Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo 250ml

I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.TLDR: Perfect for coarse, (but not black nor caucasion) "ethnic" hair. Women with hair that falls between black and Caucasian hair on the spectrum of coarsness, porosity, etc. have been entirely ignored by the haircare industry for years and I've struggled like many of us finding products that aren't too stripping (most products) or not quite stripping enough (some black hair care brands).

I also have an autoimmune disorder so my whole body is inflamed and it dries out my hair and nails. I usually use Ouai thick hair shampoo and conditioner, followed by Olaplex No. 8 in the shower (wash out mask), put in a few pumps of Ouai hair oil and curl cream while it's still damp post-shower, and finish by letting my hair air dry naturally. When trying the Oribe Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner, I did the same routine but replaced the Ouai shampoo/conditioner with the Oribe Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner.Normally my hair takes many, many hours to dry (I live in FL so humidity doesn't help). It can easily take eight hours. I have no idea how, but after using Oribe shampoo/conditioner, my hair completely dried in about an hour, and was mostly dry within 30-45 minutes. I've never had it dry so fast in my life. And usually on wash day, my hair is the driest & frizziest-- not after using Oribe! I used less conditioner than normal and still, my hair dried without any of the usual frizz I normally deal with on wash day. Immediately post-wash, my hair looked like it does on that rare perfect hair day, in a fraction of the time and with much less product (conditioner, hair oil, and curl creme).

I recently tried out the Oribe Gold Lust Repair And Restore Shampoo, and I have to say, I'm in love. This shampoo is amazing. It's pricey, but it's worth it for the results it delivers. First of all, the scent is incredible. It has a luxurious, spa-like fragrance that lingers in my hair all day. And speaking of my hair, after using this shampoo, it felt incredibly soft, smooth, and shiny. My hair looked and felt healthier than it has in a long time. I also love that this shampoo is sulfate-free and gentle on my hair. It doesn't strip my hair of its natural oils or leave it feeling dry and brittle. Instead, it feels nourished and moisturized, without any greasiness or heaviness. This shampoo is especially great for those with damaged or color-treated hair. It helps ... MoreI recently tried out the Oribe Gold Lust Repair And Restore Shampoo, and I have to say, I'm in love. This shampoo is amazing.

It's a luxurious and effective shampoo that delivers amazing results. Yes, it's pricey, but if you're looking for a high-quality shampoo that will transform your hair, this is definitely worth the investment.

Immediately post-wash, my hair looked like it does on that rare perfect hair day, in a fraction of the time and with much less product (conditioner, hair oil, and curl creme). When I got this voxbox I was hoping that the Oribe shampoo and conditioner would be just alright, because they're so expensive, but no such luck-- I'm in love! Other pros: 1. The shampoo lathers up well, and cleanses thoroughly (leaving your scalp feeling super clean) with very little product. Normally, lather-producing shampoos are very stripping for coarse hair like mine, but this wasn't! Finding a shampoo that lathers up (because like many, I love that feeling when hair washing) but doesn't strip coarse hair is a welcome surprise. 2. The packaging is gorgeous. It was carefully wrapped and packaged to both protect the products in transit, and it was just a beautiful display, for a fun and luxurious-feeling unboxing. 3. The actual shampoo and conditioner bottles are very pretty. The boxes they come in feel high quality and look gorgeous with the gold inlay and high-end packaging material. The shampoo bottle in particular feels sturdy-- this is important, since dropping $53 shampoo and losing it down the drain if the bottle breaks would be heart-breaking! Now, the cons (of which there aren't many): 1. The price and quantity. The shampoo is $53 (250ml) and the conditioner is $56 (200ml). For comparison, Olaplex shampoo/conditioner are $30 each for 250ml, and Ouai shampoo/conditioner are $32 each for 300ml. So in addition to the high price, the quantity of product per bottle is on the low end, particularly the conditioner. Furthermore, since the conditioner is more expensive than the shampoo, the conditioner having 20% less product, too, seems a bit absurd. At $56, adding another 50ml to make them even (or heck, using a more standard product quantity, like 300ml) seems more than feasible, and that 50ml difference given the already-pretty small quantity per bottle seems kind of stingy. Notably, people with "ethnic" or non-caucasian hair, like mine, use far more conditioner than shampoo, so the higher price and lower quantity of conditioner per bottle (versus the shampoo) is the opposite of what women like me need. If the product weren't SO good, this alone would turn me off enough to potentially not buy it. 2. The conditioner bottle is soft (unlike the shampoo bottle) and the cap feels less well-made/sturdy. I'm concerned that if you dropped it in the shower, it would break easily. Conclusion: 1. Beautiful packaging/containers. 2. Shampoo lathers well without stripping. 3. Conditioner has plenty of slip. 4. Both products work amazingly for thick/coarse/"ethnic" hair (without stripping it or drying it out). Suggestion for Oribe-- create some sort of bundle deal with a larger conditioner bottle, but lower unit price, for us non-caucasion women who need to co-wash and use much more conditioner than shampoo! It could even have a smaller shampoo bottle to compensate for the larger conditioner. Oribe managed (maybe unintentionally) to create a perfect shampoo for hair like mine: hair on the spectrum between black and caucasion hair. Jewish and middle eastern women with hair like mine have an impossible time finding hair products that work at all, so recognizing this utility and creating a bundle that recognizes our hair's different needs (like how we wash with conditioner between shampoos, etc.) would make this line perfect and would earn Oribe my loyalty forlife.

