I Tested 30 Viral Hair Products So You Don't Have To
Redken$36.00- “It just gives a great clean”▶ 0:44
- “I love how this smells. It's fresh. It's clean. It's citrusy, but it's not too intense”▶ 1:16
- “The texture of this is a very lightweight clear gel that is slippy and really easy to spread and lather”▶ 1:32
- “This gives me a really great clean. It's definitely something I would consider to be a true deep cleaning shampoo”▶ 1:55
- “I absolutely love this and this is officially added to my list of shampoo recommendations that are specifically designed to improve scalp health and hair retention”
DS Laboratories$40.00- “The first thing that I noticed about this is that it kind of smells bad”▶ 5:28
- “It's much more stiff and dense and thick and it just doesn't really lather the easiest”▶ 5:58
- “This is just not a shampoo that I love using”▶ 6:22
- “I feel like it just doesn't clean well enough. My lengths definitely feel heavy and weighed down after using it. And my roots start looking greasy the next day”▶ 6:26
- “This product in particular is definitely not how I would recommend using those ingredients in your hair care routine”▶ 6:44
UNOVE$22.00- “It actually gives me a really good clean and leaves my roots and hair feeling fresh”▶ 9:00
- “It's not deep cleaning by any means, but it's not supposed to be. But, it's definitely not too gentle”▶ 9:04
- “I don't feel like there's anything about this shampoo that I can't really get from other shampoos for less. So, it's not something that I feel the need to repurchase, especially because I just I don't enjoy the smell”▶ 9:13
- “I think it's a nice shampoo”▶ 9:27
UNOVE$22.00- “I actually liked how this felt in the shower”▶ 9:56
- “This conditioner gives a more lightweight result. So, I liked that my hair had more volume than normal, but the trade-off to that is that it was also a bit more dry and staticky than normal”▶ 9:57
- “I definitely liked the shampoo and conditioner in this system a lot more than I did the mask”▶ 10:19
- “Not bad, but not a new favorite”
Dove$9.97- “This has a strong, clean, floral fragrance that is really different for Dove. I feel like this smells more like salon hair care than anything that I've ever tried from them. And I really like it”▶ 10:53
- “The texture of this starts off as a clear gel that feels really thin and slippy and lightweight, but it starts to transform as you lather it into something creamier”▶ 11:25
- “I actually feel like I found the dry scalp version of Pantene Sheer Volume in this”▶ 12:24
- “This is something that I would definitely recommend for anyone that wants to exfoliate and has a drier scalp”
Dove$9.99- “This doesn't smell like the shampoo to me. It has like a I mean a little bit but also like a strange vinegar scent added”▶ 14:10
- “Aside from the smell, I had no issues with this in the shower. It had nice spreadability”▶ 14:39
- “In terms of results, it just doesn't give me that insanely silky smooth feel that intensive repair and bond strength do”▶ 14:19
- “My hair was still soft and nicely detangled, so it's not like I didn't like how my hair felt. It's just that with Dove, I feel like I'm so used to that next level amazingness”▶ 14:51
- “Something that I would say is not bad, but not for me”
Dove$9.94- “It is creamier than the OG, but not to the point of feeling heavy for me at all. It's just not something I would consider to be a clarifying shampoo anymore. It just gives more of a nice standard effective clean”▶ 15:56
- “It's still a shampoo that I enjoy and would recommend and definitely still something that is in my key recommendations for scalp health and hair retention”▶ 16:08
Dove$7.99- “The shampoo is actually a sparkly gel that is definitely less creamy than both Intensive Repair and Bond Strength. It has the perfect texture. It's not too thin. It's not too thick. It's not too slippery. It's not too dense”▶ 14:50
- “It still gives me a nice clean and overall, aside from the fragrance, I have no complaints about this. I think it's a good shampoo”▶ 18:22
Dove$7.99- “The conditioner is a little creamier than intensive repair and bond strength, but it feels a lot lighter in my hair. It definitely has less of that immediate softening and silkening and by itself is just not conditioning enough for my hair personally”▶ 18:03
- “This is just not something that I would reach for”
Dove$9.97- “The mask is also significantly lighter than Bond Strength and Intensive Repair, and it has little beads in it”▶ 18:53
- “I do feel like there's room for improvement there just to not make it something that you notice while you're using it”▶ 18:12
- “It's just not as amazing for me as intensive repair bond strength. I would never reach for this over those”▶ 18:05
Dove$9.99
Pureology$27.74- “The shampoo is really similar to other Pureology shampoos in the sense that it's quite thick and dense, but it lathers and spreads really easily despite that”▶ 22:05
- “I don't really feel like the nice luxurious textures really translate to the results that I get”▶ 22:21
- “I feel like my hair is noticeably better conditioned, sleeker, glossier, smoother with the more affordable systems than with this”▶ 22:39
- “I don't feel like the shampoo and mask in this line are worth the investment”▶ 22:46
- “I do feel like this one is a little bit more conditioning than that while still delivering similar results”▶ 24:05
- “It makes my hair feel great. Super soft, smooth, but lightweight. So, I can still get some volume with this, which I love”▶ 24:41
- “This also has style memory technology in it. So, it helps with style hold”▶ 24:49
- “I think that the leave-in spray is really the star when it comes to this line. It's great and something that I will definitely continue to recommend”▶ 25:19
L'Oreal Paris$9.99- “The shampoo basically feels and performs the exact same as the original to me”▶ 27:46
