Advantages: Does make hair straight, smells nice
Disadvantages: hard to get the shampoo out of the new style packaging

...it fabulously sleek and shiny". (The same thing is on the conditioner with just the word 'shampoo' changed!) The bottle goes on to tell you that for the 'best results' you should use the conditioner, and their 24/7 Instant Smoothing Cream. I've never used the smoothing cream. ~ - ~ Smell ~ - ~ These products have a nice smell, but it is kind of hard to describe. They don't claim to be any particular flavour so I'm not sure what the smell is meant to be. Whatever it is, it's very pleasant to use and lingers in the air and on your hair for quite a while after you've washed your hair. ~ - ~ Instructions ~ - ~ Like most shampoos, this tells you what to do with it … "Just in case, here's a reminder of directions for use: Massage the shampoo into your wet hair & rinse thoroughly. Repeat as necessary." And the conditioner tells you … "Just in case... Read review

Advantages: Great looking list of ingredients
Disadvantages: the scent, didn't work very well

...Lauryl Sulfate, although these seem to be in all their conditioners. The Look/First Impressions: ++++++++++++++++++++++ It's quite an average looking conditioner, white with a gloopy consitency. It comes in a black container like Dream Cream, shaped like a small B&J's icecream tub. Scent: +++++ Retread has quite a distinctive scent straight out of the bottle and if you hate it to start of with then I would recommend you stay clear of it as can last quite a while on your hair. When I first bought it I didn't think it was all that bad, I wasn't overenamoured of it but it didn't have me reaching for air freshner immediately. I think it must be the combination of the synthetic musk and violet leaf that has me disliking it more each time I use it. How to Use: +++++++++ The conditioner is quite thick and I'm always generous when applying... Read review

Advantages: Very effective at cooling the room
Disadvantages: A little noisy

...Well where do i start? I bought this air conditioner last week and was that impressed that i had to have it put on Ciao, so i did and here it is! I bought this from Argos and it was £169.99, which is a little pricey, but hey it does the job. When i got it home i took it out of the box and undid the packaging of the accessories etc. I nearly broke my back getting it out of the box, its very small and handy but it weighs a ton. I had another air conditioner that its massive and is less powerful than this one. Its about 3 times the size of this one. So what i am trying to say is that i think the size of this unit is really its best feature as it will fit almost anywhere. Now onto its efficiency. I had selected this model as it is A rated in energy efficiency, its about 800 watts in total on air con mode. I first switched... Read review

Advantages: Smell, Softness.
Disadvantages: Not on market yet

...I was sent an offer through e-mail to have a sample sent of this product and well you don't always get something for nothing so i signed up, within 1 week a box arrived with a large bottle of this fabric conditioner 750ml. I started using the conditioner right away as i just love trying out new products before anyone else. All you need to do is add 1 cap full of conditioner as it says on the package that's all that will be needed for a full load of washing. Is a cap Full enough? I feel a cup full is plenty enough to use as all clothes came out smelling fresh and clean. When i took the clothes out of the washing machine you can instantly smell the fragrance, i did a load of jumpers and was impressed at how soft and refreshing they felt. How long does the smell last? That depends, I put some clothes in the airing cupboard... Read review

Advantages: My hair was less fine and dry
Disadvantages: For best results you are recommended to use matching shampoo

...back round and left it for ten minutes. The instructions just say "leave on as desired and rinse thoroughly" but I think you are wasting your money if you rinse it off immediately - you have not given it time to penetrate and close the shafts. I had a quick "cuppa" and then went back to rinse it off with lukewarm water. After rinsing, the hair was squeaky clean with a slight slippery feel to it. My comb went through the hair easily, removing any tangles, and I gave my scalp another brisk massage with my fingertips before leaving my hair to air dry. My head always feel much more myself when I have washed my hair - less weighed down - and this time was no exception. The hair dried light and shiny with a faint apple scent which my husband commented on later. ABOUT THE PRODUCT Neutrogena ® Clean Balancing “normalizing conditioner... Read review

Advantages: Brillaint, Cheap Conditioner
Disadvantages: None

...to condition your hair more like" he grinned. ☼ Application: First I set up the conditioner nozzle. Following the instructions. 'To open pump, hold bottle by cap and twist anti-clockwise.' I heard the satisfying click as the pump was turned into the correct position. Then I washed my hair as normal. I pumped a few times as the air got out of the pump and the conditioner filled it, the first squirt told me this was indeed Vidal Sassoon. It was white rich and creamy very luxourious. The smell was gorgeous, an expensive perfumy scent. Just as you get with hairdressing conditioner. It feels lovely and luxourious. I used 3 pumps and began to massage it into my wet hair. I expected to use more but suprisingly didnt need to. I have shoulder length hair so this is good. It worked its way into my hair and scalp with great ease. The smell... Read review
