Review: Hairkop Essence Intensive Nourishing Shampoo

I've written about Hairkop Essence products and their amazing scents here on the blog before (see this review, this review and this review, for instance), so when I spotted some other Hairkop Essence products in a local store recently, I was very excited to try them out too, since my first experience with the brand was so good.

But sadly, the Hairkop Essence Intensive Nourishing Shampoo is somehow not as exciting as the other shampoo I tried. It doesn't have that amazing scent, even though the scent is by no means bad either, it's just a bit... bleh.
And the results for me at least were not as spectacular with this shampoo as with the previous one I tried. The shampoo is intended for damaged, colored and unmanageable hair, which is definitely at least partly my hair type.

But I have to say that it is by all means a nice shampoo, I think my expectations were just way too high after having tried their other shampoo first. But I would still recommend this shampoo, and I might also get it again if I can't find my favorite Hairkop Essence shampoo for some reason.

Review: Hairkop Essence Obliphica Treatment Conditioner

Last but not least, I also gave the Hairkop Essence Obliphica Treatment Conditioner a try, besides the shampoo and the hair mask from the same range. And much like the shampoo and the hair mask, this conditioner is really nice. It smells wonderful, does what it is supposed to, and comes in a nice orange bottle.

It may not be as spectacular as the shampoo (due to it's super cool texture) or the hair mask (due to the incredible results I got with it), but it's a very nice conditioner that does everything you want a conditioner to.

So I will definitely get all the products I recently tried from this range again, including the conditioner, even though the conditioner specifically might not have been my favorite product from the range. But you shouldn't use a hair mask every time you wash your hair, I guess, so then a conditioner from the same range definitely comes in handy!

Review: Hairkop Essence Obliphica Treatment Hair Mask

If you read my previous post, you already know that I quite like the Hairkop Essence Obliphica shampoo, but I actually also got a hair mask from the same range, and I like that even more! Because while the Hairkop Essence Obliphica shampoo smells nice, the hair mask smells absolutely amazing! I must say it's probably one of the best smelling hair products I have ever, ever tried, and that is a huge plus for me!

And what's more, the scent actually stays in your hair too, which is even better!

The hair mask is intended for dry, damaged and colored hair, so it suits my hair type perfectly, and I do think it made my hair both softer, more manageable and less dry, while making it smell divine at the same time too, of course. So what more could you ask for, really?

The texture is quite creamy and similar to most other hair masks that I've tried, so unlike the shampoo from the same range, the texture itself is nothing exciting. But since the mask really does wonders for my hair, who cares, right?

I will definitely be getting this hair mask again and I am really thankful to the guy in the store where I buy my hair products, because he is actually the one that suggested I try this range, he thought it would suit my hair well, and it really did! So sometimes it pays off to listen to the "experts" I guess...

Review: Hairkop Essence Obliphica Treatment Shampoo

I've tried a really nice shampoo again, one of the nicest ones I've tried for a while, in fact, so I thought I should share some thoughts on it with you. The brand that makes this shampoo is called Hairkop Essence, and this specific shampoo has a secret ingredient in it, called Obliphica or Sea Buckthorn, as well as a lot of other goodies, including sunscreen, but it is still not tested on animals (a must for me), and it doesn't contain any nasties, which is good.

The shampoo is intended with those with dry or damaged hair, and it is supposed to be especially suitable for those who have straightened their hair using different chemicals (I haven't, but my hair is still pretty dry and I get a lot of split ends and stuff, mostly due to sun damage, I guess). And I have to say it both cleans and hydrates my hair very nicely!

Besides that, this shampoo also has a really nice texture, that kind of reminds me of those hand sanitizers that contain alcohol that you can get, if you've ever tried those. It's more like a gel than a regular shampoo, which is cool, and it also has a really lovely scent. It's kind of hard to explain the scent, I think, but I will say that it's a rather exotic, beachy scent, and you can definitely pick up on the sunscreen scent, which doesn't bother me, since I think it's nice for summer anyway, but it might be annoying to some, so still wanted to mention it.

I do think this shampoo seems to make my hair more manageable and even a bit more shiny, as well as very clean, so this shampoo definitely gets a thumbs up from me, and I do indeed think that I will be buying it again.
