Review: Privé Concept Vert Pure Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello Ladies!

Today I'll do a review of Privé Concept Vert Shampoo and Conditioner. I was sent the products to do a review, nevertheless this review is completely honest (as all my reviews are).


When I got them I was thrilled as I'm very into natural and biological makeup/cosmetics lately and this bottles are made of aluminium (very recyclable) and besides they promise to provide 2x as many washings as traditional shampoos/conditioners and to be a color safe formula without Sodium, Paraben and Sulfate.

How it looks like

As you can see the shampoo is very foamy and doubles (at least) in size when you apply it, while the conditioner is much more creamy but it still doubles in size when applied.



My experience

Before I was switching shampoos every now and then (when I didn't like the smell or something else anymore) as they did nothing for my hair. Since my hair is curly none of the shampoos really helped to define those curls, all they did was moisturise my hair. But this shampoo and conditioner really define my curls and make my hair soft. 

(This picture was taken after washing my hair)

Pros:
+ Divine (citrus) smell - I never had a shampoo/conditioner that smelled so good!
+ Patented air powered technology (makes getting the product out of the bottle so easy) 
+ Sulfate and Paraben free formula
+ Color safe formula 
+ Pretty package
+ Reusable aluminium package 
+ Without artificial ingredients as many commercial shampoos and conditioners
+ Rich, creamy foam that doubles in size 
+ It really lasted twice as long as an ordinary shampoo and conditioner
+ Makes your hair squeaky clean and very soft

Cons:
- My scalp was itching if I left the Conditioner on for more than 2 minutes (it says to leave it on for 2 minutes)
- Sometimes my hair would get all tangled up (this never happened with any other shampoo & conditioner)
- Only available in USA

Overall:
I really like it as it smells fabulously, it is hair-friendly (without sulfates and parabenes) and really practical. I've learned not to leave the conditioner on for more than 2 minutes but besides that, it works great and after washing my hair, they smell great for hours :) So I love it :)

Price:
Concept Vert Pure Shampoo 28 $ 
Concept Vert Pure Conditioner 30 $

both can be only bought at elite salons and spas in USA
