Lavender & Anthyllis Leave-in Conditioner Reviews

After the heat and wind this summer i was really keen to try and use a leave in conditioner when i dont normally use these products. I absolutely love, love, loved the smell of this product it felt like you were in a beautiful spa when you were using it. Most important though is that after only 1 use my hair just felt amazing, it had a beautiful shine to it as well which has been missing for awhile!

This was the first product I ever tried from A'kin - and I loved it so much, it has now become the benchmark by which I judge other A'kin products as well as other leave-in conditioners.

I use this as a leave-in conditioner to improve my hair's health, as well as a styling product because it holds waves, curls, and spirally curls SO WELL! I always apply on wet hair, and then style as usual - and my hair always looks and smells amazing after. On me, the style lasts a good couple of days. It even works without heat-styling - I like to just twist small chunks of my hair around as I let it air dry - after using this conditioner - and again, I end up with healthy waves that lasts.

The herbal, mildly floral scent is wonderful and unlike most other hair products. The lavender in it makes it wonderful if you wash your hair at night, because it's so soothing and calming. The thick consistency also means there's no need to use too much product.

It makes me so happy when a natural product actually works - and wonderfully!

I purchased this leave-in conditioner to use as a weekly moisture treatment. It doesn’t really work as a leave-in conditioner as it says it does (because it left my hair feeling stiff & sticky). Instead I use it as a wash out moisture treatment. After washing my hair as normal, with shampoo & conditioner, I applied it to the bottom half of my hair & left it for at least 10 minutes. After I washed it out & let my hair dry, it felt soft & fresh with a natural shine. I love this product & use it once a week to bring my hair back to life after the abuse my straightener & layers of dry shampoo.

I have both leave in conditioners from A'kin - this one and the ginkgo and jojoba. I like them both but find this one is slightly better for my fine curly hair. I don't however use it as a leave in conditioner as I find it too heavy for my fine hair. Instead I use it as treatment - so I put it on my hair and leave it for as long as possible, around 3 hours usually. Then I'll wash and conditioner as normal. Using it like this leaves my hair really soft and conditioned and doesn't weigh my hair down so my curls are soft, bouncy and shiny.
The scent is divine and lingers for the first day after using it. Also I love that it is silicone and sulphate free as I'm trying to stay away from these.

This leave-in has mobs of cool benefits. A'kin is a fabulous animal-friendly, Australian brand, and this product is silicone free and free of drying alcohols and sulphates. Perfect for curly hair and especially good if you follow Lorraine Massey's curly girl method.

It can be heavy or greasy, which is why I haven't given it 5 stars, but I have fine hair and find that if I apply a tiny amount to soaking wet hair it helps with frizz and gives my curls a shot of protein.

I'm a sucker for a cruelty free brand and A'kin is always great!

I have thick, curly hair that always seems to be a little bit too dry on the ends. A hairdresser friend gave this to me to try. I liked it, but found that it made my hair look a tad gross.

She recommended that i mix it with a little bit of argan oil and boom - lovely, soft, shiny hair.

I would only really do this on cold windy days or at night though

I received a 10ml sample of this leave-in conditioner although I'm not too sure from where now. It says it is for normal,dry and textured hair which is suitable for my hair which is dry.

I like that this product is made in Australia and is also cruelty free.

It is quite a thick white creamy conditioner. Strangely it doesn't smell at all like lavender to me so it must smell more like anthyliss whatever that is. It has a nice mild scent anyway.

I'm not sure if i used too much but i did use the whole sachet on my hair. I spread it through my damp hair and found it easy to spread. While my hair was still damp i brushed it and found it pretty easy to untangle. However, when i was blow drying my hair i found it hard to get the brush through. There was definitely some texturising going on that made brushing a little more difficult. But on the positive side the added texture did give my hair volume.

I found the product ever so slightly oily in texture probably due to the jojoba snd avocado oils it contains. While not a problem for my dry hair this might be a little too oily for normal hair.

Overall this was a reasonable leave-in conditioner. It did give me shine at the top of my hair but my end remained still a bit frizzy.

I generally love the a'kin/purist brand but was a little disappointed with this leave-in conditioner. I found it did moisturise my hair lightly, but was not deeply nourishing. I wouldn't buy this product again and in fact had to try a new product halfway through this bottle to moisturise my long hair.

I tried this product with normal/dry hair hoping it would bring back the sheen to my hair but it has not. It also hasn't sufficiently moisturised me hair.

I really like this product it makes my hair so soft and you can smell the beautiful lavender fragrance even after rinsing, the trick is to try and not use too much as it may cause it to look or feel greasy just test and judge what is best depending on the fineness/thickness and length of your hair.
