Reviews
I really enjoyed using this conditioner! It made my hair look and feel amazing and super soft! I definitely would recommend giving this product a try because it’s worth it! This was my first experience using Joico products but I would 100% purchase this and also try other products from their brand! I love the packaging and how everything was the perfect size to bring along on your trips!
I really liked the conditioner specially because I don’t have the habit to use conditioner instead I use cream and I found this one very concentra-se and really effective in terms of bringing smothering to the hair.

All I can say is wow Joico you just got a new fan in me. Conditioners usually don’t do much for my virgin hair and what I meant by that is I rarely get blown away by one. Most that I have tried do the same thing soften my hair and that’s it. This on the other hand I noticed an increase in softness shine and smoothness with my hair after third rinse. My hair is no longer frizzy too not even in this crazy Summer heat!
The texture is a lightweight cream that rinses off easily and quickly and leaves my hair bouncy for days! It doesn’t weigh down my hair and the scent is soft and fresh or as my 5 year old said ‘You smell pretty mum!’. LOL!
Love this so much and will be repurchasing the full size!
