As a bleached blonde, I have flyaway hair that always gives the effect of split ends no matter what I do - wax, gels, serums, you name it, I tried it. I had tried just about everything in Boots before I started going more upmarket in to the "designer" haircare ranges and had literally dozens of half-used conditioner bottles around the place that promised lots and delivered nothing.
I saw the Charles Worthington range on 3 for 2 in Boots, and not wanting to shell out on a big bottle for it not to work, was really tempted by little cute bottles. I figured at least if it didn't work, I hadn't spent too much. I got a shampoo, conditioner and shine wax with my offer.
The shampoo was okay, the wax not too bad, but I loved the conditioner. It had a lovely smell -nothing chemically, flowery or fruity (I HATE fruity smelling beauty products - they only make me feel hungry when I have finished in the shower or bath!). I only seemed to need half as much as my usual conditioner, and you can leave it in as long as you need to. When I'm in a mad rush, I wash it out straight away and it still looks pretty good. When I have a bit longer, I can leave it in a couple of minutes, or to let it have a good soak for half an hour. And, best of all, when I have been out in drizzle and my hair starts to look frazzled, just a tiny amount spread through my dry hair and leave it and it acts like a hair serum and calms the frizzy ends straight away - it's like two products for the price of one - what more could anyone ask for?!
It's about £4 for a full sized conditioner, but you get a good six weeks out of it, depending how often you wash your hair. And, best of all to me, I can use my Boots Advantage points to buy it, so when I run short of cash, I can just spend my points.
The first time I used it, my children commented on how nice, shiny and soft my hair looked. And it must have been REALLY impressive for kids to notice things like that!
And to top it all, the whole range comes in lovely frosted semi-transparent plastic bottles filled with lovely pastel coloured products which you are not ashamed to have on display in your bathroom.
My only regret is after a year of using it, my hair has got used to it and has got the old "haystack" look back. I have switched to another conditioner, but hopefully, I will change back as soon as I can.

I have just begun using this product again after having a break for a while and I had forgotten how good it was, this is a truely fantastic product, your opinion is spot on, only I wish I could make my conditioner last as long as you do, one bottle lasts me about 10-12 washes max (about 2 weeks for me).
Keep up the good work!

I use the Charles Worthington range for frizzy hair - I love the takeaway bottles! £1.50, and it lasts 6 weeks or so even washing every day. Great op ~ Dru

A very good op even if I can't see myself using this product! Timmy.
