Avalon Organics Therapy Biotin B-Complex Thickening Conditioner, For an Energized Scalp and Thicker, Fuller-Looking Hair, 14 Fluid Ounces

Make hair soft and smells great

I like it. People are complaining about the smell. This is a medicated hair treatment, if you want it to smell like bubble gum try Herbal Essences. Your dandruff won’t improve though. As someone that has struggled with scalp fungus/dandruff for a long time this smells exactly like other products I’ve used and better than some. I’ve used Coal Tar and Sulfur products, this smells great compared to those. I had a hard time finding a medicated dandruff conditioner without silicone. I have Afro-type hair and I need to be able to cowash. There aren’t many dandruff cowash products out there, but this one is perfect for that. I like that it’s not heavy. It’s very watery and lightweight. The color and texture reminds me of milk, honestly. It’s perfect for my needs. It won’t replace hair masks or deep conditioner. If your hair needs that I’d follow this with one of those products. This is a light conditioner, or in my case a moisturizing dandruff product that will allow me to lightly cleanse my hair daily without drying shampoos, since Afro hair cannot tolerate shampooing daily. This rinses clean and doesn’t leave that nasty silicone buildup feel which defeats the purpose. After cowashing/cleansing with it, I follow with a silicone-free deep conditioner or leave-in depending on how much time I have. Avalon, please keep making this! Please also make it in the big pump bottle. This little bottle won’t last long for thick long hair like mine. The big pump bottle can last me a month, this one is only going to last a week or so since my hair is so long.

I cut my hair almost 1 year ago now but I've been missing the length for a long time so I've been trying to speed up the process with hair growth Shampoo and Conditioner. I wanted to love this since I've tried some other products by Avalon Organics in the past with good results. The Shampoo lathered pretty good and washed out fine. The first problem I noticed was that it didn't feel like my hair was hydrated/moisturized and it was noticeably more tangled.. The Conditioner felt better and helped give my hair more hydration but problem number 2 was that using both of these made my scalp burn for a while. I got momentary relief when I used a hydrating shampoo and conditioner afterwards but it persisted when I got out of the shower. Upon inspection, I saw that my scalp was red so I used some Rosewater on it which again only provided slight relief until it persisted for about 5 more minutes. Problem number 3 was the smell. It's not too bad of a smell but I was hoping it would smell like Rosemary as it seems like that's what the herb on the container is. Granted, it does smell like Rosemary but there's something else in there that I can't tell what it is resulting in a subtle scent. Apparently some other people said there's had a strong smell so I assume it differs by batch. Problem number 4 was the packaging. I ordered both the Shampoo and Conditioner and received them together but for some reason only the Shampoo was in a bag and had a sticker on the top to prevent leaking. The Conditioner... it wasn't even closed right, had no sticker or plastic bag to protect it and so it unfortunately leaked. Thankfully it only leaked in that small spot that it was in so it didn't explode all over the package or any of the other items I had. And that's the thing.. I don't think Avalon Organics shipped this to me directly so I can't even be mad at them for the packaging, had I gone to the store to purchase this (like I honestly should've done) then this wouldn't have happened. In the end I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has sensitive skin like myself. I've never had a sensitive scalp only skin (particularly on my face, hands, and chest) but this seems too strong for my hair and scalp with the irritation and drying it causes. I might just go back to Hask as I've had good results with their biotin Shampoo/Conditioner but for now the search continues... Also I highly recommend to use a leave in afterwords as I feel like it made my hair more frizzy than usual. Even if you don't suffer from frizz with this product or in general, I'd still recommend it to anyone as hydrated hair tends to shed less causing more growth in the long run.Update: I've since tried Mielle's Rosemary Shampoo, Masque, and Oil, and the results have been drastically better. I'd recommend trying those out if you've had bad results with Avalon.

Pros of this conditioner: it's medicated, leaves scalp feeling refreshed, and softens hair. Ever since I started using this conditioner twice a week, my hair and scalp have never looked better. Zero dandruff to be seen.Cons: The smell is not great. It's not awful, but it's not pleasant either. The chamomile leafs on the bottle had me thinking it would smell similar to chamomile tea, but it really doesn't. The conditioner itself is SUPER watery too. It's hard and near impossible to get a good lather on my hair.Will I keep buying this after I run out? Probably not. But I'm also not going to throw it out as it serves its purpose. I do recommend it if you don't mind the smell and can get past the lather issue as like I said, the product does what it says it does.

I love this brand. The smell is so lovely and light, and does not give me headaches. I despise most shampoo scents because they're just stronger than I can tolerate, especially with two little girls who tend to overdo it when shampooing their own long hair. I trust the ingredients of this brand better than any of the usual stuff on the shelves.
