My Opinion:- I always follow up my shampooing with a good conditioner. Since Dove & Indiblogger had sent the entire Nourishing Oil Care Range, I used the Daily Treatment Conditioner along with the Dove Nourish Oil Care Shampoo. This conditioner comes in a convinient tube packaging which is of white plastic. Now this packaging is very hygienic but because of the loose flip open lid its not travel friendly, atleast I don't trust it.

The fragrance is very mild, sweet and feminine, actually its the trademark Dove fragrance. The consistency of this conditioner is thick but creamy. Its very appealing how the dual colored paste is dispensed through the star shaped nozzle. First half part of the conditioner is white and the other half is golden yellow. Looks like chakri (Snack) to me :P

Now this conditioner is a bit tricky to use, a little more weighs down the hair and a little less will impart no shine and would do absolutely nothing.As I said earlier that I always follow my shampoo with conditioner. I take some on my palm, rub it a little and apply to the ends and also to the entire length of my hair taking special care not to apply a single bit to my scalp. Then I rinse off after 2-3 mins. This conditioner is easy to rinse off and does not leave behind any residue. It does not need gallons of water to wash off completely, a big advantage.

This conditioner imparts shine and makes my hair soft and manageable. Also my hair is frizz-free to quite an extent. I love everything about this conditioner except the fact that it contains Carbomer, SLS & Silicons and therefore cannot be used for very long periods. I have to take breaks before coming back to this conditioner again.

Pros:-
* Sweet feminine fragrance
* Conditions my hair well
* Makes my hair soft & shiny
* Controls frizz/fly away hair
* Dual colored conditioner is appealing to the eyes when dispensed through the star shaped nozzle
* Needs lesser rinsing compared to other conditioners so I can use it when running short of time
* Very affordable for the quantity provided

Cons:-
* A little experimenting with this conditioner is necessary to get the hang of it
* Contains Carbomer, SLS & Silicon, known to build up residue

I rate this Dove Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner 4.25 out of 5. This product does whatever it says and that includes everything a conditioner must do. Nearly all conditioners contain chemicals and that's why our hair is shiny & silky after using them. I am sure I will keep coming back to this conditioner over & again. A must try for the ones with unmanageable & frizzy/fly away hair.

My Opinion:- As I said in my review of Total Repair 5 Shampoo that I always follow up my shampooing with a good conditioner, I was using Total Repair 5 Conditioner along with that shampoo. And now that this conditioner is also about to get over I thought of reviewing it also.

The packaging is similar to the Total Repair 5 Shampoo, white sturdy plastic bottle with red flip open lid with gold border. I think its very much travel friendly as I am always on the go. The one difference between the shampoo and conditioner bottles is that the conditioner bottle stands inverted. The frangrance is mild floral and stays on for long.

The consistency of this conditioner is thick lotion like and creamy. A single pump is enough for my hair, though I apply conditioner only on the hair below my hairline. I have oily roots and dry ends and therefore I concentrate only on my ends. I apply it on my hair below scalp level and keep it on for a few minutes. Then I simply rinse off with water, I literally need a few gallons of water to wash out the conditioner as my hair feels too slippery.

This conditioner is very creamy and I love the softness it brings to my hair but using a liitle more quantity weighs down my hair and makes it go limp. So it took me a week or so to dediced on the perfect amount of conditioner my hair needed. I am not happy with the fact that this conditioner didn't work on the frizziness of my hair. Otherwise its a good conditioner for girls with dry hair.

Pros:-
* Creamy and very moisturising
* Gives shine and help sets my hair well
* Improved the overall look of my hair
* Give a certain amount of body/fulness to my hair

Cons:-
* I need gallons of water to wash off the conditioner completely
* Doesnt control frizz
* Makes hair limp and weighs it down if limit of quantity is exceeded
* Need to use a serum to control frizz as it failed miserably here

I rate this Total Repair 5 Conditioner 3.75 out of 5 as it gives me shiny thick looking mane. Of course it is a good conditioner for the girls with dry hair. But I don't think I will repurchase this conditioner again as of now.
