My Thoughts
I really like this shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo lathers up very well and the conditioner is rich and creamy. They both rinse out easily and don't leave any residue or buildup on my scalp. And, they certainly live up to Acure's promise of being moisturizing! In fact, I find them just a little too heavy to use every single time I wash my hair. My hair looks fantastic for the first two or three consecutive washes, but on continued use, it starts getting weighed down. Instead, I've been mixing it up with my old standby, Organic Excellence. Rotating between the two leaves my hair soft and shiny and gives it the perfect amount of moisture without overdoing things.
My one initial concern about these products was how they were going to smell. I chose the Argan + Argan Stem Cell based on hair type, since it's recommended for curly hair. It's scented mainly with almond extract and almond scents don't tend to be favorites of mine. That said, the smell is fine. I wouldn't say I love it, but it's not offensive and it's also not incredibly strong. I can smell it while my hair is still wet, but once it dries, the smell is pretty much gone.
The Bottom Line
I would recommend both these products, especially if you have dry or damaged hair. Even if you don't, I think they'd work well as occasional, treatment-type products. Next time, I think I'll try their Lemongrass line, which is recommended for all hair types, as I'm curious if I could use that one more regularly with better results. Either way, I can definitely see myself keeping Acure's shampoo and conditioner in my shower for a long time to come!
ETA: Please check out my updated review on these after longer use too.
This is the only one that I haven't tried yet and I'm thinking I need to get on it soon since I have such dry thirsty hair. I've tried both the Lemongrass and the Mint one and the Lemongrass one is okay but the mint one was really a hit for me cause I love how the peppermint in it stimulates my scalp and relieves my itching.

It's definitely worth a try! I found it very moisturizing. I like tingly mint too...might have to consider trying that one too! :)
ReplyDeleteSeems a really nice shampoo
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of problems on finding natural or organic one since i have a very sensitive scalp but now im loving the TIROLER KRAUTERHOFF Chamomile Shampoo and i LOVE IT
Kisses dear :)
Now I'm curious.... :) It's extremely hard for me to find a suitable shampoo because my hair tends to be dry but extremely fine (and few!). Apart from that, my scalp develops dandruff extremely fast. I tend to think sometimes that whatever trouble I don't get on my face, probably comes out through and on my scalp -_-
ReplyDeleteOne wrong shampoo can give me dandruff almost immediately (like upon 7 hours). I thought of it as scalp sensitivity so I tried using really mild shampoo but still to no avail--they make me flake so badly, sometimes even worse. Out of the too-many-shampoo-products-to-list I've tried, only one worked on me and it's something I bought by accident while on a holiday in the Philippines. Who would have thought? Unfortunately, I have no way of purchasing it again.
....sorry for the long rambling. :P
And oh, thanks for the mention. I misread generous as 'gorgeous' at first and did a double-take hahaha!
@Bambi - I've never even heard of that one! Will have to check it out :)
ReplyDelete@Vivi - That sounds like a challenge! If you get a reaction so quickly, I wonder if it might be an allergy to something in the shampoos?
I'm lucky, my scalp has been fine with pretty much every shampoo I've used. It's my hair itself that's pickier - the wrong shampoo turns me into a frizzy, poufy mess!
I'm not sure.. I guess it's an internal issue. I might be overproducing a certain type of bacteria or fungus (sounds yucky lol). Coz if it's just an allergy to shampoo ingredient, using acv + water should work on me since it only has 2 ingredients in it. But it still doesn't work on me.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't know then! ACV by itself has never worked for me either.
ReplyDeleteI recently made a little Haul from iHerb. The schampo and some of Acures skincare was among the things I order. Usually it takes I while tio get the parcel for me thug, bur now I am even more exited to get it! :-)

Oh, horror! What a lot of spelling mishaps! I must have written the same thing at least ten times untill it worked. Hope you understand what I wrote!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you figured out how to comment! iherb orders can take a while to get to Canada too - I get impatient sometimes. It's always exciting when they finally come though! I hope you like the shampoo as much as me:) It's made me want to try out some of their skincare now too!

Hi Pauline,
DeleteAs far as I know Acure is not sold outside of the US, but you can purchase it from sites like iherb and Vitacost that ship internationally. If you're interested, my links are in the right sidebar - shopping through them will save you $5-10 off your order :) Hope that helps!
