Review: GHD Guardian Shampoo and Conditioner for colour-treated hair.


I will start this review with the thing I disliked the most with the Guardian shampoo and conditioner and it is the scent. The scent is strong and a little overpowering. It isn't a pleasant scent but a citrus and fruit scent that reminds me a little bit of a cleaning product. This makes this shampoo and conditioner feel like they are cheap even though the shampoo costs about £9.95 and the conditioner costs £12.95 at HQhair.

But the products are good and they leave the hair feeling soft and shiny. I like the effect of these two products because they make my hair a little bit easier to control after I washed it. The hair also feel clean for a long time and I can't feel any build up in the hair when I use the shampoo and conditioner.

The packaging isn't the best. The shampoo comes in a bottle with a screw on cap. This makes it very hard to close the bottle when you have just poured shampoo in your hands and want to prevent the water from entering the bottle while you shower. Let me tell you it isn't easy to screw a cap on with one hand. I think it is a little bit odd that the shampoo comes in a bottle and the conditioner is in a tube. I think it would be better if both product came in a tube.

Overall grade: These products makes my hair soft and shiny but the scent brings the Guardian shampoo and conditioner down. If you are going to make a hair product with a strong scent at least make it a pleasant one.

On last thing before I end this review. During the time that I used these two products my scalp started to itch. I am not certain that the products caused this since I have a sensitive scalp that tend to itch from time to time. But I had to stop using these products after a while since the itching didn't improve while I was using them. So these products might not be the best thing for you if you have a sensitive scalp.
