This product was pretty much useless as a conditioner. It did little to nothing for my hair and for all its promises (and it's price), I expected a lot more.
Its only good quality was its heavenly scent, which was pretty enjoyable. It smells all vanilla-ey and reminded me of cookies and cake batter which was divine. But unfortunately, the smell faded pretty quickly once my hair dried.

I like the packaging, and the smell is amazing. However, that is about all that is good about this hair care line. Each and every time I washed my hair with this, it came out dry and brittle. Also, very expensive for a drug store product.

This was the worst conditioner I ever bought. It made my hair like dry brittle straw. I hated it and the smell was like a vanilla Cake which is good and bad. I would tell everyone fo not buy this you will regret it especially if you need moisture.

What is wrong with this conditioner? I have been using the JF Blonde line for many years but sometimes I buy others to mix with JF's conditioner. I tried this alone, and keep in mind I have very manageable straight hair, my hair was like a bunch of strands that never seen conditioner, it was unmanageable, sticky, coated and overall looked like hell. No matter how much you use, it just does not work. Never again.

TERRIBLE conditioner for the price i paid!! I have short hair that's pretty easy to deal with, and most hair products work pretty much the same for me but this is a total let down. Despite the fact that it smells awesome, it just doesn't do what a conditioner's suppose to do, i would apply this like any other conditioner and when it's time to wash it off, it feels like the conditioner's all gone, the tangles are still there and my hair actually feels a little oily, not silky (as it promised) at all. Right now i'm just trying to use it up with its matching shampoo. I'd say if you are like me and only intrigued by the scent, just go for the shampoo and skip the awful conditioner.

I'm totally torn on this. I've been using it periodically over the last few years, and I absolutely adore the smell. Sort of a, vanilla buttercream, like cake frosting. Every boy I've dated commented on how my hair smells after using this (one ex said it reminded him of Count Chocula cereal, another of whiskey in a positive way). Unfortunately, its conditioning properties are pretty lackluster. It's pretty cheap, but because I have to use so much to feel properly conditioned I wind up motoring through a bottle very quickly, and I have to supplement with a deep conditioner a few times a week. I've scoured the stores and the internet and have yet to find a conditioner that approximates the smell of this. Since they came out with the shine serum I've been using that to supplement my hair smell instead of the conditioner, so that kind of works.

Like others have mentioned, this smells delicious (which is what initially drew me to it, as well as the claims of creating silky hair), but really did very little to actually improve the condition of my hair, and/or mask the problems that it has.

My hair IS very, very damaged, but I have honestly bought conditioners for one dollar (used generally for co-washing) that have left my hair feeling better.

I wanted to like it, but could not. I TRIED to like it. I tried leaving it in for one minute, five minutes, twenty minutes, using it twice or three times within one shower, etc, and nothing made this stuff work as it claimed it would.

Oh, and the bottle design is repugnant as well. It's also kinda difficult to coax this stuff from the bottle. Would not recommend.

I really like the smell. It's gentle and doesn't irritate my skin. It's cruelty-free, reasonably priced and the little squeeze bottle is cute. However, the product does tend to build up over time. It is also hard to get the last of it out of the bottle, so I have to add water and shake it well.

Sure this smells absolutely divine in the bottle, which is what sucked me in. Beyond that it is horrid. After 3 washes it has turned my hair into a lank greasy mess. At $15AU it is ridiculously expensive. Save your money and look elsewhere.

I'm just amazed that there are people who imagine that this stuff smells good. I find it toxic smelling. It literally gives me a headache.

And for the people raving about the natural ingredients - have you ever looked at what's in this stuff?! INGREDIENTS: Di Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Jojoba Oil, Panthenol, Silk Amino Complex, Vanilla Bean Oil (Organic), Shea Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Tetrasodium EDTA, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

Finally, I bought it because it says it's good for color-treated hair and that it seals the hair's cuticles. Ay yi yi. Am I a sucker. Far from protecting the color, it seems to be stripping it. My hair is like straw.

Stay away.

Smells great, but the smell doesn't stay and it leaves my hair rather dry :( Too bad, I'm crazy about Vanilla!

