Schwarzkopf's New 'Straight & Glossy' Range; Genius Concotion Or Fibbery In A Bottle? ♥
in I Want... Beauty!22 Jun 2009 | 8 Comments
A shampoo and conditioner that provides straighter hair for up to 48 hours without the use of a straightening iron? Pft. A product that creates alluring shine, and cares for hair intensively with bamboo and orchid essence? Oh, please! An innovative cell repair system with hair identical protein targets to deeply repair hair cells? ''Why must you turn my bathroom into a house of LIES?!'' I shrieked.
As you may be able to deduct from the above description, I was wildly optimistic about Schwarzkopf's new Straight & Glossy range!*
Believing that it would be as popular in my favourite product line-up as say, a Britney Spears t-shirt at a Slayer Concert, I must admit that for all my snorting and other general derisive behaviour towards it, it definitely deserves a 4/5 on the Excellent-O-Ometer and has provided this distrusting muppet with the smoothest, most manageable hair experienced post dreadlock and severe GHD abuse.
It cleverly reduces frizz, has reduced my straightening ritual by approximately 60% and when you consider that it provides all this in exchange for a $10 note with ample change to spare, it could just be the niftiest little supermarket purchase of the month!

This review was really funny. I especially loved this: ''Why must you turn my bathroom into a house of LIES?!'' <-- I've felt that on many occasions while tooling around in my own product review lab (aka bathroom). BTW thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. I love yours!

Well, I will have to try this after years of tying my frizzy long hair back, I hope this will enable me to wear it out without going for the straightening iron first!!!

Nice review of the shampoo and conditioner. Good to see it does the job that a $30 shampoo can do =)

Kate - I'm (usually) exactly the same! Wallet-friendly Shampoos & Conditioners are always what I flock to, & it was that (combined with intense curiousity) which attracted me to 'Straight & Glossy' because it was on special at the time of purchase.. two for $8, hurrah!
Dollface - Aw, shucks! Thanks a bunch!
Caroline - HI! :D & no, it doesn't.. I'm definitely part of the Anti-Grease brigade, and this doesn't make your hair feel oily at all!

I'm so terrible with shampoo and conditioner, always use whatever is on special at the supermarket! At the moment it's Tresemme for me! ...but my hair, well there isn't too much of it and half the time it's tucked away under a head scarf. Gotta stop that!

Scribbles - I'm loving it! Ooh, and I'm pretty sure that you can get it in NZ because the image I used (linked to at the bottom) was from a NZ website who reviewed it!

Sounds good! I don't think we get that brand in NZ though :(
