I bought this Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit & Sugarbeet Conditioner for my boyfriend, whose hair is longer than mine. He didn’t take a shine to it, or it to him, whichever, but I used it up and then bought another bottle. That is saying a lot, because I am so squarely in the try-anything-once camp that the only things I’ve ever bought two of are shoes.
It’s a nice, light conditioner
that doesn’t make my hair droop, but what I’m compelled by is the scent. I know the label says grapefruit and sugarbeet, but to me it smells like fresh-cut geraniums: tart and earthy, fresh without a hint of sugariness. I’ve had grapefruit hair products before, including an apocryphal grapefruit and rosemary shampoo by a long-defunct company by which all shampoos are measured. This isn’t in that league, but then nothing ever will be, by definition.
