Regenerating Shampoo with Prickly Pear Oil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After watching the video tutorials, I was super excited to try this line. I don’t know, maybe I was overly encouraged by the marketing, though I myself am a marketer (stupid.stupid.stupid.lol), or perhaps, it was that I received samples of their rose volume scrub shampoo stuff (looks like a chocolate facial exfoliator) along w the clarifying salt/scalp shampoo scrub …. & I LOVED both samples. I expected, at the very least, the Regenerating Regimen, would make my hair as smooth as it is when I get it professionally blown out, especially cuz blowout places use pretty average product in my experience (think: Amika, B&B, Redken, Kevin Murphy, Pulp Riot, Aveda, etc), yet somehow my hair turns into silk. So I kinda expected this glass, silk-like effect I saw on the site & not AT ALL was it even close. It’s just an avg shampoo/regimen/product line. I’m an Esty, I use high quality …ohh Everything lol, and I’ve had long hair my whole life - what I’m saying is I’m using the highest quality instruments w expert technique, and the product is “just mehhh” compared to even.. Redken.. yeahh I know right? I swear I’ve had better results from hacks like WOW, even. So sadly, I was dissatisfied but too busy (ehem, lazy) to return. I hastily assumed this regimen would fall somewhere in the neighborhood of the unique, proprietary quality experienced with other CR products; though again, it just wasn’t there, darn it. Wish I selected diff items, I suppose. I have long hair so I’ll just go through this pretty quickly anyhow. I guess I’m mostly bummed about the price point. Many products are average. Kerastate even has its over-priced avg product; you kind of just have to know the “winners” from each line; though, at price points like these, I def expected more. I wanted to be as impressed as I was w/ the samples I received & absolutely was not. Should it be helpful, I’d recommend the rose/pink volume shampoo & cleansing scalp scrub salt shampoo. Still think they’re wayyyy too pricey for what they are; however, they do give a spa-like quality to your everyday shower. And I like the cute packaging. Ohhh, - one last thing , bcuz the consistency of the product recommended above is thick and scrub-like; literal chunky salt, it’s easy to waste a lot while showering. I’d caution consumers to be careful when handling in-shower! I hate seeing pricey product just drop right off my hair n on the shower floor. Def not “easy” in that way.
