Outlines
🧴 Drugstore Conditioner Test Introduction
The video script begins with the host introducing a test of drugstore conditioners, following a previous test on shampoos. The aim is to find an affordable and effective conditioner. Four popular brands—Dove, Herbal Essences, TRESemmé, and OGX—are selected for testing based on their popularity and hydrating properties. The host plans to assess their performance through a hands-on test on hair strands that have been intentionally dried out for accurate results.
🌿 Herbal Essences and TRESemmé Conditioner Analysis
The script continues with the examination of Herbal Essences' conditioner, noting its attractive blue color and eco-friendly packaging. The product is cruelty-free and has a short ingredient list, including coconut oil and corn extract. The host finds the conditioner's texture pleasant and not overly sticky. Following Herbal Essences, TRESemmé's conditioner is critiqued for its packaging but praised for its large size and affordability. The ingredient list includes ceramides, known for their hydrating properties, and the product is tested for its texture and scent, which, while strong, is not as overpowering as Dove's.
🥥 OGX Coconut Milk Conditioner Review
The third paragraph focuses on OGX's Coconut Milk conditioner, which, despite the host's personal dislike for coconut oil, is evaluated for its packaging and ingredients. The conditioner is sulfate-free, not tested on animals, and contains a blend of hydrating and protective ingredients like glycerin, coconut oil, and panthenol. The scent is strongly coconut-based, and the texture is described as gooey yet hydrating. The host tests the conditioner on a hair strand, noting its detangling properties and the pronounced coconut smell.
🏆 Final Verdict on Drugstore Conditioners
In the final paragraph, the host compares the conditioned hair strands to an unconditioned one, ranking the conditioners from least to most favorite. Dove ends up in fourth place due to its strong scent and average performance. TRESemmé takes third place, praised for its value but criticized for its scent and packaging. Herbal Essences comes in second, appreciated for its scent, price, and effectiveness. OGX wins first place, with the host noting its significant improvement in hair softness despite the strong coconut smell. The host concludes by recommending viewers to try these products, especially OGX, if on a budget.
📞 Viewer Engagement and Hair Care Tips
The script concludes with the host engaging with viewers, encouraging subscriptions, likes, and notifications. They share their contact information for direct communication and promote their hair care brand, X Model Hair. Additionally, the host provides a shoutout to a viewer named Britney, offering advice on enhancing her curly hair with specific products and discouraging her from cutting her long hair, which is admired in its current state.

hi beautiful today we're testing
drugstore
conditioners previously we had tested
drugstore shampoos i found out some
really interesting things while trying
the shampoos out it was
quite mind-blowing and um intriguing if
you guys want to see that video of me
testing drugstore shampoos it is linked
below but today is focused on
conditioners we're going to try and find
a conditioner today that is
very inexpensive and affordable that
maybe
i can approve of and be okay with you
using we're not setting the bar too high
it's way down low but it's gonna be fine
i have four different brands right
beside me that emma
snatched up from the local drugstore how
did you find these recommended by
somebody oh yeah these were like the
most sought out conditioners
so she did some investigation work with
her little fingers and
found the top four most commonly bought
conditioners to hydrate your hair today
we'll be testing dove herbal essence
tresemme and ogx all these conditioners
i'll be using today are
hydrating i want to see what the big
difference is beforehand and
after hand on these hair strands i'll be
testing it on so hydrating seemed to be
the best
and easiest way to figure that out i'm
excited let's get testing
and let's see which conditioner ranks
supreme let's do it
[Music]
okay up first we have
here we go we have dove
can you see it oh there it is i saw this
packaging in the last video
but it is 100 recycled and we kind of
love that however it's definitely not
the cutest thing in the world if you're
going for like oh man i want to have
like a chic conditioner
this ain't your thing i do like the snap
cap really cute this is cruelty free
which
we love and support and we fully fully
want that in every product please
this is 12 fluid ounces which is pretty
much
average that's a good amount of product
