ecostore Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry, Damaged or Coloured Hair

I have quite thick wavy hair that tends to be very dry and often gets straightened, which dries my hair out even more. This shampoo and conditioner didn't dry out my hair (many brands do) and left my hair feeling very soft. The only negative I found was that you needed quite a bit of shampoo to create a similar amount of lather you get from other shampoos; hence you may go through this product faster. The cost (RRP approx. $10.95) for only 100mls, combined with the time it would last compared to other shampoo/conditioners would be the only reason I would be hesitant to buy this myself. Otherwise I really liked the product and found it left my hair in a better condition than many other shampoo/conditioners I have tried.

I was initially drawn to ecostore's shampoo and conditioner for dry, damagaed or coloured hair as I am on a continual search for my holy grail shampoo and conditioner for my dry, damaged AND coloured hair! I liked that ecostore was an environmentally friendly brand that was cruelty-free, and a friend had been recommending using 'natural' haircare to me so I gave it a go.

The packaging is simplistic in design, which I think really suits it's 'natural' image and makes it attractive to men and women of all ages.

I love the scent! It's only very lightly scented and pretty hard to describe but reminds me of essential oils, so not 'chemically' smelling at all.

Onto the products themselves..

The shampoo: I found the shampoo didn't really rather much, but I've heard this is standard for shampoo that uses natural ingredients and it isn't a big thing, just something I'm used to in my standard supermarket brand shampoos! I have long hair and had to use quite a bit to work it through my hair. I also found that it seemed to tangle my hair really easily! Afterwards, my hair did feel nice and clean but not overly stripped and squeaky like some shampoos can do.

The conditioner: The conditioner was similar to a body lotion in consistency and was great for detangling my hair after using the shampoo! Unfortunately, I have really dry ends so I found that this conditioner just didn't provide enough moisture for my hairs needs.

I won't be purchasing these again as they're just not conditioning enough for my hair, but I would recommend them for anyone wanting a nice, natural product who has more normal hair as opposed to overly dry and damaged.

If you have scalp issues then this natural product works great!! Dry and itchy scalp problems that cause breakouts, I find leaving the conditioner in for a day or so worked wonders.

Loved this shampoo and conditioner. It smells really good and you dont need to use a lot so it goes a long way. The only down fall in my opinion is the packaging, its quite hard to balance upside down so if you want to get every last drop out of the bottle, that can be a little tricky.

I brought this shampoo and conditioner to try and used the full bottle of both over a period of 2months. I found it to thoroughly clean my hair and it was left soft without a confronting fragrance! The only trouble I had was it really dried my scalp so much that I got dandruff which I don't usually get, a few washes with a new shampoo and conditioner and it was back to normal. It is a really nice product but unfortunately just didn't work for me this time.

I've been bleaching and dyeing my hair with semi-permanent dyes for a few years now, and as you can guess, my hair is pretty dry. I didn't find the shampoo and conditioner to be particularly moisturising, and they didn't seem to keep the colour in any longer than usual.

I stopped using the shampoo after it gave me dandruff.

I received sample sizes of the Shampoo & Conditioner via a promotion. The shampoo really cleans your hair to the point that it was squeaky clean! The conditioner worked well, my hair was soft and manageable but nothing extraordinary! I did notice that my hair felt as though it was lighter and the product washed out extremely well without leaving a heavy residue. I have to admit though that I can get the same results from cheaper brands. I do like the idea of using natural products on my hair but the scent is definitely something they need to work on. A big part of choosing hair care for me is the scent and this is very natural smelling!

This product definitely does the job of cleaning your hair well so would be a great choice for the environmentally conscious consumer who doesn't mind paying a bit more for a hair cleansing system that gives the same results as cheap brands.

I tried the shampoo and conditioner after receiving a sample via a promotion. I was underwhelmed. They did not have a very nice fragrance (and let's face it, we all want nice smelling hair!), the packaging did not draw me in, and it left my hair feeling quite dry.

I got the detox pack on sale from Eco's website which included the shampoo and conditioner. Loved the shampoo left my hair feeling soft and clean. I didn't like the conditioner my hair felt greasy and heavy I may have used too much. I will try using different amounts to see if things improve. I like the idea of using natural products if they work for me.
