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

My hair-type: Chemically treated, wavy and curly long hair with a tendency to be dry and frizzy.

Before using the Shampoo, I found the ‘au-naturel’ fragrance quite overwhelming. The shampoo felt great on the scalp, but left my hair drier and less smooth than my usual shampoo.

The conditioner was brilliant. It was as effective as my own conditioner, which is specifically for dry, frizzy out of control hair. At this point, I definitely enjoyed the fragrance of the products in ensemble.

The shampoo and conditioner left my hair drier and more prone to tangling than I expected and it took me a little more product and time to style my hair.

The Linden Leaves shampoo and conditioner appealed to me because it is free of harmful chemicals. I would happily pay the retail price if it would make my hair smoother and more manageable. However, just like most natural products, it claims to be suitable for everyone and I disagree with that. It would be great if such products made from natural ingredients could be tweaked to make them more suitable for someone with thin or damaged hair, looking for volume….. or for someone like me, that needs it to do the opposite and tame my hair and make it easier to style.

Being my first product to try I was really excited as soon as it arrived I went and tryed it, The Rosemary and cypress shampoo I found the smell over powering and I did think I was putting household disinfectant into my hair, on the upside it did give me a very clean sculp. The conditioner was just amazing I loved the smell of it and it detangled my long thick hair and I didnt have to comb it afterwards, I just flicked my hair up into a bun and away I went.

I love natural beauty products so was really excited to be chosen to review this natural shampoo and conditioner. I found the packaging to be very pretty and fresh and I liked the idea that it had no nasty chemicals in it that can strip your hair of it's oils. Unfortunately the smell was not for me, I found it to be really strong in both the shampoo and the conditioner. I also felt that I needed to use quite a lot of product on my hair for it to spread easily and form a lather (I do need to add that I have very long hair). Once my hair was dry I found it to be very clean and the smell toned down which I was pleased about. I think I would use this shampoo and conditioner again if I wanted to give my hair a rest from all the other products I use but I have to be honest and say that I do prefer my usual shamppo and conditioner. I think that this product is very over priced as well.

My daughter and I both tryed it, I would have to say I would not buy it as my hair felt like it needed washing again the next day, it felt dry

Hello all! This is my first review and i'm going to be reviewing the linden leaves shampoo and conditioner.

Firstly let me tell you a little bit about the condition of my hair, i'm unnaturally white blonde with red streaks through it. So when looking for shampoo and conditioner I need something nourishing and of course value for money.The shampoo and conditioners major pro's are that they smell beautiful,particularly the conditioner its like drowning yourself in mandarin juice! Yum yum! so for anyone who loves fruity essences this one is an absolute winner!

So both claim to be great for coloured hair, however although they smell beautiful and refreshing. I'm afraid to say it did little to 'boost' the overall colour of my hair. I allowed my hair to dry naturally and I didn't feel as if it felt like anything special. For some reason I also did not particularly like the consistency of the shampoo, it almost reminded me of hotel shampoo! Also I found a little did not go a long way, really had to work it into the hair to make the shampoo lather up beautifully.

So for some people like myself i am a packaging freak! The packing helps me determine my purchase, it has to be eye catching and instantly tell me what i'm in for. The packaging was a let down for me...I know it is available at pharmacies and too be honest it almost reminded me of 'T-GEL' shampoo packaging. Just a little bit dull for my taste! Although perhaps the packaging does scream out to consumers that it is a pharmacy brand. If the set is niche to pharmacies it does have that kind of medicinal feel about it. But for me that is not what I look for with product appearance and packaging,there was just nothing too special about it... disappointing! However I loved how it stated on the packaging 'paraben free', so no nasty ingredients with negative connotations. This is always and important aspect for me when buying any product from shampoo, to skin care.

As far as the RRP being $30.00 I would not pay this, it is definitely not worth the price. Compared to other brands I have used there is nothing overly distinguishing about the products. Typically I use Salon brands like 'sebastion' just because I am so conscious about caring for my hair because it is so blonde at the moment. And too be honest I thought maybe I was a little biased towards the shampoo before I even tried it. However I was lucky enough to be sent the TRESEMME split ends remedy shampoo and conditioner set and I adore this! That definitely trumps the linden leaves!

So to sum up my review, its an OK product, as far as going out of my way to purchase I wouldn't. But if I received it as a gift from someone I would use it, or I would use it to tide me over if I ran out of my normal hair care.

I love the smell, very organic. The conditioner smells like lemon grass, which we used to use it as a shampoo long time ago. They dont give my hair any different from my usual Loreal shampoo and conditioner. But they weight down my hair so i only used twice then i have to back to my old shampoo. But my husband loves them.

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.
