   Another week and another round of OGX goodies to try out. First in line was the Vitamin E Shampoo. I actually started out with the conditioner, loved it and went back to the store for the matching shampoo. It’s very gentle and helps tame the perpetual friziness that’s the bane of my life! Rinses out easily, lathers well but leaves my hair not quite as squeaky clean as I’d like it to, and over the next 2 days after washing it does get slightly oily. Probably best suited to drier and finer hair types, mine is more on the oily and coarse side. One thing I must mention is the smell, it’s an amber-pepper fragrance that I’m still not too sure whether I like or not. It’s unusual for sure! Not a bad shampoo by any means but also not quite what I was expecting it to be. The only reason I’ve given it 4 lippies instead of 3 is because it contains a VERY generous amount of Vitamin E in it – higher up on the ingredients list than any other shampoo I’ve seen before. Although I’m not convinced Vit E is any better for conditioning hair than say Panthenol (Vit B5), it’s still an excellent antioxidant and the perfect antidote for free radicals – which if you live in an urban or high UV environment like I do, you’ll likely be exposed to on a daily basis. This is the kind of shampoo that works long after you’ve rinsed it out, and for that reason it’s a keeper!

I love constantly trying out new stuff – usually sample sizes via e-bay, also plenty courtesy of a friend who works at Sephora)
