I like so many Burt's Bees products, but I'd never even heard of Burt's Bees Shea and Grapefruit Deep Conditioner ($8) until reader Yogaforlife reviewed it. It sounds great, though, and I'm really glad she mentioned it. She says:

When you're on crutches, even the smallest tasks can be daunting. (You just try to carry a glass of water while carrying yourself. Can't be done.) In the name of simplicity, I've minimized my grooming routine, which means that I haven't been blow-drying my hair.

You might know that I'm a huge proponent of colored conditioners as a quick, inexpensive way to keep color looking fresh. Whether it's your natural shade you want to highlight, or your professionally dyed locks that need a boost, a good colored conditioner once or twice a week will perk your style right back up — or will it? Recently, reader Gooz1231 tried out John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Daily Conditioner ($7), and wasn't too pleased with the results.

The season is just under way, but your locks don't have to look abused by heat, chlorine, and/or windy days. Reader Jjasinsk gave Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Leave-In Treatment ($18) a whirl after experiencing some damage to her hair, and here's what she thought:
I've never had much faith in products that claim to repair damaged hair, but this product has really performed. After compulsively using Sun-In on my hair for a year, the front sections were broken, matted, and elastic.

The other day, I featured Brandysbug's review of the shampoo, and now it's time to hear what she had to say about John Frieda's Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Conditioner ($8), a hydrating product that helps create healthier hair at the roots. Here she goes:
I usually have to apply a hair mask because my hair gets dry, damaged, and unruly without it. The Root Awakening shampoo and conditioner have made my hair shiny and healthy-looking and have made me happy!

It's Earth Day, a great time to take a second look at what ingredients are found in your everyday beauty products. L'Oreal's EverPure Volume Conditioner in Rosemary Mint ($7) is a new favorite of Emalove's, and here's why:
I bought this conditioner (and the matching shampoo) at Ulta a few weeks ago, and I'm so glad I did. These days, I always buy haircare products that are eco-friendly and don't contain sulfates and all those other harsh chemicals.

Along with its aromatherapy benefits, eucalyptus comes with a smell all its own. If it were a food, I'd call it an acquired taste. I like the earthy, slightly medicinal scent, so I was excited to test out this new Root Awakening line featuring natural eucalyptus and essential oil.

If your daily styling routine includes a dollop of leave-in conditioner, consider Hydrate Botanica ($20) this season. Since it's even more important to keep hair hydrated in cold and dry weather, using a moisture rich product can de-stress your hair . .
