Was very excitied to receive my Lansonn Inside Out Hair Treatment Serum.
My first impression was I loved the packaging, the box is simple yet sophisticated, it wouldn't look out of place as part of a high end product range.
Seeing the bottle that the serum is in, wasn't disappointing, Keeping with the grey theme, simple, made out of Aluminium/Metal, I was a tad surprised when I first reached for it, it felt heavy, but then i realized what it was made from. The writing on the bottle is informative , however, I don't know if it was my 'older' eyes but the product information on the back seem, well just too small, for even people with perfect vision. I know there is a lot to say on a 100 ml bottle, but I will be keeping the box, if not just to read the same information.
The product has a standard nozzle, spraying the serum in the air, it has a pleasant 'natural' smell, a hint of all the oils used, I sensed it was Rosehip oil that seem to dominate, but am not sure.
I read the instructions to the letter - Spraying on my hair 15 minutes before I was going to wash it. The serum covers a good area of hair in one spray, the nozzle being effective. As I put more and more on my hair, the smell of the oils were very strong. I don't like the smell myself, but others might, I just found it too overpowering. It was a bit sticky on my hands, after I had finished spraying it on my hair and scalp, not a problem to wash of though.
With the serum being a natural product, I wanted to use a Organic Shampoo and Conditioner, free of all the things I was trying to avoid by using this product. I used both, I picked them up from my local supermarket, and felt they worked well with the treatment.
One of the claims is you will use less shampoo than usual, I'm not convinced it felt like I need slightly more, if anything. I was keen to lose the smell and was hoping it wouldn't linger, once I had air dried my hair, which I did, it was slightly there but in a more pleasant way.
I have coloured my hair for a long time - years but in saying that it is in good condition, l never use any styling products, so this is great for my hair, it felt like it gave it a extra softness, that colouring takes away.
For the next two to three days my hair felt super soft.
Would I purchase it regularly? probably not. The over powering smell put me off a little, but I wouldn't discount the use to other people, because of that.
I've used this the last 3 times I've washed my hair, normally after washing I have to give my hair a 5min condition and use a reasonable amount, as I have a lot of hair. Not with this product!!! I put it in as I was getting ready to get in the shower, between 5 and 10mins later washed my hair with shampoo and no more conditioner needed!!!! Its a miracle in this house... Finally my hair is soft, shining and just seems so much healthier. I'm definitely buying it!!
