Labelled as being for 'volume + shine for chemically treated hair' we had high hopes for this conditioner, but those of us with particularly dry and (over)processed hair were disappointed.

No problems with shine, this certainly gives that, but dry hair is left rather flyaway and fluffy rather than volumised.

Those with normal hair or slightly greasy found better results - it's quite a light conditioner so doesn't weigh hair down.

A rich nourishing conditioner for very dry hair which will help rejuvenate, strengthen and improve the look of dry or damaged hair.

It is a cream conditioner to use after shampooing, but often is mistaken for an intensive special treatment as it needs to be left on for at least 30 seconds to see the full benefit - don't let that put you off, it's very easy to use - leave on for longer if you can for a more intensive treatment. Also, try towel-drying your hair after shampooing then apply so that your hair, rather than the plughole, gets the benefit (a good tip pinched from Liz at Shapers in Oakham!).

Lasts a long time - only a small amount required.

This is Lisa's conditioner of choice as she has noticed a huge difference in the strength and feel of her hair since she started using it a couple of months ago.

Any fan of philosophy is bound to love the shower gels... well, we say shower gel, but their 3-in-1 products are a real treat, working well as a shampoo and conditioner as well as a luxurious body wash.

Pina Colada is a true cocktail fragrance, so much so that it's very tempting to taste it - please don't though!!

As a shampoo and conditioner the fragrance lingers in your hair all day, so Pina Colada is a great choice for summertime and holidays.

The fragrance lingers less so on the body - as designed by Philosophy - so you get a fabulous scent while bathing or showering, but you can still wear your usual body lotions and fragrances without worrying about clashing with a fragranced body wash.

We believe Pina Colada has been discontinued by Philosophy.
