Pros: Weightless conditioning, shines, great for dry hair, great scent, no buildup
Cons: Only available in salons or beauty supply stores, I believe.
The Bottom Line: My long, fine hair needs moisture but no weight. PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner gives it shine and hydration and never weighs it down.

| PattyTherre's Full Review: Ales Groupe Phyto Organics Hydraide Moisturizing C... |
I have dry hair from highlighting and heat styling but I also have long, fine hair that is weighed down easily. My sister got PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner and didn't like it for her very curly, puffy hair so she gave it to me. Bonus!
I really like this conditioner. It does what it should without making my hair limp.

Manufacturer's Info
Packaging
This conditioner comes in either a 10.1 ounce size or a 33.8 ounce size which is the size I have. The large size come sin a white plastic pump bottle. I believe the smaller size comes in a teardrop shaped bottle that stands on its cap and opens with a flip top. Both are very simple bottles with no picture or anything on them. The conditioner is white and very silky feeling. It has a very pleasant scent. I like that it doesn't smell like flowers but more like orange and other citrus scents. It's a soothing scent that does linger on the hair but subtly.
My Experience
My sister's boss treated her to a hair cut, color, style, and hair products for her birthday. She came home a big bottle of shampoo and this bottle of PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner. She tried it a time or two but she needs conditioner than helps tame her very curly hair and, while this did condition her hair, it didn't weigh it down enough so she offered it to me.
That worked out perfect for me because the last thing I want is for my hair to be weighed down. So, I gave it a shot. I used one of my regular shampoos and then pumped out almost a palm size amount of the conditioner into my hand. It was fairly thick and smelled great.
That much conditioner covered my bra strap length hair from ends to roots with no problem. Obviously those with shorter hair need much less.
I left the conditioner on for a minute or so then rinsed. My hair felt very silky when I rinsed it and I was afraid I would end up with weighed down hair. I usually can feel when a conditioner is too much for my baby fine but thick hair.
After applying a light gel, I blew dried my hair and wow! It wasn't weighed down at all and looked shiny and very sleek. My hair felt soft and yet had bounce and wasn't so slick that I couldn't get the soft waves that I put in with a curling iron or flat iron to have my layers come toward my face to stay in.
My hair smelled good too. It didn't have a strong scent but I could smell a nice, fresh scent on my hair even after spraying lightly with finishing spray.
I used PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner several more times with different shampoos and it seems it doesn't matter what shampoo I use. This conditioner always does a good job of detangling, softening, shining, and hydrating without weighing my hair down at all. It really is weightless and, for someone like me who needs hydration but not added weight, this conditioner is perfect.
I have been using Hydraide for weeks along with one or two others and I have to say, I get superior results with this conditioner in general than my drugstore conditioners (that I actually like).
I definitely suggest this conditioner for those who want hydrated hair without all the added weight that many conditioners add.
Buying Info
I did a search for PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner and saw it selling at many hair care websites online. I believe it is only available in hair salons and at beauty supply stores offline. I have not seen it on the shelves at any drugstores. My sister got hers at a good hair salon. The cost online looks to be between $23.00 and $32.00 for the large 33.8 ounce size depending on where you buy it. The smaller size is much cheaper of course. The 33.8 ounce size lasts for ages from what I can tell from my use. I tend to use quite a bit each time I use it but the bottle is 4/5ths full still.
Conclusion
PHYTO Organics Hydraide Moisturizing Conditioner is a very good one for my type of hair. It's so hard to find a conditioner that adds moisture and makes my somewhat fried ends look better without sacrificing volume. With this one, I get the results I want and all the body and bounce in my hair stays intact. I wouldn't suggest this one for those who want to weigh their hair down like my sister did because it won't do that. It's best for those who want weightless conditioning. I can't think of a con so I will go with the coveted 5 star rating.
