Products you need, or need to avoid, reviewed without prejudice or favoritism.

You can read the copy below from a mix of sites selling this product. Does it deliver what it claims – absolutely. This is the first product fully endorsed by GWK. Easy to use and good for almost any style of hair. Several of the stylists we spoke to use it on their clients and highly recommended it for hold rather than using a cream or hair spray. Warning – go easy as this is potent stuff. You don’t want to walk out of your house looking like Cameron Diaz in Something About Mary.

Redken Rough Clay (20) is a maximum-control matte styler that delivers the intense mattifying texture of clay with smooth, effortless application. It delivers a unique benefit: extreme control cream-clay that is easy to apply, but also delivers the intense mattifying texture of clay. Redken Rough Clay (20) is suitable for all hair types and ideal for men and women with short to medium length hairstyles, who want drastic, directional styles with enduring texture and separation. Redken’s Interbond Conditioning System uses kaolin clay to create instant grab, shocking texture and a matte surface effect. Texturizing beeswax infuses remarkable density, hairspray resins provide maximum control with high definition style, and a UV filter helps protect against environmental aggressors.

A scalp stimulating conditioner that provides the right amount of moisture to protect while leaving hair weightless. Stimulates and refreshes the scalp with Peppermint. Infuses moisture with Soy protein and Jojoba Seed Oil. It definitely falls into the moisturizer and reconstructor for a conditioner in that it contains hydrolyzed soy protein which is supposed to penetrate the hair and strengthen it.

Overall, it is a very good conditioner, only thing is… Do you want your hair to smell like mint? Good for gelato, not sure about hair.
How To Use: After shampooing, massage a liberal amount into hair and scalp. Leave in 3-5 minutes to maximize conditioning or longer for damaged hair. Rinse well.

This shampoo doesn’t smell like the beach or give you the feel of salt water in your hair after surfing all morning. On the bright side it doesn’t smell like rotting seaweed or have hypodermic needles in it.

There is nothing significant about this shampoo that justifies you spending $15 on it. Yes it does the job and cleanses your hair but so does any other shampoo at the supermarket. Its ingredients are standard for most shampoos – panthenol, aloe vera, water and the litany of other usual suspects, which make shampoo slightly acidic. The spirulina seem to have no proven scientific effect on hair unless digested, but the sea kelp is rich in vitamin B. Vitamin B increases metabolism and cell growth, which is essential to new hair growth. However, there is little evidence that vitamins applied to the surface have an effect on hair. Although this is largely debatable it is proven that vitamin B does have an effect on cells just below the epidermis. Thus it is better if you start taking your vitamin B complex orally to grow more hair, speed up growth or just slow the progress of the inevitable baldness and not waste it on products that use it for marketing purposes.

The only thing about the ocean this product will be able to claim is that its crappy made in China little plastic bottles will probably be found in the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
