Awww....Well I am glad that you like it. I am torn between Biolage and Nexxus line. I love them both.

I don't get much slip from the shampoo. But the conditioner is really great.

After reading the review on this product, I'm also sold. I have been looking for a second product to love as much as I love Elucence
...thanks for the review!dreemssold

There is no board.
I tried this as a CW last night. I bought a 2.2 ounce sample which was not enough to cover my hair but I worked with it the best I could.
This conditioner is creamy thick and smells really good. I wet my hair and applied it and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse out was really easy (I'm 3+ months post touchup). I got pretty good slip and softness from this.
Out the shower I towel blotted my hair and the first thing I noticed was the shine. The shine was similar to when I used Garnier Fructis as a CO wash. I applied some NTM leave in with a mixture of castor oil and olive oil, tied it down and went to bed. Next morning soft, shiny, supple hair roots and all.
This is a keeper! I'm trying to find some more of this stuff on sale.

gIRL, i dont know what I was thinking back then!! I've obtained a whole new mindset on things since then! Oh well!!!dreemssold said:Naptrl...unfortunately, my eyes weren't even on Biolage back then, but I wish they were, because I'd have had it in my palms in a heartbeat...I'm all for sharing the wealth, but how could you give this stuff up?

Sorry ladies but I'm taking back my review of this stuff! I conditioned for the fourth time with the Ultra Hydrating Balm and I'm mad. 
My hair is dry today.
The first time I used this I mixed it with olive oil and left it on for 15 mins with heat. I like the way my hair felt when the conditioner was in but the next morning my hair was dry. I thought it was the leave in. On the second attempt I tried it after shampooing with no heat for 10 mins. Same dry crispy hair with no slip when detangling. Third attempt I used it after a light protein treatment, bad idea. So why I tried it again last night I have no clue? Again my hair felt so soft while I had the conditioner in but when I rinsed it out my hair had no slip. Now today my hair is dry and I'm mad.
This stuff is going back to the store and I'm going to exchange it for something else. Oh, I'm taking back the Ultra Hydrating Shampoo cause I like to use shampoos and conditioners from the same line. The shampoo was decent though.

Sorry to hear this, but maybe you are leaving it on too long. I only leave mine on for 3 minutes while in the shower and rinse.

I guess but my hair is real thirsty. I mean I can glop on a sizeable amount of S-Curl(handful) and by morning my hair will be bone dry.

@ naptrl, DSD, and sylver...yall are funny. It's ok sylver 
, lol. Honi, I'm so glad you like it, too! I used it as a CO wash yesterday, too, and yep...it's still rocking my world, lol. simplycee, I am so confused
...I'm sorry it didn't work well...I don't think it was the heat or the the time, though...I used my with heat for longer than that and it was slippery slidey...but ain't nothin wrong with a little Kenra and Humectress any day . LOL @ real thirsty, CW! Usually mine isn't, but this Surge is making it real thirsty .

We need to start a thread trying to turn people on to NTM.
See now I feel guilt...cause I'm getting a wash and set tomorrow..and I was gonna use the whole NTM line (I have a mask I need to use up) - but that Dana chick has me swaying to stop by the BSS tomorrow morning to pick up the Salerm WG mask. I'm having dinner with males tomorrow so I'm trying to look cute tomorrow, cause I know they'll be in my scalp.

Dreemsold and everyone else, I'm back with my review of the Biolage Ultra Hydrating Shampoo and Ultra Hydrating Balm. Sorry to say that I wasn't bowled over by them. My hair didn't feel soft after the shampoo (but one of you ladies posted that it had the same effect on your hair, so I wasn't surprised). However, the Ultra Hydrating Balm didn't leave me with anywhere near the amount of slip that I hoped for.
The balm did soften my hair after the hard-as-sandpaper feel I had after the shampoo, but I wanted the super slip that I get from Motions or NTM conditioners! My hair feels the same way after Paul Mitchell Supercharged - softened, but no major slip. I know that Motions is loaded with cones, so maybe that's why it has that effect on my hair.
Anyhoo, I'll finish my supply, and I'm glad that I bought the small 4.2 oz size of the Balm and resisted the larger version. Unfortunately, I have the regular sized version fo the shampoo, cuz that's all they had. But I won't be buying that line again. Oh, well, it's nice to experiment to see what works for me! Kudos to all the ladies for whom Biolage is the bomb. Back to my NTM line until something else tempts me to stray!
Oh, and on the NTM serum tip, that stuff is the bomb. I like that it doesn't have alcohol, like some serums do. MonaLisa, you should check out the NTM Daily Deep Conditioner. Trust me. I was hooked on the Deep Recovery Mask until someone on this board pointed out to me that the Daily Deep Conditioner has practically the same ingredients as the Mask. You get more conditioner with the DDC, it's cheaper, extremely creamy, and gives the same incredible softeness as the Mask. Try it, girlie, you won't regret it.
