Everything You Need To Know About Shampoo And Conditioner - Kayley Melissa

Everyone Kayleigh your friendly neighborhood, hair stylist here and today I am reviewing so many shampoos and conditioners all the new launches are here and we're going to talk about it. So there have been new launches from people such as Mindy McKnight of cute girls, hairstyles, with her line heritage, we've got a new Lodge from amber fill her up with her brand day and we have Bondi booths coming in with some shampoos and conditioners, not to mention Just a couple random things from Kristin s like her curl line and her clarifying shampoo and her two inch hot we're doing all the taste. So if you've been curious about any of these new launches that might be popping up on your socials, I'm gon na tell you what's good what to try out, while you're in quarantine and of course, in this effort, I'm going to have my sister Anna Lara with Me to give a little bit of a different opinion because of her different hair type, we're also gon na FaceTime, one of our curly-haired friends, to help give some feedback on Kristin s is curly light. So all that said, let's get into it all right. So this is hi guys we have so many things to talk about. You know: we've been shampooing and conditioning your hair just so much, although not today, I really need to wash my hair. This is dry shampoo salvation Day. I want access that now make it. Yes, so between the two of us, we have been trying these. For the past several weeks we've been taking notes, we've been having conversations about shampoo and conditioner way more than ever before, and I think that makes us qualify to talk about this. I agree our first round of criteria will be the end. Our experience we're going to talk about the smell, how the product moves through the hair, how clarifying it is and how moisturizing it is, and I think that will lead us nicely to our second category, which is to rate it on a scale of volumizing to moisturizing And finally, how did it interact with your individual hair? How did it impact shine the volume and softness let's get into it, alrighty? So first things. First, we've got Amber filler ups new line day. It has a shampoo conditioner and a deep conditioner we're just talking about these two today, okay, first of all, if we're talking about the packaging so good, it comes in the very pretty box without the little stickers lots of little information cards about the products that are All very aesthetic - and you could frame it's great - we're gon na try to be as impartial as we can, but like just full disclosure, we love amber. We just we absolutely love her so right off the bat, love, aesthetic, well, everything she's doing here, love the square but to get into the realty the realty first, the smell. I think it smells like sunshine and rainbows and I love it uh-huh or it kind of likes fries spree candy. If you remember those, it reminds me of Sunny D, oh yeah. It reminds me of that too. I loved it, but it's very very strong. I could see if you don't like it like that, would be a deterrent, I'm getting it, because it is so strong that you have to love it. This isn't a criteria, but these things are kind of hard to smoosh. These are very hard to smush. Do they came with different heads? I might recommend using the other heads there's like a little squeeze there, but these pumps are really hard to use. How did it move through the hair? That'S mostly for the shampoo conditioner, also counts. It was lathering enough to move through the hair really well, but it wasn't like bubbles on bubbles on bubbles yeah this one, the conditioner, was more kind of a jelly. Consistency like a gel cream, also easy to move around but felt a lot of thinner between the fingers. I dropped a lot of this on the floor. I have to use a good bit of conditioner because I have a lot of hair, so once you pumped out a big chunk of it, you go to smush. If you miss any once I did it in two rounds. It was clarifying that basically means how much doesn't clean the hair, and I would say, if you're looking at the scale, super clarifying, not very clarifying more super gentle one to ten. It'S probably like a seven I felt like it did a good job, getting all the products that I use on my hair off of it. We'Re definitely cleaned, but it wasn't overly clean to my hair, didn't like poof out and get really dry. It didn't feel overly stripped or thirsty or angry. I felt squeaky clean actually like when you're you know when you're rinsing it out you're like okay, yeah like this definitely did something. Now this one moisturizing levels. This is a decent everyday moisturizer now hold on. Let me get on my soapbox, so here's the deal, I think, for a super long time the beauty industry has relied on selling people that your shampoo can do. Everything - and I don't know if that's left over from before we had more products than just shampoos and conditioners, because when television and radio ads started, we just had hairspray. So your shampoo was supposed to do a lot right, but realistically and definitely now in our current experience. It'S of it. Your shampoo is about the same as your facial cleanser, you're, literally cleansing the skin on your scalp and then you're just trying to remove any excess product on your hair. That'S all it's doing. It can be like a facial, moisturizer extra cleansing. It can be oil, removing it can be medicated in some