12 washes with #LOVELONGHAIR

My hair after 12 washes with #LOVELONGHAIR blind samples. Shiny & manageable. I #LOVELONGHAIR. I pray they grow longer!

Ever since this blind-test shampoo/conditioner landed in my mailbox , there has been a lot of excitement, apprehension, confusion, besides deciding whether to test this product on my precious hair or not. I took the plunge and got back after 2 washes here. And now , before the brand will be revealed to me tomorrow, here is my review after 12 washes.

Pre-treatment: I have washed pre-oiled hair thrice out of these 12 washes. Remaining washes were without pre-treatment.

Frequency: Due to an overly oily scalp , I wash my hair every alternate day.

Usage: I always use shampoo with the conditioner as my hair are frizzy . Whenever my hair were oiled , I used the shampoo twice to remove the excess oil.

My Experience after 12 washes:

1. Hair Texture: My hair are smoother , manageable and less frizzy than before.
2. Shampoo: Like I said earlier , it doesn't lather too much which is a good sign . This indicates a balanced use of SLS according to me. But I cannot comment further as this is based on my assumptions and the bottles have no ingredient labels. Whatever it is, it feels mild on the hair and doesn't strip the hair of its natural oils.
3. Conditioner:  The conditioner is neither too thin nor too thick and washes off easily.
I would always recommend every hair-wash to be followed by 3-5 minutes of conditioner application.
4. Is your nose sensitive to strong fragrance? Then there is good news as both the conditioner and the shampoo have a faint floral smell that doesn't irritate sensitive noses.


To sum it up, no negatives that I can count . This is a mild everyday shampoo that seems to love my hair. Lets wait and see what brand this is and then well, you & me can just hit the stores :)

Till next time....CIAO!

Update: The #LOVELONGHAIR experience

Hey people.

So you must be curious to know my experience after first 2 washes of this blind-test shampoo/conditioner.( If you don't know what I am referring to, read about the product I received in my mail here.)
Many of you expressed your concern about the possible damages in accpeting such a challenge. Given my adventurous self, I decided to go ahead and give this range a try nonetheless. So here's the news:


Hair type: Black/wavy
Scalp: Oily
Pet peeve: Frizzy hair
Length: A little above my waist
Wear: I generally leave my hair open with a little puff. Tie them up only during a workout.

1st WASH:

Pre-treatment: Yes. I had oiled my hair a night before with coconut oil

Shampoo: Medium consistency. Pearly white in color. Lathers much lesser than usual shampoos. A big HAPPY DANCE, because this implies lesser usage of harmful SLS . My hair didn't feel squeeky clean after one wash. So re-applied to let the oil wash off.

Conditioner: Again, medium consistency. Not mentioned if I can use on scalp. So i used it only on my hair below the scalp. Left it for 5minutes, Best part is this conditioner spreads well in the hair without leaving clumps here and there in the case of thicker conditioners.

RATING: A+ to the 1st wash experience ! My hair felt extremely soft with a gentle fragrance. This is a mild shampoo which doesn't strip your hair of natural oils and keeps the shine intact.


2nd WASH:

Pre-treatment: No. I didn' t use any oil and washed my hair after 2 days of the 1st wash.

RATING: Inspite of not oiling my hair, the end result was same as before. Made me happy because this means I can do with less frequent oiling and still get gorgeous shiny hair when I am running out of time! Now this is something wow as this means the shampoo is less chemical and more of natural extracts. I just wish this is true! Though we cannot predict until , the product is revealed !th
A+ to the 2nd wash!

And now, I will be back after 10 washes :)

Till then , I #LOVELONGHAIR. Hope you do too!

You have known my obsession for long hair ever since the blog started. My lab is always abundant with shampoos from all over the globe which claim to be the best.I have been using them up and still waiting to find the best. And then this happened.

Love Long Hair walked into my mailbox almost as if by magic. Two bottles. Plain white. No fancy labels. No ingredient labels. Just- LOVE LONG HAIR. So what do we call it? Ofcourse, the LOVE LONG HAIR range. Yes, I totally love long hair ! This is the first time I will be experimenting with a shampoo/conditioner who's brand name will be revealed only after I have had 12 washes! People have warned me. They say beware. But I can tell you one thing. The brand must really be confident to do something like this. And I can't wait to let their confidence show in my hair. My long hair ! So Stay tuned. I will be back after the 1st two washes :)
