I've only used this product together with its shampoo, so my experience is sort of joint for the two of them together. My hair definitely became thicker and had more weight, though when I try to break it it doesn't actually seem to be any stronger lol I wonder how that works? The conditioner doesn't really make my hair feel smoother or shinier though, which is not a big deal for me because I don't like shiny hair that goes oily quickly anyway. Personally, I think it's good to use products from the same series together, but in terms of effect, the shampoo probably does more than the conditioner. In saying that, I usually use hair masks / deep conditioner instead of conditioner so perhaps my opinion on the effectiveness of a normal conditioner is skewed. The conditioner has a nice faint smell and is milky in color, and it's a little runny but sort of between a runny liquid and a gel consistency which I'm quite impartial to.

Tips: try it if you're getting the shampoo, but you may find yourself reverting to your usual conditioning routine
As I've said for the shampoo, the bottle is nicely shaped and the flip top cap is study. I also appreciate that it is oriented so the cap faces down in the shower. This means the thick conditioning formula is easier to dispense and you don't have to shake it to get it out!
In terms of the conditioner itself it is extremely thick (definitely the thickest conditioner I've ever used!) and because of this I was a little weary of product buildup in my hair. However, this proved not to be a problem. When using the conditioner I focussed mostly on covering the ends of my hair shaft which tend to be finer and more prone to damage. I then left the conditioner in for a minute and rinsed as usual.
After using this conditioner in conjunction with the ELVIVE shampoo I can say that it left my hair feeling slightly more volumised than usual but can't say that I noticed a difference in the thickness of my hair.
My hair is really quite fine and falls flat on my face without any volume so I was super excited when I heard this range was coming out. This conditioner does claim to make my hair thicker after each use but it did not really deliver on that claim. I wash my hair everyday due to the fact that it is super thin and goes greasy super quick! I have not noticed any changes to the thickness of my hair at all. The conditioner has a nice scent which is not overpowering but it does not actually do what a conditioner should do. It does not make my hair soft, shiny or detangle it. It actually made my hair quite unmanageable. Not something I would repurchase from this range :(
Given my complete love of the Fibralogy Shampoo, this conditioner had a lot to live up to. Sadly I wasn't as impressed. It's good, but nothing better than any other conditioner and at $8.99 I'm not sure I would seek it out. I found that, unless I used a lot of the conditioner, my ends were left very dry. Over the last couple of days I have used the Fibralogy Shampoo with my preferred conditioner to better effect/result. I will continue to use the Fibralogy Shampoo but will use it with another brand conditioner.
Tips: Store the bottle making best use of the upside down bottle design - it is really effective.
I am not sure if this has thickened my hair or not. I've used it twice a week for the past month or so and haven't been able to spot any discernible difference in volume or strand thickness. HOWEVER! My hair has improved in quality. It's shinier and smoother and doesn't tangle as easily. That last property I've found to be a side effect of thickened hair from dyeing, so it could be evidence of the product's effectiveness. The conditioner is lovely to use. It spreads a large area quite well so you don't need to use an enormous amount even if you have miles of hair like I do. It smells great, and you get out of the shower with soft, supple feeling hair.
Tips: I used it in conjuction with the shampoo and serum and can't speak to what it would be like on its own - all three products contain filloxane which is ostensibly the thickening product, so I imagine a triple dose of this is going to have more effect on your hair than a single dose. I think this product could be really handy as a treatment for once every 6 months or so along with its sidekick products - I don't think you'd need to use it all the time.
I have been using this conditioner along with the matching shampoo and the thickening serum. I have very oily roots and normally I can only add conditioner to the ends of my hair but I can put this conditioner all over and don't have any issues with excess oil.
This conditioner is very light and my hair has definitely had added thickness without being weighed down my conditioner. I probably wouldn't use other conditioners but my hair is also very knotty. I didn't notice any increase in the knots in my hair so that was another bonus.
As with the conditioner I would love to see this product in a larger size with a pump but it is still very reasonable for a product that actually does what it says!
Tips: I would suggest using all 3 products together (shampoo, conditioner and serum) to get the most out of these products.
As with the shampoo, I was really excited to trial the Fibralogy range as my hair is fine and breaks and splits easily and I could always do with some more volume and strength! I love the teal and fuchsia colour combo of the packaging - it's stunning and really brightens up my shower shelf! The formula is creamy and smells really lovely so is nice to use. After using the conditioner my hair did look shinier and smoother but it didn't feel or look any stronger or fuller, if anything it made it more limp and flat than what I was using before. If you're looking for something cheap that you can chuck in the trolley and give you a bit more shine then I would say give it a go, if you're wanting fuller and stronger hair then I would say it may not be the best product to try.
Tips: As the formula is so creamy and thick, a little goes a long way.
The conditioner smells so so nice. Loved how it made my hair feel. I did notice my hair thicker with using the shampoo and conditioner, and less hair fall also. Definately gave my hair more body and volume and my hair was shiny the day of washing.
I used this conditioner along with the shampoo to try and achieve optimal results. As with the shampoo, I have not noticed any difference in the thickness of my hair. I don't generally use conditioners as my hair is quite long and thin, and I always have the notice of conditioners "weighing my hair down". But with this product, I wanted to be sure I could write an accurate review so I used it exactly as directed and used the conditioner after the shampoo. Although it didn't make my hair appear any thicker, I can say that I loved the smell and it did make my hair feel really soft and smooth! Even with my hair wet, it felt so soft and I asked my partner to feel it and even he could feel a difference in my hair!
So overall, I can't say I would use this product again, but similar to the shampoo, I will continue to use the bottle until it's done and will write another review for all the thin haired ladies out there in case it does make a difference with continued use!
I used to use the Loreal Elvive Volume shampoo and conditioner in the purple bottle (mainly because it was always on sale at KMART!) So I was keen to give this conditioner from the same line of hair products a go. I like my conditioners to make my hair feel very soft and untangled, but was excited that this conditioner told me it would not only do that, but make my hair thicker too! Whilst this product definitely delivered on my first two points of providing softness and untangling my long locks, I honestly have not seen too much of a difference in the thickness of my hair. Perhaps I need to use the whole bottle up to see a difference, but I have maybe a little over a quarter left and have not noticed much change. I do love the colours in the packaging though, and find it easy to use in the shower which I do like, I am a fan of the simple things. So in the end, it may not have thickened my hair per say but it is still a nice softening conditioner and I would consider using it again.
