Phyto Lactum Shampoo

Advantages: It does what it promises it will
Disadvantages: It is more expensive than standard brands

...Two years ago, my friend in the United States, recommended Phyto Citrus shampoo to me; I had been complaining about my hair looking lifeless and lacklustre. Having all but given up hope of ever having an even remotely shiny mane again, I decided I had nothing to lose trying it. It was worth it! It has a luxurious and creamy texture and although it is scented, unlike some other shampoos, it is not overpowering and leaves your hair smelling natural and fresh. This particular shampoo has grapefruit extract. It does not have 'crazed' lathering, as with other brands, rather an understated lather that nonetheless does the job of cleansing very well.

Advantages: softer hair and easier to manage
Disadvantages: small tube and hard to buy

...we use this on our baby's hair it has become softer and slightly easier to maintain since using it. I would recommend it to other parents. I am mixed race and my husband is black so our baby also has mixed textured hair and this product suits her hair very well. Hard to buy though I have to go to john lewis to buy which is a trek. I have just searched the internet for it and there are a few more stockists listed on the offical phyto site. Tonight I ordered more online. Prices seem to differ though and I was scared of imitations so please do a good amount of research on the company you find on the internet make sure they are a listed phyto stockist. This smells good enough to eat!... Read review

Advantages: Protects and nourishes your hair, leaving an au naturel scent
Disadvantages: More expensive than usual drugstore brands

...Four words. I love this product! Although Phyto Plage Veil is listed in the beach range of Phyto products, I find it is fabulous for providing year round protection from damaging UV rays. I use mine every day and it not only protects, it nourishes too. A lightweight and non-greasy, veil of spray, it contains sweet almond, sunflower extract, white lotus extract and more. The scent is beautiful and is as fresh as a summer breeze. You can spritz it on your hair after you have styled but I also use it as a stand-alone styling product. It does not weigh the hair down at all and leaves it feeling silky and sleek. I find it is also useful for taming frizzy hair and although anyone could benefit from using it, I think it could be extremely beneficial for those with coloured, bleached or permed hair. Despite being more expensive... Read review