weight, whatever you need for your scalp and then the cleanliness of your individual hair strands, your conditioner very similar to your everyday moisturizer. It keeps your skin happy it does. The minimum gets everything nice where it needs to be, but it's not your extra mask. It'S not your treatment that maintenance exactly so if you want extra super moisturizing once a week, that's your treatment! If you want something to help repair and rebuild bonds, that's your leave-in treatment. That kind of thing, because those things are not rinsing down the drain, they're doing more on your hair right. So the whole thing to say basically that in a shampoo and conditioner, I'm just looking for maintenance. I think sometimes people look for the kitchen sink too, and I just want to go ahead and put that out there that we're not trying to find we're. Looking for the homeostasis - and that brings me back to the conditioner because I feel like for my hair - this does just enough while leaving it a little bit dry, it's kind of like when you have like your summer daily moisturizer, and then you switch to winter. And it's not quite enough and it's enough to sustain my hair as long as I'm doing a deep conditioning mask once a week which amber does sell and does recommend with the set. So I think it's still doing what it's supposed to do. Yeah. But if your hair is drier, you might want to mix in another conditioner with this in your routine on a scale of moisturizing to volumizing. I would put it pretty much right smack in the middle for my hair. So if you need a lot of moisture, you could almost get away with this with a supplement. If you need a lot of volume, I actually think this would still be pretty good, because I don't think this is gon na weigh your hair down at all. I would just mix in a clarifying treatment if you're really feeling the way down. How did it interact with your hair as far as shine volume and softness now shine is kind of. When I talk about that, I mean, like the cosmetic look of your hair softness. I mean yeah exactly softness, I mean how it feels when you touch it. If it feels moisturize, if it feels happy that kind of stuff shine, I felt like I got like a moderate nice healthy shine, but it wasn't over the top or lacquer II or anything. I typically don't get super shine from any shampoo or conditioner yeah. I don't need that. I usually get that from the products I put an actor yes room. I feel like this one was very middle of the road for me in that, as far as volumizing goes, I would say that 7 out of 10 - from the clarification, I would say, it's not the most volumizing thing I've ever used, but it is the most of All you might same thing I would like to use on a daily basis. I completely agree with that. I would not like to use anything more volumizing than this on my hair. This was like the perfect volumizing for me yeah, I would say it really performed. Well, yes, because, basically for a shampoo to be volumizing, that means that has to be clarifying which, if we're talking about it and face wash terms, it means that it's more like the harsher base, washing us, because it has to clean that much more. You have to feel like super free at the root for it to have that volume exactly so. That means that, for any areas that are dry and don't need that extra cleaning action, it would actually dry it more, which is why we are saying, because we have blond hair, we wouldn't want any more than yes and then, as far as softness goes, I thought It was probably or five from yield softness. I definitely felt that I needed my leave-in conditioners with it. So for me, it's like a healthy part of this nutritious hair breakfast, but yeah. It wasn't extremely softening, which is also why it wasn't extremely like weighing down right. Yeah, I would say I definitely used more leave-in conditioner with this set than I did for most just because I did feel that need to be a little bit more moisturize at the ends, and I could go my standard 3 ish days between washing with this. I went for days which mean it was just fine, awesome possum. So, overall we like she's pricey. If you want to splurge or whatever really really love you want to talk about Bondi boost. I have big feelings about this. I guess we shouldn't call out that we did get sent all of these shampoos and conditioners, but we are also not being compensated in any way for our thoughts and our opinions are 100 % our own, so they sent us the hair growth 1, and I can Definitely use some hair growth, so I'm not mad at that. Oh there's a lot of stuff. So if we're gon na start with the scent, it's peppermint its opening a thing of essential oil and smelling, it is walking into Santa's workshop yo yeah. Are you want to talk about how this moved through the hair? There are a lot of bubbles, but it didn't move easily. You know what it was. This is kind of getting into the next category. This thing is clarifying a and I couldn't reach my fingers into the middle of my hair to shampoo it. So I had to like do this number and then I had to get another one and go plop. The middle of my head, I'm gon na, had to do it again in the back of my head and already I was starting to get concerned at that point. Yeah here's the thing this is one shampoo and conditioner from their line. I think the restore one was the neighbor repair, so I was another restore. I think that one's probably the one we're supposed to