I have mentioned this Shampoo and Conditioner combo in my June Favorites a little bit ago. And, here we are in August and I am still using it regularly. So, for someone who is not loyal to shampoo and conditioner, this is a big thing! So I figured that is a pretty good reason to post a review!!
Pros:
-Smells amazing!!!!!- If you could sum up summer with a smell, it is this. The most deliciously tropical smell. Almost like the smell of tanning oil with a mixture of a yummy cocktail.
-It keeps your hair color- Now I wasn't sure that was true for awhile. But the other day when traveling, I used another shampoo and conditioner combo that didn't claim to "keep my color". My deep red ombre turned pink. So, if that doesn't show that the stuff is true to its name, I don't know what does.
-Paraben and Sulfate free- This is what helps to keep your color. Also, just all around these things are bad for your hair. I don't get crazy reading labels to make sure my shampoos and conditioners are paraben free, but when I find out some of my favorites are, its just an added bonus.
-It leaves your hair soft and hydrated- Again, my hair is color treated...A LOT. By all means my hair should be dry and broken and just all around a mess of nasty. But, after using this combo it just feels amazing! It claims that the reason for that is bamboo and rice protein. Now, I am not a scientist who makes shampoos and conditioners, so I cannot say if this this is the exact reason. But I will say that none of my other shampoos (and I have a lot) have rice protein or bamboo and they don't make my hair nearly as soft.
Cons:
-Price: They are $15 each. Which compared to some haircare stuff isn't like the most expensive. But compared to the $3 stuff that I used to go for, it is on the expensive side. Luckily when I went to Ulta they were buy one get one free....so super bargain!
-Doesn't lather up: Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of and get used to. The reason being the lack of sulfate. So the reason it doesn't lather is a good one, but its just off putting the first time you use it. So no need to used more thinking that's the reason it didn't lather and get all bubbly!
-The smell is super summery: Now this is a personal preference. If you don't care too much about summer smells and winter smells then you should not really care. Like I said the smell is so so so tropical. Which is amazing for the summer time! But, during the winter, you might not want to go around smelling like a fruity cocktail. But, like I said, that is totally up to you!
-Cannot purchase at a normal drugstore: Don't know if you guys have some super awesome drugstore near you, but the only place I can get it is either online, or at Ulta. Luckily the new Ulta is like 10 minutes from my house. But, you cannot go to your Walmart and pick it up.
There you have it! I have basically been using this combo all summer and my hair feels great. I have been using other stuff after the shower too, which I will do reviews on in the future. Us girls with dry hair need to stick together!!! But I really do think this shampoo and conditioner has made a huge difference! So, next time your at your Ulta, you should for sure pick it up!
Stay Beautiful
