What it is:A daily, repairing conditioner to undo and prevent damage by up to 96%.What it does:The stronger your hair is, the longer it grows and more style options you’ll have. So strengthen it with Monoi Repairing Conditioner to restore fine, delicate, or chemically-treated hair.

Best Conditioner I have found for my unruly curls
-05.20.13
Quick Take: strengthening, doesn't weigh hair down, mellow fragrance, decently priced
My hair is so soft and yet so bouncy! Absolutely does not weigh down my hair at all but deeply moisturizes my curls and actually helps define them. Use in combo with Uidad curl cream and you're good to go.

Absolutely must have
-05.08.13
Quick Take: strengthening, doesn't weigh hair down, rich, nourishing, smoothing, repairing
I must say, I got this full size bottle conditioner after I tried the sampler - I just could not resist. It makes your hair absolutely perfect - properly nourished, silky, nice to touch, easy to manage. And breakage - it really does disappear. Just a healthy gorgeous look. Must have

Not what I was hoping for...
-04.22.13
A friend of mine told me about this line and how amazing it was and how healthy her hair was - so I figured I would give it a shot. I have blonde, thinner hair (thinning the older I get!). I have noticed more breakage lately, so I was willing to try anything. I tried it for a few weeks and sadly, I didn't love it for me and my hair type. My hair felt dry after I used the shampoo - and even drier after I used the conditioner that went with it. I was sad that this didn't work for me - but it worked wonders for my friend with dark, course, thick hair... So I would recommend it to people with hair in those categories!

less breakage!
-04.13.13
I have noticed a marked decrease in the amount of shedding and breakage my hair has when I use this conditioner in conjunction with the Monoi shampoo. Strangely enough, I use this in spite of the smell which I find awful. But its worth it for the improvement in shedding/breakage.

Soften, not rich, not anti-fuzziness
-04.12.13
Quick Take: lightweight, soften
It is very lightweight, and softens my hair pretty well. However, I still need to use other leave-in products to make my hair look shine and smooth.

Great Smell / Average Results
-04.09.13
This conditioner has a great scent, and a more favorable ingredients list than many other products, but it's conditioning abilities are sub-par. This is a great brand, but I would go with the conditioning mask from this line to get true conditioning results.

Ouch!
-03.20.13
Quick Take: ineffective, drying
I have very long, fine, color-treated, dry hair. When I first tried this product as a free sample, it seemed to work nicely, so I ordered the full size. The key word in the description seems to be "lightweight." After using the Monoi shampoo & conditioner, my hair was left dry & brittle. It took a solid 15 minutes to comb out the tangles, & numerous little snarly clumps came out on the comb. "Strengthening" my foot. I now have a bunch of dry, brittle split ends. Thoroughly unsatisfactory. Maybe I can use it to wash the dogs.

My hair felt amazing after just two uses. It's actually got volume, feels soft and I haven't seen any split ends in over a week. It smells great too which is a big bonus!!

Not what I expected...
-03.02.13
Quick Take: great for strengthening, not for detangling, non-moisturizing, may leave hair coarse
This product is definitely not what I expected. The product says "ultra-moisturizing, yet lightweight daily strengthening conditioner". I didn't feel or see my hair as moisturized; it felt very coarse, and no detangling to my natural hair. However, it did strengthen my hair, and I see less breakage and shedding. So, in my opinion, it only does half of what I expected. I will continue using, just not as often, maybe every other week for the strengthening, as I have to use even more products to achieve softness and detangling.

really love this line of products
-02.28.13
Quick Take: strengthening, doesn't weigh hair down, rich
use this along with its shampoo every few washes or so. the shampoo and conditioner are a bit too drying for my hair (but they are fantastic products - i just have fine hair that is also very thick), so i follow up with phytolisse serum and my hair is unbelievably soft. the plastic container is the worst product design i've ever encountered with shampoo/conditioner bottles before though.

Monoi is amazing!
-02.26.13
Quick Take: strengthening, doesn't weigh hair down, moisturizing
I have been using the Monoi Oil Shampoo, conditioner, and mask for 2 weeks now. It has been amazing! At first I was worried because I had never used a sulfate-free shampoo before. Also, at first it seemed to make my hair frizz. Now though, my hair is much better than it was before I started using these products! All of my hair is much softer and therefore more manageable. My curly hair retains moisture and looks great. The amazing smell of the tahitian gardenias is only an added bonus. (The other day I entered a room after washing my hair and was asked if I had just crawled out of a bed of roses, haha!)
I bought the box of travel-sized products but I am so excited for the full size ones to arrive today! Thank you Carol's Daughter!

Love!
-02.18.13
Makes hair soft, shiny, hydrates like no other! Also, I always had to use a detangler. I almost never have to now. I will still use the occasional oil because I color my hair. However, this is by far the best to make your hair stronger/ less breakage. They have a sample/travel size if you want to try it first.

-02.12.13
I have long long hair and usually I spend forever washing out conditioner that just sat on my hair for 5 minutes. But this conditioner disappeared INTO my hair. When I went to rinse it was quick and easy because it had actually absorbed in!!! A minor miracle for hair care!!!
