Boots Coconut and Almond leave in conditioner
This leave-in conditioner comes in a light weight, 150ml spray bottle and is from the boots own range. When I bought it a few days ago, it was £1.26 per bottle with a buy one get one half price offer. The bottle is plastic and recyclable as is the cap. The image is quite basic yet enticing, with lots of pure white and a picture of an open coconut and an almond on. It states that it is suitable for normal to dry hair, which means that it is suitable for most people as those with greasy hair would not be looking for an extra conditioner. The conditioner itself is watery and white, probably designed to resemble coconut milk. Boots state that “with extracts of coconut and almond this leave in conditioner is specially formulated to moisturise and smooth, leaving hair soft and tangle free”.
The first thing I noticed when using this product was the gorgeous smell; it smells strongly of coconut, not too artificial and this smell remains on the hair for a good day after use or until the next wash! The sprayer ensures that the hair is lightly and evenly coated in the conditioner and leaves no mess. My hair is prone to dryness and this conditioner does have some moisturising effect on it, however I still need to use a wash off conditioner when I wash my hair as the leave in conditioner itself is not enough to combat my dry hair. I have long hair which I spray with the conditioner every other day and it has lasted a good few months, which for £1.26 seems great value for money.
I would recommend this conditioner for anyone who wants their hair to smell great and have an extra level of conditioning. This conditioner would be great for wedding hair as everyone who hugs you on your special day will be able to smell the lovely coconut fragrance. Even people with greasy hair would be able to reap the benefits of this spray as long as it was only used on the ends of the hair.
Pros – Smells amazing, is cheap and lasts a long time, can be used by all hair types, you get boots points, has some conditioning effect on the hair, the bottle and cap can be recycled.
Cons- For people with dry hair it could not be used as the only form of conditioner, did not detangle the hair as stated on the bottle and the spray pump cannot be recycled.
