I’m obsessed with Le Labo’s personal fragrances. Their wide selection of fragrances is so unique but appealing that even picky fragrance users like myself get hooked. Still, I was wary of trying their hair products because such items by perfume brands have fallen short of my expectations. They may come in beautiful bottles and have amazing scents that correspond with their personal fragrances; however, many left my hair stiff or even itchy. Le Labo’s Basil Shampoo and Conditioner have completely destroyed my pre-existing notion of “brand shampoo = sucko”, and I genuinely think they are worth the higher price tags.
I bought mine from Barney’s, and both shampoo and conditioner are priced at $28.00.
Currently, Le Labo shampoo and conditioner are offered in 2 scents, hinoki, and basil. I tested them out both, but hinoki was a bit too woody and heavy for my liking. Basil was the perfectly light and pleasant scent that I was expecting.
Both shampoo and conditioner boast deeply nourishing formulas that gently cleanse hair.
The shampoo is very light in texture and doesn’t lather much, unlike commercialized shampoos. You’ll need to wet your hair sufficiently before shampooing to reach all areas and more thorough cleansing.
The formula contains macadamia oil and moisturizing botanicals to gently cleanse and soften hair.
Okay. I really, really wanted to talk about this conditioner because it is the best conditioner I’ve used, bar none. And that includes professional haircare brands like Kérastase and Moroccan Oil.
The conditioner has a thick, paste-like formula that goes on smoothly, instantly providing deep nourishment. This feels more like a rich hair treatment than a conditioner, which is great for anyone with damaged ends from frequent heat styling. Because I have long hair, managing split ends is always a priority when it comes to conditioners and hair treatments.
The Basil conditioner contains a rich blend of avocado and coconut oil for ultimately soft and nourished hair.
My hair felt so smooth and silky after my initial wash, the result I was only able to achieve whenever I used a hair mask. Despite its rich formula, it surprisingly didn’t weigh my hair down as many repairing conditioners do.
If you’re looking for ultra-light conditioners, this conditioner might not be for you. It feels rich and nourishing, which was perfect for damage remedy; however, I can see how this conditioner can be too rich for some.
I was AMAZED at how long-lasting the fragrance was. The scent quickly fills the shower, elevating my shower experience. What was more notable was that the scent lingered all day long. I layered my favorite Le Labo fragrance, Neroli, and the two fragrances beautifully blended to create a refreshing, powdery scent (Neroli has a noticeable powder scent).
If you have damaged hair and are looking for a shampoo/conditioner duo that also smells amazing, look no further and try Le Labo.
