This is the second of three of Aussie's 3 Minute 'Miracles' I don't particularly like the 'Reconstructor' but that is another review.
Where can it be found, and how much does it cost?
Aussie products can be found in most supermarkets and pharmacies but specific products can be hard to find in small stockist's. As expected some retailers might charge more than other places so you'll have to shop around, but the price in Boots is £4.49 for a big bottle which I think is very good! But Superdrug may be cheaper, which it usually is.
What is the packaging like?
All of Aussie 3 Minute Miracles come in either 250ml bottles or 20ml sachets, as I have said the big bottle casts £4.49 so it works out £1.80 per 100ml (And no I didn't work that out, it says that on the Boots website.) The bottles are rather stange because the lid is on the bottom (Don't worry about it leaking it is very thick) and it has a sort of air hole in it! Also it is cylindrical so it is 'erganomically' designed to fit in your hand and it has raised plastic on the side which I suppose is to help you grip it when your hands are wet. You unscrew the lid and squeeze the bottle to
get the product out. I suppose this is a good idea because you get all of it instead of wasting the little bits at the bottom if it was upright.
What the packaging says:
On the Front: 'Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Frizz Remedy, for misbehaving, frizzy, dry hair. Deep Treatment.
Our unique formula, inspired by Australia with Aloe Vera and Jojoba seed oil, helps replenish moisture and nourishes your hair. Hair will be frizz free, shiny, and luscious.'
And on the back: 'Myth: It takes a lot of styling products to combat frizz. Fact: Not if you use the right deep conditioner.
Aloe Vera and Jojoba seed oil are blended with our unique formula, which helps replenish moisture, nourishes your hair and tames misbehaving frizzies without weighing down your style.
In just 3 minutes say bye bye to frizzies and hello to luscious locks! pH balanced so it's gentle enough for daily use, even on permed or colour-treated hair.
Salon Directions: After using one of AUSSIE'S shampoos' (Yeah right! Like I'm going to put my hair through one of their shampoos again!) 'work conditioner through clean, wet hair and leave on for 3 minutes. Rinse with warm water. For extra shine, follow with a cool water rinse.' (That is true!!!! But make it as cold as you can handle.) ' "There's more to life than hair but it's a good place to start." The AUSSIE philosophy.

What does it look and feel like?
The actual conditioner is a light orange and is nice and thick so you know where you have put it. One downside that comes with all Aussie products is that the smell may put some people off but if something works I don't really mind.
But most importantly, does it work?
YES! The only thing is, is that it didn't work straight away. If you are confused I will explain, after my hair had dried I didn't notice any difference in my hair but after the next wash my hair was lovely! It was softer and shinier than normal, but I always follow conditioner with a cold water rinse so that made no difference so the actual product did work. The only thing is that I don't think it is suitable for daily use because it might make your hair feel greasy and weighed down. Also a little tip just for you! Wrap your hair in cling film when using a deep treatment or hot oil because the extra heat opens up the cuticle to give better results. Aren't I good? If you have read my other review on an Aussie product and wondering why I'm a hypocrite, it's because I recieved this as a freebie and i can't resist a freebie even if I might not like it.
I would recommend this product as I think it's good value for money as it's so thick and gives some good results.

You say it smells weird but you don't tell us exactly what it does smell like! I like their leave in conditioner (the spray one) and love the smell of that!

Advantages: No frizz when naturally dried, lovely curls without putting any other hair product in, hair looked healthy. Disadvantages: Price, wish it was cheaper
