A'kin Daily Shine Conditioner

Thank you BR for the opportunity to trial A'kin Daily Shine Conditioner.

The conditioner comes in a tall 375ml cylinder shaped bottle with a push cap lid. The bottle and cap are made with 100% recycled plastic. And is Australian made.

The conditioner bottle has instructions for use, an ingredient list and loads more information on the product. The conditioner is white in colour and texture is thick and creamy. I am not a fan of the fragrance.

After shampooing my hair with A'kin Daily Shine Shampoo, I then apply A'kin Daily Shine Conditioner.

Simply apply to mid-length and ends. I use a generous amount on my long, thick hair. I can easily run my fingers through my hair once applied. I leave in for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

I have not noticed an increase in shine or added smoothness with my hair yet. But will keep using and hopefully see a change.

My hair scalp/hair feel clean.

The bottle for this conditioner comes in a long skinny shape - which looks aesthetically pleasing but the plastic is kind of hard and makes it somewhat hard to squeeze out, so I have ended up storing it upside down.

The smell is divine - a lovely botanical scent. It is thick and creamy, applies well and doesn't weigh down my fine hair.

After using in conjunction with the matching shampoo - I am not sure it looks shinier yet, but it definitely feels softer and my hair is less frizzy.

The A’kin Daily Conditioner is a gentle and nourishing conditioner made with Australian Jojoba Oil, Yerba Mate and Niacinamide and is fragranced with Geranium, Cedarwood and Patchouli. It is a great environmental choice as it is free of harsh chemicals, is sulphate and silicone free and has 100% recycled packaging. I really appreciate that it is dermatologically tested on humans and not on animals. My only gripe is that I don’t find the tall bottles particularly attractive or user friendly. I would rather a tube that I could take to the gym or when travelling. I’m very careful with hair products I use as my fine hair is very highlighted with a darker colour underneath. I regularly go to the gym and swim plus I use a blow drier and a straightener. I need a conditioner that is moisturising but not to the point of making my hair more oily or too heavy - a big ask in Auckland’s humidity coupled with sweat from the gym and chlorine from swimming. I am also aware that as I age my hair colour can appear more dull. After shampooing I apply the conditioner to my damp hair. It has a creamy texture and you don’t need much. I rub it into the ends where my hair needs the most hydration. I work the conditioner upwards towards the roots but stop midway keeping it off my roots so that they don’t become greasy. I shower and after 5 minutes give it a good rinse. My hair has no tangles; it combs easily and does not have a straw like feel. After drying it feels soft and full and wonder of wonders - the frizz is gone. It is super shiny and I am pleased that it hasn’t affected the darker colour in my hair by bringing out the red undertones. I really like this conditioner and find its lightweight, nourishing formula just right for my ageing colour treated hair.

I think this is a nice conditioner, especially for its price point and considering A'kin is a cruelty free and ethical brand.

For reference, I have hair that is oily on the roots and dry on the ends. I apply this conditioner to my mid-lengths and ends and it works well. If you are prone to oily roots like me, I wouldn’t apply this conditioner any higher up than mid-lengths.

The conditioner is rich and easy to spread across your hair. A little goes a pretty long way.

I really like the smell of this product - it’s pleasant without being overwhelming and it doesn’t cling to your hair after you’ve washed it out which is my preference.

Overall, this conditioner made my hair feel pretty nourished. I can’t say I really noticed it making my hair more shiny, but maybe that comes with more use or is more applicable to people with dark hair (I’m blonde).

First of all, thank you to the Beauty crew for this trial. A'kin daily shine conditioner comes in a clear plastic bottle with a plastic lid that you can pop open and pour the conditioner into your hand. I used this conditioner after using the A'KIN daily shine shampoo. This is quite a thick conditioner and makes your hair feel so soft. It recommends that you use this conditioner from the mid length to the ends of your hair. This rinses out well leaving your hair feeling super smooth. The fragrance is not too strong, it has geranium, cedarwood and patchouli. The end result once I had dried and straightened my hair was shiny and smooth, a perfect result.

With a promise of instantly smoother hair after 1 wash, I was keen to give A’kin Daily Shine Conditioner a go! This is a lightweight conditioner that is easy to apply and non-greasy. The use of Australian Jojoba Oil, Yerba Mate and Niacinamide provides a deeply nourishing condition that will leave your hair feeling silky smooth and manageable. I've noticed a reduction in baby hairs and frizz without any heavy residue on my hair. Since my hair is a little on the finer side I need conditioner that doesn’t weight it down. The luxurious floral fragrance of Geranium, Cedarwood and Patchouli is delicious both in the shower and lightly noticeable on my hair throughout the day. The clear bottle makes it really easy to see the product within and both the bottle and cap are made from 100% recycled plastic so it’s a win for the environment too! A'kin's has a dedication to being cruelty-free and using eco-friendly formulations, which makes this conditioner not only effective but also a responsible choice too! If you're in search of a natural, effective conditioner that truly makes a difference, look no further than A'kin Daily Shine Conditioner - you won't be disappointed!

I trailed the matching shampoo with mixed feelings, but the conditioner was much better. It made my hair slide through my fingers like butter, and because I have long thick hair, this is no mean feat. It has a very pleasant fragrance. I really love the ingredient list, but unfortunately once my hair was dry. It was frizzy and felt more brittle. Overall an average product.

This came with the shampoo and I have been using them together. Like the shampoo, the product doesn't squeeze through the lid perforation so I have to remove the lid to get the product which is fine.

The product is a thick white cream that glides through my hair and coats every strand. I like that a lot. It leaves my hair soft, tangle-free, and shiny and with no staining due to having no colour in it.It feels very gentle on my hair and scalp.

As with the shampoo, it says it features a luxurious fragrance of Geranium, Cedarwood & Patchouli. I really don't like the scent.

What I do like is that it is 100% Vegan, Sulphate & Silicone Free, and has 100% recycled packaging. I looked at their site and it says they never test their products on animals so that is also a huge tick.

But I can't get past the smell, and it lingers in the bathroom which is not good. For anyone who does like the smell though, this is a very good gentle, botanical, product and definitely worth a try. It is $21.99 for the 375ml bottle, but they also have a 50ml tube for $8.99 if you want to try something smaller.

Thank you for the opportunity to try this product. The conditioner has a white gloss to it. As with the shampoo bottle my seals came off and was stuck in the lids, no need to remove. Manufacturer might want to look into that, some leaked out in the box because of this

Conditioner has a faibt herbal smell, not overpowering at all. Conditiiner leaves hair really soft, even enhanced my curls, but cant really see a shine.

Will continue use to see if anything changes.

This conditioner comes in a lovely slim bottle with an easy to open and close lid. It has a lovely texture and glides through your hair easily, you don’t need a lot and it made my hair shine and tangle free with no effort. I have very fine damaged hair it didn’t weigh it down like a lot of conditioners did. Unfortunately I didn’t like the fragrance at all which would prevent me from purchasing this, o this is a personal preference and overall it was a great conditioner.
