Sunsilk Straight Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Review

A few days ago, I took part in the Sunsilk Straight Hair Quest Contest, and won me a Sunsilk Straight Hair shampoo and a conditioner from the brand. Thank you Indiblogger.com for hosting it.

In this post, mostly unrelated from the rest, I would like to relate my experience with the two products.

Sunsilk claims that this shampoo is: an advanced product formulated with Straight-Lock Technology, which actively controls and gently binds hair together into a simple and elegant, straight style.
The range includes Sunsilk Straight Shampoo, Sunsilk Straight Conditioner and a Sunsilk Straight Detangling Mist, all which utilised Straight Lock Technology to seal straightness and control the way in which the hair dries.

Look at the packaging. 

My experience: 

Packaging and Pricing: 

I found the packaging to be pretty boring. Same as the rest. I like purple though. The shampoo is 80 ml. and the conditioner 90 ml. I have no clue why Sunsilk would be so disparate with the quantities. However, its their party. The products are quite reasonably priced at 56/- each. 

Product: 

Both the shampoo and the conditioner are white and slightly runnier than their other Sunsilk counterparts. I noticed that especially for the conditioner. They soften my hair a lot, and detangles it quite well. After shampooing, I use the conditioner on my hair, not on my scalp. I have noted that without the conditioner, the shampoo does not do much apart from really volumizing my hair. 

I like the smell, which is quite bearable, and the fact that after using this for the last month or so, my hair is much less frizzy and with little or no flyaways. Although this does not tame my curls, it DOES ALIGN them, i.e. my riotous curls actually reduce to a wave (which is a big feat indeed) so I would give it full marks there.

Another thing I have noted is that it does tend to weigh my hair down slightly after the second day, so frequent washing is necessary.

Overall, I am quite happy, and would like to purchase this and use it more.
