Review title is Fair warning; lower price does not equal value [SEP] I have to admit I was enticed by the lower priced duo. I was wanting something for color extending, blonde hair. I had other higher priced shampoo and conditioner but this was on special and I thought I’d give it a try. The shampoo is ok but the conditioner not so much. The moment I put the  conditioner in my hair, it felt like straw. I normally let conditioner set for 3+ minutes and I was thinking time would make it softer but it didn’t. I ended up having to buy a leave in conditioner because my hair was a tangled mess.
