Aussie Sydney Smooth Conditioner review

I tried the Aussie 3 minute miracle and from that point I was hooked on Aussie products.  Over Thanksgiving, I reported that I got a family size, pump and all, of the Aussie Moist Conditioner.  Well...then I started sticking my nose where it didn't belong and ended up feeling the need to try the Sydney Smooth too.  I had already raised an eyebrow in regard to it while in the stores, but hadn't read many reviews or heard people talking about it, so I decided I would be the one to talk about it.


I watched a youtube video that described the smell as being that of the old school Herbal Essences- strong floral scents.  I really, really liked old school HE fragrances (pours a little liquor onto shower floor)-RIP.  Syndney Smooth does smell similar to that.  Not spot on, but vaguely reminiscent...I think it's the best description one could give.

Performance is exceptional.  I  haven't used it very much alone and not as a deep conditioner.  It is definitely thinner than the 3 minute miracle and Aussie Moist...BUT far from runny.  When I deep conditioner, I co-wash with this conditioner because it is in my shower....it keeps my hair detangled and definitely smoothed my cuticles.  I was able to easily gather my tightly coiled hair in the back into a ponytail while rinsing and the front of my hair usually has tons of frizz and flyaways, but after using this, my hair laid down nicely.

I only have good things to say about the Aussie line from what I've tried.  Using the 3-minute miracle as a styler has continued to make my hair soft, moisturized, and shiny without being heavy or greasy.  Moisturized strands do not need to leave residue on your hands to prove that they are retaining moisture...they need to be shiny, soft, and pliable.

If you haven't taken the Aussie leap yet, do it!  It's mutli-functional and a cheap go-to line.  If it doesn't work as a cowash, try it as a leave-in.  Maybe mix it with some oils and honey for a deep treatment.  The line is more versatile than the creators of Aussie probably even realize.  It's just another way we tightly curly people have figured out how to make things work for us in a world that seeminly forgot about the needs of our hair.  The solutions are there, we will just have to apply them in differnt ways to get the desired results.

Be happy!
