I've suffered for years with an itchy, seborrheic-type scalp that always worsened when I was under stress and during the dry winter months. For the first time I found products that cleared it up completely when I began using Paula's Choice All Over Bath and Body Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner. Even though I have been under really bad stress (due to my husband's injuries in a bad accident in January) over the past 6 months, I still haven't had a problem. I would highly recommend these products to anyone. The facial cleansers/moisturizers are great too and cleared up my dry skin problems.

This is by far the best conditioner I have ever used. I have dry, curly hair that can be difficult to tame, and have tried everything on the market from the high-end, over-priced products to those that claim to "repair" your hair. Nothing can touch this conditioner! I even recommended it to my stylist. Thank you for taking the nonsense out of shopping for hair care products!

I adore your Smooth Finish Conditioner. As someone who suffers from allergies and eczema, I love that it has neither fragrance nor irritating ingredients. I also use it to shave my legs and condition my makeup brushes.
—Linda F.


This conditioner is the BEST!! Thank you so much for selling your products...this conditioner makes my hair sooo easy to comb through, and is saving my hair from our dry climate and eliminates the dreaded static flyaways. The products my hairstylist sold to me never performed as well as this stuff.

Paula Shampoo and Conditioner
These are wonderful. I have coarse but flat hair due to being Asian. These products make my hair smooth and silky but without any heavy or goopy residue. Also these are the only products I could find that could be safely used before Lasik surgery-no perfumed items allowed going into the operation!
—Nikki Tsuchiya

Excellent Product
I was given this product along with several other Paula's Choice products for Christmas, and loved all of them! I particularly loved this product as I have very dry color treated hair. Left it on for about 10 minutes and WOW! hair was soft, full of body and had a great shine! Very impressed with this and so glad it's fragrance free! which is a HUGE plus for me.

Smooth Finish Conditioner
Works as advertised and makes an excellent shaving cream for men. Recommended for men instead of the Close Comfort Shave Gel, which is not easy to splash off the face if you shave at the sink.

This is going to save me lots of money!
I just tried a sample of your shampoo and conditioner and I've added it up. These products are going to save me about $175 a year... and make my hair look and feel better too! I've been buying very expensive high-end shampoo and hair serum to smooth out the frizz in my combination curly/straight hair. These two products do a wonderful job making my hair feel soft, in less steps and for alot less money! I'm so excited! Thank you!
—Autumn

Great leave-in too!
I have coarse, sparse, curly hair - a deadly combination that usually ends up flat and greasy looking with conditioner and frizzy and dry when I use no conditioner. With this conditioner, however, all that is avoided. Now my hair feels soft, silky, not heavy and greasy. It is also a fabulous, non-greasy leave-in conditioner which works great on hot, humid days and a fanastic shaving lotion too.
—Ilse

Husband loves this as shaving cream!
Since he's not interested in researching it, I'm always on the lookout for skin care products that my husband might like. Based on a review I read, I bought this conditioner for him to try as a shaving cream. He says he misses the foam of "regular" shaving cream, but that he much prefers how this conditioner makes his skin feel. It's a keeper!
—Lorene

This rocks!
This is the best conditioner I have ever used! It doesn't feel greasy, it rinses out easily and does not give me hair line area acne! A little goes a long way, too. I can't imagine how long this huge bottle is going to last me?! What a great product!
—Patricia

One of a kind conditioner
My scalp is itchy when i use other hair products in the market, except this one. I use it with Paula's Choice Body and Hair shampoo, and it's wonderful. I use it to condition the dry skin area on my body during shower too. It is lovely. Thanks.

I really hoped that I had found a good unscented conditioner. But this made my hair feel more dry and damaged each time I used it. Should have ordered the sample size. My bad.

This is the only conditioner I use. It does double duty on vacation when I also use it as a shaving cream to shave my legs.

Love Smooth Finish Conditioner
I've got to say that I love this conditoner. It really leaves my hair feeling really smooth and silky. My hair responds very well to this product. Doesn't weigh it down at all. I color my hair and both products All Over Body Shampoo and Smooth Finish Conditioner are my one and only choice for me.
—Donna P

Good but not ideal for all hair types
I'll admit, I just reordered this product for the third or fourth time. I really like it. The only issue for me is that I have extremely thick, semi-coarse, curly, dryish hair, and I have to handfuls of this in order for it to work for me. I know that the instructions say to use more for my hair type, but it doesn't seem fair that I have to go through a bottle 5 times as fast just because of my hair type. I would really love to see a second formula that is thicker and richer (even a bit of oil would be welcome). It seems the current product really caters to normal to fine hair. It's not an ideal one-size-fits-all option.
—Robin H

Good but not ideal for all hair types
I am a big fan of Paula's Choice products, but I have to agree that this conditioner is not ideal for all hair types. I have thick, coarse, dry hair that needs a lot of moisture. I would love to see a thicker and richer formula added to this line. I would also love to see a leave-in product that detangles and protects against heat.

