The X…or should I say The S Factor, has come a day early this week.

I don’t know if you know, but this year they have changed the categories…its now boys, girls, groups and…shampoos!

Let’s meet the judges!

And now it’s time to meet tonight’s contestants…THE SHAMPOOS!!! (and conditioners)

The shampoo and conditioners will perform one by one. The judges will comment on their performances, but then its up to the public vote to decide who is best!

Up first are the loveable duo-

ANDREW COLLINGE PURITY RANGE COLOUR THERAPY!

What the judges said:

The shampoo and conditioner (s+c from now on) bottles are very attractive in appearance. The natural green, mixed with the pale pink and cream really do give off a pure feeling. Inside the s+c are both very thick and have a really nice apple scent which is fresh and invigorating. The shampoo creates a good lather, but is a rather off-putting yellow colour. Overall they feel very expensive to use- and it is lovely to know you are using the very s+c that Andrew Collinge uses in his salons. The s+c created shiny, vibrant and healthy looking hair and the judges were very impressed with the quality and design!

CHERYL SAYS

ANDREW COLLINGE PURITY RANGE SMOOTH THERAPY!

The second performers have a tough act to follow, how will they fare against the judges’ comments?

What the judges said:

The judges were impressed with this s+c duo, but they failed to live up to the hype of the last performers. The shampoo wooed the judges with its delightful peach scent, but the conditioner let them down with its herbal/medical smell. The s+c created shiny and soft hair, but failed to eradicate frizz and did not instantly detangle. The s+c have an excellent price, consistency and appearance but they weren’t sure it had the S Factor!

SIMON SAYS

SCANDALOUS BIG&BEAUTIFUL VOLUMISING S+C!

What the judges said:

The judges really like the S+C’s vivid, bright and bold look. The hot pink and gold against the black add an air of glamour, excitement and expensiveness. The s+c are both very thick and sparkly (!) and the shampoo creates a brilliant lather. The scent lets it down slightly as it gets a bit sickly after a while, although at first it isn’t unpleasant. These ACTUALLY created voluminous hair, which stayed bouncy. The price is quite expensive (but these are James Brown products to be fair) at £5.49. However at the moment they are£3.50 at Superdrug, so the judges urge you to try them out now while they are on offer!

DANNI SAYS

SCANDALOUS GORGEOUSLY RICH MOISTURISING S+C!

What the judges said:

This S+C have a great design which is bold, simple and appealing. The S+C themselves are thick and sparkly, like liquid snow (I know this would just be water…but imagine it a bit thicker, whiter and with all the sparkle of snow.) They give an amazing lather and smell and feel very expensive to use (which arguably at their normal price of £5.49 they are for most people.) They leave hair revitalised, strong, very shiny and not greasy. A hard act to follow!

LOUIS SAYS

TIMOTEI FRESH AND STRONG S+C!

What the judges said:

You get more for your money with this act, not only are they the cheapest (£1.99 at Superdrug) but also the biggest (300ml whereas the others have all been 250ml.) Not only are they more economical, but they are also really great. The clear shampoo is fresh and invigorating and sure to energise you in the morning.  The conditioner is smooth and both create very soft, strong, smooth and shiny hair which feels healthy and smells great.  The judges are really impressed with these!

SIMON SAYS

THE UNDERDOG- SCANDALOUS FABULOUSLY FLIRTY DRY SHAMPOO

Can this solo act live up to the duos?

What the judges said:

This dry shampoo is not what the judges are used to on The S Factor, but they are completely converted. Unlike other dry shampoos it didn’t leave a chalky residue or make hair dull. It rejuvenates greasy or limp hair giving it a sparkling shine and more bounce, all in a few seconds. The spicy smell is pleasant and exciting, matching the bottle’s bold exterior, it is like a body spray and a dry shampoo in one. At £3.50 (usually £5.49) it is an expensive choice, but great for infrequent hair emergencies or sprucing up on a night out. The judges are surprised and again impressed!

CHERYL SAYS

So tonight’s performances are over and now the lines are open for the public vote!

So call and make sure your favourite is safe (not really…but feel free to leave a comment if you want haha)

Hope you’re all well, lots of love
