About the products
The Lovely Smoothing Shampoo contains Indian fig extract and states it is for dry frizzy hair, I have that on occasion. The Lovely Smoothing Conditioner contains Borage oil and indicates its use for harsh and frizzy hair. The instructions suggest that you apply evenly the right amount of product on towel dried hair, leave in hair for a few minutes, rinse well.
I mixed the shampoo with my last Tresemme Luxurious moisture conditioner, I wanted to add as much conditioning potential to this shampoo as possible. I only had a little left, see below.
My research on the ingredients:
I decided to look up the benefits of Borage oil for my own knowledge. I found it is found helpful for inflamed hair follicles, dry scalp, and thinning hair because of the fatty acids found in the oil. I could not find any other information on why Indian Fig extract is good for hair other than that Davines uses it as well as a few other hair product producers.
The verdict:
I found the products to be good smelling, reminding me of citrus and some of the better smelling relaxers I used a few years ago. ( I know that sounds odd most perms do not smell good, but I had a few that did). I found that after using the products my hair felt moisturized for a day or so after dry. In my eyes this is a success, I don't know that this will be a product I use regularly. Actually I know it is not simply because it contains sulfates. Overall though I will use the remainder of the product until it is gone.
