REVIEW: Redken Diamond Oil Conditioner

 

~AG~

Redken Diamond Oil Conditioner has been my go-to conditioner for about a month now. So here is my review on this expensive conditioner. I purchase it at AMK Venus Beauty for $22.90. This is probably the priciest conditioner that I have ever bought.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I was looking for a more hydrating conditioner to use while using my anti-hair loss shampoo. http://beautyloverssisters.blogspot.sg/2014/12/new-buy-redken-diamond-oil-conditioner.html

Everyday, after I shampoo with Dae Gi Meo Ri Vitalizing Shampoo, I apply  a 50-cent (quarter) coin amount.  The conditioner is applied to the bottom half of my hair, concentrating on the ends. I leave it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing it out with cold water.

For some reason, whenever the term "oil" is used, I will assume that the product will be too greasy for my liking. The conditioner is a cream texture, like many other hair masks or deep conditioners. It is absorbed easily into the hair. When I rinse it off with cold water, I find that I do not have to rinse as long as other conditioners to get if off. My hair does not feel heavy after using this conditioner. It is surprisingly light for a heavy-duty conditioner. After using it for some time, I do find that it helps disguise my split ends. Even thought the use of anti-hair loss shampoo such as Dae Gi Meo Ri Vitalizing Shampoo is supposed to cause my hair to be dry, I find that I do not have such problem with the help of Redken Diamond Oil Conditioner. It keeps my frizzy hair somewhat in control, and I do find that my hair is smoother because of it.

Overall, I will re-purchase this conditioner because of how easily it rinses off and that it does not weigh down my hair. However, I will not buy it from Venus Beauty anymore. I found that Beauty Language and British Essentials retails it at a much more cheaper price @ $17-19.

NEW BUY: Redken Diamond Oil Conditioner

 ~AG~  

Since my conditioner was running low, I decided to shop around for a new one. Currently, I am using Essential Rich conditioner. This time, I decided to look for a more moisturizing conditioner since I will be trying the Dae Gi Mae Ro anti-hair loss shampoo. Since anti-hair loss shampoo can dry out the hair, I will need a "heavier" conditioner. My hairstylist, Gilbert, uses Redken products, so I decided to try one of their conditioners. 

Buying shampoos and hair products from salon tend to be more expensive. A more affordable alternative is to buy high-end hair products from shops such as Venus Beauty, Red Tomato and such, which sells the products at a much cheaper price. Skeptics said shampoos and hair products sold in those shops are not authentic or that the products have been diluted. However, from my experience, the shampoos and conditioners work just as well.  

The shampoo I bought was Redken Diamond Oil Conditioner from Venus Beauty @ AMK. It retailed for $22.90. This is one of the most expensive conditioners that I have bought, I hope it is worth the price.   

Redken official website mentioned that this conditioner contains coriander, camelina and apricot oils which moisturize hair strands and prevent it from breakage. Hair oils are known to be good for dry and frizzy hair. This is probably the "richest" conditioner that Redken has on the market. 

I cannot wait to try this conditioner. I hope it moisturizes my hair and prevents further split ends from occuring.  

Please stay tuned, and I will let you all know whether this conditioner is worth the buy.
