Mane 'n Tail // Gentle Replenishing Conditioner Review

Mane 'n Tail // Gentle Replenishing Conditioner
RRP £6.99 for 355ml

This is a full size 355ml tube that I bought from TK Maxx for £4.99.

First Impressions:

It smells wonderful; like sugar-coated almonds and marzipan cake frosting. I would eat this conditioner if I could. It has a light, lotion consistency but spread through my hair nicely. I could easily detangle my hair whilst in the shower.

Usage
First use - October 2019
Last use - January 2020

Would I buy it: Maybe.

Overall Impressions:

I like this conditioner; it's nice but I'm not sure if it did anything outstanding for my hair. I think maybe it's just a bit to light to help keep my curls and frizz in place. I'd say this is definitely more for finer hair types. It does contain some oils and proteins so it could help with structure and prevent breaking however if you use these types of products too much without hydration, it could end up damaging your hair more. It always best to use different products depending on how your hair is looking/feeling. I liked using this to detangle though, so if I saw it on offer for less than a fiver then I would probably buy it.

Straight Arrow Mane 'n Tail // Moisturizer-Texturizer Conditioner Review

Mane 'n Tail // Moisturizer-Texturizer Conditioner 
RRP £4.49 for 355ml

This was a 60ml sample that I received in a Latest In Beauty box a few months ago.

First Impressions

This has weird, generic conditioner scent to it. It's also annoying that it's not in a squeezy bottle, getting product out of the bottom of these Mane 'n' Tail sample bottles is a nightmare.

Usage

The 60ml lasted me two uses as I have butt length hair. To be honest if I could've gotten it out of the bottle I would've used it in one go. Afterwards, my hair was silky soft even without applying my myriad of products. For some info on my hair type, I have mixed Afro/Caucasian hair with a tight coil curl on the lower half and a more relaxed coil on the top half.

Would I Buy This Product: Yes. I've already purchased a full size bottle that I found in TK Maxx.

Overall Impressions:
I love this brand. I remember first reading about it in a Meg Cabot novel in about 2001. It was "All American Girl" and the protaganists sister uses it on her hair as it's described as "unruly" and the only way to "tame" it is to use the products used on horses. After using it, the main character notes how her hair feels amazing. I'm not sure if Meg Cabot was in cahoots with Mane 'n Tail but that scene has stayed with me for almost twenty years and I'm glad the brand has finally made it's way over to the UK as it truly tames my unruly hair.

The products do smell a little chemically but they work and they're a great price.
