Love Beauty & Planet Smooth and Serene Shampoo & Conditioner


I received this shampoo and conditioner set to test from Chickadvisor a while back.  The scent is argan oil & lavender.  The lavender scent is a very realistic scent.  

This company is very committed to producing natural based products and having a near zero carbon footprint.  From the back of the packaging it says, "Our goal is a carbon footprint so small, it's like we weren't even here."  The bottles are actually made with 100% recycled plastic.  


This brand also uses no silicones, parabens or dyes in their shampoo or conditioner.

Shampoo

In the past, I haven't always had the best experience with more natural based hair products so I wasn't sure what to expect from the Love Beauty and Planet shampoo. I was pleasantly surprised however! First off, the packaging is beautiful and makes my shower look like a spa. Next, even though I am not a fan of the scent of lavender, I found the scent to be subtle and not too overpowering. 

The shampoo lathers really well and rinses easily from the hair. I really felt that my hair got a thorough clean with this product. The consistency of the shampoo is perfect: not too runny and not too thick. After my hair had dried and throughout the day, I could smell the subtle scent of lavender in my hair. So it has lasting scent power.

My hair tends to be frizzy and this shampoo calmed the frizzies and left my hair soft and manageable. Sometimes products that control frizz can weigh the hair down but not this product. My hair felt light and airy.

Overall, I am impressed with this shampoo and would definitely recommend it to others. Since I'm not a huge fan of lavender, I would love to try other hair products from this brand in another scent.


Conditioner

This conditioner has the same lavender scent as the shampoo. The scent is subtle and not too overpowering as I found with the shampoo. The consistency of this product is great. It is not too thick that it won't spread and not too runny that it won't stick to the hair. 

After shampooing my hair, I applied the conditioner and left it on my hair for 3-4 minutes. It rinsed cleanly from my hair and left no residue behind. 

I did find that while using my pick comb on my wet hair that my hair had a few more tangles than usual. Maybe this conditioner is not as moisturizing as my usual products? However, after my hair dried, it felt soft and smooth. My frizzy hair was controlled and easy to manage. I also had the subtle scent of lavender in my hair throughout the day.

Overall, this is a product I would be pleased to use in my hair care routine and would recommend it to others to try.
