Advantages: gives glossy sleek finish

Disadvantages: pricey

I have brown naturally curly hair that I have been styling straight for years now and I feel that I have finally come up with the perfect routine to make my hair as sleek and manageable as it can be for a curly mop!
I think this is an excellent shampoo although I do prefer how the "original" makes my hair feel as opposed to the Volumising, which my hair doesn't really need.

The shampoo is designed specifically for brunette hair (there are also ranges for blonde and red hair too). The choice for brunette hair is hazelnut to chestnut (lighter brown) or chocolate to espresso (darker brown).

You can also choose from Original, Moisturising or Volumising.

Now for the science bit :)

It's not a hair colour, rather an enhancer - it brings out your natural highlights and makes my hair super shiny - basically it helps my hair look the best it can. It also repairs damage by "filling in and mending porous areas of hair strands" - basically to smooth the hair shaft and help it to reflect light therefore making it sleeker!

Its quite expensive at around £4.70 for 250mls but sometimes there are offers on which are worth stocking up on.

One way to keep the cost down is to use a basic shampoo on first wash, and then this brunette one on my second wash.

My top tip is to do a final rinse with cold water :)

Its been a fave in my bathroom cabinet now, I have tested a lot of products out there and this one can stay :)

Summary: it works and its worth the cost
