Arvazalia Color Care System


Arvazalia Color Care System

I was born with blonde hair that got darker as I got older. I never liked my natural hair color so I have been dying my hair since I was 11. Yes, I was young. I started with Sun-in and then over the years I gradually moved to bleaching my hair platinum.

While I don't have platinum hair anymore, I still love experimenting with different hair colors and I have gone from blonde, to black, to red, and now it's currently burgundy. Not only do I abuse my hair with chemicals, but I also flat iron it too. And I have no plans of stopping any time soon. But years of this abuse has really taken it's toll and my hair is a fried out frizzy mess. So when I had the opportunity to try this Arvazalia Color Care System sulfate free shampoo and conditioner kit complimentary for review, I was really excited.

Arvazalia Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner

First off, can we talk about the box? The packaging itself is gorgeous. The box is huge (and heavy). Receiving this kit was like getting an early birthday present! Then upon opening you are greeted by the site of 2 gigantic bright bottles - one of shampoo and one conditioner. And then to top it off they even throw in a hair mask.

On my first use, I tried opening the shampoo, and when I squeezed the bottle nothing was coming out. Then I realized that there was a seal over the shampoo. Doh! Once I got it open, I poured about a nickle size amount into my hand. The shampoo has a opalescent color and a pleasant floral scent. It is sulfate free, so it doesn't lather very much. But it still did a great job of getting my hair clean. Then I followed it up with the hair mask from the jar. You don't need to use that much. A little goes a long way. I left it on for the time required and then rinsed it out really well. After my hair was dry I flat ironed it and it made it super smooth and shiny. See the before and after pics below.

Then my next use, I used the shampoo and the conditioner by itself. Like a dolt, I tried squeezing out the conditioner and nothing came out. That too, was sealed. I should have probably remembered this from the shampoo incident, but I am old and my memory is starting to fail me. But now you know so you won't make the same mistake I did. And if you do, then you're a dolt too. :-P

But anyway, the conditioner is very light and has the same floral scent as the shampoo. It has made my burgundy hair more vibrant and has been helping the color stay true. And since red shades fade to quickly, it is definitely a necessity.

Needless to say, I think this is a fantastic product. It holds up to any other popular and pricier brands that you could find at salons. It is worth the price. And because the packaging is so lovely, it makes a great gift!

You can find the Arvazalia Color Care System on Amazon for around $40
