fine, waist length hair soft, and easy to detangle. I'll have to try looking at the Dollar Tree or Big Lots to see if they have it, because the tube I have is almost gone...

I really wish I could say I love this product! I bought this based on the many rave reviews here. I have tried it about 5 times so far, but this just doesn't work for me. I have long, very fine hair that is frizzy and prone to breakage. After using this, my hair is just as frizzy as if I hadn't conditioned. It has a nice texture and works okay as a detangler, but nothing to write home about. Plus I absolutely hate the smell; very, *very* strong and synthetic. I could have overlooked the smell had i obtained good results, but alas, I think I'll end up throwing this away.

Aveda can keep their "dry remedy" deep treatment! I'll take my $5.00 nutri gloss masque any day!!!!!!!! Amazing conditioning power, smooths, shines, detangles, de-frizzes! Makes hair gorgeous!! Smells like heaven and is thick and rich. I like to put a shower cap on over it for 15 minutes OR I put my hair in a tight bun *with hair masque in it* and cover with a towel/hair wrap and sit in the sun for a little -- really works it in! FAVORITE d/s hair masque!!

this was awesome. my hair is typical african american and i relax it. well right now i dont have a relaxer and my hair testure somwhat changed when i used this. my waves are looser and it was alot easier for me to pull a comb through my hair when it was wet and dry. it helped my blowdrying go by a lot quicker and my hair was alot smoother...all for the low price i got it for. i admit i was skeptical and didnt think it would work but bought it because it was cheao and i decided to give it a try. good choice!

I was surprised by this treatment. After I finished my first tube my hair had become soft, shiny, and healthy. I then started using Joico K-Pak reconstruct, L'oreal professional treatment in the yellow tub, and Pantene 5 minute strengthener, but none compare to this one. I know L'oreal can be a hit a miss, but this is definitely a hit.

I decided to pick this stuff up because they were sold out of my usual conditioning treatment at the salon. I love the price! Compared to my usual $17 product it sure is a steal! It done its job well, not any better than what i had been using but not nessessarily worse. It almost had the same effect accually! I might start buying this instead of the other to save some money from now on.

first off- i have semi-long, frizzy, colored, poofy, damaged, and dry hair (terrible, i know).. the first time i used this i was blown away by the results, it made my hair super soft, shiny, and made even the most split ends vanish. The next time i used it, a week later, i barely got any results, maybe its just me.

I have one tube of this stuff and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when my coarse wavy thick hair does not need too much conditioning. I just tie my hair up and let it dry overnight and every time I do this I have a great hair day. My HG conditioner!

This is a good hair treatment if you don't expect too much. It does a good job in straightening, smoothing and untangling your hair, but I didn't really notice it adding too much shine. At least not as much as I wanted to. The hair is soft afterwards and smells really nice. However, the smell of the product itself is really artificial. Also I didn't like that there are no purely natural ingredients. The packaging is nice too, which makes it possible to use up all of the product. I probably wouldn't repurchase cause I'm looking for something that would make my hair shinier.

This is a really good conditioner. I was skeptical since I didn't like the regular Nutri-gloss line, but I needed something I could get at the drugstore. I bought this for about $3. I'm really glad I gave it a try. It really seems to add moisture to my naturally curly and dry hair. Great smell, no cones, rinses clean, and you can't beat the price. Will absolutely re-buy.

After more than 10 years of abusing my hair with highlighting, blow-drying, straightening etc, I have finally smartened up in the last year or so and have started nurturing my hair. Unfortunately for my wallet and bathroom closet this means I feel compelled to try a new deep-conditioner probably once every month. My criteria is this: It must be thick, and it must contain protein. This product delivers both. Check.
It's also dirt-cheap and available at any drugstore. The majority of my deep treatmements tend to come from salons and most are fantastic but cost $30-$50 for a measly 100mL container. The only thing that I don not enjoy about this product is the scent. Quite over-powering and synthetic-smelling.
Didn't way my hair down at all, in fact, after blow-drying my husband goes "Wow, your hair is POOFY"..." It tames hair, creates hella shine and makes it very soft.

I had really high hopes after reading reviews about this conditioner. I have very long, straight hair that has become quite damaged from a recent bout of highlighting and coloring. My hair is now frizzy and gets tangled extremely easily. I was looking for a good conditioner that would make my hair silky and easy to comb though. Unfortuantely, this didn't do it. I found that the conditioner was much thinner than I expected and it did not perform like I had hoped. I ended up using a ton of the conditioner in order to get my comb through my hair. I also didn't notice a difference in the shine or texture of my hair. Maybe this will work for hair that is normal and doesn't need much conditioning, but it did nothing for my hair.

This works fabulously as a deep or daily conditioner for my long, dry, color-treated, curly/wavy/very tangly but somewhat fine hair. I've searched for years for a good drugstore conditioner that would provide enough conditioning to smooth & detangle my hair without weighing it down and making it stringy. This is it! I also like that it is packaged to sit on its own lid, which makes it easy to get all of the product out of the tube - no more balancing bottles upside down to get out that last bit of conditioner.


In addition to using this as a weekly deep conditioner, I find it works beautifully to keep my dry ends smooth & soft if I apply it to the ends over my regular conditioner (nutri gloss medium-to-long hair that's wavy/curly). After I rinse, the ends of my hair are smooth & silky instead of flyaway. I've been using this conditioner since I read about it on MUA a few months ago. I have already repurchased, and will continue to do so!


Note: I've never tried the nutri gloss shampoo - I usually use this with baby shampoo for regular use, or with a deep-cleansing shampoo once monthly.

The best drugstore conditioning treatment for colored hair, hands down. Along with Vive Pro shampoo & conditioner, I am using this product faithfully and it always does what it claims. My very thick hair is so silky smooth after every treatment! Highly reliable product. It's much better than Garnier's and even better than Paul Mitchell's color protective system. I find this product ranked pretty high at many beauty websites.

I use this as my conditioner every other day with Sunsilk Anti-dandruff Shampoo. My hair is sort long and dry but it isn't dull. It has enough volume on its own. When I used this only after a week, my hair did not go limp but I did notice that my hair was easier to comb and it did tame a little bit. However, I found that my scalp got a little bit oilier and itchier which was weird since that was the first time this year that it got THAT itchy. I only use this product from two inches up my nape until the ends so I didn't expect my scalp to react to the treatment like that. Plus, the fragrance of the Nutri-gloss range doesn't smell too good to me because it reminds me of baby powder. I would buy this again, though, because it's probably the only conditioner that agrees with my hair and I can find it almost anywhere.

I bought this on a whim while I was wandering around CVS the other day. I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this conditioning treatment. I've used it two ways - after clarifying when I kept it on for an hour and in the shower - and my hair feels terrific! My ends are now moisturized, my hair is shinier and I'm a happy girl! The best part is, it's under $6!

I did not expect much from this as I never had much luck with L'oreal hair products. Surprisingly, this made my hair feel so soft and smooth and best of all, it's silicone free which is oh so important to me. I'm tempted to try the rest of the Nutri-gloss range.

Tried a sample and was presently surprised. Did make my hair smoother and less frizzy. The scent was nice and does not make my hair oily at all. Gotta leave it in your hair for 3 min though, but pretty good product.

I had high hopes for this treatment after reading all the positive reviews here, but alas, this stuff did nothing for me except give me bad hair days. While it did leave my hair soft,it also left it frizzy, puffy and not very shiny. I prefer a conditioner that adds weight to my hair as my hair is thick, coarse and curly and tends to puff out. I don't think this is a bad product, I just think it's a bad product for my hair and I won't repurchase.
