Yes To Carrots Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I got this stuff a year ago, used it for about three weeks, gave it to my friend, the end. I'm going to try to be as impartial and 'mild' as possible but i must say, from the beginning, that this product came as a disappointment.

My conditioner was just a 'normal' one, for dry, damaged hair and not the volumizing one or the mud one. It was the first time they came out on the market so they weren't so diverse back then, range-wise.

The ingredients are the same as in the volumizing one (saved the list from an old attempt to review it):

Aqua (Water), Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomatoes) Extract*, Cetyl Alcohol, Capsicum Annuum (Red Pepper) Extract*, Aspalathus Genus (Red Tea) Extract, Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Extract*, Maris Aqua (Dead Sea Water), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil*, Magnesium Chloride, Chamomilla Recutita (Camomile) Extract*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil*, Benzyl Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil*, Calendula Officinalis Oil*, Maris Limus (Silt) Extract, Parfum (Fragrance), Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil*, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate Peel) Extract*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract*, Dehydroacetic Acid. (from the YesToCarrots website)

Okay so it went like this. I'm gonna write about each aspect, as usual.

Price: quite expensive, a little more than the Sephora hair products. I found mine on sale, together with the shampoo. I remember the price was around €12 euros or 16 USD, which isn't a great deal of cash.

Quantity: the tubes were huge, 500ml maybe? i can't remember but it was a significant quantity i got.

Packaging: the nicely, vividly colored packaging (white and orange with the frosted plastic bottle) with a removing screw top and a push cap underneath; i had to squeeze the giant tube to make the conditioner come out, which i didn't like at all. The shampoo was a little easier to work with, but still, a bit of a hassle to handle such massive bottles.

Scent: it was pleasantly scented, smelled of 'natural', sweet stuff. I can't say exactly what it was but it wasn't something irritating or too strong.

Effect: well....they were too drying for my hair.

-no shine

-BIG TIME tangles. I had to rip my hair off to get it back to its initial state.

-dry hair, the driest ever. After using the conditioner i had to check twice to make sure it was the conditioner i had applied and not the shampoo. Just incredibly crispy hair, i can't say anything different (i'm not trying to bash the products)

-no volume whatsoever, the hair was just normal, naturally thick but nothing changed, consistency-wise

What else is there to say...i guess that would be all. I tried using it several times, lured by the natural ingredients, but it didn't work on my hair. Probably it works for many people, depending on the hair type. It wasn't my case and it ended up as a gift for a friend of mine.

Well, good luck next time i'm picking out hair stuff...and i'm sensing a review is coming up-quite a nice surprise, actually.
