Liz Earle Botanical Shine Treatment Review

Liz Earle Botanical Shine Treatment for frizzy, coarse or unruly hair

What the Company claims: A blend of red algae, cotton extract and sumac wax has been specially selected to smooth and tame even the most unmanageable hair, and an exquisite fusion of eight essential oils, including sweet orange and rose-scented geranium, plus vanilla extract, will leave your hair beautifully scented.

Massage into clean, wet hair after using Botanical Shine Shampoo. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. For an extra boost, leave for up to 30 minutes before rinsing.

Naturally active ingredients include red algae to help enhance the hair’s natural barrier, cotton extract to improve smoothness and sumac wax to smooth and tame even the most unmanageable hair, plus apple and orange extracts to boost shine.

Now this though mentioned as treatment works both as a conditioner or a deep conditioner..

I have been using this from last year..I use this around once or twice a month depending on if I need it..I try to keep it a little longer than the normal conditioner..but have not kept it 30 minutes though..

It comes in long white tube packaging..and is normal thick conditioner like in texture..has a strong red algae smell though..

It definitely helps in controlling frizz..and gives hair a nice sheen and softness..but for me it also weighed down my hair..even if I reduced the qty..it still weighed down a little..or perhaps it is meant to give a straighter sleeker look..

Pros:

1. Softens and smoothens the hair.
2. Helps in controlling frizz.
3. Has an amazing ingredient list.
4. Paraben free and cruelty free.
5. Deep conditions hair amazingly well.
6. Gives a straighter,sleeker look.
7. Leaves hair shiny.

Cons:

1. Weighs down my hair.
2. I do not like the smell at all..red algae smell is the strongest here and I detest it.
3. Expensive.
4. Not available here. You can buy it HERE

Overall I quite love this conditioner..and the amazing ingredients it has..and the effect it gives to the hair..softer, smoother, frizz free hair..if you hair is more dry or curly, you did love it more..surely recommended.
