Made My Hair Soft and Bouncy
Gifted by nutrafol. I see Nutraol everywhere—TV, my dermatologist's office, TikTok—I was very eager to try this! I have fine hair that has thinned out significantly since having two kids. My hair is also dry and lacks shine. Pretty much any products that say they will thicken or moisturize weigh dow...

SMELLS STRONG
Gifted by Nutrafol - wow is this strongly scented conditioner! So lemongrassy and overwhelming, I cannot use this regularly unfortunately. Make a fragrance free version and this would be a knockout product!!

I recently put Nutrafol's Strand Defender Lightweight Strengthening Conditioner which was gifted by nutrafol to the test, and here's my take: it's a pleasantly feather-light conditioner that restores softness without weighing down thinning hair. After using it for a couple of weeks, my strands felt smoother and more manageable, especially mid-shaft to ends, and my roots didn't seem greasier (a pitfall with heavier conditioners). While I didn't notice any dramatic "fullness" from day one, cumulative use seemed to improve the overall feel of strength and resilience. For anyone with fine or delicate hair, I'd recommend pairing it with a richer mask occasionally, but for everyday use, it strikes a nice balance between care and lightness.

This conditioner makes my hair feel soft, hydrated, and noticeably stronger without weighing it down. The only downside is that the scent is a bit strong, but that wouldn't stop me from repurchasing. Complimentary from nutrafol

The Nutrafol Strand Defender Conditioner is such a good pair with the shampoo it leaves my hair soft, smooth, and detangled without weighing it down. My ends feel hydrated but still light, and it gives that healthy, silky finish I love. Gifted by Nutrafol
