Dr Botanical Daily Shampoo & Conditioner
I have been using the Dr Botanical Shine Enhancing Daily Shampoo and the Complete Daily Conditioner for a few days now, and I like how it makes my hair look and feel.
First Impressions
I really like the presentation of the shampoo and conditioner. I felt that the white presentation box and bottles and the wooden type screw tops really do help portray the image of a company focused on natural ingredients.
Dr Botanical Shine Enhancing Daily Shampoo with Aloe Vera
On first use of the shampoo, I washed my hair twice to get it to lather up, but even on the first wash, my hair felt squeaky clean. Every day since, I have only washed my hair once as I have learnt that it’s actually the synthetic detergent used in other shampoos that create the big lather / foam. There was a very subtle fragrance to this shampoo, and I do mean ‘very subtle’!
Dr Botanical Complete Daily Conditioner with Shea Butter & Argan Oil
The conditioner isn’t like the usual thick creamy consistency you’d expect but more like a lotion. Once washed off, that is when you could really feel the benefits of the conditioner as my hair felt silky. After straightening, my hair felt gorgeously smooth and nourished. The conditioner smelt very nice, and although it was subtle, it wasn’t as subtle as the shampoo.
Final Verdict
I am really enjoying using the Dr Botanical Daily Shampoo and Conditioner and can feel the benefits of using them both. I would definitely recommend anyone with normal or dry hair to try these products, especially if they prefer to use products containing natural ingredients.
MooGoo Natural Milk Shampoo & Cream Conditioner
A silicone-free shampoo and conditioner that looks after your hair and scalp using natural and gentle ingredients.
Why Change to MooGoo
I bought this shampoo and conditioner after noticing red, flakey patches in my daughters scalp. I try not to wash her hair too often because she has curly hair, so I only wash it once or twice a week.
Final Verdict
After only a few washes the red, flakey patches were gone. I have also noticed that it really helps encourage both of my daughters’ curly hair. The shampoo lathers up really well and feels squeaky clean once washed off, and the conditioner made the hair feel silky and soft. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell really nice and natural. The other great thing about some of the MooGoo products is that you can purchase large, refill pouches that are 100% recyclable, helping to save on plastic.
Where to Buy
I purchased these directly from MooGooSkincare.co.uk. They also offer a Loyalty Program where you can earn £5 for every £50 spent!
Pantene Pro-V Micellar Purify & Nourish
You know that feeling you get when you change shampoo and conditioner and the first wash makes your hair feel amazing but subsequent washes just don’t have that same affect? Well… Pantene’s new Pro-V Micellar shampoo and conditioner has made my hair feel like the first wash every time!
I am one of the lucky 5,000 savvy circlers to be chosen to try out the new Pantene Pro-V Micellar Purify & Nourish shampoo, conditioner and foam conditioner which is meant to “purify and nourish hair without stripping its natural nutrients” and “provides all the strength our hair needs without the weight”.
I LOVE the Pantene Micellar shampoo, it lathers up really well and once washed out my hair felt squeaky clean. The Pantene Micellar conditioner was great too, once washed off my hair felt so soft and silky. Both products had, what I call, the distinctive Pantene scent.
Also, I found that when it came to straighten my hair it was a lot easier and quicker to straighten and my hair felt smooth afterwards.
Although the shampoo and conditioner were great, the new Pantene foam conditioner wasn’t so good. Applying it to my hair was easy, it washed out fine and my hair felt silky and smelt lovely but within less than 24 hours my hair felt greasy!
I suffer with spots in my scalp but since using the Pantene Micellar shampoo and conditioner the amount of spots I have has dramatically reduced.
When talking to other people about Pantene I was surprised at how many of them didn’t rate it, with one person saying that their hair dresser told them not to use Pantene because it’s not good for their hair!
Personally, I like Pantene and have never experienced any problems with the brand and will continue to use their products, in between trying out new hair care products.
