L'Occitaine shampoo & conditioner (free with this months InStyle mag) is lurvely

[MrsMeow]

i've just washed my dry, coloured over and over and over, hair in this to give it a try and I am really impressed. It feels really clean and soft and smells fab - a bit Vosene-ish but not quite as medicinal. I think the mag only cost me £2.50 so its well worth a try :)

It's this one.

Safe with Brazilian blow dry?

cjbk does it say somewhere it does not contain sodium chloride? can't find it.

must be good as it's sold out here :(

Sorry eccles I was asking rather than stating, I can't see an ingredient list in that link so I'd have to see if the have the mag/shampoo in local tesco express x

Ok cjbk1 online it just has loads of fluffy nice ingredients, no mention of any nasties so could well be. if you manange to get one and read the ingredients do let me know sounds good from the reviews online and I am always on the hunt for my holy grail of hair products

It will almost certainly contain salt. Even the Brazilian keratin range contains salt now.

Also sent off for the free haircut for hubby and free mini mani for me great deals in this months Instyle

DS is in the shower so can't look at the minute but there's a more in depth list of ingredients on the bottle itself if you want me to check for you cjbk1?

mrs i would be interested to know if its no bother... get on in there wih him

Yes please meow

well, bought the mag today and sadly it does contain sodium chloride might try it anyway.

Actually; I tried to check the ingredients in Morrison's today but I ripped the plastic wrapping so looked like I was trying to steal it so I hastily put it down! then I ended up in tesco later and I could see sodium chloride listed so I didn't bother...think my hair's getting 'immune' to Liz Earle so I'll maybe try the new waitrose one?

Sorry for the delay, I fell asleep early last night and have been working all day today!

The shampoo has about three million ingredients! But looking for sodium I can see disodium laureth sulfosuccintate, sodium chloride and sodium benzoate. I didn't realise you should avoid this if you've had a brazilian blow dry?!

I used it again today and am still impressed. I try to wash my hair only every other day as it gets quite dry otherwise and it was still clean and fresh smelling this morning. Tempted to buy the full sized ones :)

thanks mrs sadly it's not having the same effect for me, tis ok but not wow.... the search goes on I couldn't resist trying it just the once despite the sodium chloride.

Ah that's a shame. I have a nightmare with hair products usually, I tried the 7 day straight stuff that everyone raved about and woke up with more frizz than usual!

I actually find that cheaper shampoo & conditioner works best for me usually - the Alberto Balsam ones in particular, about £1 each. Might be worth a go?

I tried this today and when I cane out of the shower DH said had I been using the dog shampoo? It does smell a bit like it...

Cane?

Tangled my hair something awful. Then again, you only have to look at my hair and it's in knots so I'm not a reliable source.

I bought the magazine today (miraculously in Sainsburys they had some which hadn't been plundered by the people who think "Free Gift" is just that. No , you need to buy the magazine.......)
Obv not cjbk1 "It just fell apart in my hands ....."

The wrapping was quite inflexible 70 and my thumb just 'popped' through it so I dropped it back onto shelf where no doubt someone else will half inch it later
