Product Overview
This deep conditioner from the brand Palmer's is designed for dry, frizz‑prone, or damaged hair & scalp. According to the description, the formula is loaded with extra virgin olive oil and fortified with a “Botanical Scalp Complex” (nettle, sage, hyssop) to provide vitamins and minerals to dry/damaged hair.
It is marketed as a “deep conditioning pack/treatment” rather than a regular daily conditioner. The 60 g size is suitable for a few uses (travel size / treatment format).
In short: a more intensive treatment product — apply post‑shampoo, leave for a few minutes, then rinse — aiming to restore moisture, improve shine and manageability.
Key Features & Benefits
Key Features
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Provides antioxidants and lipids to help protect the hair and scalp from free‑radical damage and restore moisture.
- Botanical Scalp Complex: Includes nettle, sage and hyssop extracts designed to soothe a dry or irritated scalp and stimulate a healthier scalp environment.
- Designed for Frizz/ Damage / Dry Scalp: The product claims to smooth rough cuticles, improve shine & manageability, and helps relieve dry, itchy scalp.
- Free‑from / Cleaner claims: According to the Indian site, it is “sulfate‑free” (for this treatment pack) and free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, gluten and dyes.
- Compact format: The 60 g size makes it accessible and allows for trial without committing to a large tub. Retailers in India show this size.
Benefits
- Deep nourishment: Because it’s a “deep conditioner”, it’s intended to do more than a standard rinse‑out conditioner — making it useful for hair that feels particularly dry or rough.
- Improved manageability: With smoothing and anti‑frizz benefits, it may reduce tangling or make styling easier.
- Shinier, healthier‐looking hair: The extra virgin olive oil + smoothing action on cuticles aim to impart more shine and better texture.
- Scalp care plus hair care: Many conditioners focus only on hair lengths/ends; this one addresses the scalp as well, which is an added plus if you have dryness or irritation.
- Value for trial / travel: The smaller size means you can test whether it suits your hair type without large cost.

Why Choose This Product?
Here are some reasons you might pick this product:
- If your hair is very dry, frizz‑prone, rough, or your scalp is feeling itchy or irritated — this treatment focuses on both hair and scalp.
- If you prefer a treatment pack style product (rather than a standard conditioner) for deeper care.
- If you like the idea of olive oil as a hair conditioning agent — olive oil has a history in haircare for smoothing and shine.
- If you want to test a specialized product without buying a large tub — the 60 g size makes it lower risk.
- If you are already using other products from Palmer’s Olive Oil formula line — this fits well into that ecosystem.
However, also four caveats / things to keep in mind:
- If your hair is very fine, you might find a rich deep conditioner weighing down your hair; some users in forums mention that this product can feel heavy for certain hair types. For example:
“I love … olive oil deep conditioning treatment they do recently and it left my hair feeling so soft afterwards! … I wouldn’t recommend this to fine straight hairs which lack volume, it might weight the hair down.”
- If you have oily scalp and you apply heavy treatments to roots, it may make scalp feel greasier — you may want to apply mid‐lengths & ends only.
- While it addresses dryness/damage, if your hair is severely damaged (broken ends, chemically over‑processed) you might still need additional treatments (protein, bond‑repair etc).
