Quick Review: Loreal Color Vibrancy Shampoo and Conditioner

Sample time!!! (which in my head is said like "Tshirt Time!" from Jersey Shore. I know I know, don't judge me! lol)

 

Initial Thoughts: I have always had good luck with L'Oreal shampoos and this is no exception.  It has a mild scent and a nice thick consistency. It made my hair nice and soft and did not irritate my scalp.  Since this was a sample, and my color is already pretty faded and old, I cannot comment on how well this works on preserving hair color.  This is not the most amazing shampoo I have tried, but would add it to my list to watch out for on sale. 

Quick Review: Body shop Rainforest Mosture Shampoo and Conditioner

This sample was received from the brand. Please see end of post for full disclosure. 

One reason why I love samples is sometimes you find things that just really don't work out, and you don't have to spend money to find it out. Keep reading to see why this shampoo and conditioner just did not get along with me.

Initial Thoughts: This is a low lather shampoo.  This didn't bother me at first as most natural shampoos are low lather.  What bothered me is that it didn't make my hair feel clean at all.  I felt like I had washed my hair with just water. My hair did not feel clean and felt like it still had oil and dirt on it.  I added more shampoo and even using twice what I would normally use it felt the same.  The conditioner was really runny, so runny I couldn't feel anything in my hair at all.  Before I apply conditioner I always wring out the extra water in my hair, even with minimal water this conditioner washed away.  After I dried my hair it didn't feel clean or soft.  This one will not be one I will look to purchase, ever.  

The sample of this product was sent directly by the brand.  This is my honest review and not influenced by receipt of the sample.

Quick Review: Pureology Hydrate Light Conditioner

Oh Pureology...I wish I didn't love your products so much! I totally can't afford you! This conditioner is no exception.

 

Initial Thoughts: Mild scent and not as thick as I usually like.  Wasn't sure how this one would work out for me.  Once my hair was dried I was shocked! This is the softest my hair has EVER been. Oh how I wish the price on this conditioner didn't make me cry!! I'm super cheap and was totally tempted to buy it, its that good! But alas...I will just have to keep my eyes open for more samples to spoil myself. 

Quick Review: Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner

After my love affair with Pureology hair oil, I was super excited to try a shampoo and conditioner.

 

Initial Thoughts: Shampoo is really thick, it is one of the thickest shampoos I have ever used. It makes a nice lather and has a fresh scent and nice tingle. The conditioner is also very thick. It also has an awesome menthol scent.  I love menthol scent anyday, but especially when I was getting over a head cold! Not only did it make my hair super soft, it also cleared my sinuses. Total bonus! I only used this for two days, and in that time I saw a big difference in how soft my hair became.  Totally tempted to buy this, only being held back by my cheapness, but oh so tempted!

Quick Review: L'Oreal EverCreme Sulfate-Free Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner

This was a perfect sample to open after dying my hair!

 

Initial Thoughts: This is a great shampoo for the dry hair I got the last time I dyed my hair.  The conditioner is super thick, which I loved.  It really helped bring my hair back to normal after the last dye I did.  Not sure if this is something I would need normally, as it was a bit heavy for my fine hair.  But with how dry my hair was, this was great for a few days to get my hair back to normal. 

Quick Review: Aveeno Nourish+Strengthen Shampoo and Conditioner

Ah Aveeno, usually we get along so well....Lets look at their Nourish+Strengthen Shampoo and Conditioner.

 

Initial Thoughts: I was expecting to get along so well with this one.  First try and I thought it was a good shampoo, it made my hair clean.  I loved the conditioner since it is nice and thick. After I dried my hair it was super soft.  I was happy that once again Aveeno and my hair got along great! 

The next day and with the next two uses I noticed that my scalp started itching a lot.  My scalp is very temperamental and dries out and itches a lot.  I was sad since this is the first time an Aveeno shampoo has done this to me. Overall it is a great combo, especially if you like thick conditioners, but this one just didn't agree with me.

Review: Clear Ultra Shea Shampoo and Conditioner

Today I bring you Clear Ultra Shea Shampoo and Conditioner.  Of all the new shampoos out there, Clear is the one I have most looked forward too as I have a dry flaky scalp.  I was so glad this was such a large sample as I was able to use it for over a week.

Initial Thoughts: The shampoo worked well for my fine oily hair and the conditioner was nice and thick like I like it.  After the first use my hair felt clean and soft. 

Overall Thoughts: After a week I am happy to say my scalp hasn't itched or flaked at all! My hair is soft and the roots are not oily.  As a shampoo and conditioner it is pretty basic, but what sells me is how my scalp feels.  There are only a handful of shampoos I can use for a whole week without my scalp acting up.  I want to try out more of the Clear line to see if a different formula works better for my hair.  

Quick Review: Dove Intensive Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner

Today is a quick review of Dove Intensive Care Daily Treatment Conditioner.

Initial Thoughts: I was able to use this sample for 6 uses.  It is a good conditioner, but I did not notice anything that made it stand out.  It was nice and thick and made my hair soft, but it didn't stand out to me from other conditioners I have used.  This would be a good conditioner if you like a good basic thick conditioner.
