John Frieda Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner Review

Happy New Year !

Happppppppy New Year !

Happy Neeeeeeeeeeeew Year !

How do you say it ?

I'm more the Haaaaaaaaaaaaaapy New Year types.

Unless of course I feel like a Happy Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew Year. Then I just say that.

How many of you stayed in welcoming the new year ?

I did. I stayed in, tucked under blankets catching up on episodes of The City. And just so I don't feel totally like a loser I wish someone else says they did too. Go on say it. Its the new year, make a good girl feel better...

I really don't know how much more longer I can refer to myself as girl. I'll be 26 in eight days. Indian Lady just has a very weird tone to it. Oh yes, I know, you know what I mean. Lady...

Anyways while I sat at home all bundled up I had something shiny to be happy about among other things. So happy that I even tweeted about it.

My hair.
My hair was awesome.
Totally awesome.
Totally awesome in a Jennifer Aniston kinda way.

I've been using The John Frieda Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner for Dry Hair. The shampoo & conditioner contain Eucalyptus & Peppermint Oils that add a blast of life to my hair and scalp. The peppermint isn't very strong so I'm not left shivering in the shower. And the scent of eucalyptus reminds me of when I was ten. My school was surrounded with eucalyptus trees and its amazing scent ! So calm and refreshing...


Zero Frizz Y'all !

The conditioner is good. Very good actually. But the real hero is the shampoo. Twice I went without using the conditioner and my hair still felt good. I never go without using a conditioner. Haven't in over ten years but just after cleansing with the shampoo my hair was already feeling good. So I got out. There was a little frizz that I had to take care of but other wise it is brilliant !

With the conditioner I have zero frizz. This is a first for me. I didn't have to set my hair or my bangs. Everything just fell into place on its own. That's big given how much hair I have on my head.

Winter Flakes

Before I started on this John Frieda shampoo, I'd been having an issue with dry scalp.A dose of Nizoral, couple of times took care of it. I wanted to throw this in because its winter and a lot you could be facing some unwanted flakes. On my dry scalp this pair of shampoo & conditioner worked well to restore its moisture and has kept me flake free. I haven't had to use Nizoral for weeks now ! Give it a try if you've been having similar issues.

Complete With A Downside

This is one of the most complete shampoos I've tried in a long time. Softness, shine, no frizz, soothing scent, refreshing, non drying - great on all fronts !

Except on the quantity. We only get 8.45 fl.oz for $6.99. Most other drugstore shampoos come in nearly 12.5 fl.oz packs. I'm gonna see if Costco carries one of those humongous sizes of this one. Will let you know if I find it.

As for 2010, this is my year.

I entered 2010 with great hair. You know what they say right ? Anything that happens on the first day of New Year will continue happening all year long. Any year that begins with great hair is going to be a great year !

Y'all agree ?

Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner : Review ; Its Been A Rocky Road

Three months back when I received the Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner my first thought was - Finally, Its About Time ! I had a very good experience with their styling cream that was released earlier this year and I was so looking forward to checking out their shampoos and conditioners. If I could eliminate frizz with just shampoo & conditioner, I wouldn't need a styling frizz fighting product ! Lesser product, more happy me !

Its Been Rocky

Unfortunately the only phrase that describes my relationship best would be - Rocky Relationship. I try and keep away from any sort of negativity on the blog. Its just very draining. But this product was requested for a review a few times and so I decided to share my experience with it.

It was literally a wavy graph. One week I had average good hair, the next week bad. Absolutely no consistency. But throughout the time ( 8 - 10 washes) I never had super duper awesome blossom hair nor did I have parched dry fibers. It fluctuated between good and bad, not great and worst. So in the end because I didn't know what I was gonna get on a particular wash I stopped using it.

What I Liked

The two things I liked was the packing and the scent. The product comes in the one of a kind rubbery bottle that you can easily squeeze and feels so soft in your hands. The scent is the same scent that is in their styling creams - heavenly.

I have heard several other bloggers having very good experience with it. So, if you are interested in trying I'd recommend checking out the 2 oz bottles that cost $10 instead of the 8oz ones which cost $24. I still continue to use their styling products but have given up the shampoo and conditioner.

Price - $24 (8oz)
Purchase - Sephora
Purpose - Frizz Fighting Shampoo & Conditioner For Hair.

Pantene Pro V Moisture Renewal Shampoo & Conditioner Review. For Good Souls With Bad Hair Days

Lemme tell y'all something.

Good hair is life changing.

Life altering.

Having abused my hair with really expensive , some not so expensive totally not working products for a while, I finally found something that did. My first contact with Pantene Pro V Moisture Renewal Shampoo & Conditioner were with these words.
YES YES YES !

Come to mama !

The moisturizing touch of this creamy shampoo and conditioner on my dry, fibrous, frizz filled balloon of hair was nothing short of magic. Its wonderfully soft and silky. So much that I almost wanna lay my face on my hair while sleeping. !

Its amazing what good hair days do to you. I had a bounce in every step I took. I finally let my hair down after keeping it chained with hair ties and scrunchies for so long. I took my new curling iron and created soft waves. All the while my hair lay beautifully on my shoulders only leaving ever so gently with the wind.

Dramatic Much ? I say not.

The drama of good hair can never be too much.

Ooh, I am loving it.

And am never letting go. Ladies its the same rule whether its a man or a shampoo - when you find a real good honest one, hold on to it tight and never let go.



If you are a good person who has been unintentionally been abusing your hair for long and made it a parched dry mass, you've finally come home. This is just for you good souls. What better reward than shiny, silky beautiful hair that slips through your fingers, right ?

So go on good soul, get rewarded for being so good !
