User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Conditioner for Natural Hair
This organic product is the best! If used for a pre-shampoo, it helps to moisturize the hair and keep it tangle free until it is shampooed.It has a very pleasant fragrance. And its thick consistency fully coats the hair. I love this product and highly recommend it!

2 Stars very heavy, harsh ingredients
I have been on a two-year hunt for all-natural, organic, sulfate-free, ‘cone-free, paraben-free products for my chemically sensitive skin, oily scalp, long Asian hair which is fine but with some coarseness to it, and dry ends. I also would like it to be vegan (or at least vegetarian) and not tested on animals because I’m a vegetarian. Phew! I REALLY wanted to love this product because it has such a cult following so I used it for over a week even though with most products if my scalp itches and my hair starts falling out I don’t use it more than once.

To be fair, it did seal my dry ends–which have been damaged from years of using conditioners with silicone and dimethicone (read up on the damage that ‘cones do if unfamiliar)–and my hair looked beautiful for about two hours. Then it became heavy and greasy. After two or three uses my ends became dry, brittle and staticky from the huge amount of protein in this conditioner. I had to spray a leave-in conditioner on the ends in order to detangle. Also, my scalp was incredibly itchy and I was shedding hair like crazy, even when I was using it only on my ends. I experienced this to an even greater degree with another one of Aubrey Organics’ conditioners–the Chamomile Luxurious volumizing conditioner.

Normally I wouldn’t blame a product for my hypersensitivity and give it two stars, especially since it does exactly what it says it will do, which is restructure and repair damaged and overprocessed hair. But I bought it because on the Aubrey Organics website this conditioner was specifically recommended for those with sensitive scalps and for all hair types which I believe to be flat-out not true. Those with sensitive scalps, fine hair, heavy hair and oily hair will not be happy with this. In fact, many reviews on other sites say that this conditioner is not for frequent use, just deep conditioning.

I have since been to a dermatologist and was told that if you are chemically sensitive then the essential oils and plant essences that these organic products contain are often very potent and very irritating. So I’ve since switched to Free & Clear shampoo and Earth Sciences fragrance-free conditioner. The Free & Clear fragrance-free shampoo does contain ‘cones though so I’m still on the hunt for the HG product for all my unique problems.

5 Stars This stuff is GOOD!
Okay, I admit it. I sometimes abuse my hair and I don’t always pamper it as I should.But, Sometimes I get so busy!! Excuses aside. Every time I use this conditioner it leaves my hair so soft and supple. It completely restores elasticity. Not to mention that it smells DIVINE!(it has a fresh relaxing tropical/coconut scent but better). I have been natural(w/o chemical process) for over 5 years now.And it took me a while to find a really good rich creamy conditioner that didn’t have alcohols, parabens, or yellow no.5 in it. I’m always looking for 100% natural products that deliver (this one does)and an easy to read ingredients label doesn’t hurt either!Try Butyl-methyl-dmdm-hydantoin-tocopheryl-ethanol v.s.organic rosemary oil,organic aloe vera, Nettle extract,even Vitamins A, C, & E. All I can say is that my hair feels and looks happy after each use.
