Ok.. this stuff is awesome.
I read tonnes of awesome reviews for this conditioner. Before this, I'd never really bought any expensive hair products. At the moment I'm using Faith in Nature lavender shampoo which I'm REALLY happy with, so I didn't try the Redken all soft shampoo aswell. I don't like putting chemicals on my scalp but on my ends and mid-lengths I'm fine with it.
I recently (for some RIDICULOUS STUPID REASON) decided to bleach my hair a gingery colour to dye over it with a dark brown. I've had black hair for 5 years now and I'm somewhat bored. Anyway - it went wrong, all the underneath parts turned a reddy gingerish colour and the top stayed black, so I dyed over it with a semi permanent dark brown and now it looks okay. But was considerably dryer than before and I had more breakage.
Before this, my hair was really soft and I'd finally nursed it back to good health, not using heat etc ever.
After bleaching, even after oil treatments it never got as soft as it used to be, so I started looking at professional products.
THE REVIEW:
Ok, it's a bit pricey - but in my opinion well worth it. I followed the exact routine as before but my hair is noticably softer after using this. It has a thick consistency, is white, and smells very luxurious.. maybe like a deep vanilla-ey smell. The bottle is gold. In the shower, the first thing I do is totally saturate my whole head in a cheap 1 pound conditioner (Alberto Balsam, coconut and lychee) let it sit for 3 mins and then shampoo with the Faith in Nature shampoo. I then put on the Redken all soft conditioner on my ends, left for 5 mins when I washed my body etc.
Washed off... combed hair carefully when wet, applied a few drops of sweet almond oil to the ends.
It feels awesome! It feels like my hair before I bleached it :D I really recommend this to anyone with dry/damaged hair. Maybe even just to use it as a deep treatment weekly rather than every time. Oh, also, I used a lot less of this than I would with a regular drugstore conditioner. So maybe in the long term I'd save money.