i appreciate that this product retails
for
5.29 very
affordable in my opinion dove
conditioner with buyer nourish contains
a blend of hair strengthening nutrients
and a unique blend of micro nourishing
complex that
instantly smooths even the most damaged
hair is that true
i wonder what they put in here to make
that happen so the ingredient list says
water some of us know that one you know
you know that one
well you don't really drink any water
you probably you probably don't know
so we also uh have here cetera alcohol
which is totally normal
we have this long one that says stereo
middle
propyl dimethylene mean which from our
quick research
just a additive that makes water and oil
go together and it's also good for hair
and protects it
fragrance very high on the list which we
found last time to with the shampoo
and it really makes the scent last on
your hair so if you like a lasting
really really strong scent this is your
girl so i also see lactic acid on here
which is weird because i know that's
inside your body but
i've never seen it in a conditioner um
it apparently
uh maintains the ph level of your hair
which i do appreciate that other than
that we have coconut oil which you guys
know what coconut oil is i don't really
love coconut oil but at least we have an
oil in here we also have arginine in
here which
is an amino acid and that is found in
keratin so
that's great too not the worst
ingredient list i'm actually a little
intrigued
okay now for the smell test
it's very overpowering and it smells
like
candy like sour candy which i love i
would eat this
for sure i just wouldn't want that
lingering scent on my hair
maybe that's just me i don't know okay
let's touch it now listen it definitely
feels very slippery and smooth and my
finger feels hydrated it's not sticky it
feels nice
it's very slippery it feels very
moisturizing and the scent is obviously
very overpowering like i said 100 times
okay let's test this out so just let you
guys know to make this hair
really really dry and crispy that way we
can see how effective this
moisturizing conditioner is we washed
this twice with dawn dish soap so it is
feeling
really drying nasty we're gonna dip this
in
the water and we'll get a little bulb
and we
will comb this through the hair with our
hands the scent is is in my face
it is there i mean dove guys it feels
soft it feels nice so let's just do that
i'll do a little dunkaroo and get that
off of there
it feels slippery and nice um can't tell
much yet but let's move on to the next
product
up next we have whoa where did that come
from herbal essence
i like the presentation only because the
inner
stuff in here is blue and i love a
colored conditioner
i just think it adds the experience and
it's really fun other than that it's a
pretty basic bottle but it is a custom
bottle and they have a little herbal
essence on the top of this and i
like a custom moment um this is a hello
hydration conditioner
zero percent parabens mineral oil this
says
revel in lush aromas this bottle is
recycled
also dope it's cruelty free
dermatologist tested i love it made with
zero waste i mean it's pretty impressive
this is 11.7 fluid ounces and this
retails for 6.29 all right the
ingredient list is very short i did
notice that
uh it says water cool again awesome
bentronomium
chloride which is a pretty common
ingredient that we use in some of our
conditioners and it is an anti-static
ingredient totally okay with that
obviously it's anterior alcohol
normal we have coconut oil which i keep
repeating this but
i'm not the biggest fan of you know if
you are go with it there's also corn
extract in here and we've been
researching it and we can't find out
what the hell it is or why it's in here
honestly we found something about
bedwetting if you have a bed wetting
issue maybe this is the conditioner for
you
we have some flour extract we have some
fragrance perfume
and some dye totally normal let's smell
it
this one definitely smells like coconut
is much better than the previous one the
dove one
it's a lot less scent and the perfume is
actually
really low on the list herbalism has
really been like doing something for me
lately it's kind of weird
let's give it a feel oh it is really
blue it's funny because on your fingers
you can actually feel it like
filling in the dryness and it makes it
really slippery and soft on your fingers
i actually do like this
and it's not sticky and it's not too
thick i enjoy it now
let's give this a test on a hair strand
a little dungaroo
a little dollop it feels nice
very detangling the smell is stronger on
the hair than in the bottle
it also makes my hands a little tingly
my hands are gonna be so moisturized
after this
i'm gonna let this dry and let's move on
