Do you ever wonder why some hair care products cost $10 and
others $140? Being a hair stylist,
beauty expert, product junky and female I have tried many products over the
years. Some I have tossed out
immediately, some I still have ½ of and others I buy every time I go to the
salon. The big question is WHAT makes
the price differ so? Is it the
ingredients, the packaging, the marking team or budget? I decided to try out the well-known $140
Russian Amber shampoo from Philip B.
Let me start by describing my hair and normal regime. I am a natural brunette with a fair amount of
hair, medium to fine texture (more when I have my extensions in) and I am
not afraid to admit it. I took part in
the ombre trend, so I do have some split ends covered with bleach in my medium
length hair. I shampoo and condition
about every other day with Aloxxi hydrating shampoo and conditioner. For styling I use a leave in conditioner
spray followed by a blow dry lotion or lightweight gel to help smooth and give
my limp strands some body. From start to
finish it takes me about 20/30min. Not
so bad. Do I think I neeeed a $140
shampoo? No, do I want one… sure if my hair will be amazing!
This shampoo comes in a jar like a conditioning masque and
looks like Carmel. It breaks down in
your hands once water is added and lathered up. To start, this particular
shampoo has some major hair strengthening ingredients written right on the
label. 11 active L – amino acids, you
know what those are right? It's what your hair is made of. Other ingredients that
stand out is the Soy protein, wheat proteins, vitamin B5 and amber oil. Have you seen another shampoo with those
ingredients? I haven't. Between the pricy ingredients and the gorgeous eye catching packaging you have yourself one luxurious shampoo.
After 3 weeks of using Philip B Russian Amber shampoo every
other day my hair did feel amazing, it had life, bounce and shine! The smell is one to fall in love with it's powdery
and sweet yet a little earthy. So does
this shampoo stand out in a crowed? For me it does. It may not be my every day
or even once a week shampoo, but defiantly in the mix, possibly once every 2
weeks. My hair truly looks healthy,
feels strong and defiantly has some major shine.
*Lets consider this product as a worthy splurge, which will
not be going out of style any time soon!