be using, but we're we're arguing this one and Lord of Mercy. She was oh clarifying. I felt immediately like I wanted to just tweeze the conditioner all over my hair, yes, and then that didn't move through the hair very easily. It did and it didn't really fix any about her nope. It was not super moisturize, it was not so that was the shower and then, if we're gon na do the scale from volumizing to moisturizing 1 to 10 11. You know if it's supposed to be helping with hair growth. Maybe it's about trying to clean out the follicles and make sure everything you know what sure we have bleached hair. I have done for masks since then to try to get my hair back to moisturize and it is still out of line at the beginning of the waves video you guys saw it. I started out with poofy had all the other ones. I'Ve used multiple times. I used this one time and I was like I cannot. I can't and you've still been trying to come back from it. This is just what can happen when you use the wrong shampoo on your hair yeah, not because this is a bad shampoo, but because it is the wrong one for analog haircuts. For me, what I noticed was that I almost Kouga I think I went like five or six days without washing my hair, and it was fine. So I kind of liked that, but my my hair was definitely poofy or when I got out of the shower, and then I used this again and it was even drier in poofier, and I was like I just don't feel like. This is right for my hair, where it is right now moving on to how it made our hair look shine na vol saw a softness overall. I see that's honestly for people that have that super shiny hair that just like falls back to straight, and you can't do anything with it. This might actually be a good idea or if you have a very very oily, do sing scalp yeah. This could be a really good one for you, so it was not the right one for us right, but I will say I used the heat protectant from this line and I liked it a lot yeah. I really love their waiver, so they're doing cool stuff. This time just was not it. This is not it for our hair type, but and now to the star of the show of the most requested heritage by Mindy McKnight. Have you ever had anything so requested? No so this brand by midnight also a youtuber hair channel, an OG. We met back in the day 2011 2012. She was in North Carolina for like a news segment that she was doing and we had lunch at PF, Changs yeah, there's a picture somewhere. I'Ve super loved and admired their journey over the years. I'M really excited for this. One thing I'm super excited about is that they have a blended family and she wanted to make sure that they had products for each different hair type that their family represents. Like we have a blended family as well, so so yeah. I just thought that was super duper cool and I like that, the same wine offers things like super lightweight leavin products for our hair type, but also like edge control, creams and things like that for kinky coily hair. Yes, we need more of it alright, so that being said, let's evaluation, this all is at Walmart and is very inexpensive. One thing that I do want to shout out is that they are SLS and SLDS free, valet, paraben gluten mineral oil, free color, safe and cruelty. Free and vegan I like that they are also making an effort to keep things clean at a budget price. So first thing is smells like boys, and girls could definitely use this definitely unisex. It reminds me like an air freshener, not in a bad way. It'S not my favorite. I wouldn't request a fragrance out of this, like I did for Christmas, but true, but I did think it smelled nice. I think when it's on the hair and you smell it, it actually feels nice and light and then, if you add any other products on it, it the smells commingle very nicely. Yes, I will agree that I liked the way my hair smelled after the shower with it didn't move through through a hair really well, but it wasn't quite a lather yeah yeah. I remember so bubbles not like a foamy lather, yes and then the conditioner. This one is like a lotion lotion. It really does feel like a lotion, not a shea butter body butter, but a lotion see it smells good on your skin. That'S the thing I don't like it when I'm just smelling it out of the bottle, but I like how it interacts so conditioner move through the hair. Well because it wasn't like a big shea butter, clumpy like hard to move thing um, but it was lotion II and not jelly once you know, I rinse it all right. Well, we skip straight to moisturizing. Let'S talk about clarifying for me, this was like middle-of-the-road clarifying. I didn't think it was anything over-the-top. I would give it like a five on clarifying. So a go. Got things clean, I would say it felt moisturizing. This is a gentle daily, shampoo yeah. So yes, I would agree. That'S what it is. It felt moisturize it got. My hair, mostly clean - I did have a harder time going between showers. I was pushed much closer to the two days between rather than the three or four yes and then the conditioner I actually felt was a little heavier than I needed for my hair. But what did you think for your hair cuz? Yours is a little more thirsty um. It was definitely good a lot of times I will put conditioner throughout mostly on the bottom, but also throughout, and this one, the second time I used it. I did not put it all the way like even close to my roots, and that helps a lot, so I mean I really liked it. It was definitely