This month Pureology provided me with samples of their EssentialRepair Holiday Gift Set & PureVolume Stocking Stuffers to test out at home. Being a huge fan of the Pureology Hydrate system (which comprise my current daily staples), I was super excited to try out both the EssentialRepair and PureVolume lines, neither of which I had ever tried before. Thank you Pureology, I just luvs ya!

The Pureology EssentialRepair system: Like Hydrate system, these products have an amazing scent that isn't synthetic smelling, too perfumed or too heavily floral scented. The scent is actually really the perfect complement for the holidays with the slightly woody, slightly minty essence of Rosewood combined with Jasmine and Ylang Ylang... truly invigorating! The system itself works wonders on damaged hair. My hair is quite long and thick so the bottom tips of my hair tend to dry out and become somewhat crispy with faded color and some split end formation (oh yes, that does sound like a mess). The EssentialRepair system was awesome with softening up, hydrating and bringing some life to those severely damaged ends (great for those times between trims). While the other portions of my hair weren't as smooth and as when using the hydrate line, I would definitely recommend this system for anyone with all over damaged hair (particularly brittle hair) that has been damaged due to bleaching, coloring, etc.

The Pureology PureVolume system: Another great line, the PureVolume system contains Lavender, Papaya, and Lemongrass scents and is slightly sweeter smelling than the Hydrate and EssentialRepair lines (the conditioner is especially sweet smelling). My hair is very thick, so in the past I've normally stayed away from volumizing shampoos because volume has pretty much been the one thing I don't want. However, in the past few years I've started embracing the thinning shears and a little extra volume no longer hurts. The PureVolume line does add some nice volume, but as expected this comes at the expense of some hydrating effect. The roots of my hair do tend to be somewhat oily so I sometimes have problems with over greasiness when I use moisturizing shampoos- the PureVolume line provides a nice counter to that effect. As a daily sort of shampoo, I would recommend this line to those with moderately healthy, fine hair that needs some extra oomph.
