I received some samples of the shampoo and conditioner and was really excited to try this brand. Especially because this brand prides itself on being natural and not full of other nasties that some shampoos and conditioners have. I love their hand soap and cleaning products so was really hoping I would love this pair as well.
First of all, I got about 6 uses out of the trial size and I have to say I'm glad I didn't buy the full sizes!
The packaging is distinctively Eco Store, white and plain. It's look is simple and effective, for its natural and healthy image.
The fragrance is different to other shampoos and conditioners, and smells rather like the products in their other ranges. It took me a little while to get used to, but I guess that's what happens when you have a product as natural as possible!
The shampoo only lathered slightly, but it did make my hair feel clean - but my hair was slightly more tangly than usual afterwards. The conditioner was rather thick consistency but was not very moisturising at all. My hair was very tangly and hard to work with after using this.
I have to say I'm really disappointed with this shampoo and conditioner. My blonde highlighted hair craves moisture, which this duo did not give. After using these for a week my hair was extremely dry and desperately needed some tlc.
I was relieved to get back to using my salon products- Kerastase and Aveda that do a wonderful job of giving moisture and hydration to my blonde locks.
Unfortunately I wouldn't repurchase this duo as they weren't effective for my hair.
However, I definitely will continue buying Eco Store products, but will just stick to buying cleaning products instead of shampoo/conditioner!
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!
Tips: The shampoo is lovely.. Genuinely lovely. The Conditioner is horrible. Quite possibly the worst I have EVER used in my life =(
