I bought the shampoo and condition together. My red highlight were fading FAST and I hope that this duo would prolong the life of my colour. I can't say that it made my colour last any longer than any other professional product. I think that this is a little less concentrated than other products I've used as well. However, the smell is just beautiful, fresh and light, and long lasting. It's a rose scent, which, usually I dislike, but, this is so pretty. My hair is very thick, but fine, and wavy. So, it tends to get weighed down with some products for chemically treated hair, and others leave it dry and unmanageable. I find that my hair is shiny, soft, and has really nice body after using this stuff. So, while it didn't seem to do what I bought it to do, it is a hair care product!
