L'Occitane shampoo and conditioner 3 essential oils for normal and fine hair


I don't think this shampoo is selling in stores anymore. I've checked the site and it doesn't seem to be there. Either they have stopped selling this, or they repackaged it so that it looks different. Anyhow, im unable to find the given description on this and too lazy to type it out from the bottle so you'll just have to make do with my review.
As with all of L'Occitane's essential oil products, i find it hard to pinpoint the exact scent. It doesn't have the prevailing smell of citrus, lavender, tea tree or whatever. It's a jumble of everything, so forgive me if i cannot fully describe to you how it smells like.
I dont have a picture of the conditioner either, but the above picture is that of the shampoo and the conditioner has the same packaging, only that it comes in a smaller size. That is what i love about this product. The conditioner is sold in a smaller size, which is a really great thing because normally when i buy shampoo and conditioner as a set, i naturally use them together. As you know, people hardly use the same amount of conditioner and shampoo for their hair. You would normally use less of the conditioner, as you are only conditioning the middle to end parts of your hair and not the scalp. So when this 'more of shampoo, less of conditioner' thing happens, you tend to use up the shampoo much quicker than the conditioner.
I don't like having left over conditioner from the hair shampoo brand i was using before that, so i get royally pissed off. This conditioner however, comes in a smaller bottle so you get just the right amount you need for the amount of shampoo you use and you would probably finish the set together. I haven't finished it, but i can already predict that i will.
The shampoo consistency is thick and easy to foam up though it doesn't really lather up that much, which is sad cos i like a head full of lather. The conditioner is also thinner than most, so i use quite a large amount of it than i normally do with other conditioners.
My hair has always been manageable and i think it is one of my best assets because i don't have split ends, i never get bad hair days and my hair is generally pretty fuss-free. Oh and shiny and healthy too. That is really great, but also not so good when im reviewing products because i can't really see the full power the hair product can unleash. For example, if your hair is naturally very healthy, the shampoo won't do much difference to it but if your hair is dry and unhealthy, a good shampoo will rectify that. So with unhealthy hair, you would be able to see which shampoo is really good or not.
I wasn't sure about this shampoo, but my cousin came over and tried it and said she really liked it. So i can say it's a safe bet this shampoo is good cos' my cousin is very particular about her hair too.
L'Occitane isn't the cheapest brand around, but it's one of the best and they give you rly good quality stuff.

Hi, thanks for the review.

It's great that you have really healthy hair--but, you should be able to tell the difference between a good shampoo and a bad one. The difference is in the way it cleans and how well it cleans, how long the smell lasts, etc. :)
