 Color Awakening Hair Bath by Innersense.
$26.00 for 10oz (295ml) What they Claim: A gentle cleansing therapy for color treated hair. Color Awakening is a gentle cleansing therapy for color treated hair. Derived from coconut and palm oils and other natural plant sources, this formula creates a kind, gentle bath for the hair and scalp. Sunflower Seed Oil, a natural anti-oxidant, protects color from fading and adds glorious shine. Hair is left naturally clean, healthy and awakened without residue or dryness. My Thoughts: As sorry as I am to say this - I Am Not A Fan! I wanted to like it for the fact that it's natural, for the fact that it claimed to do all these wonderful things for my colour enhanced hair, but alas it did none of those things I was expecting. I couldn't get over the smell, which was almost medicinal and just didn't feel clean at all. I don't know about you, but I like to feel and smell clean, squeaky clean and yummy after I shower and this shampoo didn't do that for me. I also felt it weighed my hair down and left it limp and flat, which my hair does naturally, so I don't need extra "flop". I'm not sure if it protected the colour, I cannot state for sure. The other thing it didn't provide was any shine. It was lacklustre and dull. It did leave residue though no dryness, mainly because it felt greasy. It may work for others, and I say to everyone, purchase the sample/travel size as I did, and try it for yourselves. But for me, it was a no! Collage: Alexandra Black

 Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo by REN Skincare.
$28.00 for 300ml (10.1oz) Product Description: A gentle shampoo based on mild cleansers sourced from Oats and using bio actives from Bay Oil (stimulating) and Lemon Oil (cleansing). This product uses only 100% natural fragrance and is free from harsh sulfate detergents and synthetic colours. My Verdict: YES!!! We seldom think about the toxins our cosmetics products have, but I urge you to do so if you care at all about what you put inside your body, as we've talked about before what you put on your body is equally as important. This Shampoo provides a great clean squeaky wash, without drying your hair out. It lathers nicely for a natural product and leaves hair clean for days. I wash my hair every other day, but with this shampoo, depending on what I need to do, I can almost go two days without washing it. The amount of times you need to wash your hair depends on the frequency in which you wash it. Some people need more, some people need less, I love the feeling of washing my hair and also the shine and smell of freshly washed hair, so every other day suits me just fine. Collage/Photo: Alexandra Black  Rene Furterer LUMICIA Shampoo $24.00 200ml (6.7fl) Type Of Hair: Oily Hair, Dry Hair, Colored Hair, Fine Hair, Normal Hair,Coarse Hair, Curly Hair. What It Claims: Rene Furterer LUMICIA Illuminating Shine Shampoo has been formulated to purify and strengthen the hair follicle. Made with acerola cherry vinegar and shine agents, this daily shampoo gently removes impurities from each strand for healthier looking hair. Its light, crystalline texture and fresh notes of bergamot, lemon and jasmine round out this unique formula. What I think: I purchased this because I read a few good reviews and someone, somewhere (I wish I remembered who and where) had said it was great for giving fine, coloured hair that luminous shiny hair we all see in commercials and have pure hair envy over. So I got myself over to Dermstore.com and looked it up, a couple of clicks later I had purchased what seemed to be my dream shampoo. My verdict: I have been using it for two months now. Please note I have Long, fine, naturally blonde hair, with highlights for extra oomph. It sometimes (depending on time of the month) gets greasier than others, but generally I would say I have normal hair. I look after it fairly well, I don't over-use styling products nor styling tools. So it isn't burnt or lacklustre. It has natural movement and is naturally straight with some wave to it. I tend to wash it every other day. So, the smell of this product is divine, but it is also quite strong. So if you're not into overpowering smells, move away from this now, because it is very present. The texture feels like liquid detergent, pleasant and it lathers well. However, I like my shampoo to wash out and feel squeaky clean. I don't like residue because that usually means, it leaves my hair flat and lifeless. This does exactly that, it leaves a film that doesn't wash out and when dry, my fine hair falls miserably around my face, making my hair look like a dead rat. There is no shine, quite the contrary, it looks greasy and dull. What a shame. Not what I was looking for and definitely not what this claims to be. I will not be purchasing this again as it absolutely doesn't work for me! Photograph: Stock #ReneFurterer #Paris #Shampoo #HairCare #Lumicia #Shine #Gloss |
