Growing up, conditioner was always in demand at my family’s household. My sister and I had (and still have) long hair and were always running out. Our parents once jokingly asked us if we “drank the stuff” because we were always whining that we needed more.

Well, I will admit that I still use a lot of conditioner, so finding one that works well and is wallet-friendly is always good. TRESemme Colorthrive Brunette Conditioner is intended to enhance color vibrancy and, when used in conjunction with the whole Colorthrive line, protect color-treated hair.

I’m only using the conditioner, so I can’t attest to whether it really extends the life of hair color. But just using the conditioner on its own does make my color appear more vibrant and leaves my hair super shiny. After a conditioning, my hair is completely tangle-free and silky. The formula is very hydrating thanks to moisture-binding ingredients, but feels light and doesn’t weigh hair down.

At less than $4 a pop, it’s affordable enough for each sibling to have their own.