to the next conditioner up next
we have tresemme is there like thing
trust me trust me
yeah the bottle to me is heinous why is
it a triangle
i just hate that the cap isn't the same
color as the front of the bottle it's
like gold and then bronze
anyways presentation really lacks for me
tresemme used by professionals
where this says ultimate hydration with
moisture complex
uh it's a system for long-lasting
hydration it is a recycled
plastic it is not cruelty free that i
see here
which is really sad give your hair the
hydration it needs to restore life back
to your locks
our moisture complex with ceramides
infuses each strand with an
intense boost of dehydration locking it
in to leave your hair feeling soft and
smooth after each use
ceramides are really cute really trendy
really nice and a great thing to add to
your conditioner this is
22 fluid ounces and it retails for 6.79
that is
a lot of product for a little amount of
money
wow to make something that cheap and
have that much in a bottle you must be
cutting some corners i mean
you just have to or you're making a cent
per product i don't know what they're
doing but they're probably just selling
a lot of them and making a very low
commission on them i may never know
looking at the ingredient list here it
says water
we have some cetera alcohol we have
ceramides in here which is great for
moisture retention
to help fix damaged hair you can find
that in skincare also
i see lysine on here which helps
collagen production
kind of cute ingredients and again we
have arginine and lactic acid i do like
these ingredients
it seems to be a little bit more
elaborate than a previous
two conditioners we just reviewed it's
like enough ingredients
it's not too much time for the smell
test actually this is like the most
intense part of all because they never
smoke it so let's see what happens here
okay definitely better than the dove one
i don't hate this it still smells like
sour candy but it's like a little bit
less sour than the dove one
it's not the worst it smells very clean
but definitely like
overpowering clean also the fragrance
it's in the middle of the list
pretty average place to put it not too
much not too little now let's put on my
fingertip and let's test it out
this one feels a little more runny than
the other two this is a little
thinner but still pretty much feels the
same let's give this a shot on a hair
strand and let's see
what happens all right let's do a little
dunkaroo
let's do a little dollop the scent is
strong but nice it's not the worst scent
feels
quite like the other ones let's do a
little dunker to get this off
i mean this one feels extra slippery all
right we'll dry that up and let's move
on to the next conditioner
all right up next we have ogx which
actually
stands for organics believe it or not
some people don't know that some people
do
some people are shocked by that i was
one of those people who were shocked by
that i had no idea
we have coconut milk conditioner like
the coconut
thing it's really a lot people get so
obsessed with a particular product every
year and it's funny to me because people
don't even know if it's actually good
for them they just use it because
everybody else is using it coconut oil
is one of those things that i really
don't love at all i actually hate
coconut oil personally but
you do your own research on that the
bottle is actually really cute i do like
it i think it's a little more
trendy and new i like that the cat
matches the front of the bottle i like
they put the main ingredients in the
front and try to get you to understand
the product better i
like the roundness of it it seems very
easy to squish so
cool and i like a little flip cap this
says sulfate free
not test on animals love love love and
it's all about recycling we love that
too
it says why you want it it's like a trip
to the tropics in a bottle i love that
this is some ex-mono the luxury creamy
hydrating blend
helps leave your hair feeling
moisturized glowing and super soft this
is
13 fluid ounces and it retails for 9.29
by far the most expensive one today and
the cheapest one was dove so let's keep
that in mind that one was 5.29
and this is 9.29 so it's a pretty big
jump so let's see if it's worth it
the ingredient list says water they love
the water huh
it's like we don't have showers these
days they're like there's no such thing
as
water and water water emma
cassidy was a joke
we have glycerin very high up on the
list which attracts moisture
we have coconut oil which we just went
over a million times we have more
coconut and that looks like coconut milk
or something
we have safflower seed oil we have
panthenol which is pro vitamin b5
great great for your hair which helps
protect against damage
