Review/Update: Vo5 Shampoo & Conditioner

I previously bought the new VO5 shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair, and last night I finally got round to using them! 

I found that the shampoo was really nourishing and made my hair seem really soft and even looked repaired from all of the heat and hair dye I have previously used. I also found that it already seemed like I had used conditioner on my hair just with this shampoo. It also seemed like quite a light shampoo and made my hair feel lighter, which is good especially since I have really thick hair. Shampoo 7/10
Shampoo & After Shampoo
I found the conditioner made my hair really shiny, however after I had dried it, it wasn't shiny at all and I don't think that this conditioner would make any difference to the overall look and feel of your hair. I felt that the shampoo would work better on its own, as this morning I've had to wash my hair again, because my hair felt so greasy and straw-like, even though I spent double the time washing my hair than I normally do trying to get the conditioner out of my hair.  Conditioner 4/10
Conditioner & After Conditioner
Overall, I prefer the shampoo, and would probably just use another conditioner, such as the Herbal Essence Conditioning Mask, because I don't think that this conditioner is very good and doesn't nourish or soften your hair. I think it just makes your hair feel heavier and makes your hair get greasier quicker.

VO5 Products

Hair products are my guilty pleasure!

Recently, I bought the new dry shampoo from the VO5 range and I loved it! Normally, I would always opt for Batiste dry shampoo and I've always found them to be really good, however the last bottle I bought of Batiste was just full of water! Nothing was coming out from the bottle and I kept trying it and nothing was coming out. So when I saw that there was a new dry shampoo, I decided to try it out and I am so glad I did. I plan on doing a review on the dry shampoo very soon, so watch out for that. Then, today I was in Sainsbury's and saw that the VO5 shampoo's and conditioner's were on offer, £1.95 from £3.90, so I decided to pick some up. There were 3 different types of the hair products, but I decided on getting the versions for damaged and heat styled hair, because I use a lot of heat on my hair nearly everyday, so I thought it would be the best for my type of hair. 



I have yet to actually try them out, because I only bought them earlier today, therefore I might write a post to update you about if they actually do nourish and repair your hair as these products claim to do. However, I have had a sneaky sniff of them and they smell insanely good so I am hoping that they work wonders on my hair.Also, I was planning on purchasing the separate VO5 bottle of argan oil for £4.99 anyway before I bought these products, however I read the back of the bottle in the shop and found out that both the shampoo and the conditioner already contain the oil in them, which is a big plus for these products and save you from spending more money on the argan oil. I've had a look around the other beauty chains online, such as Superdrug and Boots, to see if they have any offers on them and in Superdrug at the moment, they are selling the 250ml versions for only 99p, which is a bargain! Also, in Boots, they are selling the full 500ml bottles for only £1.79, which is half price! How can you say no to that?!
