UpCircle Haircare Duo – Shampoo and Conditioner Crème – Rosemary Oil , Coconut Oil + Vitamin E – Prevents Frizz, Protects Scalp + Boosts Circulation – Vegan , Cruelty-Free + Sustainable

Absolutely brilliant

I have always bought super posh and expensive shampoos from my hair dresser. This shampoo and conditioner are without a doubt the best I’ve ever used. They are nice to wand easy to rinse out. They smell lovely. They leave my hair feeling really fresh snd clean, you only need to use a tiny amount. I don’t need to wash my hair every day either. I looks like I’ve just washed it for a few days. Absolutely brilliant!

Not good for long fine hair

These are tiny containers so if you have a lot of hair don’t waste your time and money, a little doesn’t go a long way. Smells refreshing though.

Un ottimo acquisto

Meraviglioso

Würde ich wieder kaufen

Duftet schön nach Minze, kühlt die Kopfhaut.Haare fluffig, nicht fettig.Man braucht nur sehr wenig.

Very Meh

For the price, I was expecting my dream shampoo and conditioner. That certainly is not what I got. It left my hair kind of filmy and my scalp was still irritated. And the jars are so tiny! I will not repurchase.

A Lot to Love, but So Far, Not For Me

There is a lot I like about this shampoo and conditioner set, I am just not sure it’s for me.  (For reference, I have a fair amount of hair that is pretty fine with a bit of body.  It’s extremely long, and overdue for a cut.  The top is pretty healthy, I do have some breakage from wearing it tied back all the time and as I said I really need to take some significant length off because the ends are like straw from repeated bleaching years ago.  My hair dries straight once it’s brushed but if I do not brush it out of the shower it has some slight waves in places.)  I was excited to try this set for a few reasons.  I really love that it’s Leaping Bunny certified, B Corp certified, vegan, and plastic negative.  I also love that the company is using wasted resources  (discarded pink berry and orange peels from other beauty) and putting them to use.  I also like the idea of a concentrated product.  (Why take up extra room in packaging and shipping for water?)  The packaging is very nice in terms of the pretty blue glass jar and matte black metal lids.  (I love that they are plastic negative and I will reuse the jars when I am done with the product but I am not sure how heavy glass fits-in sustainability wise… I know there are pro/cons to everything and with the focus on more sustainable and ethical choices I am assuming this has been factored in.)   The smell of both the shampoo and the conditioner are herbal.  They are fresh and pleasant but not my personal preference as I generally prefer bright or slightly fruity smelling things.  (I was hoping the grapefruit would come through on the shampoo but that is not the case.)  I think I actually like the scent better when my hair is dry.  I didn’t use any other products like a detangler or leave-in conditioners, so that I could truly test the product.  I found the scent to be very faint on my dry hair, not at all overpowering as some shampoos and conditioners can be, and less herbal.  My hair smells good, even a day or two later but it doesn’t have a noticeable scent.  The consistency of the shampoo is almost like whipped lotion .  I knew it would take a little little getting used to in terms of adding a little water in your hand and working it through your hair and I am ok with that as a trade of.   I don’t get a real lather with the shampoo which may or may not appeal to some.  The conditioner feels like a hair mask.  Because my hair is so long and I have a lot of it, I found it difficult to “coat” my hair as I normally would.  I think I would have used at least half the container.  I concentrated on my mids to ends as the directions suggested but I don’t think that makes sense in terms of some of the ingredients that are for the scalp.  After a few weeks of testing,  I’ve stopped using this set for now and I am going to try it again in a month or two when there is less humidity, the dry heat has kicked in, and I’ve cut my hair.  Maybe it will make more sense for me then.  Overall I love that this set is cruelty free, vegan, “up-cycled”, and concentrated but it doesn’t work for my hair currently. If this is in your budget then it may be a better fit for you.  I’ve included pictures of the packaging and the product (shampoo on right, conditioner on left) with a permanent marker for scale.  I will update my review in a few months (currently 9/24) if I find significantly different results when I use this on shorter hair in the cooler, more dry months ahead.

Boost Your Hair Health

What I like about the UpCircle Haircare Duo – Shampoo and Conditioner Crème: The shampoo only takes 1/3 amount from what I usually use on my hair. The shampoo lathers up nicely with an abundance of lather. The shampoo cleansed my hair wonderful on the first wash but I did complete a second wash per the instructions even though I do not feel it was necessary. The conditioner required a normal amount for my hair. I didn’t feel like I had applied enough conditioner but once my hair was dried it appeared I applied adequate conditioner. My hair was less tangled, easier to brush, less frizz and felt softer with more shine after using the products. The products did not irritate my skin nor scalp. I could not smell any fragrance or odors to the products. I liked this duo system for deeper cleansing and conditioning of my hair. My hair also experienced more fullness and lift. I did not require any additional products for blowing my hair dry as I usually use an oil before blow dry.What I dislike about the UpCircle Haircare Duo – Shampoo and Conditioner Crème: It is to pricey for this to be my routine shampoo and conditioner but I will be using it as a weekly repair boost for maintaining my hair health.
