Recently we presented you all with a poll, where we asked if you’d be interested in product reviews and information. You gave us amazing feedback and many of you were all in for the reviews, so today we have our collaboration with the folks over at Formulate, we will be reviewing their specially formulated shampoo and conditioner.
We all have our own hair routine, some more extensive than others, and it may differ from one sex to the next, Jared and I got to both work with Formulate so that they could present us with a shampoo and conditioner that fit our exact needs, let me begin by telling you our needs couldn’t be more light years apart. Let’s get down to business ( mentally breaks out into full Mulan sing-a-long mode *to defeat….THE HUNS ) now that we have gotten that mental note out of the way lets take it back the beginning, Formulate truly gets down to business in pinpointing your specific hair needs. You begin by taking a quiz that is all about you, your hair routine, and most importantly, your hair. They gather every detail from your hairstyle, length, thickness, and consistency to obtain all they can to do exactly what they are called, Formulate. It all goes into your specialized formula, even the weather in your area falls into play, all this information comes together for the chemist over at Formulate to make the perfect blend of ingredients that are sulfate free, paraben free, and animal cruelty-free. You also select your scent from many presented options, that can always change for your next refill in the case you feel the need to change from your herbal winter preference to a sea breeze summer scent.
I have oily coarse hair that is its own entity of volume and frizziness, while on the other hand, Jared has the waves of the summer ocean in Hawaii, but it presents itself a little dry at times. So our formulas were created to tend to those exact needs, when we first received our shampoo and conditioner we were ready to find a solution to all our hair problems, this was the first time we were going 100% paraben and sulfate free. After a few weeks of our treatment we noticed our hair reacting in its own way, I was finding my hair to feel heavier and not flowy, Jared started off with amazing results even our family members were noticing, his hair being naturally dry, it was living for the nutrients while mine that already overproduces oil, was sort of drowning itself in its own overproduction on top of the new routine change which was doing its job, allowing my hair to naturally nourish itself. After those few weeks of washes Jared’s hair then fell into the same situation where, though his hair looked super healthy and glowing, he felt it was a little heavy as well, we reached out to the Formulate team about our formulas and like the experts they are, they knew right away what our issue was addressing it for us to understand what was happening, they stated our hair is used to harsh cleansers that typically strip it’ of all its natural oils and nutrients and the switch to Formulates gentle cleanser, that was not stripping our hair, allowed those natural nutrients to stay and do their job and our hair and scalp just needed to adjust to the new routine, basically our hair was still producing oils and nutrients at the previous rate when the shampoo and conditioner were stripping them all away so now that the case was different we had nutrients to spare and that was why we were feeling that extra weight. Formulate didn’t just give us an answer to this issue they also formulated a solution, seeing the way our hair was reacting to the first formula, they saw this meant we needed a little more time and more of a process to allow our hair to adjust so they created a brand new formula to address that need along with all the other ones they had gathered from our personalized quiz. Whenever you create your formula if any part of it isn’t what you expected or you feel there is something missing they will reformulate that set for you at no cost! Their mission is to truly Formulate the perfect blend for you as an individual.
When you receive your specialized shampoo and conditioner your answers from the personalized quiz will come with it and an explanation of the ingredients and how they each address those needs you specified. It comes with instructions as to how many pumps of shampoo and conditioner you need and the time allowance to get the best results. With my hair being coarse and curly I’m used to pouring half the bottles of both just to get a good wash in, but from our experience, we learned lather doesn’t necessarily mean it is cleansing, it actually has nothing to do with cleanliness. So when my instructions read only two pumps of shampoo and I wasn’t seeing soap all over my head and hands I thought something must be wrong, little did I know my hair was just about to start living its best truly clean life. On top of my hair actually being cleaned properly and not stripped of its natural oils and nutrients, alongside Jared’s, we were both experiencing the scent we had chosen for our formulas to stay throughout our day and until our next wash. Your hair smells clean and fresh even the day after your shower, making the “don’t wash your hair every day” rule easier to follow.
We have been using our formulas as our sole hair routine and we see no return to our old routine nor do we see any other routine to work the way Formulate does. I don’t have to buy any oils to control frizz or spend on mouse and hairspray to tame my curls, my hair natural flows with its waves and has grown strong and healthy with its natural oils and nutrients thanks to Formulate and for Jared, his hair has never looked better, he’s always preferred having his hair a bit on the longer side but always struggled after a certain length to get it to work with him without having to use additional products like oils or gel, that issue doesn’t exist anymore, at all lengths he has experienced while using Formulate, his hair stands voluminous and full of shine. We have cut out the need to buy additional hair products on top of our shampoo and conditioner because now our specialized formulas from Formulate are honestly all we need.
Traveling often, we find ourselves in different places but you can always find our Formulate bottles in our luggage, their amazing packaging makes it easy for anyone whos on the go, when you receive them they come covered with a little cap and the pump on the side, we stored these caps in our bathroom drawers and take them out to cover our bottles to make them leak proof for our flights. The team over at Formulate think of every single thing, including the packaging and it shows, the design of the bottle itself makes them easy to store on any shelf or bathtub corner.
