milk_shake Integrity review

My review first appeared on Blog Addict. Thanks so much!

From the first sniff I was hooked on milk_shake. We received a couple of samples at a Blog Addict event and then I was lucky enough to win two products. I am hooked on this divinely scented hair care brand and my curls are looking fabulous. If I do say so myself.

milk_shake Integrity Nourishing Shampoo

The shampoo is salt- and sulphate-free and contains organic Muru Muru butter. Muru Muru butter is rich in fatty acids that are very nourishing, soothing and moisturising for both hair and skin, and the Vitamin A repairs, nourishes and strengthens the hair. My hair feels cleansed, soft and smooth after every wash. And my hair is less frizzy. The shampoo is my favourite from the products I received and it gets two thumbs up. The shampoo retails for R250.

milk_shake Integrity Intensive Treatment

This treatment is suitable for all hair types and also contains nourishing Muru Muru Butter. Because my hair is extremely dry, I was worried that the treatment would be too ‘light’, but it is performing well as a daily conditioner. My hair is left soft and smooth with no build-up (which is awesome). I would really like to try the Argan Deep Treatment as I think that would work very well with these dry locks of mine. R246.

I also received a sample of milk_shake’s Argan Oil treatment. The mix of silicones and nourishing organic Argan oil leaves my hair feeling soft and gives incredible shine. This frizz-busting formula is perfect for my dry hair and just a few drops is all I need for silky smooth curls. I need more!  This oil retails for R308 for 50ml.

I am very impressed with this brand. The quality is superb, the packaging is simple and attractive and the results are fabulous.

INOAR BB Cream Range

The moment I saw ‘Beauty Balm’ for hair I knew I had to try it. If you follow my blog, you will know that I am really struggling with my hair and I am on a mission to go from dry and strawy to soft, shiny and healthy.

The INOAR BB Cream range sounded like a perfect range to try as it contains all sorts of natural goodness (like natural oils and omega’s) and I was super excited when I received a travel kit to try.

The range contains high percentages of natural emollients such as Sunflower, Sesame, Linseed, olive and Macadamia and it is rich in Omegas.

The travel kit includes sample sizes of all the products in the range which consists of a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, oil and treatment. These kits are available for purchase and it’s a great way to give the range a try before investing.

This range is suitable for all hair types and is said to have the following 9 benefits: softness, instant shine, brightness, anti-frizz, easy blow dry, intense hydration, corrects imperfections in hair shaft, restores and moisturises hair naturally and it is sulphate free (therefor keeping treatment and colour for longer).      

I need to add number 10: Your hair smells amazing!

The shampoo is sulphate free and fabulous. I am still getting used to a shampoo that doesn’t foam that much (used to love those sulphates and foam). I used this shampoo on both my and Cara’s hair and I loved the fact that our hair felt soft and smooth when I rinsed the shampoo – not hard and stripped (like a lot of shampoos do). After using this shampoo for only a couple of days, I was convinced that sulphate free is definitely the way to go. Our hair is soft, smooth and on the way to be a lot healthier than it is now.  I really love this shampoo.

The conditioner and leave-in conditioner are both very light yet they effectively soften and smooth my hair. My comb also glides through my hair… knots be gone.

The oil is a combination of oils and silicone and beautifully smooths your hair. I was surprised at how light it is, especially since a lot of the hair oils that I have tried feel very ‘silicone-heavy’. This one does not and I think it will be suitably for very fine hair as well.

My favourite is the hair mask. OMW it’s gorgeous! It leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth and my curls form beautifully after I’ve used it. This mask is a must.

At first glance the range looks very pricey, but the bottles (except the oil) are all 500ml, which actually makes it quite affordable for a salon range.

BB Cream Shampoo (500ml) – R420

BB Cream Conditioner (500ml) – R490

BB Cream Leave-In (500ml) – R420

BB Cream Oil (70ml) – R490

BB Cream Mask (500ml) – R490

You can purchase these beauties from INOAR Professional Stockist Hair Salons or you can order directly from the INOAR Head Office in Pretoria. Phone +27 12 686 7067 or email info@inoar.co.za.

You can also follow INOAR  on Twitter and Facebook.

I’m really loving this range and can’t wait to try more products from INOAR. The Argan Oil range also looks fabulous.
