In a typical summer, I spend most of my time swimming and damaging up my hair big time, this year my condo board chose not to open the pool at all. While one would think this meant my hair would have been saved some damage, I regretfully inform you that it has not. For some reason, probably a combo of sun and heat and using the wrong hair products for a few months, has lead to my hair being absolutely fried. Add to that my current traumatic hair loss, which has resulted in about 50% of my hair falling out in the last six months, my hair hasn't been feeling its best. 

I was super happy when I was asked if I wanted to try out Finesse's newly improved Hydration + Softness Shampoo and Conditioner. I haven't tried Finesse since I was a teen, so naturally, it brings back some nostalgia, but I was also very interested in seeing how the brand performs now and what improvements have been made.

This improved formula is now thicker and contains Camellia Oil to help hold moisture in the hair even during the hottest days. It does all this without weighing your hair down and providing a barrier against UV and Chlorine damage.

The shampoo has a slight creaminess to it, which just shows how moisturizing it is. It lathers incredibly easily into a nice rich foam and rinses easily.