on the more moisturizing side. For me yeah. It was the most moisturizing of the three. By far how about shine volume and softness, so this was an interesting thing for me: okay cuz, I do feel like it was the most moisturizing, but I don't feel like it was quite as shiny for me it was not a shine enhancing, but I think that When you look at the ingredients and stuff they focus most on moisturizing, which doesn't always immediately equal shine. I do think over time your hair would become more shiny from being more healthy. My hair was the softness with this. Yes, for sure yeah, the least voluminous, the least time between washes. I do also think you know the McKnight family all have thick hair like they had hair yeah. If your hair is a little thicker, maybe a little bit more porous than and and mine are naturally, then I would say that would be a good everyday situation yeah and it's not a bad everyday situation for our hair nah. It'S just not perfect. It was definitely good and I would continue to use that yeah but same, but I do think you know, maybe when I'm in rehab time on my hair summer, freshly after color all that kind of stuff, when I'm kind of babying a little bit more yeah. I think I would reach for that yeah. I also love that this is by far the least expensive option on the list I farm and it performs up there, if not better than some of these yeah. So, for our last shampoo and conditioner, we have the Kristin s curly line and of course we don't have curly hair. Now, here's the fun part we've caught in to social distancing time and one of our friends has been trying this out, so we're just gon na phone chat with her real, quick and see how she feels about it. Oh look, it's you so cute alright. So I have some questions that we've been evaluating things on. So first of all, we've been talking about what it's like in the shower so like. What'S the smell like, does it lather really well? Is it easy to move through the hair? Okay, that's so exciting, so yeah you kinda already said you feel like there's some shine. Okay with volume, oh yeah, girls are poppin. So good. Do you feel like your hair is kind of like soft and moisturized as well? Okay, cool awesome when Ana Laura - and I were reviewing one of these we felt like it was our favorite like face line like I did it cleaned as much as we needed it to clean and moisturizes as much as we needed. Do you feel like you're getting that from this one? Is there anything you wish you'd did a little bit more! Oh good! That'S all my questions, I'm so glad you like it, though. Oh of course all right. Well, thanks for your thoughts, they say wash your hands. Oh wow she's super liked it yeah. That was crazy. She is opinionated yeah. That was a glowing review. I know her well enough that I've seen her hair when it's her normal thing. I think we even have probably footage of it. Her hair was shinier and had more. You could see the defined Ridge of your girl. Absolutely it was beautiful Wow. I I did have good hopes for that line, because I know that Kristin us cares a lot about inclusion and curly hair yeah. It'S part of hair and her curly hair products that I've tried in the past have done a really good job. I, like my curly hair wig and my wavy hair, that I was trying to coax a curl into so that's awesome. I'M glad that there's a super good review for that, so that was all the shampoos and conditioners we had to talk about. If I had to pick a favorite that I am most likely gon na stick back in my shower and keep using, I would say day. Is it that's my favorite that I want to continue to use, but I think I might keep the heritage conditioner in there to mix in every now and then just because it's a little light on the moisturizing for me. Yes, I agree with that completely. I, like the day, the best are all the ones we tried today, but I like the conditioner from here to the best. So now I just want to do a quick little like rapid-fire round of some other fun new stuff. That came out that I just wanted to throw into this video so two that they sent over that. I really liked were the dry, shampoo and the leave-in conditioner. Did you try? I didn't poop? Okay, you have big thoughts on dry shampoo, so I'm surprised when you say that you like I like this one a lot so my all-time favorite is the igk charcoal dry shampoo, because that one is the ultimate like. I need a shower, but I cannot take one right now that will save your hair. This one, I would say if that one's a 10, this one's like a 7 okay, but it's significantly less texture on your hair, okay. So right now my hair is full of dry shampoo and like running my hands through. It is not an option, whereas with this one it actually is but day, 2. 