Amazing Shampoo

I received this product in exchange for my honest review and I have to say that I loved it!! Let’s start saying that the package is beautiful, when I open the box and see the products, I was impressed. After giving my review of the product, I wanted to used a few times and now has been almost one month of using the Shampoo and Conditioner, and I’m loving the results. They smell super good, is not a strong scent, it is light and really makes you feel good about it. My hair was suffering a lot, it was not looking really good and now I have to say that it is really different, it brought life again to my hair. The Shampoo really cleans your hair and scalp, making you feeling that good sensation of cleansing , my hair was a lot more oily on the last couples months and ... MoreI received this product in exchange for my honest review and I have to say that I loved it!!

My hair was suffering a lot, it was not looking really good and now I have to say that it is really different, it brought life again to my hair. The Shampoo really cleans your hair and scalp, making you feeling that good sensation of cleansing , my hair was a lot more oily on the last couples months and now is not anymore, the Shampoo really helped removing the oil of my hair. I’m using the Shampoo with the Conditioner and I’m getting great results, is making my hair smoother, I can say that I noticed that my hair is not falling as much it was before using theses products, now my hair is shiny and softer. I also noticed that it helped with the split ends of my hair, they are looking better. The Conditioner has the same great scent as the Shampoo and it is really moisturized your hair. You can see the results from the first use with these products. I’m just using these products and nothing more and I can noticed a lot difference in my hair, and a good difference. I totally recommend the Shampoo and the Conditioner, they really worked together on my thin and wavy hair. They are worth it

But I kept using it. I know it takes a few weeks for your hair to get used to new shampoo. So I keep using it, my hair got greasy and more greasy every time I used it. I usually wash my hair about every 3-4 days. So when I had to wash everyday and my hair was so greasy and so itchy I just gave up on using it after 3 weeks. And when I kept waking up with hives on my lip I figured I should give it up.When coming on the Sephora website I was kinda shocked at the price. I wasn’t expecting it to be that expensive and being an okay product.

Good

I got samples of this and the Hair Alchemy-line and I much prefer the shampoo and conditioner from Gold Lust. Compared to Hair Alchemy, this one felt more hydrating and nourishing for my long dry, and brittle hair. I liked that this shampoo felt very concentrated as I didn't need to take much for it to lather on my second wash. My hair felt clean but not stripped and I could go my regular 3-4 days before needing to wash again. However, at this price point, I expect my hair to feel soft and somewhat detangled already from the shampoo. Comparing it to other professional high-end haircare brands, that are slightly less expensive, this felt quite mediocre in both feeling and result. I do think it's a good shampoo, and the samples did make me want to at least buy the ... MoreI got samples of this and the Hair Alchemy-line and I much prefer the shampoo and conditioner from Gold Lust.

