L'Oreal INOA Colour Care Shampoo, Conditioner and Masque

It's been a while since I've written about any hair wash products, mainly because nothing's grabbed my enthusiasm, but thankfully the arrival of INOA's Colour Care range completely changed that.  It couldn't have arrived at a better time as it came a day after I completely changed my hair colour (check this out) so I was in a great position to give these a full test run.

The full range has quite a strong, neutral scent that I think either sexes would happily use.  The two main ingredients are Argan Oil and Green Tea and the Green Tea is the dominant scent.  I personally really like it as I find Green Tea a clean and fresh scent, but not everyone will like it so if you're planning to invest, give it a sniff first.

These products strike the perfect balance, leaving me with clean hair that's touchably soft without weighing it down or making it greasy.  For me, the stand-out product is the masque which is almost like a solid butter in the tub, but melts down to a rich, deeply softening cream.

Weirdly, the conditioner (150ml) is smaller than the shampoo (250ml) which I find strange as I always end up finishing conditioners before I finish shampoos, but the masque is a generously sized 200ml which will last me absolutely ages.

I definitely feel that using this range has kept my colour in great condition.  I have brown hair with a large chunk of blonde underneath, and whilst the brown might have faded ever so slightly, the blonde - a notoriously difficult colour to maintain without it turning or going brassy - has stayed true to form since I had the colour done just over two months ago.

In conclusion, this is a reasonably priced, very effective range that delivers on both hair and colour care.

 The RRPs are £10.40 for the shampoo, £11.50 for the conditioner and £14 for the masque but Gorgeous Shop stocks the whole range at a reduced rate.
