Sunsilk Hair Fall Solution Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Posted on January 23, 2018
Hair fall is something that causes much heartache to several women across the world. To combat this, Sunsilk provides you a pack of products that are the Hair Fall Solution Shampoo and Conditioner. This has been co-created by Dr. Francesca Fusco, Scalp Care Specialist who is a world leading expert in dermatology and scalp care.
Product Claim
Enriched with Soya Vitamin Complex, it gently cleanses weakened, easily broken hair while reinforcing the tresses from root to tip.
· Nourishment from root to tip
· Strengthening every inch of hair
· Formulation for visibly less hair fall
Review
The shampoo comes in a golden colored bottle with a slim shape. It has an easy to open flip cap and the shampoo comes out quite easily.
The conditioner comes in a tube of the same color as the shampoo and has a flip cap at the bottom.
The smell of the shampoo and conditioner isn’t very strong, and it is hard to actually identify a fragrance.
The shampoo doesn’t lather much, but rinses out well. When we tried, after washing the hair felt softer and nourished. It became a lot easier to detangle, especially at the ends of the hair which has the greatest tendency to become a tangled mess. As a result, there was less breakage and showed less hair on the comb than usual, though we’re not sure about the strengthening of the hair from ‘root to tip’.
If you’re applying oil beforehand, it would take two washes with the shampoo to wash out all the oil, one wouldn’t be enough.
Pros:
1. Shampoo
· Price is reasonable
· Long Shelf Life
· Rinses out well, not a major factor in product buildup
· A small quantity will suffice to cover entire scalp and medium length hair
· Hair feels softer and nourished after wash
2. Conditioner
· Price is reasonable
· Long Shelf Life
· Creamy consistency, coats the hair well
· Requires only one minute for action
· Helps in making hair tangle free and hence reduces breakage
· Hair feels smoother
Cons:
1. Shampoo
· Does not lather much
· Does not wash out oil completely
· No pleasant fragrance
2. Conditioner
· Contains parabens
· Does not have any effect on frizz
· No pleasant fragrance
Price
Shampoo – 400 ml: 375 rupees.
Conditioner – 180 ml: 190 rupees.
Where to buy
You can buy this shampoo and conditioner from any general store near you as Sunsilk is a very renowned company.
Verdict
The main claim of the shampoo and conditioner was reduced hair fall. We’d say that it is more of reduced hair breakage. After washing, your hair becomes smoother and easier to comb, which reduces the breakage. We’re not sure if continued usage of the shampoo would cause any effect to actually reduce hair falling from the scalp. Our main concerns are that it doesn’t wash out oil completely and does not combat frizz effectively. However, it would be okay as a mild daily shampoo and conditioner, provided you don’t apply oil beforehand.
Rating: 3/5
