User Feedback: Cake Lustrous Shine Conditioner
Following are example user reviews (edited for style), selected for their anecdotal insights on product form and function.
- Leaves hair smooth and silky, with really nice shine and healthier-looking, no doubt. Helped with fuzz and brushing was a breeze. Price is super affordable and bottle will last me good while even with my longer hair because you don’t need a ton of product here.
- It has a really nice fresh scent and the shampoo and conditioner just feel soooo luxurious that you just know your hair and scalp are happy. ... I’ve never had a problem with their products weighing my hair down or making it feel greasy.
- Makes hair luxuriously soft and doesn’t build up. Smell is very nice, too.
- The conditioner was easy to dispense from the bottle with a gentle squeeze. I let it sit in my hair for a couple minutes before rinsing, and I was able to run my fingers through my hair while preparing to rinse...
- The conditioner rinsed out easily without leaving any residue. I also like how easy it was to brush my hair once I pulled it out of a towel. I haven't used it enough to know if it will help the frizz I've been dealing with.
- The conditioner does well to soften and smooth the hair.
- My daughter has wavy curly hair and this makes her hair soft and shiny.
