Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner was recommended to me by a friend five years ago, and honestly I have never looked back.
I have long, fine hair that breaks easily. I find that by using this shampoo and conditioner regularly I can go much longer between haircuts as I'm not getting those fuzzy dry split ends. So even though the product is $35 a bottle, it is saving me money on haircuts.
As noted in other reviews the shampoo smells of liquorice and the conditioner of peppermint. I don't mind either and do particularly love the fresh peppermint smell - but even if you weren't a fan don't worry, your hair doesn't keep those smells! It just smells nice and fresh.
The shampoo has a great lather and the conditioner is thick and luxurious - you only need a small amount (20 cent piece size for my hair).
I do use semi-permanent hair colour upon occasion and it definitely makes the colour last longer.
100% vegan ingredients, and the bottle is made with 50% recycled materials. Vegan means no testing on animals either.
I cannot recommend this product enough! I love it so much that it was my one treat to myself when I had my baby and finances were tight. I love it enough that my husband is forbidden from using it because it is mine mine mine!
I was really excited to try this product as everyone and their mum seems to really like it. First off the smell.. Yuk! I couldn't stand it it's a familiar smell that I couldn't put my finger on. The packaging is probably the best thing about this product because the top is flat I can stand it upside down to get all the product in saying that I gave it to my mum when I was about halfway through. I don't have super damaged hair but I do heat style and dye it every 6-8 weeks and I'm terrible at getting hair cuts. From what it says on the bottle you only need a small amount but I had to put one wash through which didn't lather then go in again with the same amount (2 50cent pieces) to get a lather that is enough to clean my whole head of hair. It leaves my hair feeling stripped and the conditioner isn't hydrating at all. After washing my hair was shiny but quite dry and I had to wash every second day where as I normally would wash every 4 days.
