Yesterday afternoon I mentioned that I had bought the April issue of Glamour Magazine for £2, and received this 100ml tube of Percy & Reed’s Splendidly Silky Moisturising Conditioner free with it.  The magazine states that this simple and funky looking hair treat is worth £11, and is described as being ‘A luscious, yet light blend of grape seed oil, sweet almond oil and aloe vera, which will help to restore natural softness’.

I used the conditioner this morning during my morning hair washing routine, after shampooing with my usual shampoo.  My hair gets quite greasy at the roots but drier towards the ends, so I rubbed a 10p sized amount of the conditioner into my hair from a few inches below the roots, downwards.  After leaving the conditioner in for one minute for, as the tube says, ‘extra conditioning’, I washed the it out thoroughly.  I then blow dried and straightened my hair as usual.

The first thing I noticed about the conditioner was the smell.  Having read that it contains grape seed, almond and aloe vera, I was expecting it to have a lovely sweet, fresh scent, but it actually smells quite chemically.  I made my mum have a sniff of it and she said it reminded her of public toilets after they’ve been cleaned – not nice at all!

Bad smell aside, the conditioner actually worked wonders on my hair.  I noticed immediately that my hair felt slightly smoother after being blow dried, which meant that straightening it was easier.  I asked my other half to feel my hair earlier today and he said that it felt softer than usual, and I have to say it really does feel ‘splendidly silky’!  Not only that, my hair has looked fuller all day, and has kept its bounce without going lank.

I’m not sure if I’d be willing to pay full price for this product, but as a freebie with a £2 magazine you are getting a fantastic deal.  No other conditioner has had such a quick effect on my hair before and I will definitely continue using this Percy & Reed Moisturising Conditioner!

Which Percy & Reed freebie did you get with your copy of Glamour mag?
