What do I want from a shampoo and conditioner? A good hair day of course! And with the new PURITY collection from Andrew Collinge, I wasn’t disappointed.

I’ve been having something of a bad hair month – my tired tresses need a cut, some seaweed lightening and some general TLC, but payday is still a week away, so I was looking for a quick fix.

So, with dry and frizzy hair, it made sense that this morning, I washed my hair with the smoothTHERAPY Shampoo, which is designed to tame and smooth dry or frizzy hair, and conditioned it with the smoothTHERAPY Conditioner, which is a lightweight detangling formula with a zingy frangrance.

And while the above may sound like an advert voice-over, it’s actually the truth. On my way to work this morning, the window of Mango, Esprit and Zara all confirmed that my smooth, glossy hair is swishy and gorgeous – it’s a miracle I didn’t walk into a lamppost, so distracted was I by my improved reflection.

And the smell? Well, Hollie wasn’t lying in her review when she said this range smelt fabulous and salon-like. And what’s great is that it lingers…

So, a shampoo and conditioner that really does what it says on the tin – BRILLIANT.

After pay day, once the seaweed lightening is in, I’m looking forward to trying out the colourTHERAPY Shampoo and Conditioner. This promises to leave hair looking luminously healthy and lightly scented with linden blossom, jasmine and apple essence.

I must make a mental note, on the day I use this, not to check out my reflection in any passing buses, as I’ll be so distracted, I may actually end up under one!
