  • Kérastase Symbiose

    Kérastase Symbiose

    J’ai reçu ces deux produits gratuitement pour partager mon opinion honnête à leur sujet.

    J’ai reçu le Micro-peeling cellulaire exfoliant à l’acide salicylique et le masque revitalisant essentiel à l’acide salicylique et au squalane.

    SYMBIOSE

    Symbiose est une alliance puissante d’efficacité antipelliculaire et de soin luxueux. Il élimine les pellicules en régulant la vitesse de renouvellement cellulaire et hydrate en profondeur pour reconstituer les fibres. Symbiose offre 7 semaines d’efficacité antipelliculaire.

    Micro-Peeling Cellulaire

    Une formule purifiante avec de l’acide micro-peeling et des billes à base de plantes pour exfolier instantanément les cellules mortes et les squames, purifier le cuir chevelu et apaiser l’inconfort.

    Masque Revitalisant Essential

    Formule ultra soignante, spécialement conçue pour les fibres abîmées et le cuir chevelu à pellicules.

    J’étais ravie de recevoir ces produits car j’avais beaucoup de pellicules ces derniers temps et je pensais que ces produits m’aideraient à résoudre ce problème, mais je me trompais.

    Non seulement ces produits n’ont pas aidé mais ils ont semblé aggraver le problème, j’ai d’abord remarqué que j’avais un peu de pellicules lorsque je me grattais la tête et même après avoir lavé mes cheveux, elles étaient toujours là, alors quand j’ai reçu ces produits, j’étais contente et j’ai décidé de les utiliser immédiatement, même pas trois jours après les avoir utilisés, mon cuir chevelu est devenu nettement plus sec et les pellicules ont augmenté au point d’être très apparentes, surtout à la racine des cheveux.

    J’ai même essayé d’utiliser une brosse à dents souple lors du shampooing, mais cela n’a eu que peu ou pas d’effet et je me suis retrouvée avec tellement de pellicules que j’ai décidé d’arrêter d’utiliser ces produits et de me laver avec mon shampooing et mon après-shampooing habituels. Mes squames sont toujours là mais je me rends compte que j’ai besoin d’un nouveau shampooing clarifiant car ce n’est pas mon cuir chevelu qui est le problème mais l’accumulation de produits et l’utilisation de ces produits a rendu mon cuir chevelu plus sec qu’il n’aurait dû l’être.

    Je ne me lavais plus les cheveux toutes les semaines, ce qui a contribué à l’augmentation de l’accumulation de produits. Maintenant que je me lave à nouveau toutes les semaines, je remarque que mes pellicules ne sont plus vraiment là, que la racine de mes cheveux ne ressemble plus à une montagne enneigée et que je peux me gratter la tête sans que des flocons ne tombent sur mon tee-shirt.

    Je suis sûre que ces produits fonctionnent pour certaines personnes, celles qui en ont réellement besoin, mais je ne fais apparemment pas partie de ces personnes.

  • Haircember

    I don’t know if you guys have noticed yet but I love a good hair product, I will buy all the hair things if I could, I frequently get Shampoo, Conditioner, Masque, Leave-in, Gel, Curl Activators, and Hair oils but there are so many more products that I haven’t bought yet!

    December was definitely my month for trying out new products, some from my favorite brands and others that I’ve never used before, I’ll tell you all about my likes and dislikes below.

    Herbal Essences Pure

    Since the lockdown began I haven’t been out to shop for Hair products on my own so I was looking on Amazon and I usually like to buy a whole set so I can get the full effect. I was going to buy some Garnier Ultra Doux because those are always my first choice but I saw a bundle for Herbal Essences Pure Aloe Vera & Avocado Oil on sale for 9,87€ it was available for 13,58€.

    The bundle included three products:

    Shampoo

    The Shampoo claims that it gently cleans and soothes your hair and scalp.

    Conditioner

    The conditioner is supposed to be nourishing and gently moisturizes your hair and scalp.

    Masque

    The masque claims to nourish and soften your hair while moisturizing your scalp.

    To complete my order I also picked up Herbal Essences Pure Argan & Aloe Oil on sale for 4,51€ I thought it was Aloe and Avocado but I’m fine with it, the price was 4,80€ at the time of this post.

    Smoothing formula that protects hair from breakage.

    Final Verdict

    I find the Shampoo to be very gel-like instead of creamy like my usual Shampoos, it does not take a lot to lather which means I’ll probably have this bottle for a while, the scent isn’t strong, it’s what I imagine a Bio Shampoo to smell like, a bit earthy like freshly cut grass, it doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave it feeling greasy which is the most important in my opinion. I’d say that while it’s not my absolute favorite I’d consider using it again if I can’t find any of the usual go tos.

    The conditioner isn’t anything special, to be honest, it hydrates my hair well enough and doesn’t leave it feeling dry after washing it out. I can’t say I’d reach for it even if I was desperate.

    The masque is a bit thick and doesn’t seem to coat my hair well so I end up using it even more to make sure every strand is saturated. I feel like it doesn’t nourish the hair well when you leave it on for more than 5 minutes.

    The oil is fairly light and I light to spray some on the next day when I’m refreshing my hair. I would pick this up again.

    On a whole, these products get a 4/5.

    Garnier Fructis Hair Food

    My husband is the one that picked this up for me, I was out of a leave-in conditioner and I asked him if he could pick some up for me while he was out shopping. He came home with this and I was like…this is a masque, I wanted a leave-in. This masque is actually Multi-Purpose, it can be used as a masque, a detangler, or as a leave-in. I’ve only used it as a leave-in since I do all my detangling with my conditioner.

    As a leave-in this masque is really good, it is thick but I feel like it absorbs better than the Herbal Essences, it leaves my hair feeling soft and light, I will definitely be picking this up again.

    I give this masque a 5/5.

    Kérastase

    I’d never tried this brand before but heard of them so when I was offered the chance to get free samples I jumped on it and I am glad I did!

    The samples I received were:

    Kérastase Nutritive Bain satin 2 (Shampoo) 21,81€ on Amazon

    Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense – Thick Hair (Masque) 38,00€ on Amazon

    I’m not going to lie but I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to try out such small packets but they were all I really needed.

    The Shampoo lathered extremely well and my hair felt quite literally like satin after rinsing it out. I was impressed. I didn’t even condition my hair afterward just moved on to the masque and the glide I got, it was like magic. Just 5 products and my hair were soft, hydrated, and light! I know what you’re thinking, 5 products is a lot, not for me though lol, I use a pre-poo, shampoo, masque, conditioner, leave-in, and oil. A total of 6 products every wash day. So using just 5 is amazing to me. Who knows maybe I will find a good 2 in one that will eliminate the need for a Shampoo and Conditioner one day. But for now, I give Bain Satin 2 and Masquintense a 5/5.

    Well, these are all the Hair Products that I used in December, truth be told I’m looking forward to discovering new faves in 2021.
