I LOVE this conditioner! The shampoo is also nice, but the conditioner is definitely the icing on the cake and a necessity when using the clarifying shampoo. My hair feels so soft and silky, and I can already notice a difference in shine after one use. I have very very long hair that goes past my waist, and this conditioner keeps my hair detangled throughout the day (which is a friggin' miracle for me!). Also, I like that the conditioner contains a lot of shea butter and babassu oil which are great moisturizers that do not dull hair. My only complaint would be the strong lemon smell, but it fades after the hair dries. Besides, the lemon is what helps lighten my hair and bring out my natural blond highlights. I recommend this conditioner 100%!

When I use Avalon's products, particularly conditioners, there is a noticeable feeling that this is "really natural". Really enjoy this conditioner despite the relatively light texture.

I definitely didn't like this conditioner as much as other Avalon Organics conditioners I've tried. Maybe its the 'clarifying' quality to it, but my hair seemed more stripped, much more difficult to comb through than with their other products. The lemon smell is perfect, refreshing, natural lemon smell. My hair is thick, wavy, slightly dry, so it may work better for someone with more fine, oily hair.

The natural oils work very well on my curly hair. My hair is very textured and prone to drying and cracking but this conditioner keeps it moisturized without the need for a lot of other products. Since it also contains natural oils, it washes away nicely, too. I also find that after a few uses the oils help control frizzies and "hay-head" by keeping my hair in order. I only wish this product was more widely available. Thank you to Amazon for carrying it.

I have fairly sensitive skin and can get quite itchy if I use a shampoo or soap that has certain chemicals in it. So I've been on a quest to find soap, shampoo, and conditioner products that have fewer odd chemicals in this. My quest is challenging because I also donate my hair to charity every three years. So I need my hair to remain thick and healthy while I do this. Otherwise my charity donations will make recipients unhappy rather than happy.

The Avalon Organics Lemon Conditioner seemed like it would be just right for me. My boyfriend loves the aroma of lemon, so that would be a plus. It would have fewer chemicals. It says it restores natural highlights and color. It removes build-up. All great!

So I began trying it. First, the conditioner is very thick, and the container cannot sit on its lid. This means one has to really pound it to get the conditioner out. This is bad enough when the bottle is beginning, but by the end of the bottle it makes getting any out quite challenging. It means the last part of the bottle is wasted.

Next, the instructions say to massage it in "from the roots up". Hmmm. I'm not sure how that's even technically possible unless one had an eyedropper. If I have a dollop of conditioner on my hand, and I put it on my head, it is going to touch the top of my hair first. I then have to massage it down *towards* the roots. I don't see how I could get it to start at the roots and then work its way out.

The conditioner seems to get absorbed nearly instantly. That then means there isn't any left to "massage around" and get to the rest of the hair. Over my time with the bottle I used larger and larger (bordering on, to me, outrageous) amounts of conditioner on my hair. My hair is currently only just-past-shoulders length, too. It's not even at its full waist length point. I would put a giant dollop in my hand, start putting it on my hair, and it would vanish nearly instantly. It's not that my hair is super-dry either. If anything I'd call it slightly oily. So I never felt as if I was getting all my hair conditioned.

When I was done, the hair would feel squeaky clean which is a problem. When I then tried to comb or brush it, it would tangle. The hair was not detangling as most conditioners would do. It would catch on the brush or comb. So this meant more hair would pull out during the brushing process.

All of this was odd enough. I've tested many, many conditioners over the years and not had this combination of issues happen before. But then the clincher. I was out kayaking with my boyfriend recently, and he looked at my head and then took a picture of it. Apparently my hair is now turning white at a prodigious rate where I am putting most of the conditioner. I have dark hair. I do realize that many people with blonde hair use lemon juice to bleach their hair and make it lighter. I should have realized this would happen.

Because I am a sucker for punishment I will try the rosemary version to see if it's any better, and post a review there when I'm done testing. But I can unequivocally say that this lemon is just not for me. I would not recommend it for anyone with dark hair, or with long hair. It probably would be best for someone with short, blonde hair who likes the scent of lemon.

I purchased this conditioner with my own funds.
