Ever since a lot of you commented asking for a replacement for L’Oréal Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner as it has been discontinued, I started hearing about the Re’equil brand of conditioners. On my recent trip to India, I got a chance to try them.

Common Review

Ingredients: MAN! I don’t remember the last time an ingredients list made me this happy. Just clean, amazing ingredients! Re’equil Babassu Anti-Frizz and Smoothening Conditioner as it says is great for frizz control. All its ingredients are hydrating. Re’equil Murumuru Damage Repair Conditioner has similar ingredients but has murmuru butter instead of babassu oil and also has hydrolysed protein which helps with damage repair (just like the name of the product says). I love labels that read what they actually are instead of flashy false promises.

CG Friendly: Yes
Texture: Both are creamy, velvet-y conditioners and provide AMAZING slip.
Smell: Fruity floral
Packaging: Soft plastic tube with a flip cap.

Performance:

+ Both do an AMAZING job in detangling hair
+ Both can be left in as leave in conditioners and work absolutely great for squish to condish.
+ The Babassu one is good for those wanting moisture and the Murmuru one is great for moisture + damage control.
+ Both don’t weigh down hair
+ Both provide hydration and frizz control

– I don’t have anything bad to say about either of the conditioners.

In short: Re’equil condiitoners have won my heart with their simplicity and efficacy. They are my current favourite conditioner in India 🙂
