ecostore Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry, Damaged or Coloured Hair

I didn't manage to finish this shampoo and conditioner, the smell to me is terrible, it was not a pleasant experience and my hair was left dry and knotty after the first wash that I didn't repeat it. Perhaps it would get better with regular use but I wasn't willing to put up with the smell

I received this as a sample last year from their website so I was looking forward to trying out something that was completely natural and eco friendly but I have to say that I was let down by this brand because it left my hair dryer then normal, did not hold my curls and there was no shine to my hair and barely any scent to it...I would never purchase this.

I am currently away on holiday and as i was packing my suitcase i remembered that i got sent the shampoo and conditioner 35mls of this from eco store some time last year but had forgotten about them and thought they would be perfect for traveling! Lets start with the shampoo, it is a clear liquid it's not to thin but not to thick either and it lathers up really nice. I only need to use a fifty cent size piece for all of my past the shoulder hair. The little bottle that it came in was easy to fit in my beauty bag and had a screw top, it has very simple packaging as you can tell the brand cares more about the product in side not about the look of the outside. It has no nasty chemicals in it and it smells like tea tree oil but not an over powering smell, the smell does not last in my hair. The 35ml has lasted me around a week. I cant really comment on the price as i got this as a sample but if i was to pay $12 for a 250ml bottle or around that i would be very disappointed because in my opinion this shampoo has been terrible for my hair! it is meant to be for dry, damaged or coloured hair and i have all of the above. It has made my hair feel drier then normal and in the shower when my hair is wet it feels like straw, as for damaged it hasn't helped in the week i have been using it and it hasn't done anything wonderful for my coloured hair. It defiantly didn't live up to its claims. Now for the conditioner! it's a thick white formula, i use a big amount all through my hair as once i have used the shampoo my hair feels so dry and straw like, that i have to put heaps of conditioner through to try to make it feel soft again, it sort of worked but i have to use a lot of product. Like the shampoo it's easy to apply, has the same smell as the shampoo and the smell doesn't last. I didn't like the shampoo and conditioner which i am really disappointed about as Eco Store seems like an amazing NZ brand, they have no nasty chemicals in these two products and there cruelty free. I wouldn't recommend to a friend but i would happily try something else from there brand.

I brought this conditioner from the supermarket with high hopes (I always buy the laundry powder, laundry liquid, dishwash and handsoap); I have a sensitive scalp and this irritated it after 3 uses. It also left my hair tangled. I didn't buy the shampoo at all, as I only shampoo once a week. I really wanted to like this product but I will not be purchasing again. Will stick to the cleaning products though.

This product started off really well when I was washing my hair. The shampoo made it feel a little bit "straw" like, but nothing too terrible and a problem usually solved by the conditioner, however after applying the conditioner and rinsing out, the longer I left my hair to dry, the worse it became. My hair felt horrible, really dry and just yuck. Maybe it just isn't suited to curly hair? Who knows, but I certainly won't be using it again sorry.

I'm not fussed by this product, it is much like many other Shampoo and Conditoners that you can buy from the supermarket (except this one is more expensive). The only thing I would vote in its favour for is the 'feel goods' of buying a natural product that is trying its hardest not to be harmful to the environment

Totally skeptical about using a non salon product on my Hair I gave this set a go anyway.

Firstly.. The Shampoo is wonderful. I noticed after one wash my hair felt soft and silky and nice and clean.. Lovely light formula and not heavy at all.

With great success with the Shampoo I proceeded to Condition my hair and this is where things got pretty damn ugly..

My hair is a thick, mermaid wavy, dry and color damaged mess! I have never met a product on this mop that was too heavy as usually my hair soaks up all the goodness it can get from hair products.. What can I say.. Never again.

My hair was SO HEAVY after using the Conditioner.. Felt incredibly dry and actually felt like it had made my hair matted?! I was absolutely horrified. My hair whilst still in the shower after rinsing this stuff off actually felt like it was dreading together like dreadlocks.. And I felt like I couldn't get rid of this at all!

I am not big on having to have the matching Shampoo and Conditioner so it doesn't bother me that the Conditioner isn't to my liking so much.. But it bothers me that a Conditioner.. Which is meant to be the moisturizing icing on the hair washing cake.. ACTUALLY did what it did to my hair.

Highly recommend the Shampoo its beautiful. Steer clear of the Conditioner.. ESPECIALLY if you don't like weighty products and ESPECIALLY if your hair genuinely needs TLC!

Having loved all of the other Ecostore products I tried, I was quite keen to try this. I love the fact that they are a New Zealand brand and are dedicated to creating products that are good for your body and the environment as well with no nasties.

Unfortunately, this did absolutely nothing for my hair and left it just as dry and damaged as before. The fragrance was nice and the product was easy to use with a nice consistency but the fact that it just didn't work means that there is no way I would bother repurchasing again.

This shampoo really didn't do it for me. It made my hair really dry and I had to use heaps of conditioner to be able to it not be knotty. I expected more from Eco Store as I enjoy using their soap and hand wash but was unfortunately let down :(
