Was really excited to see Cindra back on the market after all these years. I bought the moisturizing shampoo as well as this conditioner. I was hoping to find a replacement for my Artero protein conditioner as that stuff, much as I love it, is expensive. Unfortunately, this missed the mark for me.
I do not care for the fragrance. It smells “old”. While this product does rinse very cleanly and miraculously doesn’t increase drying time, I was less than impressed with the texture of my dogs’ coats (I breed and show German Shepherds). I don’t want a soft coat, but I do want a conditioner to soften very slightly. This product didn’t do that.
Another problem I had is that my dogs didn’t look “finished” as I blew them out. Their individual hairs didn’t separate very readily and gave the appearance of being frizzy and still wet. It’s like they were caught outside on a humid day. The Artero leaves a much nicer finish on their coats.
I gave it a three because I did like how easily it rinsed out and that it didn’t impact drying time. It’s otherwise a miss for me and I won’t be purchasing it again.
