Now I don't know about you but I hate washing my hair. Before you judge me this is not because I don't like clean and lovely smelling hair. It is because I have the thickest hair in the world and washing and styling it is a real chore.
Growing up I washed my hair but rarely did I ever dry it, why simply because it took more than an hour to dry with a hair dryer. What a chore.
So I would tie it up and leave it to naturally dry, only that never happened. I would wash it every other day and when it was time for the next wash yes you guessed right my hair was often still wet.
As an adult I have continued this same love hate relationship, I love clean hair but hate the drying part of the routine. Drying my hair takes well over an hour and I can think of a million and one other things I would like to be doing.
So trying new shampoos, conditioners and styling products eases the pain and makes the chore of washing my locks a more pleasant one.
So when I popped into BeautyMART and saw Concoction lemon and verbena shampoo that you can personalise to your own hair I had to give it a go.
First you choose your base shampoo choices Bakhour (exotic woody aroma), Lemon and Verbena, Black Pepper and Citrus and Rosemary and Mint.
You then choose two superserum shots. I opted for High definition blonde and thermo straight.
You snap of the tops and mix with your shampoo. Give it a good old shake and away you go your very own personalised shampoo is ready.
The Concoction shampoo had a lovely fresh lemon scent when washing my hair which lasted well after the wash.
The high definition blonde superserum had chamomile which definitely added shine to my otherwise dry blonde locks. But the best bit of all had to be the thermo straight superserum which not only protected my hair from my straighteners but the aloe and cucumber added hydration.
Concoction is a great shampoo that I really enjoyed using and I will definitely be trying other shampoos and superserums.

I will let you know if it keeps on making my hair shiny. Normally after a while my hair gets used to a shampoo but so far so good Lucy
DeleteThis is such an interesting idea, I've never seen anything like it before! It sounds lovely :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt is a unique idea and means you can match the shampoo to your hair type. Hope they will bring out some more supershots Lucy x
DeleteWhat?! This is so cool! What a unique idea, for sure. So much simpler than browsing through the endless walls of shampoos, too!

I can never find an exact shampoo to match what my hair needs so this is a good way of tailoring to your specific hair Lucy
DeleteWow this shampoo sounds fantastic. I have never heard of it before. Fingers crossed it is availabe in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThey sell it in a few places in the UK ASOS, BeautuMartUK and direct from the companies site. I like the idea of tailoring my own shampoo definitely going to try the aspirin trick Lucy
DeleteYou feel the exact same way I do. I have thick hair and it is a pain to wash. I have to dry it now that I cut it short and got bangs, but normally I would air dry it. Great review.

Having thick hair has its advantages you will never go bald. I often joke that I could donate some and still have plenty. Thanks for your comment Lucy
Deletethis looks really interesting! great review!

It's a good shampoo that I can personalise to whatever my hair needs. Hope the wedding plans are going well Lucy x
DeleteThis sounds really interesting. I really hate drying my hair. It's naturally curly and a nightmare. Fortunately it doesn't get greasy easily so I can leave it for at least 3 days between washes.

Your so lucky curly hair is so beautiful and if it needs washing every three days even better.
DeleteWe would love thick hair like you Lucy :-) Can't imagine the drying part, 1 hour...eeekk! This is an amazing idea! Thank you for sharing; loved reading about this product - it's nice to personalise products to get the maximum benefits.

The washing part sucks every time it needs washing an hour and a half is needed boring. But personalised products definitely makes it more enjoyable x
DeleteAh, you come up with the neatest finds! I love Lemon Verbena fragrance. My hair is very fine, so it is a snap to dry. While I so envy gals with super thick hair, I cannot imagine having to take so long to dry my hair! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful fragrance. It is a pain to take so long to dry but having long hair I can wear it lots of different ways so I guess that's a plus x
