-Price- I paid 4.18 in June 2006 but I have heard since then, that there are sometimes BOGOF or 3 for 2 offers on, so it really is worth waiting for the offers and stocking up.
-Packaging- I like the packaging, it's almost like a cuboid but has curved edges. The 250ml bottle stands is approx 14cm tall and 11cm wide. The conditioner is dispensed through a hole at the top with a 'lift-the-flap' cover. The container is a pale peach / pale orange colour.

It infuses hair with intense rehydrators and smoothers
Boosts hair's natural ability to absorb and retain moisture.
Protects hair from colour loss and heat-styling damage.
-My Experience-Anyone who has read my reviews relating to hair care products will know that I detest my hair!! It's coarse and frizzy and although I have a couple of favourite products nothing has ever given it a sleek look, I'm destined to have frizz unless I apply the straighteners.
Anyway, enough moaning, back to the product:
-Colour and Smell -
This is a white, quite thick cream which has a very clean and fresh smell to it.
- Using it -
Not surprisingly I apply this after my shampoo. The first time I used it I lathered my hair with it and have since learned that a little really does go a long way! It's easily applied and again easy to rinse out, just make sure you get it all out otherwise, as with all conditioners it can leave your hair looking limp and greasy if it isn't not totally removed.
In terms of what it does, this deep conditioner really detangles my hair leaving it much more manageable, it looks and feels a lot smoother, the frizz is still there until I use the straighteners but in it's defence this is not marketed as a solution to frizzy hair.
As for making my hair 3x stronger, I can't comment........I've used it for a month and don't really know what 'strong hair' should be!!
I also can't say 100% that it protects my hair from colour loss and heat-styling damage. I tend to dye my hair once every 4 weeks when the ghastly signs of old age start rearing their ugly roots so the rest of my hair doesn't really have time to lose it's oh so natural colour!
- My Verdict -
This really is a great conditioner, achieving almost all of what it promises to do. What I particularly like about the 'bumph' on the bottle is that it doesn't go on about 'cat-walk sleek' looks etc as we all know that that is mostly only achieved by being preened by top stylists etc. It's a great product for anyone whose hair needs an extra moisture boost, it does the trick. I'm just going to look out for the 3 for 2 or BOGOF offers that are around from time to time.

Now I just didn't know this until writing the review but CW started his career as an architect. He then trained as a hairdresser and started with a small salon, he know has five highly successful London salons and one in New York which attracts a lot of celebs!
For us mere mortals you may be interested in some of his other products which I have listed below.
There are endless amounts to try within each of the ranges! I'm happy with this one for the moment, or at least until it runs out which will be many months from now, considering the size of the container and the small amount required for my just below the shoulder length hair!
