My hair stylist recommended these products to me when I started getting Keratin treatment last December. The recommendation was based on the state of my hair and what I wanted to achieve with my hair care regime. I have had my hair chemically straightened, dyed (highlighted, balayage) and to top it off - regular use of hair straigteners so it's fair to say that my hair was frizzled, frazzled and nearing it's time.
I really enjoy the way it leaves my hair feeling soft, manageable and healthy. I feel that it doesn't strip the life (or what little of it I have left) in my hair. It's easier for me to run my hands through my hair and I can easily put it up without having to deal with this mop of a mess that I had prior to last year. When I straighten my hair I notice that there is more of a healthy soft shine. No hair care has ever felt as nourishing as these two products.
I wash my hair twice a week and my bottles have lasted me almost 8 months because I've stuck to my hairstylist's advice. Shampoo hair twice, first shampoo use a 50c size amount to get rid of the days' worth of product build-up and oil (you may not see any lather during this time). Second shampoo in a 20c size amount to actually "wash" your hair (you should see a nice lather of goodness). Lastly my favorite part the conditioner - ahhhhhhh massage in a 20c size amount but I prefer the 50c size (oh yes I'm living on the edge)!
The only issues I have with this is that it leaves my hair "fluffy" sometimes and the price. When the Keratin starts to wear off I notice my hair is "fluffier" than usual but it's nothing to cry about. I bought my products from my salon; Style Counsel (Epsom, Auckland) and if I remember correctly it was roughly $50-$60 for both - well worth it if you stick to the "coin" amounts because at the end of the day that's all you really need.
All soft has won time and time again in the beauty awards for NZ i am a hairdresser and at the basin it is my go to product and never fails to make my clients hair look, feel and smell amazing. Its a defiant favorite for all hair types although i would recommend a product with more protein to those worried about damaged hair such as the Extreme range by redken :)
