Cristophe Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner

Written by Lauren Warner, Staff Writer

I really enjoy the elegant simplicity of Cristophe Professional Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner. It smells heavenly. The bottle is cute and slim and looks so chic perched beside my $0.99 shower poof.

The actual shampoo and conditioner formula is a bright, sherbert orange making it impossible not to brighten your mood while sudsing up your hair. (No, it doesn’t make your hair orange.) In fact, the pretty, salon smell and bright happy orange have been the main reasons why I can’t stop reaching for the bottles each time I’m in the shower. It’s affordable for a salon product and it’s rich in argan oil, vitamin E and monoi oil.

I wouldn’t say I noticed a huge difference in the shininess of my hair, but I’ve never really been able to see a significant change in the shininess of my hair just from using shampoo and conditioner. I’ve only been able to achieve glossy locks from any additional products I’ve added to my hair after styling.

What I will say, is that Cristophe Professional Glossing Shampoo Conditioner DID improve the quality of my hair by making it softer and getting rid of any summer heat frizz without weighing down my hair. I suspect this smoothing quality is what makes this shampoo and conditioner set considered “glossing.” Logically, a smooth hair shaft will reflect more light than a hair shaft that is damaged or frizzy. I absolutely feel that this product helps repair and soften my hair and I really love that it doesn’t feel heavy after using this product like some moisturizing hair products do. My thick hair feels heavy enough without my hair products weighing it down.

My hair is naturally wavy and I can tell my hair was becoming more hydrated because my hair started to look curly again when I let it air dry but it wasn’t frizzy. In fact, my curls were more defined than usual.
