| Cream Silk Fresh Hydration Conditioner |
This conditioner has 3 SKU’s. So there’s this 180mL tube.

And the 170mL tube is here beside the 340mL tube. There is also an 11mL sachet for this variant, though not pictured.

This is how it looks like once squeezed out of the tube. Texture wise, this is fluffier and lighter than the usual Cream Silk rinse off conditioner. If you have used Dove’s Oxygen and Nourishment before, this behaves a lot like the conditioner of that range. If there is whole cream milk, this feels like the skim milk edition, with a less heavy formula. Fragrance wise, this is soooo good! This smells like a tropical oasis version of Dry Rescue. Once your hair dries after using this, it will smell a lot like Dry Rescue, but fruitier. The lasting power is also great, because I can still smell the fragrance faintly, even at 12-14 hours after usage. The fact that my hair doesn’t smell like grease after a hot day is also another feat of this conditioner.

This is me right after using the product for the first time! My first impression was that my hair was bouncy and full of volume, which usually doesn’t happen with most other conditioners (with Unilever-mate Dove Oxygen and Nourishment being the only other exception). The difference between this and Dove Oxygen and Nourishment is that somehow, if I don’t obey the shampoo-conditioner combo, the results are not as optimal as I want them to be (as when the combo is used, the results are phenomenal). But with Cream Silk Fresh Hydration, I can use this with any shampoo and get steadily good results each time. I am very happy that despite how sweaty I can get in the afternoon, and after my morning workouts as of late, my hair does not get too greasy, and still has generally a good amount of volume and bounce throughout the day.
For this month, I attended a lot of nighttime blogger events, and that meant sweating in my workroom all afternoon long before going to the event. I liked that even if I was sweating all afternoon long, once I got to my evening event, my hair generally still looked and smelled fresh. Of course, hair that has dried from sweat is less volumized than freshly washed hair, but I’m already thankful. Usually, in the summer, by night time, my hair already looks as if I had applied pomade on it, due to how chunky and shiny it becomes!

This is how I look after about 3 weeks of continuous usage. Generally, I have been spoilt by volumized and nicely bouncy hair all month long! When I use this in conjunction with a little hair serum in the afternoon, I can get nicely fluffy but shiny hair like this, even in the evening. Hair is not sticky, even in the extreme heat and humidity of April! I think I can safely say that as far as my hair is concerned, their “Up to 24 Hours Fresh Feel” claim is true. But of course, this is subject to the hair condition and environment of each user, so I am not proclaiming it like it’s the law.
However, I will be realistic that if your hair is bleached, this will not provide the conditioning your hair needs. As I’ve mentioned in my past posts, my hair was bleached blonde in September 2016, and I just dyed over it in February 2018 and went back to being a brunette. Due to the veeeery slooooow pace of my hair growth, there is still about 3 inches of bleached hair on the ends. That’s how I noticed that somehow, when I use this conditioner, the dry patches from the previously bleached parts still make a special appearance. I thought about noting this because this does not happen when I am religiously using Cream Silk’s other products, especially their Triple Expert Rescue range. On the flipside, I super duper highly recommend Cream Silk Triple Expert Rescue for resurrecting bleached hair, because that really is one of the few saviors of fried hair.
I guess the summary is don’t bleach your hair unless deathly necessary so that you won’t have to deal with a lot of crazy hair behaviors like what I’ve dealt with hahaha
