A Phytoprogenium Shampoo, a Phytobaume Conditioner and a Phyto 7 Hydrating Cream

I tested Phyto's products by using couple of travel size packages. The kit included shampoo (biggest bottle), conditioner (small tube) and a hydrating cream (tiny tube, not in the picture).

I usually like travel sizes and test packages. But these were all wrong sizes! Shampoo lasted forever - I don't use much shampoo. Conditioner tube was so small. It wasn't enough for my long locks. All wrong.. I need lots of conditioner and just a little bit of shampoo.

These Phytos promise "to balance and stimulate the scalp in order to help healthy hair grow". Nice. I would like a healthy scalp with fast-growing hair. IRL my scalp is very sensitive and my hair grows soooooo slow. Then more promises: "plant extracts of mallow, olive leaf, almond milk, help hydrate, detangle and protect without weighing hair down". Sounds good. Part of cosmetic experience is getting the placebo effect from reading the clever marketing text :)

Well, here comes my verdict:
  • Shampoo was mild. Nothing really special
  • I liked the scent
  • Conditioner didn't condition enough, my mane would have wanted something more nourishing and detangling. But perhaps this was due to the small amount of the conditioner. And also it's not supposed to "weigh your hair down" which usually means that it's more likely to be a light conditioner instead of a heavier one. This is meant for normal and fine hair. Fine hair is difficult, because too much nourishment will make it limp and tired.
  • Cream. The tube was so tiny. It was like Bratz doll's hair gel tube. "Hydrating cream" sounds so great, I felt like I was moisturizing my hair when applying it. The cream is a daily leave-in treatment for fine and medium-textured hair. I liked the results; not too heavy or dirty looking hair, nor tangled and too bouncy either. Just perfect!
I liked the Hydrating Cream a lot so I might purchase it again. There's none of these evil ingredients in it: sulfates, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, phthalates. As a perfume lover I think I have overdosed my body with phthalates so it's nice to have something that's so pure.
