Review: Philosophy Shear Splendor Shampoo



What they say:
Philosophy's Shear Splendor collection of restorative hair care products are formulated for the oldest thing about you - your hair. What peptides have done for your skin, they can now do for your hair. Unique peptide combination helps improve the overall health of the hair follicle, ultimately repairing and restoring hair from deep within the hair shaft. Philosophy brings to market a cutting-edge, bio-peptide and soy-based shampoo formula for people who crave added sheen, body and hydration for their hair chronically dry or aging hair.

What Cosmetic Genius says:
Ok, aside from the question of what peptides can do or their efficacy for your skin or your hair, this is truly a dependable shampoo. It is one of those products that I always come back to after experimenting with another brand (hey, it's all in the name of research!). From what fans of the shampoo tell me, this is their experience as well. It smells great, like lemon custard but not in an overly foodie way. It lathers well, and is safe to use daily. I have never felt a build up or a change in performance with repeated use. I don't have chronically dry or processed hair myself, but fans tell me that it works especially well on "challenged" hair. The super-sensitive among you can take note: some shampoos make my scalp incredibly itchy and that is not the case here. It is impressive that a company that doesn't specialize in haircare has created such a fantastic range, but then again fans of the philosophy brand shouldn't be that surprised!