I love the Organix Vanilla Silk line. Vanilla is my favorite scent, and I love being able to use a shampoo and conditioner that complements my body lotions and perfume.


I originally bought this along with the shampoo because I was looking for a sulfate-free shampoo; I chose this one in particular because it smelled divine. It distributes evenly on my hair and rinses out without problem. This conditioner leaves my hair nice and soft.


The Vanilla Silk Conditioner is creamy and soft, with a very smooth texture. It comes out of the bottle rather easily, unlike some conditioners that stick to the bottom of the bottle like tacky glue.


While the packaging is nice to look at, it's not very functional. The tops of the bottles are round, so when I get close to the end I can't stand the containers upside down. I've tried building little forts from beauty products to keep the bottles standing on their heads, but at some point it all topples over. This means getting the last of the product out is more difficult than it should be, but with much shaking and bottle slamming it is possible.

I am on my second or third bottle now. I'll continue to buy Organix Vanilla Silk forever. I think I would literally die if this was ever discontinued.

So I was silly and bought this product because it smelt nice, before reading any reviews.


I have found it totally unusable as a regular conditioner as it makes my hair very tangled and dry- much worse than it is when I don't use conditioner at all. It's truly awful, and something I have never experienced in a conditioner before. To avoid rendering this product a total waste of money, I have been using it every-now-and-then before shampooing, on the mid-lengths of my hair, hoping it will provide some nourishment. I then shampoo and condition my hair with another conditioner.


Another thing I should note is that the scent does not linger after the hair has been rinsed. I will not repurchase.

I like this conditioner, but it's not one of my favorites. It smells great and kept my hair silky and soft. I do not use it with the matching shampoo, which I did not like very much. I don't have any problems with tangled hair like other reviewers have mentioned. I apply in the shower after shampooing, let it sit for several minutes, then rinse. However, the packaging isn't that great, it can be difficult to get out the conditioner after several uses plus it doesn't last very long. Too bad you can't turn it upside down. I will continue to repurchase this anyway because I like how my hair is with it.

edit 2/5/2011
I can no longer find it locally in the vanilla scent, which makes me quite sad. Some of the other scents smell nice, but they don't seem to work the same in my hair. Mostly I miss the heavenly vanilla scent from this conditioner.

I liked this product, it smells really good, makes my hair soft...but it has a ton of protein in it, so i only use it once every other week, or it will turn my hair to straw.

I wanted to like this, I really did. I chose this because they do not test on animals. I've been slowly making the switch as my old products ran out. Previously, I used Aussie, but I missed the memo that they were bought out by Procter & Gamble. The smell of this is heavenly. It's just amazing. I read reviews on here first, so I knew not to expect any slip but to still give it a fair shot.

My main issue with this is how tangled my hair was every time I got out of the shower. I have just past shoulder length curly/wavy hair. I'm not a baby about tangles either. But this conditioner made me have to go out and by a separate detangler. I could not get a comb through my hair without getting a massive headache. I don't think everyone would have this experience because having curly hair has a lot to do with it. But it killed it for me.

Aside from that, nothing about this amazing. You do have to leave it in for the required time. It didn't really have any affect on my hair. Same level of frizz, same texture. Overall, just very blah. But for the price, I think I can find better.

I usually use horse shampoo for my hair (try it), but after buying a whole bath skin care set scented of vanilla, I decided to get a vanilla scented shampoo and conditioner as well cos I'm completely anal like that. What a waste of money. Yeah, it smells great, but the smell doesn't stay after you wash it and it didn't really do much for my hair. I'm just using it until it runs out so I could go back to my tried and true product!

I tried this product because there was a "free with rebate" offer. The scent is excellent, but that is all this product has going for it. It did not absorb well into my hair. It did nothing as far as detangling and my hair did not feel smooth and silky as it usually does when I use a good conditioner. I'm glad there is a rebate so I don't feel like I wasted my money.

I love the smell!!! I wish is was a little more moisturizing. I doesnt leave my hair dry or not conditioned, I would just prefer a richer conditioner. The smell is great though and it does stay a bit. The next day when I was walking around outside and the wind kicked my hair into my face and it smelled like lovely vanilla.
