5.0 out of 5 stars I love this stuff, October 14, 2006

This is the second season I've used this conditioner to extend the duration of my color. I have medium brown hair and I like to go lighter in the spring/summer and darker in fall/winter. I have my hair professionally colored and then use Biolage shampoo. After shampooing, I mix the Aveda clove with Biolage conditioner and add a touch of Aveda madderroot conditioner and get the most beautiful and natural color! It easily adds 6 weeks to the duration of my color. It sounds like a lot of work, but really isn't. As a working mom of 3, I need to be able to get from shower to minivan in as little as 30 minutes some days!

One caution: it can stain shower and/or hands so watch out if you splash. Comes out with Comet or other similar bathroom cleaners and simple soap for skin.

I am SO impressed with this product! I have naturally dark dirty blonde hair but have been bleaching my hair for the past decade. After my hair started becoming brittle and completely unmanagable (and after getting sick of the bleach blonde look) I decided to go brunette. 2 months ago I went to the salon and went from bleach blonde to chocolate brown. My stylist used a demi-permenant glaze (only supposed to last 16-20 shampoos) and warned me since it was my first time having my hair dyed a darker shade and especially because my hair is so poreous, I would most likely have to have my hair dyed again in around 3 weeks. She recommended buying the Aveda Clove conditioner to help prolong my color. I was skeptical because $18 is a bit steep compared to what I usually spend on hair products, but I trust my stylist and took her suggestion and I am SO glad I did! 2 months later my hair is STILL a rich chocolate brown! There has been very minimal fade and considering I've spent a lot of time at the beach in the blazing sun in the salty ocean water, I cannot believe my hair color has lasted as long as it has.

To try to make my color last longer as well as improve the overall condition of my hair, I only shampoo my hair every few days. I use a clarifying shampoo once a week or so and a heat defense shampoo when I do have to blow dry/straighten my hair. Although this is a conditioner, I can't really say much for it's moisturizing properties. I need a really rich intense conditioner to replenish loss of moisture and softness in my hair and this does only a so-so job. What I usually do is after shampooing, I slather the Clove conditioner all over my hair being sure to work it in really well (wash those hands well afterwards because it's dark brown and does stain skin!) I let it sit for a couple of minutes, then I apply my usual deep conditioner right over it and let everything sit on my hair for 10-15 minutes. Then I just rinse and style as usual and my hair comes out shiny and healthy looking and still basically maintains the same depth of color as it had 2 months ago!

There is no question that my hair color has lasted as long as it has because of this conditioner. I had also bought the John Frieda Brunette Glaze to compare to this one, and there honestly is no comparison. The few times I used the JF glaze in place of the Clove conditioner I noticed an immediate dullness in my hair once it dried. I'd rather spend the extra $8 and get a product that truly works! Not to mention this conditioner lasts a long time. I use a very generous amount and after 2 months I still have 1/4 tube left. Considering I went from one color extreme to another and because my hair is so fragile and poreous it's been such a pleasant surprise that I still have this nice rich brunette shade. For as long as I have brunette hair, I will continue buying this conditioner! If this conditioner prolongs the life of my demi-permenant glazed and previously stripped-of-all-color hair, I have no doubt it well work for anyone!! And a really nice bonus is this conditioner contains a lot of healthy all natural ingredients AND is animal-friendly! I don't think it gets any better than that!

I have red hair, and this makes my hair a nice shade of darker auburn. Be careful to rinse off the walls and floor of the shower, because this stuff can stain. Also, be sure to comb it all the way through your hair while it's soaking in. I usually put it in before using my body wash, because then you're able to wash the color off your hands. I think it has just enough conditioning properties, but it works wonders if you mix a little bit of your regular conditioner in with it when applying. Warning: Don't use on blond hair, when I had highlights, it made the blond look like a dingy brown-grayish color.
