Wheat amino acids and soy proteins restore strength and shine, while essential oils of grapefruit, lemon and neroli provide an uplifting aroma. Safe for color-treated hair.

Yet another 2 products from the same travel kit as the shower gel , the 30ml sizes depleted quite fast, especially the conditioner as I usually apply a generous layer on my long dry hair ends.
Made of pure coconut soap with herbal infusions of periwinkle, sage leaves, chamomile flowers and other natural ingredients, such as willow bark and burdock root, this aromatic shampoo contains no sodium lauryl sulfate or synthetic artificial color. It is touted to help the hair to resist the stress of pollution, coloring and styling but for the price, I do find the performance to be average.

The conditioner claimed to eliminate tangles and leave hair healthy and glossy with its lightweight and moisture-rich texture. Natural vegetable oils replenish lipid content while protein and vitamins restore strength and shine. Citrus and Neroli extracts provide a refreshing, stimulating scent that lasts for hours. It can also be used as a leave-in conditioner.

The shampoo, in dark orange colour has a higher fluidity than the conditioner which is thick and creamy in an off-white colour. It has an aromatic lavender and rosemary scent while the conditioner smells of citrus scent.
The shampoo, an award-winning item, has little suds and required lots of massaging into the hair. It left my hair slightly straw-like when its wet during shower so my fingers have some difficulty to comb through. Yet my hair is soft when its dry. However, it left some build-up in my hair, which causes dandruff.
The conditioner, which won Instyle Best Beauty Buys 2011 left my hair soft and bouncy however it failed to detangle my hair fully, probably only 1/4 of the tangled knots.

At Makeupalley, the shampoo scored 3.7 from 21 users and 4.2 from 82 reviewers for the conditioner.
At Total Beauty, the conditioner scored an impressive 9.9 from 8 reviewers.
