Okay okay! I'm clearly not a brunette, but that didn't stop me from picking up these last summer in T J Hughes (come to London!) oop norf. I used these before when I stayed at a friend's house and was so enamoured of the aroma I resolved to give these a try. As you can see, the shampoo was only £6.00 and the conditioner was about the same.
The best thing about using this duo is the gorgeous scent it leaves behind which lasts all day. It's extremely sweet and smells edible, so if you like fresh, zingy shampoos this may be a bit sickly for you. It's smells like a cookie mixture of vanilla, almond and caramel.
...and that's really the only thing that justifies the slightly more premium price than your regular Elvives and Pantenes. I have extremely oily hair, so I avoided using it if I felt my hair needed a really good wash - that's probably why these hung around in my shower for so long! The nozzle of the shampoo is particularly annoying and I found I had to do about 10-12 pumps (I know! What a work out!) to dispense the amount needed for my hair. I would actually consider repurchasing the conditioner as it did a nice job of making my hair soft and beautifully scented.
Not having brown hair (red instead) I can't really comment on what it does for the colour (the sunflower extract purports to protect against fading and UV rays), but it does add some shine.
I would say if you have dry, wiry hair this will probably be right up your street as it is very nourishing (it contains soy and wheat proteins), but as mine is oily and relatively soft, my mop just fell flat when all I want is lots of volume!
Awesome post. This is something else for me to buy... gosh I need to stop looking at blogs it makes me want to buy so much stuff! haha
ReplyDeleteGreat review, I've been thinking of trying this but I have thin hair that can easily look weighed down so I'll give it a miss :)
