Beauty Obsession: Oribe Signature Shampoo & Conditioner

Celebrity hair stylist Oribe is known for glamorous hairstyles and probably most famous for his work with Jennifer Lopez. When his hair care launched last year, naturally I was interested in lathering up. I recently ran out of my usual Kerastase Bain Satin which gave me the perfect opportunity to experiment. Mouth-watering packaging aside, Oribe’s Signature Shampoo & Conditioner did not disappoint. My fine hair felt so soft and manageable, plus smelled great all day. I finished my morning off by blowing my hair out with Oribe Crème for Style. The result? Shiny, swingy hair. Pretty glamorous, indeed. Available at spacenk.com - Shannon