Geat Conditioner for Course, Curly Hair.
I normally use Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco. It really stands up to my hair and I love the smell but your product is a great alternative. It's actually the best I've used that wasn't a 'salon' only brand. I do agree that maybe it could be a bit thicker, but it is wonderful and doesn't have a really perfume-y smell that many drugstore brands have. I love that it is essentially half the price of my B&B and you get almost twice as much. I have noticed though that it is so smooth and sleek that I have almost slipped in the shower after conditioning my hair!
—Alison

And I Thought You Knew Your Stuff, Paula.
This conditioner contains more than one silicone! Silicones coat your hair and dry it out more by not allowing it to breathe. Sure, your hair feels silky while you're using the conditioner daily, but after you stop you'll find those split ends have worsened, you just haven't noticed because they were glued together by the silicone. Who wants a teflon coating to their hair? Not me. Let's try putting only actual moisturisers in conditioners next time, Paula, not the gimmicky chemicals every other overpriced hair product uses.

condtioner
your conditioner is superb, I have thick"ish"coarse, colour tortured hair, wavey..conditioner is amazing, I use a lot but very worth it, the shine is amazing,I leave in always after showering as a finishing product. Thank you
—donna power

Good conditioner
I am not sure why some reviewers found this conditioner thin. I think it's medium-thick, personally. Similar to Finesse, which is very good, but PC's is fragrance-free, which I need. I was very impressed. It left my hair silky-soft. I have thick, blonde, highlighted wavy hair. It might be too heavy for people with fine and/or thin hair. I found it took quite a bit of rinsing to get this out. But it is the best of fragrance-free conditioners on the market, IMO.
—Elizabeth

Outstanding Multitasking Product
WOW!!! Excellent fragrance free conditioner that leaves hair soft. It also doubles as a shave cream. Two great products for the price of one!

Seborrheic Dermatitis is gone!
Having tried every smelly, harsh, medicine-like shampoo on the market for my seborrheic dermatitis, I was VERY skeptical about this working when I read other reviews about how it helped their SD. So I bought a few samples and was absolutely amazed at how it was simply gone after ONE time of using the shampoo and conditioner! ONCE! That's it! I ordered my full bottles the next day and have thrown away my T-Gel, H&S and Selsun Blue - which was drying my hair out SO badly! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my hair. xoxoxox
—Lori

great conditioner!
The other day I was in the shower and realized I was completely out of my regular hair conditioner. Luckily I remembered I had an unopened sample of Paula's conditioner from a previous order I had placed. I was so pleased with the results after just one use! For some reason my hair styled much more nicer than usual (I have long thick layered hair) and when I got to school people in my class noticed the difference in my hair and I got some nice compliments. I will be ordering this conditioner on my next order. Can't wait to try more of Paula's products!
—Leeanne Mullins

Does nothing for me
I usually love your products Paula, but this conditioner does nothing for my hair. I preserved thinking it would work better after a few weeks and I even had 3 inches cut off my hair in that time thinking maybe my hair just needed a good trim. But this conditioner leaves my hair feeling so porous, I can barely get a brush/comb through it. I guess I'll give it to hubby to use as shaving gel Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear about your experience with this product. While we do not have another conditioner option to offer Paula recommends many on beautypedia.com.

not ahppy with conditionaer
This product works fine when you use it, but as soon as you stop using it your hair is in as worse of shape as ever. Paula your skin care is AWESOME, but the same care needs to be put into your shampoo's and conditioner. It is great that it is fragrance free and I need that because I break out from fragrances and dyes but you need to make something that is for damaged and dry hair, a conditioner needs to be good for your hair this one is not. your hair builds a tolerance to it after a while and then it does not work as well, and if you quit using it your hair will feel awful.This put the condition of my hair in such bad shape. I wish I could use it because it is fragrance free but I can't because of the condition it puts my hair in. Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear about your experience with this item. Please contact Customer Service for further assistance in selecting an alternate item or for return assistance.

Wonderful!
Love this product. It's a little on the expensive side (I usually use conditioners from Pantene), but I'll likely order it again because it's so effective. I use a small amount on my toddler's hair, since it gets so tangled otherwise. I've also used it as a shaving cream. Well done!
—Mary-Ellin

Very Good Shaving Cream
I really recommend this product for shaving! It makes your razor glide freely and conditions the skin at the same time. I like this much better than the gel.
—Wilson

What makes this product unique?
Precious few truly fragrance-free conditioners exist, so this one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art conditioner works brilliantly for any hair type but is especially helpful for those with sensitivity to fragrance. Our savvy formula puts Smooth Finish Conditioner in a league of its own. The non-irritating base works as a daily moisturizing and detangling conditioner that leaves even highly-textured, coarse hair looking soft, shiny, and manageable. The silky texture makes it easy to apply and distribute through wet hair and rinses easily so hair never feels limp or greasy. Ideal for those with sensitive, itchy scalps.

This product is 100% fragrance-and colorant-free.

Who is this product for?
Smooth Finish Conditioner is recommended for all hair types.

How should this product be used?
After shampooing, apply a small amount (dime-sized for thin or fine hair, more for longer or thicker hair) focusing on the dry parts of your hair and scalp or avoiding your scalp if it is oily. Leave on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse well. For deep conditioning, leave Smooth Finish Conditioner on hair for as long as possible. Can be used as a leave-in conditioner for those with very dry, thick or course hair or in very small amounts to tame frizzy and flyaway strands. May also be mixed with a styling product for softer, more conditioned hold.

How much Smooth Finish Conditioner should I use per application?
That all depends on your hair length and texture. If you have short hair that is fine or thin, use less and avoid the root areas. If you have normal hair (not fine or thin but not thick or coarse) use slightly more. Thick, coarse, or curly hair can use a generous amount. Experimentation will tell you which amount is best for your hair's texture and condition.
