Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Review: Back to Basics Pomegranate Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner

What They Say: "Senses are indulged as hair is treated to a beneficial blend proven to restore hair's moisture balance. Gentle cleansers and detangling conditioners hydrate and smooth for soft, silky, shiny hair.
• Tames split ends and static indicative of dry hair.
• Increases flexibility of dehydrated hair resulting in responsive styling.
• Naturally derived surfactants carefully remove impurities with a sensuous, billowy lather.
• Color safe formula is gentle for all color treated hair."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: If the incredible scent (fresh, light, and luscious) doesn't get you interested in this shampoo and conditioner, then perhaps the fact that hair is transformed into strong, soft, and shiny locks WILL. The shampoo is clear and very gentle (my color has not faded while using it), and the conditioner creates a softness not often achieved with anything less than a deep conditioner. This has by far been my favorite cleansing and conditioning duo recently.

These formulas are specifically made for normal to dry hair. If you have a problem with oiliness, you may need to try a more specifically-engineered formula for your hair type. However, if you DO purchase these two, it is always best to get them at an actual salon to ensure you are getting the highest quality product.

Retail Price: $9.95-31.95 (both are available in three sizes) at salons (go here to find a salon near you)

DeLush Rating:

Profound Beauty Volume Power Spray

What They Say: "This patent-pending 75mph spray creates unprecedented volume, thickness and dramatic root lift. Micro-fine styling particles are released at high speed, propelling the product directly to the root of the hair, resulting in intense lift and windblown, spontaneous movement."

Melissa Says: This definitely did give my hair a bit of a boost, especially when used throughout my entire hair while bending over and spraying liberally (one of the suggested applications). Once I brushed it through I had increased body with no buildup at all and a soft look. However, in terms of root-lifting, I couldn't achieve a significant difference. I think perhaps my hair is too heavy for the holding level of this spray for me to get any significant root volume from it that didn't get quickly weighed down; this is why I believe this could be a great natural-feel body building spray for those with fine or thin hair. For me, it's nice for a boost in overall fullness, but it didn't achieve exactly what it promised.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors; go to profoundbeauty.com to find one near you)
