Oscar Blandi Jasmine Collection Shampoo and Conditioner

If you have been wondering about the dirth of hair care posts lately, I actually do have a legit reason for it. I started using the massive sizes of Fekkai's Protein RX Shampoo and Conditioner and have been using them for over four solid months now. So that hasn't really left me open to trying new items. However, if you are considering purhcasing the large sizes of Fekkai products, you will be very happy with how long you are able to use the same bottles.

After several months, I finished them up and was able to turn to something new. I tried out the Oscar Blandi Jasmine Collection shampoo and the matching conditioner and I really love them so far. This collection is used to soothe and smooth out frizzy or unruly hair...exactly my type! Both products are scented with jasmine, making them a great choice for a fan of floral fragrances. However, with the strength of the fragrance, these might not be a good choice for someone who doesn't love florals. The fragrance lasts all day and doesn't leave after showering is over, so it is vital that the user loves this fragrance in order to continue use of the products.

Here is the description of the shampoo from the Sephora website, "Shampoo di Jasmine is essential for cleansing and smoothing all hair types that tend to be frizzy or unruly. Infused with natural extracts of jasmine and vitamin E, this smoothing shampoo creates a luxurious moisturizing lather that prepares and tames hair for maximum pre-styled frizz control".

And the description on the conditioner, "Balsamo di Jasmine is essential for conditioning and smoothing all hair types that tend to be frizzy or unruly. Infused with natural extracts of Jasmine and vitamin E, this smoothing conditioner controls hair and instantly seals the cuticle for maximum pre-styled frizz control".

When used together, these two products really deliver on the hair smoothing promise. The jasmine oil hydrates hair, helping to ward off frizz. The Vitamin E helps to seal down the cuticle so that excess moisture doesn't seep in and create frizz. Neither product weighed my hair down, which is quite unusual for anti-frizz products that are actually able to deliver on their claims. This combination of products came highly recommended to me by the manager of my local Sephora and after using it several times, it is not hard to see why. This combination is great for anyone with unruly, very dry, or frizzy hair.
