We all may not have the $400.00 that it would take to experience a haircut by the world renowned Oribe, but we all can luckily have something that is the next best thing. I have been on the lookout for a second hair care line to switch off with my first, which would be Kerastase. I am a great believer in switching shampoo, conditioner, and styling products every 2/3 weeks. Well after some serious investigation, I finally made the decision to try out the Oribe products. For anyone that might not be familiar with the incredible Oribe here is a little bit of history.
Cuban- American born Oribe Canales pretty much became the King of the World working very hard for over 3 decades. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Cristy Turlington, and Heidi Klum are just a few of the famous names that have put their tresses into the more than capable and talented hands of Oribe. Oribe is also behind the signature look of the gorgeous Jennifer Lopez and became well known for his great love of sexy big hair. Needless to say, Oribe has earned and enjoyed a reputation that has been cheered by editors, designers, stylists, superstars, and celebrities everywhere.
CONDITIONER FOR BRILLIANCE & SHINE
as well as the amazing ROYAL BLOWOUT
. First of all, the packaging is to die for. My products are in midnight blue heavy and thick plastic (recycled, I checked) bottles that look exactly like glass, along with writing that is done in gold, while others are in either black or deep burgundy (gorgeous!) The Royal Blowout is housed in an elegant black spray bottle. Now for the contents. The scent of all of the products is elegant, subdued, sophisticated, and delicate. The citrusy scent lingers in a light and and sort of "way in the background" kind of way. There are tons of plant extracts and a reasonably small amount of preservatives. My hair is thick and wavy, and at times has seemed to have a very strong mind of its own, so I need a quality product at all times. I knew I was going to be a happy little camper as soon as I used the shampoo. My hair felt great and there was no leftover sticky residue. I leave the conditioner in for the duration of my shower, and when I rinsed it out I was left with hair that felt like silk. Side note/ You only need to use a small amount of these products because they are so condensed) I really had the feeling that I could do a blowout without any other product, but I went ahead and sprayed the ROYAL BLOWOUT through the lower third of my hair. This product claims to shorten the drying time, and I must say that in fact for me it did just that. My hair came out super shiny, there was absolutely zero heaviness, and it looks healthy, flowy, and full of body. I am thrilled to finally have found these products, and I am most definitely a fan! You can learn more and or purchase the entire line at Oribe.com. Lastly and still so very important, I had no need to use my flatiron! Now that is just plain Fabulous!
