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!!

My hair stays clean
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I like how they it doesn't make my scalp itchy or dry . It cleans so good until the next day . Usually I would have build up and flaky by the second day but I feel so clean now . After washing I applied conditioner and my hair feels smooth . Compared to the shampoo , the conditioner has very light to unnoticeable scent .Gifted by nutrafol
Game changer
Hair Type Straight Hair
Nutrafol Strand Defender Conditioner has been a game-changer for my thinning hair. It's lightweight but still makes my hair feel silky and hydrated without weighing it down. After a few weeks, my strands felt stronger, smoother, and easier to detangle. It's the perfect partner to the Root Purifier Shampoo in keeping my hair looking healthy and full.
Love the Lightweight
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Its surprisingly very light weight! Even though its described that way, you can usually feel it. But no this is hydrating and light weight. I would definitely recommend if you like lighter products. Gifted by nutrafol
Very soft!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This is a nice conditioner. I like to use this right after the shampoo and it gives hydration to hair leaving it feeling so silky and smooth. I also noticed that it gave my hair a shiny finish and helped calm my frizz. Gifted by nutrafol
Love it
This conditioner makes detangling my curls much quicker and adds noticeable hydration without making my hair feel heavy. My curls feel smoother and more defined, but I still like to use a leave-in for deeper, long lasting moisture. Complimentary from nutrafol
