A fair review
I am at the end of my shampoo and conditioner duo from guava and gold, I feel I have given it a fair go and am therefore able to give a fair review.
On the surface, the product looks great, lots of positive reviews, and generally appears to be cruelty free and free of most nasties from what I can tell.
The product itself is nice, I feel my hair is generally softer and more manageable. I also have found I can go longer between washes.
The issues I have with the shampoo and conditioners are the pricing. £20 for a 200ml bottle really seems very steep, especially compared to other similar products in this price bracket. I don't mind paying this amount of money but I would expect the product to last a fair bit longer, I felt as soon as I opened it I was watching for when it ran out! I also felt that the scent descriptions don't really tell you what they smell like which is a shame, would be nice to have more clarity on this so we can select a fragrance we prefer. I also feel it would be nice to know if the products were silicone free, and if not why not. I also notice that the shampoo and conditioner contain a shimmer, and I am unsure if this is plastic based.
Overall a nice product, I would buy again but not in its current format. I'd like to see more clarification on ingredients and fragrances, and better value for money in terms of volumes of product.
