Sunsilk Perfect Straight Shampoo & Conditioner (REVIEW)

Can a shampoo really straighten your hair? Read on to find out. 

I'm a sucker for cute packaging and I can't deny that I bought this shampoo mainly because of the cute purple bottle it comes in.

Pretty right?

It was love at first sight -

So, I was out shopping with my mom and my brothers when my eyes landed on the cute bottle. I instantly went ahead and picked it up. 

The villain in our love story - 

Even though I was head over heels in love with Sunsilk Perfect Straight, I was having second thoughts because I had been wanting to try Garnier Goodbye Damage since a while now. After having a long debate with myself in my head and annoying my mom and brothers (who very nicely told me that they couldn't care less and I should just pick one and move on. It's so easy for them to say right?)

I finally picked Sunsilk Perfect Straight because of two reasons-

1. The packaging.
2. I was intrigued by the claims this products made and wanted to see whether it'd work or not.

So I proudly marched up to my mom (as if I had won a medal or something) and I put the bottle in our cart.

The first date - 

The first time I decided to use the shampoo, I oiled my hair (it's a habit). Whenever I oil my hair, I wash it twice with the shampoo to get the oil out of my hair completely, which means I - 

1. Wet my hair 
2. Take a bit of the shampoo
3. Massage it into my scalp and the tips
4. Wash
5. Repeat

I read a post where someone said that this shampoo doesn't wash off oil and that is NOT the case. I was rather surprised with how nicely it washed off oil and that too with a small quantity. This shampoo lathers up pretty well and so a little goes a long way.

Coming to the main point -

Does it really straighten your hair?

I noticed a difference in the very first wash. My hair is wavy and I noticed that my hair was straighter not only when I stepped out of the shower but even after it dried. It would be foolish to expect poker straight hair which we can only get from rebonding, straightening hair with straightening irons or naturally being born with straight hair. 

The shampoo and conditioner made my hair SOFT!

It really tamed my sort of frizzy color-treated hair. 

PROS

• Cute packaging
• Sweet smell
• Makes hair SOFT!
• Tames frizz 
• Does straighten your hair to certain extent.

CONS

• Contains SLS (like most shampoos so it isn't much of a con)

Would I repurchase/recommend?

I would most definitely repurchase/recommend this product. It might not make my hair poker straight but it definitely does wonders for my hair. I'm absolutely loving the results of this shampoo whereas my brother is hating it because it is making his hair completely straight :D Haha!