and we have ovum on here which is egg
powder making this product
not vegan all right well the ingredient
list
actually has some really great things
and a lot of additives that don't need
to be there but are because it makes it
a little more luxurious and that is what
you get for the price is a little more
zinger and ingredient-less you know what
i mean guys let's do a quick
smell test i think this is going to
smell a heavy of coconut
i mean yeah it's is a little coconut
milk on it it just smells like coconut i
don't like the smell of coconut that
much
but it's not bad it smells no this
smells like like i literally just got
off the beach
in tahiti like going into my suite
literally like gonna shower
after like a little bit of a sunburn
okay
do you want to taste that let's put this
on my finger
and they all feel really similar this
feels exactly the same it's a little
more gooey than the other ones
i don't know it's hydrating feels fine
let's test it on the real hair strands
now we got our dry
hair strand let's give it a dunk let's
do a little dollop on the hand
and the good old hands love these things
and the coconut smell
is very overpowering and strong i mean
like it is
definitely there it feels like it's
detangling quite nicely though i can
really rub my hands through it
love that it's cute it feels like the
other ones let's rinse that off and
wow this feels actually a little bit
better than the other ones this feels
very slippery i'm gonna go ahead and dry
all the hair strands
and then i'll be back to figure out
which one
feels the softest and works the best all
right now it's time for the touch
test now we have our constant here which
is the one that has not been conditioned
so we're going to compare every other
hair strand to this one the first
specimen please we have dove okay
it looks a bit smoother it feels just
slightly smoother
nothing too silky soft not very
impressed this is herbal essence i'm
rooting for herbal essence just because
i
last time it went well let's see here
this one's definitely noticeably
smoother than the dove one
it feels very much detangled it looks a
bit
shinier just slightly it's kind of hard
to tell on camera but
the ends seem a little less frayed
and broken this one feels pretty good i
like this
all right now we have tresemme and
tresemme
feels good too definitely feels smoother
than the one that has not been
conditioned which i would hope so but it
feels a
noticeable amount softer and it looks
very shiny and the little flyaways seem
to be
tamed a lot better i think that herbal
essence was definitely softer though
oh it's called the gx lassic
coconut you whisper coconut milk
and i was like coconut milk
guys if that's the name you wrote
she wrote coconut milk this one is
noticeably softer than the others like
very much so it is silky smooth the
smell
it smells like coconut it's very strong
it looks very healthy and glowy and
shiny
this one to me stands out by far i
really like this this is before
this is after all right now that i've
felt all the conditioners and
seen what they can do it is time for my
final thoughts from
least favorite to most favorite in order
in fourth place we have
dove guys step it up are the ingredient
lists not the worst not the best
kind of black didn't make the hair that
soft and i hate the scent
in third place we have tresemme
this is very large and it's very
inexpensive this is 6.79 for 22 ounces
like i said before
i mean that's really really great and
very affordable other than that
um the ingredient list was like decent i
hate the bottle
and the scent was it's pretty bad and it
also made the hair like
soft but not the softest i could do
without this for sure
in second place purple essence
still not mad at this one and honestly
for the price it could easily come in
first
it is 11 ounces and it's only 6.29
cheap and the ingredient list was decent
it made the hair quite soft
i did like the scent i like the bottle
and i like the presentation
not bad at all and in first place you
guys already know it's
ogx this one was great i don't like
coconut
but if you do like coconut and you want
an ogx product this
is quite nice this does have egg whites
in it so it's not vegan which was the
saddest part for me
it's a pretty decent product and it is
quite inexpensive
at nine dollars and what cents 29.
29 and it is 13 ounces which is not too
small either after using this on the
hair strand it was significantly softer
this is our winner for today
congratulations
okay well again very surprised my
findings they were
much better than the shampoo one in my
opinion they're not the worst
not the best definitely not salon
professional quality but doable
and if you're balling on a budget go for
it try some of these products see what
