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.

Bodyshop Olive Glossing Shampoo & Conditioner

Olive Glossing Shampoo



Conditioner


Given Description:

Specialist glossing shampoo and conditioner, with Community Trade organic olive oil, to add shine and put the oomph back into dull, lifeless hair. With added wheat amino acids for softness, Community Trade organic honey to condition, and antioxidant olive leaf extract to help protect from environmental damage, it's a veritable cocktail of Mother Nature's finest.

Well this description was taken off the website, Bodyshop doesn't normally do descriptions on their product packaging. They don't normally have instructions on their products as well, so thats a bit of inconvienience. Just remember to ask the salesgirls at the shop how to use the product when you buy it, and write the instructions down if you forget things easily. Or you can always look on the website for instructions. However nothing beats having the intructions on the bottle itself.





They don't have nice descriptions either, which is a pity, cos im the type of customer that likes reading what the product is all about and such. I always like Origins product descriptions and L'Occitane ones too.





Anyway, back to the product. This has an okay scent, not very strong. I don't think it'll be good for washing away strong odours from your hair, like cigarette smoke but im not very sure cos i've never tried doing that. The scent isn't very strong thats all.







The consistency of the shampoo is good, enough foam and not too liquidy. A 50 cent coin amount is enough for my shoulder length crop. I know they always tell you to use less than a 20 ct amount if you have shorter hair but honestly, i don't like coming out of the shower feeling as though my hair hasn't been washed clean.




This shampoo is gentle enough for everyday use. I wash my hair everyday, and it doesn't seem to get to dried out by this shampoo. The conditioner is also not bad.







You can get this at any Bodyshop store. I forgot the price though, oops. There are Bodyshop stores in Kovan, Tampines Mall, Paragon and etc. They have lots of stores here in spore, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find their shop.











Rating: ♥♥♥ An average shampoo. I would say you can get better shampoos at cheaper prices

For best results, use daily.

The first time i used it i was quite delighted at the texture and consistency of the shampoo. It was really creamy and smooth, and had a sort of pearlescent colour to it.




(It's a little blurry, sorry. Left is shampoo, right is conditioner)

The shampoo was thick and felt creamy in my hair. I would vote this as shampoo with the best texture.


It foamed up to a creamy lather, and pampered my locks leaving it with a nice pleasant smell.


After that i smoothed on the conditioner, which looks like, well, a conditioner.


After rinsing out my hair i noticed it was really smooth and smelt great.


However, after a long time of using, i felt my scalp starting to itch. I had to scratch my head nearly everyday, so i am not sure if the itch was caused by the shampoo or not.




I am not very sure how much this costs, but you can get it at Watsons or Guardian.


Rating: ♥♥♥ ♥/ 3 & a half hearts. If not for the itch, i would give it a 4.
