Deep Conditioner Rave!! -- Aussie & Neutrogena

I'm going to start off reviewing the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeeeeep Conditioner($3).
What it claims: Deeeeeply intense conditioning, accented with Australian aloe, penetrates dry or damaged hair. Sure, it's really deep and super intense. But Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deeeeep Liquid Conditioner, accented with natural Australian aloe and jojoba oil, has a playful side too. Quick and easy for no-worries hair. Deep conditioning for damaged do's. Super deep conditioning for a seriously simple fix to dry, damaged hair. It's your own little miracle.
What I think: The texture of it is really thick and it comes out of a strangely shaped bottle. The opening of the bottle is upside down but there is a little filter than only lets product out when you squeeze the bottle. It's very convenient because all you have to do is squeeze, and it's easier to get every last bit out this way. It smells very strongly of coconut and the scent lasts for quite a while, so if you're not a huge fan of coconut then you might not like the scent of this deep conditioner. I applied it to my hair after squeezing out excess water from my hair after shampooing. I tucked my hair under a shower cap and continued to shower while it sit for about 5-7 minutes. It claims to only need 3 minutes to work, but a little extra time doesn't hurt. It's a very moisturizing deep conditioner and you can tell right when you rinse it off. My hands just slip right through my hair and my hair is completely tangle free. After i blow dry it, my hair is really soft, silky, and shiny, just the way I like it. As an added bonus, the bottle only cost $3!!! It's such a great bargain for people who want beautiful hair but are on a budget. It lasted me quite a while. I used this about 1-2 times a week just to keep my hair in good shape because my hair was damaged by my use of heat styling and as a result, became very dry.
So next is my review of the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask($8.49)
What it claims: Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask rehabilitates extra dry or over-processed hair with intense moisturization. This weekly treatment is so concentrated, just a small amount is needed for hair to become soft, lustrous and shining in minutes. Three naturally derived extracts work on the hair strand to defy dryness. Olive penetrates to the center, Meadowfoam Seed helps moisturize the middle and Sweet Almond wraps the surface. Treat your hair to intense moisture with this once-a-week conditioning mask.
What I think: If you thought my review of the Aussie deep conditioner was extremely positive... wait til you read this review. It completely lives up to what it claims. I've heard so many people rave about how fantastic this deep conditioner is, so I was pretty much expecting it to do some magic on my dry, heat damaged hair. And boy, it did magic. It comes in a little tub which is absolutely great for getting out every last bit of product. It is extremely thick, so thick I would compare it to hair pudding. It has a bit of a soft, fruity/almondy scent. A lot of people like the scent, and a lot of people don't. It's really just up to personal preferences. After I rinsed this deep conditioner out, I was so amazed. My hair was just so silky and smooth and my fingers seriously just slid right through my hair. However, do be careful in the shower because it makes the bathtub very slippery. After I blow dried my hair, the results were even better than the Aussie Deep Conditioner. It's that amazing, no joke.
Conclusion: If you are someone with damaged, over processed, dry hair, then both deep conditioners will be perfect for you. In fact, it's perfect for normal hair, too. It might be too thick for people with fine hair though. If you are on a budget, then the Aussie Deep Conditioner is the way to go, but if you have a few extra dollars to spend, then I suggest you purchase the Neutrogena one. Hopefully you guys will acheive the same results I did! I love how my hair feels now. Keep rockin' that hair, ladies!