3 even 4. Sometimes this one comes through and I really really like it so yeah. This is probably my new favorite drugstore tration wow. That'S high praise. I can you try that out. Yeah alright! Well, her leave-in conditioner. I love, i would say it is super lightweight. Yes, it is the lightest of weight, but it sprays like so much at one time. Like this, it's a generous spray, it's a generous spray and it's like really diffused like it covers all the wide area. So I really like this because I felt like it evenly got through my entire yes easily, with not too many sprays. So I like it because it's lightweight - and I think it's lightweight enough for hair that could be easily weighed down. But I do think if you need significant detangling or significant moisturizing. Maybe the fragrance free line from Kristin s would be a better option. But for those of you guys that just want something lightweight, also from the drugstore, this very good Kristin s clarifying shampoo - you haven't used this. I have. I really really love it, so I'm very picky about my clarifying shampoos I used to not be. I just used the Neutrogena anti residue, one, I'm just obsessed with this bottle one. It'S so pretty seriously. They'Ll smell it, it's a new scent! It'S like a oh, oh my gosh. That'S so much more up your alley! It'S like musty, I don't smell any, must I think my nose is broken small though yeah I like the fragrance, it's light, it's easy to deal with. It clarifies very well without the Bondi effect of creating a lion's mane, so I've been using one. That was much more expensive, and so I'm really excited that this one works very well. For me it gets things clarified, but it's at a better price point. You only need to use it once or twice a month and it just keeps the hair a school Wiki clean if you're having a hard time stretching your washes out. I would try a clarifying shampoo once every two weeks and see what a difference that makes for you, because it might be product build-up or just anything else. Building up on your hair and getting it extra clean might be the step that you need to be able to go to Days, question mm-hmm. Could you do like some regular shampoo, and some of that I mean I would do this on its own, but if you ever want to boost something to be more clarifying, yes, you could mix it in mousse and then you're kind of cutting it a little bit. So it's not as clear if I remember how last video I was like I've, never done anything new. You should see the up of the shower. Now I created a monster. You introduced me to tik-tok, and I turned you into a shower scientist last thing I wanted to talk about. Was the Kristin s 2 inch curling iron? That'S what we use on our hair today. This is the biggest iron I've ever seen. I kind of like it on my hair I feel like. I would mostly use it from here up in the future. I mean it's kind of Karin but make it fashioned for you. How do you feel I mean it was only ever gon na give you like a slight curve. You worked hard for that curve and I do like the what ended up with, but it would say water work, but I don't know how to do blow, but I'm pretty sure it would have been just as hard like flash up a picture of it right after I took them and now I think it's an acquired taste, but some people on Instagram are loving that iron and I think it's people that they want that, like mostly straight but a little bit and maybe their hair is naturally wavy or a little curly. I could see this kind of replaces a straightener and creates a faux blowout. Look. That makes a lot of sense. I do think that the it being so big is makes it really fun to play without the roots yeah. I can change your roots out. It'S true, and I feel, like my hair - has more volume with it. I do think if your hair is naturally straight, you're gon na feel frustrated, like Anna Laura did it's gon na fill, get you're not doing anything and you're putting a lot of work. So maybe, if you're in the anna laura camp and your hair is naturally straighter, i would say one of the quarter: annc iron with just big sections. Yes, because flash up the picture of me as Serena van der Woodsen, that was like my favorite hair ever and that was Lawrence there you go so I'm gon na mostly recommend this for people that just want kind of a bump under and don't want to have To try to use the straightener to get it all right. Is that everything, though that is it Wow cool, so many things reviewed, I know my little brain is spinning. I hope that was helpful for you guys. I really wanted to give you all the answers you were asking for on these products, because I was getting so many questions and, of course feel free to request anything in the comments down below that you'd like to see whether it's reviews or challenges or tutorials. Whatever you want, let me know: brainstorming more content also. This might be the last video that we're filming together in the same space for a little while, I'm not sure, but it's looking like our city's about to get shut down yeah. So this might be the last thing that we're in the same room together, but we will be continuing to make content. It'S all gon na be good. Ok, please practice social distancing, please wash your hands, please use all appropriate precautions, the faster we all get on board and do this well, the faster it's over retweet. That'S all we're gon na say on that, because the Internet does not make anymore conversations on that yeah. It'S it's honestly so much and I've kind of been trying to get to the Internet to escape from all of it, and then it's right all up in my face and it makes it worse and I've definitely got to the point where, like my anxiety and depression, Are triggered so it's a lot of like practicing self-care, and I also encourage that do what you needed to take care of yourself and don't feel like we're being insensitive because we're not addressing it we're just really like oh yeah, I'm going to be an escape. Obviously, it's very very serious, like SuperDuper serious, and we take it very seriously. We just wanted to add some levity to your day yeah and hopefully we did ok, that's enough of that right.
