This cleansing conditioner works very well for its price but it smells absolutely awful. If it smelt better it would be an absolute gem but unfortunately the smell is a turn off!
Ok, I am kind of on the fence about this product. The main reason why I would recommend it is because as far as I know, it is the only product of its kind availble in stores. It is a cleansing conditioner, so it doesn't strip your hair like some shampoos can. I like it because it lets me skip shampooing without having the gross dirty hair feeling. I do have some complaints about it though. First of all, the bottle is really small and I paid about 6 bucks for it at Walmart. Secondly, when you pump it, barely any product comes out. It's really annoying. I feel like I have to pump it about 20-25 times to get the desired amount of product out; and my hair isn't very long or thick. Thirdly, the smell is..weird. It just does not have a nice clean smell. I can't even explain what it smells like..it's like coppery or chemical-y. I don't know..I just don't like the smell. The bottle says no need to use a separate conditioner, but I always add in another kind just to give my hair a nice clean smell.. However, the end result is nice. You get that just shampooed feeling without having to actually shampoo. But I have to admit, if someone else releases this kind if product, I will jump all over it.
I am a co-poo user, generally I just use any old conditioner instead of shampoo. It was great to find a drug store brand that made a co-poo product, so I jumped on this and snatched it up.
It works amazing in the cleansing department, but I feel it is just a tad bit shy of being as moisturizing and conditioning as I need.
On that note this is a great product, I just have a few complaints.
1. the bottle is tiny.
2. the pump is dinky and you need about 10-18 pumps to wash your hair and it can get extremely annoying, just make it a squeeze bottle.
3. it is a bit pricy (and you need to use a lot of it).
So if the price dropped or the size got bigger (or both) I would be all over using this all the time with a bit of extra conditioner thrown in.
Have you heard of Wen? It's a product advertised by Infomercial (and I believe QVC?)-branded as a 'cleansing conditioner.' Wen is quite pricey and the Evercreme Cleansing Conditioner is L'Oreal's more budget friendly alternative to Wen.
I have never used a cleansing conditioner. I shampoo and condition my hair approximately 3 times a week. I'm a "bottle blonde" so I am on a maintenance schedule. I use a purple non-sulfate shampoo & conditioner once a week, and color safe sulfate free shampoo & conditioner the other 2 times. This is now in my shampoo rotation even though it's technically NOT a shampoo.
What I love about this product is that it leaves my hair feeling clean and moisturized. I notice less static/flyaways. it smells quite natural. I also like that I don't have to use conditioner after rinsing this. Great-more $$ in my pocket!
What YOU may not like about this product:
-the pump. This is a thick product and the pump doesn't deliver even 1/100th of the product that is needed to properly coat the entire head. If you have thick hair, save yourself the stress, and take the pump off the bottle.
-this product does NOT lather. This may be especially difficult for people weaning themselves off "regular" shampoo. Please be aware-just because the product doesn't lather, doesn't mean it isn't working!
I am pleased with this product overall. It has worked it's way into my shampoo rotation and if I have to wash my hair over the weekend, I will reach for this.
