Product Review: Bumble and Bumble Straight Shampoo, Conditioner, Blow Dry Cream
I'm always on the hunt for shampoo, conditioner and blow dry styling balm that will leave my hair looking like a movie stars, you know - silky, smooth and straight. I unfortunately have typical indian hair which is coarse, thick, and wavy. Basically it's a crazy mess when it's not tame. When I was at Sephora two weeks ago their 500 point gift was the BB Straight Set with comes with the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Blow Dry Styling Balm. The Straight Shampoo (retails $31.00 for 8.5 oz) , Straight Conditioner ($34.00 for 8.5 oz) and Straight Blow Dry (retails $16.00).
The shampoo and conditioner smell amazing! I used a little amount of shampoo in my wet hair and it worked into a great lather. As an added bonus, the shampoo is sulfate free. I then rinsed the shampoo out and followed with the conditioner by leaving the conditioner in my hair for a few minutes before rinsing. Although I did like these products, I think I could have achieved the same great smell and feel with other cheaper products.
The blow dry styling balm is lightweight and heat-activated. I am extremely picky about the straight creams I use in my hair since they are expensive and rarely seem to work. I always have to bring out my straightening iron for that sleek look. However, by using this product I am able to cut out the straightening time as this product leaves my hair straight, silky and smooth. Also, you just need a little bit (pea size) to work into your hair. If you use to much your hair will instead look oily and greasy.
Overall, I am glad I tried this product. I would not invest in the shampoo and conditioner since I can use a lower cost option to achieve the same result. I would however invest in the Blow Dry Styling Balm as it left my hair straight, smooth, and silky!
