My Thoughts: Whenever I'm reviewing a new shampoo I always like to start on really dirty hair. The label claims that it's "the ultimate hair detox" so I wanted to give it a real test. On throughly rinsed and soaking wet hair, I applied the shampoo. The first thing I notice was the smell...very minty and very strong. Not only was the peppermint to strong for my nose, but my scalp felt a little irratated as well. However, it got my hair and scalp very clean and it made my curls soft and springy. It also had a nice mild lather to it, not too sudsy. Next I applied the conditioner generously through my hair in 2 sections. It goes on pretty smooth and gave an adequate amount of slip. Normally I like to leave the conditioner on for 5 or 10 minutes and then detangle and rinse, but just like the shampoo the mint was to much for me and I couldn't wait to rinse it out. But just like the shampo, the condtioner lived up to the label's claims. My hair was soft, defined and well purified lol!

However, I doubt if I would actually purchase this duo. Even though the final outcome was great, I need to enjoy the full expirence before I pay $12 and $16 for a product. The peppermint was too strong for my scalp, but if hair doesn't mind the mint I say go for it. Good stuff but it's not for me.
