Soap & Glory Hair Supply

I have been on a mission for smooth, sleek hair, so I have been trialling what feels like every deep conditioner in Boots. I picked up Soap & Glory's Hair Supply because my friend uses Soap & Glory hair products and raves about it. Before I start my review, I should point out my hair type. Very long, very thick, very coarse, and naturally very curly. Nightmare is the word I'd use to describe it ;) 

What do Soap & Glory say?

Soap & Glory Hair Supply® is a super gloss-giving radiance & repair mask treatment for all hair types. Leaves hair smooth and shiny; coats and controls split ends. Soap & Glory Hair Supply® has an ultra-light gel formula which nourishes and defrizzes but doesn't weigh hair down. After shampooing, squeeze excess water from your hair and apply a handful of HAIR SUPPLY massaging from roots to tips. Leave on for 60 seconds for a daily smooth, or 3-4 minutes for a more intensive weekly treatment. Soap & Glory® formulas are not tested on animals, only very picky people.

What do I say?

I was really excited to try this one as I am a fan of Soap & Glory products in general. The packaging is very cute and kitsch, they tend to smell fabulous and the products that I've tried so far do the job wonderfully. As expected, the packaging for Hair Supply is of the same standard - very cute and retro, plus it is in a tube. I loathe products designed for use in the bath/shower and not being in a tube. Water just gets into the tub or pot, and is just bleurgh. Tubes FTW!

The consistency of this conditioner is lovely. It reminds me of a gooey, thick, rich custard, though is really plyable and works through the hair with ease. I don't apply it at the roots (only through the lengths) and I did need quite a big dollop, but I do have very long, thick and coarse hair. The best bit is the smell - if you are familiar with The Righteous Butter or Flake Away scrub, you will know this smell. It is a strong, perfumed, floral scent, and though I find it overpowering in the body butter, it is perfect in the scrub and indeed this conditioner. The smell lingers on my hair for days after I use this too, regardless of what styling products I use on top.

So, thumbs up for the packaging, consistency and scent. How about performance? I've used this a fair few times now, and each time I leave it to treat for a different amount of time, depending on how rushed I am. The shortest has been 5 minutes, and the longest has been today, 20 minutes. Each time it has rinsed out easily and doesn't make my hair feel greasy with residue.

Once I dry my hair, it seems a bit shinier and quite sleek, but it doesn't feel like I've used a deep treatment, and it certainly doesn't 'repair'. To be fair, we all know that hair can't be repaired - if you have split ends the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off, so don't be sucked into that hype. My hair feels soft, don't get me wrong, but I get that feeling with my regular John Frieda conditioner. The plus point for this though, is that smell. Mmmm it is lush! It didn't weigh my hair down either, which I have experienced with other conditioning treatments, so yet another plus point.

Overall, I do really like this product. A deep 'repairing' conditioner it ain't, but an everyday conditioner? Yep, I definitely think so!

Price?

Hair Supply costs £6.38 for 200ml and is available in Boots. I don't think this is overpriced at all, as my regular shampoo and conditioner costs around the £6 mark.

Would I repurchase?

I wouldn't repurchase this as a deep conditioner, but I adore the way it made my hair smell. I think I would gladly use this after my regular conditioner, to give it a little extra moisture and of course the scent, but as a stand alone conditioner it isn't good enough for my hair type. I shouldn't imagine people with 'normal' or 'fine' hair having any problems though, and if anything I am intrigued to try other products from the Soap & Glory hair care range :)

Hope you found this review helpful. Have you tried Soap & Glory hair products before?
