Hands up here, while it made be brightly packaged I can honestly say that the chances of me picking this up while shopping were zero - it wasn't on my radar and normally I condition my hair probably once, twice a month which usually means I just steal whatever conditioner the wife has left closest to hand after I have dived into the shower.
At £17 for a 120 ml tube of the conditioner this isn't cheap in my opinion, but the marketing write up promises good things. This is what they say about it over at the AB Crew website:
First of all with a name like 'Nitro Conditioner' I had to try it out straight away - and the fragrance instantly reminded me of Tea Tree Original Source Shampoo, it is so fresh and minty! So minty in fact that once it has been rinsed off it actually helps clear my sinuses (which is never a bad thing - being able to breathe normally tends to be a bonus).
After washing all of the gunk applied to my hair out using my current fave shampoo it was time to test this baby out. This has almost a creamy consistency and only a small amount is needed to really cover quite of lot of hair (I'm currently rocking lots of hair and a mighty mullet).
It spreads brilliantly and is absorbed into the hair quickly. For the first few minutes nothing and then BOOM.......the strangest, weirdest sensation ever! My head started to feel really cool and then cold.....
I first started using this in June during the stupidly hot weather and I have to say, just the conditioning experience had me hooked on this - it was so refreshing and the cooling sensation does have the effect of spanking you awake in the shower - bonus!
In terms of how it leaves hair feeling this again gets top marks - my hair looks hydrated and shines. To the touch my bonnet feels silky smooth and my longer hair before applying any styling products has an almost flyaway property to it.
All in all, while it might cost a bit more than I would usually spend (i.e anything at all) I have to say this has impressed me and possibly saved the conditioners of my other half from being plundered - it is brilliant, has a great effect when using and provides excellent results.
Teehee I like this review - 17 quid compared to 'nothing at all' ......
ReplyDeleteI've never tried anything like this but it sounds pretty amazing! I don't think the hubby would be convinced - I doubt he spends that on hair products in a year!

This sounds like quite an experience! It is expensive, but sounds a good buy for summer - not so sure you'd want that sensation in the winter months though!
ReplyDeleteThis stuff sounds pretty cool. It for sure sounds like a GREAT buy for summer. I have never heard of this brand or anything remotely similar but I am super intrigued by it. Thanks for sharing for sure!
ReplyDeleteI condition after every single shampoo so I do know that a good conditioner is worth it. I've spent more than that on a conditioner before... I bet your wife is relieved that you have your own conditioner now?!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a color ! I am crazy about finding a good conditioner. Indeed a bit expensive but I would love to try it because I love to have my hair in shape, all shinny and silky soft.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds good but I have to admit, I'm not a fan of minty products, especially due to the cold sensation. Awesome in hot weather though!
