Hey everyone! I shared with you all a few weeks ago that I recently dyed my hair. This isn't new for me, but I've never gone this blonde before. Going this blonde means that I have a lot of upkeep with this. Which means I purchased the purple toner shampoo and conditioner to lock in that color. Even though I've been loving the color, I feel that the shampoo and conditioner do lock in my color, but my hair hasn't been it's very best lately. It's not as shiny, it's more frizzy and it's definitely not as soft as it usually is. I just started to wonder if there was a hair wash that could lock in color AND keep my hair looking it's best. Enter Formulate!
I have seen a few hair care sites where you can customize your own shampoo and conditioner, but I always feel like it's so much work. Why can't I just enter a few pieces of information and get your perfect hair care? With Formulate you totally can. Taking the survey to create my own shampoo and conditioner was the easiest process ever. It took less than ten minutes and at the end of it I was given a whole recipe that showed exactly what is going into my products.
I received my products in less than a week and was extremely pleased with how aesthetic the packaging was. As I said before, the recipe of my shampoo and conditioner came in the packaging and showed everything that was in my products. My favorite part about this customization was the scent. I love tropical smelling shampoos and I got to select the coconut scent. I was pleasantly overwhelmed with the scent when I opened the package for the first time. Plus, the smell lingered through the day which is a huge bonus.
I was honestly surprised at how much I loved this product right away. Most of the time I don't really notice a difference with hair products, just more of if it works or not. When I started to notice how quickly these Formulate products started to repair the damage from the dye in my hair I was shocked. I think it took about three washes for me to notice a huge difference.
I am a "night-time" shower person, especially since I go to the gym after work, I have to shower before I go to bed. After the first wash I noticed the smell right away! It even smelt amazing the next morning as I was getting ready for work. I also noticed how less frizzy my hair was (the purple shampoo & conditioner that I was using just wasn't benefiting my hair at all except for keeping the blonde in). After about the third wash was when I felt a difference in my hair. It was thicker and softer.
Again, something I didn't realize until now is that the purple shampoo and conditioned just wasn't washing my hair thoroughly. I thought it was just getting greasy from the gym, but it was more than that. It just wasn't cleaning my hair. The Formulate products weren't only washing my hair but keeping my color in it's place too. That was the most important thing to me when finding a new shampoo and conditioner because my hair was bleach blonde- I need some color protection.
Overall, I was extremely happy with Formulate. I have never been obsessed with a hair product, but there's a first for everything! I'm also hosting a giveaway with Formulate, start customizing your very own shampoo and conditioner today! Click here to enter the giveaway!
