Conditioner Description

Key Benefits
Active vegetable ingredients improve structure of hair.
Made in Italy, the Italian Damask Rose in both products are grown by Agronatura farmers. Agronatura is located in the Monferrato - Piemonte, Italy's medicinal herb valley and has been producing organic medicinal herbs and essential oils since 1986

The brand uses active ingredients in herbs to produce organic and eco-compatible cosmetics. On both packagings, it states that their ingredients are from organic agriculture and the product is a certified organic cosmetic.

I purchased these products last month from Naturelova which has stockists in some places locally. You can check it here.

There was an online promotion where I paid $28 for the 250ml shampoo and receive a free 150ml conditioner. The original retail price is $28 for each product which is expensive.
From the first day of usage, right to the last drop, I found it hard to fall in love with them.

The 250ml shampoo, housed in a handy size with a flick-top cap has a nice floral scent which is their Italian Damask Rose fragrance. Please be reminded to shake it before use, to get the composition of the contents correct.
The light green gel-like contents do not foam and has little suds. It made the hair straw-like during hair cleansing and tangle my hair. In addition, the shampoo is too mild for my hair type as it gets oily by end of the day if I did not wash it in the morning.

My usual routine is to wash my hair in the evening after work but this method does not work well when I was using this shampoo hence I have to shampoo my hair once in the morning, in order to reduce the possibility of having a greasy mop of hair by end of the day. And shampoo-ed again, after work, so that I can sleep with clean hair.
The conditioner at a smaller size of 150ml tube depleted fast as I used alot in trying to get rid of the kinks in the hair after the shampoo-ing process but sadly it does not help much.
The dark brown creamy conditioner appears to apply well on the hair but it does nothing much to condition or detangle the hair. There is no difference to my hair texture and structure when I skipped the conditioner.

While I do have softer hair at the end of each cleansing but the kinks in the hair are simply bothersome and the straw-like effect during the shampoo process is not a pleasant experience.
