I love the packaging of this ! It has this chakri shaped outing which removes your conditioner like a chakri and has both golden and white ribbons i.e white and yellow parts in line..which come out together. Its fun to use it !
Even this has a nice smell. I love the conditioner even more than the shampoo. And I can never skip using this after shampoo. Love the way my hair feels with it.
Their pros and cons are almost the same as above..as even this contains silicones. But then mostly all shampoos and conditioners do..coz otherwise our hair would not feel the way we want them to.
