For the last month I have been using the Ojon Hydrating Thickening Ritual in a bid to get my hair to stop looking so ridiculously flat. As my hair is getting longer it is obviously getting a lot heavier and looking a bit lifeless, I really needed products that were actually going to work so I opted for all of these:
The Shampoo and Conditioner:
The picture above shows the trial sizes of these products. They lasted me a good two weeks before I needed to buy the full sizes. The shampoo has quite a gel-like texture, if you don’t squirt enough onto your hand, it has a habit of sucking itself back into the bottle. It was getting a bit annoying for a while, and as I was nearing the end of the bottle it had me “effin and blindin” as we say here. The bottle doesn’t have much ‘give’ to it.
The shampoo however lathers well and spreads easily through the hair… It should do though as there are sulphates in it. That would be the only bad thing that I have to say about this product, after trying for so long to stay away from sulphates in my hair care, my favourite product inevitably is riddled with it. The good thing though is that it has no silicones in the ingredients that I can spot easily. There is Ojon Oil within this shampoo which hydrates the hair to stop it from getting too dried out like most other volumising products, the idea is to leave the shampoo in the hair for 1-2 minutes and rinse. My hair feels very squeaky clean!
The conditioner is the second step in this ritual, you apply it after the shampoo and keep it in your hair for 2 minutes… like any other conditioner I guess. It has the Ojon Oil in it again to help keep the hair soft and hydrated while also thickening the hair. I have to say it works well, but with the shampoo and conditioner alone it can cause my hair to get quite static and fly away because it does get so soft.
Ojon state that you need to wash your hair every day with these products, and sure enough, I notice the difference when I leave my hair for a day before washing it again, its almost like starting all over again. My hair just doesn’t feel as thick or bouncy.
