Ingredient’s

Aqua,Hydroxyethylcellulose,Parfum,Dimethiconol,Sodium Benzoate,Polyquaternium-47,Citric Acid,Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropltrimonium Chloride,Panthenol,Argan Spinosa (Argan) oil,TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate,Magnesium Chloride,Magnesium Nitrate,Methylisothiazolinone,Methylchloroisothiazolinone,Hexyl Cinnamol,Butylphenyl Methylpropional,Linalool,Citronellol,Geraniol,Alpha-Isomethyllonone

What it says on the back:This lightweight,yet deeply nourishing leave in gel conditioner,with super conditioners including Argan Oil,repairs and reconditions hair for a smooth,healthy looking finish.Also adds heat protection during styling

I have nearly finished a whole bottle of this now and I have to say I really like it,it definatly helps to reduce frizz and makes hair very soft,I have used it on its own and with a gel on top and it makes my hair stay softer for longer than normal for me.Also it gives great shine.

The only thing is the amount you use,now and then I have gone abit over the top and have ended up getting abit greasy and weighed down after a day or 2

I’d def recommend it to try for a high street leave in

Edit:must add this is not a new product and is the old one which was originally in a blue packaging

oh yay, thank you for the review! I have been desperately looking for a leave in conditioner and spent two hours going shop to shop nearly gave up and bought a normal. managed to stop myself thinking I’ll check online and didn’t expect Charles Worthington to be CG. my hairs just been feeling weird and kind of chalky recently and the only thing I can think of is more moisture. I know it definitely needs more moisture and I think maybe that’s why its getting a little weird. Leave in is the only thing I can think of adding.

Tomorrow is the day! can’t wait! thank you!!!

oh maaaan :(
well at least I saw this now before heading of to get it tomorrow. do you know of any leave in conditioner available on high street?

I’m considering just getting jojoba oil at this rate. something light that i could just stick in to refresh curls and soften/add shine would have been just perfect

Yes, a low poo should remove dimethiconol (Curl Junkie Daily Fix should also remove).

Aw, I totally didn’t notice it had Dimethiconol in it either. I’ve been using that for a week or so now. To be honest I wasn’t head over heels for it anyway. I forsee a trip to Boots on the horizon for shampoo ........

Does anyone know if the Body shop rainforest leave in spray is any good ? I think that’s CG. I was going to get the DB Natural Coils leave in off the Emporium but thought I’d try a high street one first as I’ve never used a spray-in before. There’s not much price difference between the two though - my inner PJ keeps telling me I should have added it to the list, lol !

okay so i have returned from my shopping trip! and im a little happy as i found some things yay! and i did some self ingredient reading and recognising so i’m a little bit prouf of my self.

Got some jojoba oil
pentene perfect curls mousse
and boots botanics leave in conditioner. now this is where im worried as far as i could see no cones, therea a PEG 40…which i believe is ok no cones as far as i can see, oh nearly burst out when i saw a polyquatarium but its a polyquatarium10 so its okay as well few! only one thing remaining…are we meant to loo out for parabens? just saw them on the list but i thought hmm haven’t read anything about parabens anywhere so went ahead and got it. any1 used this b4? do i haaaaave to type up the ingredients lol shut eye 

CrystalTips… i didn’t have it in me to buy a cone! lol after all this hard work, even though when i left i was thinking thats it! i’ve had enough but then i couldn’t lol

Cupcake Queen..i was in body shop the other day looking for it myself. they only have a detangling spray, i didn’t end up getting it because i don’t really have a problem with tangles but i use the shampoo and hair mask and have tried the conditioner all the products are really good so worth a try i would say. they only have 1 product to match though, wish they had more!

Hi Curlyhairmich,

thank you for the reply ..i just thought I’d double check. switching to all natural skin care as well you see and need to watch out for parabens in skin care ranges so the thought just crossed my mind when i saw it.

thank you for the help every one! much appreciated :D

here I go again, doing a another wash with normal shampoo and beginning over fresh hopefully this will sort my hair out and get rid of this new chalky weird feeling that keeps coming back a day or two after washing!
