I picked these up at Urban Outfitter for about $8.00 each for the shampoo and conditioner....and then found out I could've picked them up at Walmart for $3.00 each. Bummer
They are sulfate free and promise longer hair faster, to strengthen hair, and to contain an anti-breakage formula. I used them for about a month and a half and I can honestly say I hate them.
The packaging is bright, very cute, and makes it very easy to get the shampoo and conditioner out. The smell is gross, like a very very fakely sweet strawberry smoothie. Thankfully, as soon as my hair dried, the smell dissipated.
The day before I started this system, I shampooed with Neutrogena Clarifying shampoo, to make sure I got a fresh start. Two days later, I shampooed, and noticed the shampoo left my hair a weird straw texture, odd for a sulfate-free shampoo, although it DID lather nicely. I rinsed, and then left the conditioner in for 3 minutes (as instructed). The conditioner has the texture of a mousse, I don't feel like it really sank into my hair. I rinsed, air dried my hair, and my hair was very soft. Yay!
That only happened the first time, though. Every time after that (about 12 - 15 washes), my hair was matted, tangled, and extremely hard to brush. I have never had this issue with my hair before. I tried using just the shampoo with a different conditioner, thinking that the conditioner wasn't strong enough. Nope. Didn't work, even with a deep conditioning treatment.
Into the trash this one goes. Thoroughly disappointed. My hair didn't really grow much faster, maybe an inch in 1.5 months, but so much of it seemed to fall out while I was using the system, the growth wasn't even worth it. I saw the regular number of split ends, so I'm not sure what happened with that, but the constant tangling couldn't have helped.
I'm rating this a 0/10.