- “I really love the three of these together”
- “The conditioner is significantly more lightweight and less creamy than the original”▶ 28:24
- “I'm actually excited about this change because now I feel like this is something more people can use and enjoy without having to worry about it weighing their hair down”
- “I really love the three of these together”
L'Oreal Paris$9.97
- “This has a strong pineapple, like dole canned pineapple juice smell”▶ 31:02
- “I would describe the texture as a jelly cream hybrid compared to a Nub. It's definitely much more light and spreadable”▶ 31:15
- “I definitely like my results with this one better than enough, but it's not something that I'm obsessed with”▶ 31:26
- “My hair just doesn't feel as conditioned with this as it does my favorites. It's definitely more dry than normal”▶ 31:31
- “While I don't think it's bad, it's definitely not something that's a new favorite for me”▶ 31:30
Olaplex$30.00- “I was very surprised by how thick this is for a hair mask that is specifically formulated for fine to medium hair and specifically called a weightless mask”▶ 32:17
- “I would describe this as thick, creamy, and actually on the stiffer side. It just doesn't have that nice glide in my hair when I spread it”▶ 32:28
- “I would say that my hair was more tangled than normal, more dry and staticky, not as smooth and sleek, and a little crunchy”▶ 32:45
- “My hair really didn't feel very lightweight”▶ 32:57
- “Not only is this a fail for me, but I feel like it's also a fail on their part because like it's not delivering what it's supposed to”▶ 32:59
- “This is not a weightless mask, and I would personally never recommend this for fine, thin hair types”
Olaplex$34- “The level of inner repair that this new treatment provides is the same. It's just that it's now also conditioning”▶ 34:59
- “I actually really like how this makes my hair feel. I've already gone through a full one of these and then this one I'm like halfway through. It makes my hair feel really nice. It's not too thick and heavy for me personally, so it doesn't weigh my hair down”▶ 35:58
- “I really like that you only have to leave this in your hair for 3 minutes”▶ 36:10
- “I feel like this is a nice upgrade for those that do want to repair and condition their hair all at once”▶ 36:41
OUAI$50.00- “This actually immediately reminded me of the Unove Deep Damage Repair Mask. It has that same balmy almost kind of prolottomy quality to it, but it's actually lighter and has better glide in my hair”▶ 38:51
- “My hair just felt pretty dry doing that. It's not something I would ever use like that again or recommend using in that way”▶ 39:26
- “I don't feel like this is doing anything for my hair that I can't already get from other treatments that are also expensive”
- “I don't feel like this competes with K18 or Apprey at all. So, it's definitely a pass for me”
OGX$9.99- “I feel like these are a little bit too heavy for my hair and I would rather use a lighter spray like the Bond Protein Repair Spray”▶ 41:36
- “My sister... her hair is significantly more bleached than mine... and she loves this which makes total sense to me”
- “If you felt like the Bond Protein Repair Spray was just too light for your hair and you need heavier smoothing, you need something that's even more conditioning, I feel like you would actually love these”▶ 41:12
OGX$9.99- “I feel like these are a little bit too heavy for my hair and I would rather use a lighter spray like the Bond Protein Repair Spray”▶ 42:26
- “My sister... her hair is significantly more bleached than mine... and she loves this which makes total sense to me”▶ 42:40
- “If you felt like the Bond Protein Repair Spray was just too light for your hair and you need heavier smoothing, you need something that's even more conditioning, I feel like you would actually love these”
UNOVE$28.00- “The texture of this is thin and very fine, but very oily. So oily that after I use it, the bottle looks like it's covered in grease”▶ 44:12
- “I was not surprised at all when my hair looked so greasy after it dried. Like weighed down”▶ 44:34
- “I also don't want to change the way that I apply my leave-ins because again, I have a very specific reason for doing that. So, this is certainly not for me”▶ 44:56
- “This was enough that it ruined my wash day both times”▶ 45:18
UNOVE$22.00- “The texture of this is nice and lightweight. It has that silky silicone like slip. It softens. It smooths. It enhances detangling. It's really nice”▶ 46:29
- “I don't feel that this does anything that those Dove oils don't, and I prefer the smell of the Dove oils”
- “It feels really nice and it definitely delivers all the benefits that an oil needs to”▶ 46:36
UNOVE$20.99- “I don't agree that this is feather light. It's definitely not the heaviest hair oil I've tried by any means, but I was expecting this to be even lighter than the silk hair oil because of how it's described, but it's definitely not”▶ 48:08
- “It's not only thicker, but it's just less cosmetically elegant to me, it actually feels kind of sticky”▶ 48:21
- “At first, it kind of makes my hair feel a little stiff”▶ 48:34
- “I definitely feel that the frizz calming oil is much nicer. So, if you were torn between the two, I would go with frizz calming”▶ 48:42
amika$28.00- “I wanted to try this just for the review, but I was fully expecting to be like, eh, I was not expecting to be blown away by this”▶ 49:27
- “This just immediately smooths in such a lightweight way”▶ 49:52
- “Makes my hair feel super soft”▶ 50:04
- “It's like what I immediately thought of is when you are in between washes, but you already have quite a bit of product in your hair and you don't want to add any more weight”▶ 50:19
- “I highly recommend this if you are looking for a product like that”▶ 50:43
