| victoriasmum's Full Review: Physique Amplifying Conditioner |
Ok so the marketing worked. I was intrigued and excited to have full, bouncy, shiny hair. Week upon week I passed this by, too expensive my good angel said, oh just go for said my bad. I unfortunately sucummed and purchased the Physique Amplifying Conditioner.
I got home and could not wait for the next day to wash and condition my hair with this product, I read the back of the bottle over and over, Infuses weightless style enhancers to increase manageability, leaving hair full of volume for the style you want. Oh ya and the adds said if I used all the products together I would get 20 hours of volume..WOW...go to sleep so morning will come and I can wash my hair...I am so excited to wash my hair.
Morning came and I quickly showered and washed my hair, MMMM this stuff smells wonderful, not fruity, not floral, maybe a bit of both, but absolutely subtle and divine. Oh this is going to be good I *thought*. So out I come and blow dry my hair, with a round brush I may add to help add volume. Now I don't know what I was expecting, but I got ummm...NOTHING! My hair was no fuller, thicker, amplified, volumized, whatever word you use my hair was none of them.
This Physique Amplifying Conditioner, conditioned well, it got the tangles out and left my hair soft. My hair is colour treated and this product is safe to use on both colour treated and permed hair, however after a few weeks of use my hair is suddenly NOT soft and feels very unhealthy, can a product start out making your hair soft and then just stop? Well this one did. The conditioner comes in a 200ml bottle, 100ml less than the shampoo, so you will run out long before your shampoo does. The packaging is attractive, white with a thick silver stripe, black writing and green band enhancing the words Amplifying Conditioner.
Let me just say I was waiting for this little bottle to empty so I could throw it out, as a matter of fact, I did not even wait till it was empty...it was the least I could do for my poor now suddenly dry hair.
I think that those with thin hair may be best suited candidates for this product. My hair is not thin or thick for that matter, but this product made it no more full, or amplified than my regular conditioner. So my overall recommendation is this, if you are going to spend the money and want salon quality, go to the salon, as Physique Amplifying Conditioner just does not cut it in my book.
Thanks for reading
