Aveeno's Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo and Conditioner

I recently received a sample of Aveeno's new Nourish+Moisturize line in the mail, so I decided to take it for a spin. So that you know where my opinions are coming from, I have absolutely thick hair and its pretty dry, seems no matter what I try my hair is still somewhat frizzy and dry.

So the search for the perfect hair product continues...

I jumped in the shower and might I suggest opening sample packets while your hands are dry.. although comical, its not always effective. But once I got the packet opened, I was wowed by this amazing smell! Its a little fruity, but with an undertone of a wheat like earthy smell, I am not really sure how to explain it but it definitely had a very "natural" smell. It was intoxicating!

I began to rub the shampoo into my  thick hair (which is cut short) and the one thing I noticed right off is that the shampoo is a little more runny than I normally like. Also there is never enough in one of those little packets! For my super thick hair I usually need a double dose of a thick shampoo, and this one is fairly runny. But I got it into my hair. If you are looking for the luxurious frothing of shampoo on your head - I am not sure this is the shampoo for you. I couldn't get the bubbles to suds up the way the thicker shampoos do, and when I washed it out it felt clean but not any softer at all.

Then came the conditioner. After a little more packet fumbling, the conditioner has a super creamy consistency - completely the opposite of the shampoo - and when I put it on my hair I didn't get that automatically soft like most conditioners give you. At this point I am thinking 'what a waste´ - and then I rinsed. It was like silk all of a sudden! When I had lost all hope, the conditioner saved the day!

I did not blowdry my hair post use, since any cooling I can get in the 95+ Texas heat is welcomed - so no blowdryer tests were done, but after drying and using a smoothing serum (different brand) on top
 my hair did dry without any curls so that is a bonus for Aveeno!

Husband's touch test : PASSED - he loves how silky it feels

Went outside in the heat and played with my daughter for about 2 hours, lots of sweat and ponytail (albeit a small one) came in and took hair down - still silky soft.

This shampoo and conditioner seem to hold up to a very active lifestyle, I do wish it was a little more anti-frizz however I don't think it matters that much I would still add this to my haircare regimen.
