Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...and that's when I spotted Umberto Giannini's range. It was looking kind of slick and flash with it's shiny silver lid and it seemed that was exactly what I needed to cheer up my godforsaken month. Even better, it was on buy two get one free! Studying the range carefully I saw that there are two variations in the range. First came 'Curl friends' which was pink and really appealed to me. Unfortunately as I don't have curly hair I decided that may 'Sleek ...
...option. Cradling my prizes, I headed for the checkout and within an hour the Sleek and Chic's were waiting patiently on the windowsill for the following morning. It soon came and Sleek and Chic Straightening shampoo (£3.49) was first to the test. The shampoo is a clear blue/lilac and comes in a 250ml bottle. The front claims to smooth and add shine to all hair types. I was a little wary at this point as I usually purchase a shampoo specifically for ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...mine who has used this. Umberto Giannini, spelling mistake with ciao site, have great products featured in all of the magazines. My friend has really curlu hair and it is hard to control so she finds it hard to get a shampoo that does the right job. She has tried every shampoo possible and also all of the sleek ranges but non ework. The Pantene range is the worst it makes no difference and made her hair worse. The Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic ...
...know you might get the Umberto Giannini for 3 for 2 or something. It works up a good lather this shampoo and definitely cleans the hair well from what I have heard. It repairs hair that has been looking lifeless and dull and the conditioner used with the sampoo makes a difference and they are best used together to get the hair even better because this would help the curls be loose. It doesn't straighten hair but nearly straightens it and all that ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...and it is not cheap. Umberto Giannini retails at roughly £4.50 a bottle, and when you buy shampoo and conditioner that is around £9 for both. But in their defense, you really dont need to use much shampoo ans it SPREADS well, notice i didnt use lather, it does not lather particularly well, although i have been told from my hairdresser that this is in fact a good thing rather than a bad thing, as more white bubbly lather means more soap bubbles ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

I first bought this product as part of a buy one get one free deal in Boots. The first thing that caught my eye was the proclaimation that it would tame curls and frizz. Then I smelt it and have been buying it ever since. I used to just buy shampoos which were on offer, changing every time i bought one. I have been using this shampoo for about four months now, and have no inclination to change. The thing that I especially like is the smell. I am ...
...package looks stylish. Also you dont need a lot of this product, and despite the expense it lasts a while. I have also recently tried the shine one, and it did make my hair shiny. The only thing I can say is that so far I am extremely pleased with the product and it seems that they do indeed do just what they say. They also have a hairstyling tip on the bottle for aspiring hairdressers, to help you make the most of your hair. In conclusion I would ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

I decided to change my shampoo, and saw this one on offer in the shop. It was still quite expensive compared to the cheapo stuff I usually use, but it looked posh (was blue and silver so matched my bathroom) and when it said 'sleek and chic' I thought, brilliant. Just what I need. My hair isn't exactly straight, in fact it's quite curly. Once washed and blowdried (with straightening products) it's still frizzy and curly. Once straightened (with yet ...
...than usual (with the cheapo shampoo). I found that despite using a few conditioning/heat protect products this shampoo was quite drying on my hair which I think is why it was still a bit frizzy after straightening. I think this shampoo would work very well if you have kinky hair rather than curly, but then I never expected it to be a miracle cure. LOL. To sum up, it looks nice, smells nice and for those with kinky rather than curly hair, I'm sure ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...heavy. But i spotted Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic shampoo in Boots and thought i would give it a whirl. I've never tried a straightening shampoo before and thought for 4.45, it must work!! Rather excited i got home and tried it straight away. It works up a reasonable amount of lather and smells reasonably nice. You only need as small amount as it is quite runny. It washes out of you hair easy enough as well. Anyway, i dried my hair using my ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

i like many other people first bought this shampoo when there was an offer on the products in Boots, this particular offer was but two get one free from the whole brand. I paid £1.50 for 50ml which some might think is expensive but they come in the cutiest little paint tube style packages which are brightly coloured. The shampoo has a light lavendar fragrance to it which is not too overpowering, It is also lightly coloured again lavendar. This ...
...only get 50ml it goes a long way. Whats more is it really does leave you hair straighter, softer and easier to blowdry wuth your hair not being as flyaway. This stylist does a whole range of shampoos and conditioners all of which are really good and there is one to suit all hair types, so if i was you i would give it a try. ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...conditioner after using the moisturising umberto gianni for a few years and really loving it. however after my first wash with this shampoo my hair was dry, felt like straw and was very tangled. the smell from the product whilst using it and after use is really nice and clean and the blue colour and bottle style looked very good in my bathroom. after shampooing and conditioning with this product i attempted to comb my damp hair and found it was ...
...my hair is very long and is usually in perfect condition but after one wash with this it took me over a week to get it back into shape. when it was brushed and dryed i used my straightening irons on my hair but was left with sticky straw like hair i had to wash again with another product to remove the sticky feeling. this could work on shorter hair or on finer hair, im not sure. overall i found this product well below the usual quality that i ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

I tried this shampoo after seeing a friend use it as part of my mission to tame my wavy hair and get straightened out. I use the shampoo, conditioner and blow-dry cream from this range and I never thought my hair would get so straight. It smells nice and fragrances your hair for a while, although I wouldn't buy the shampoo particularly for its fragrance. It comes in a very "chic" bottle and has all the properties of an expensive designer shampoo ...
...hair squeaky clean quickly, as well as getting rid of any residue that may build up. It also leaves your hair shiny after blow drying. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to tame wild hair - even people with straight hair might find it useful for adding shine and managability. ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

I first bought the shampoo because I like to try as many different shampoos as possible and when i saw this one on the shelf I thought I'd give it a try! This product is severely over priced! The price nearly put me off buying the product! However I falsly thought the higher the price the better the quality of the product, boy was I wrong! I have quite dry and thick hair, so those are the main points I want a shampoo to change when I use it. A ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

...had never even heard of Umberto Gianni before until my nan brought me some of this for christmas. When I un-wrapped it it looked really posh and expensive, I really love the colour and the bottle. Anyway I tried it out and it really made a difference on my hair. I use hair straighteners on my hair every day and it started to look a bit frazzled! When I tried this it stopped the 'big hair look'. The smell is really nice, it is a really unusual fragrance. ...

Review of Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Straightening Shampoo

I tried Umberto giannis sleek and chic straightning shampoo for the first time about a year ago when the sleeker and straighter your hair was the better, and as i myself am a hairdresser I had already tried about every other product that was available to me on the maerket including proffesional brands. I can honestly say that this shampoo works, it does exactly what it says on the packet and it leaves your hair feling great. It does'nt have a very ...
