I have been using Kerastase /Loreal Shampoo and Elixir. When I finished the Kerastase, I decided to try some other brands other than Kerastase. There, started my search for a good organic hair care product with NO Sulfates, phthalates, parabens, silicone and I came across this wonderful brand called BRÖÖ. You must have already read my thoughts on their Indian Pale Ale Shampoo & Conditioner here

I am a big fan of these products and today I am going to share my thoughts on other 2 variants from the brand. Many people think about having a beer after a long day, especially in this scorching NZ summer season. A Shampoo & Conditioner made from beer might sound like tricky, but it’s actually awesome. Beer’s big three ingredients—barley, hops, and yeast—are rich in hair-nourishing B vitamins, proteins, and natural essential oils. So in place of plain water, the main ingredient in most shampoos, Bröö uses oatmeal porter, and adds in other hydrators like olive oil and shea butter and olive oil.IMG_8516

BRÖÖ have shampoos and conditioners sold in three variants: Volumizing Pale Ale, Hydrating Porter and Smoothing IPA.

Why are these different

Ingredients include hops flowers that release essential oils to nourish the hair and barley protein for body.

NO Sulfates, phthalates, parabens, silicone (like dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxanes), quaterniums, dyes, sodium chloride, harsh preservatives (only food-grade), MEAs, DEAs, TEAs, PEGs, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, dioxanes, color-friendly, pH-balanced and 100% Cruelty free & Vegan.

All of the shampoos and conditioners feature 100% natural fragrances. There’s citrus, ginger and lemongrass with a malt finish; vanilla, toffee and caramel notes with a chocolate and coconut finish; and an exotic blend of cinnamon, ginger and cardamom.

Why I love HYDRATING Oatmeal Porter Shampoo & Conditioner

I must say, absolutely in love with this. I love the coconut+cocoa smell of this. Total bliss. It lathers well and after washing and drying, my hair is really really soft. Leaves a beautiful shine. This is gentle enough for everyday use too. On some days, I just skip the shampoo and use just the conditioner and wash off to reveal the beautiful shiny hair. it doesn’t weigh down the hair. Also the conditioner lock in softness and eliminate frizz.  This shampoo leaves my hair soft, shiny, and smelling amazing. Plus, it gets it super clean and free of any residue. With this duo, I never felt the need to use a hair oil. This formula itself is so nourishing and is the best combo to deal with the summer frizz.

Why I love BRÖÖ VOLUMIZING Pale Ale Shampoo & Conditioner

A lot of people suffer from thinning of hair, hair loss etc. This can be due to number of reasons, such as poor nutrition, genetics and most importantly, stress. Some people get those luscious locks they want by usinghair extensions or wigs. While, some others change their hairstyles and add layers to create the illusion of fuller hair and other majority opt for volumizing shampoo to attain the volume they want. If you are looking for a solution for your always-limp hair and You want a different shampoo with no sulfates, phthalates, parabens, silicones, dyes, PEGs, or other unwanted chemicals, and which is made with 100% natural vegan fragrances – this is for you!

This is my favorite shampoo and conditioner from the brand. As the name suggest, this one really adds volume to the hair. Hair that has a good volume looks healthy and gives you a more pleasant appearance. The beer + awesome ingredients soften the hair strands and makes it easy to style. If you like hairstyles like full blown ponytails and side-swept bangs with waves, this shampoo conditioner duo will be perfect for you. The nourishing ingredients in this shampoo give the hair maximum volume from the root that lasts all day.  Another wow factor about this is , it doesn’t dry out the hair strands. It really nourishes the roots.
