Boots Oily Hair Expert Shampoo

Product

I have oily hair so when I saw this I though it would be brilliant and had really great expectations of what it would be. However, this was not what I felt once I had used it, I will explain why in a moment. 

Boots describe this as being 'formulated to break down excess oil and remove build up of excess sebum'. I found that from using this product it increased oil and created more sebum. It made my hair very hard to work with and was impossible to get any volume into my hair. I usually try to create volume as I have hair that can become flat.

I used this instead of my normal shampoo and used nothing else when I first used it so I would see the full effects of the shampoo. When I did this I found that my hair was flat and dull. I tried it again and this time used conditioner on the ends of my hair, which I usually do, and the result was as terrible as the first time. I will not be using it again. 

Packaging

This shampoo comes in a pale yellow plastic bottle and there is 200ml provided. The lid does not come off and instead has a lid that you press to create an opening for the product to come out. 

Price
I paid €5.00 for this shampoo and it is available from Boots. I purchased it in Boots in Galway City centre although I know it is not available in all Boots pharmacies as I have not seen it in some others.

Would I buy this again? No. 

Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask

After trying the Boots Honey & Jojoba Intensive Hair Mask,  I wanted to try another hair mask, so I decided on the Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask. 






The thing that I like most about this product is the great smell that it leaves on you hair after you use it. I get more of a coconut smell that I do of almond, which is fine with me as I love the smell of coconut products. 
This hair mask is for normal to dry hair. I use this on the ends of my hair as that is the driest area of my hair. This is a great to product, that left my hair feeling very smooth and healthy looking. 





I used about a teaspoon sized amount of this product on my hair, I have long hair, therefore shorter hair will require less, also depending on how dry the hair is.  


The coconut and almond intensive hair mask costs €2.99 for 350ml. I purchased this in store, however it is also available at Boots online. 

Boots Honey & Jojoba Intensive Hair Mask

I had been looking for a hair mask for a long time and had tried many before I found this one. If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting much from this product as I had previously tried some Boots hair products and I had not liked them. 

This is a very creamy smooth hair product. It also as a very light creamy colour, as can be seen in the photograph. 


There is a great smell from this product, that  actually lasts on the hair. It has a very mild smell of the honey and Jojoba. 


This hair mask is for dry damaged hair. My hair has very dry ends which is also often damaged from use of heated hair products, such as a hair drier, hair straightener and hair curler. I used this product every two days for a week, when I initially purchased it and I saw improvement in my hair after a week. I applied it to the ends of my hair and left it in for approximately 3 minutes. It says 5 minutes on the container, however I find that 3 minutes is enough because I have very oily roots these products can sometimes affect that. Therefore, 3 minutes is sufficient.  I now use this approximately once a week depending on the condition of my hair. 

I use about a teaspoon of this product and I have long hair so therefore less would be required for shorter hair. Even with long hair this product last for ages. 
I paid €2.99 for this product which contains 350ml.  


Would I buy this product again? Yes
