Quality shampoo
Ive damaged my hair over the years so I thought I would try this shampoo it has a nice smell and using it every other day my hair feels smoother and I'm not loosing as much hair I love it😀

Noticeable difference
I have the shampoo, pre shampoo, conditioner and serum. I love the pre shampoo, shampoo and conditioner. It made a big difference in my hair after only using it for 3 days. It smells lovely and it’s definitely helped my hair stay nicer and soft for longer. I’m not fussed on the serum it made my hair greasy so I only use it at night before bed I wouldn’t buy the serum again. I wish the bottles were bigger for the price, I’m not sure if they’ll last an entire month of being used everyday. I have very sensitive skin and have no problem so far with these products.

My new go to
I've always used Olaplex but I use so little in my fine hair, it starts to smell "off" after a while. This range is amazing. Affordable, smells divine and 100% does the job. My hair feels incredible. Would highly recommend

Absolute game changer
My hair was absolutely awful, dry and dead. Thinking i was going to have to bite the bullet and get it cut short I thought id try this before hand and oh my god I'm in love you only have to use a tiny bit and my hair is sooo soft and shiny. Like I said absolute game changer 🙌

Nice conditioner
Made my hair nice and soft however it is a bit gloopy almost having the consistency of yoghurt. Didn't really seem to absorb super well into my hair shaft but somehow works better for me than the Redken acidic bonding concentrate and gets the job done. The one thing that I hated is the smell. It is so powerfully fragranced and smells musky like my grandma's wooden cabinet mixed with amber or jasmine or something, such a heavy scent for a conditioner it almost made me feel unclean using it.

Was doubtful but I think it’s really worked
My hair has been bleached, colour stripped and dyed in the last 7 years. Other than cutting it, I haven’t been able to feel very proud of my hair. I’ve finished this bottle so I feel like I can write a review now. A little goes a LONG way, so the value for money is good. It smells different to other shampoos but now I’m used to it, I quite like it. It lathers well, and using the conditioner with it, I feel as if my hair is a lot healthier. It’s a smaller bottle, I wish they made bigger but as I said; a little goes a long way. My hair is just past my shoulders, and quite thick, and using the size of a 10p coin is enough for a good wash. If your hair is damaged, I’d give this a go. Already bought my second bottle.

Hair dye stripper
Strips hair dye out. Guessing that's the citric acid. Left me with a questionable hair colour so as much as I like this stuff I probably won't be using again which is a shame as it really helped repair some of the damage but the fact it strips hair dye is definitely something that people ahould be aware of
