Linden Leaves Rosemary and Cypress Shampoo and Balm Mint and Tangerine conditioner

I was lucky to purchase these from the first ever BR beauty vault sale. I am extremely impressed they not only smell divine they leave my hair so soft & pleasantly scented, smooth & glossy. It has also helped with my dry itchy scalp - an issue I don't normally have but I developed over the hot summer.My hair is easy to style & I can go for quite a few days between washes. Linden Leaves is one of my favourite brands & this is a great product

I got these from my sister about a week ago. They look great and are cruelty free and everything. The shampoo had a sort of globby consistency and didn't work up much of a lather. I could feel it in my hair though, and smell rosemary all around and it does get my hair clean. The conditioner smells only slightly orangey, and not much like mint. I find it very moisturising and come away from every wash with shiny and fresh rosemary-smelling hair.

I was very lucky to score this in the very first vault. At the time I was in search of more natural, organic SLS-free shampoos and conditioners. The label says has 0% parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil. So I was ecstatic to add this to my collection of shampoos and conditioners. The bottles look a bit high end with the labels. However when I checked the label in the back the shampoo isn't mostly natural or completely sulphate free and the conditioner had even fewer natural ingredients in it. The scent of the shampoo is a herbal scent and you can smell the rosemary and cypress oils, it's a very unisex scent. It's rather thick and lathers pretty well. My hair gets that squeeky, clean feel and my scalp is refreshed afterwards but long, ends up rather tangled. The product is also a bit thick and slightly difficult to get out of the hole in the flip top, especially after the product dries and blocks the hole and I had the same problem with the conditioner. The conditioner has this nice refreshing scent I can't smell the mint so much but I can smell a hint of tangerine but that's pretty much where my love of this product ends. This conditioner didn't do much for my hair especially after the shampoo tangled it up. I found it didn't moisturize much even when I over applied it to the lengths of my hair. It did work well on my scalp though and was refreshing. Given that my hair didn't respond well to this set, I ended up given it away. I'm glad I scored these in the vault because if I had bought these I would've considered it a waste as I've had better results with some cheaper shampoo and conditioners. Also my hair doesn't last as long between washes if I use this in comparison to other brands and this seems to dry it out. I would recommend this however for guys and people with short hair, especially since the scent is very unisex.

I received these as part of a gift set and took them away travelling with me, as they were a very decent size (100ml each). The products were not what I expected – the shampoo was very thick, with an almost jelly-like texture, while the conditioner was very runny. It was the opposite of most other shampoo-conditioner pairings. The screw tops meant that it was hard to control how much product came out, which was frustrating. The shampoo did not foam well and I needed to use lots to get a decent lather. It did smell nice though – I loved the unusual scent, great to see some variation in the market. The conditioner did not do much for my hair but again I enjoyed the unusual scent.

I wouldn’t purchase again due to the formulation being a bit off and the price, which I find too expensive for what it is.
