Formulate Hair Care Review + Giveaway
As I am officially in the last year of my 20’s, I am REALLY focusing on the care + keeping of myself. As a toddler mom, it took me awhile to catch on to the whole “self-care” thing, but I am finally making it a priority! And on the top of this priority list - hair care…..
Que, Formulate!
Formulate is a personal care company providing shampoo + conditioner perfectly created and designed by Y O U. This company brings industry-leading chemists and engineers together to create technology that formulates based on your unique characteristics and their growing list of ingredients.
Formulate reached out to me at the end of 2018 to partner with them and try their product - and after 3 weeks of use, it has been an amazing experience!
#HAIRGOALS
I started off this journey by completing on online questionnaire focusing on my hair goals and what I was hoping to achieve.
My hair goals included:
+ Mending Split Ends
+ Thermal Protection
+ Hydration
+ Glossy Hair
+ Volume
In addition to this, I was asked to provide my current hair characteristics (color, thickness, texture, moisture, scalp-sensitivity, etc.), that way the chemists can get a general idea of how to formulate my shampoo + conditioner.
USE + MY THOUGHTS
Once I received my set of products, I was super excited to try it out! Unfortunately, my first set did not work out for me. But thankfully, if your set is not what you were hoping, Formulate will happily take their products back and tweak the formulations to fit your exact needs! All ingredients are 100% non toxic, sulfate free, paraben free, sodium free, and animal cruelty free.My second set was so much better!
Now, I will warn - if you have never used a sulfate-free shampoo, be prepared + patient for your hair to “adjust”. The first couple of washes, I felt my hair was course, gummy, and a little greasy. HOWEVER, after about the 5th wash, my hair felt back to normal, but more lustrous, thicker, and with more body!
Have I mentioned the fact that you can not only choose the scent of your shampoo + conditioner, but also the strength of the scent? I chose Green with Envy in Strong - because who doesn’t love for their hair to smell amazing all day long?