I do think it's a good shampoo, and the samples did make me want to at least buy the travel size to test it out for longer. But there are brands that are slightly cheaper that deliver exact same or better results from my experience. I just didn't get that wow-feeling (from the two washdays that my sample lasted me) that I expected and wanted from Oribé to justify the price.

I alway have heard about how good this brand is and wanted to try out this product but than did want to take the risk of getting something so expensive but not like it, so I’m so happy to get selected as one of the person to try out this product duos. Before we start, I have curly wavy hair and is a big fan of repairing hair products at all time. . I just had my wash day yesterday and here is how I feel:During the shower:It is very foaming which means don’t put too much like I did and smells good but not too strong which is nice. I didn’t need a lot of product to cover all of my hair( I have shoulder length hair) but I put too much and I washed my scalp with my scalp massagers to make my scalp extra clean and relax. Easy to rinse out from my hair.After ... MoreI alway have heard about how good this brand is and wanted to try out this product but than did want to take the risk of getting something so expensive but not like it, so I’m so happy to get selected as one of the person to try out this product duos.

Luxurious shampoo experience!

(I received the product free for testing purposes)HAIR BACKGROUND: I have Asian hair - thick strands but more wavy / frizzy than the typical shiny straight Asian hair. I don’t usually style my hair on a day-to-day basis, and also air-dry my hair (it dries quickly). I wash my hair every day - I’m a big gym rat and my hair is drenched in sweat after every workout so I can’t afford to not wash my hair. I usually use the Kiehl’s shampoo and conditioner if I shower at the gym, but if I shower at home I just use whatever my fiancé has around and will usually skip conditioner (Head & Shoulders right now). I also recently picked up swimming, so some days I will shower twice. I’ve been using the Oribe shampoo and conditioner almost every day for over 3 weeks nowORIBE ... More(I received the product free for testing purposes)HAIR BACKGROUND: I have Asian hair - thick strands but more wavy / frizzy than the typical shiny straight Asian hair.

I also recently picked up swimming, so some days I will shower twice. I’ve been using the Oribe shampoo and conditioner almost every day for over 3 weeks nowORIBE EXPERIENCE: From the very first use, I was blown away; I legit audibly said, “WOW” the first time I lathered the shampoo into my scalp. The shampoo lathers into a luxuriously thick foam (whereas all other shampoos I’ve tried lather in a typical “loose” foam), and the scent is reminiscent of high-end Japanese skincare. After rinsing out the shampoo, I applied the conditioner from my ends to my scalp. It’s almost indescribable how immaculately the conditioner smoothed my hair - you’ll have to try it to be a believer.PACKAGING & INGREDIENTS: Just from the packaging, I was impressed with how nice and luxurious the Oribe shampoo and conditioner is! They look gorgeous sitting in my shower and really add to the aesthetic of my bathroom. I love the oils infused in the shampoo and conditioner. I find it helps moisturize my scalp and hair without making my hair look greasy.THE VERDICT: As I’m maturing, I’ve found that treating yourself to everyday luxuries brings so much more joy than I previously would have justified. The Oribe set is like buying yourself silk pillowcases or cashmere socks - it may seem frivolous but once you try it, it’s hard to go back to what you used before. Now I literally look forward to

Smells great, works great

I recieved Oribe Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner from Influenster for free in exchange for my honest review. I used both each wash (every few days) for 3 weeks before writing a review because I wanted to really get a feel for how it worked on my hair. Initially, the packaging is beautiful. It looks expensive, as it should, because it really is. After looking at the price I thought that there was no way that I'd purchase this on my own. My first impression of the products is that they smell absolutely amazing. So amazing that I went out and bought the fragrance that matches. As for results, they're noticeable. My hair felt extremely soft after the first wash, and each wash after I've been equally as impressed. My hair looks shinier, healthier, and visibly less ... MoreI recieved Oribe Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner from Influenster for free in exchange for my honest review.

It doesn't eliminate frizz entirely, but let's be realistic, no shampoo does. The shampoo doesn't lather like crazy, but it leaves your hair feeling very clean. While the price point is rather high, a little goes a long way. After using it for nearly a month I can now answer, will I buy Oribe Gold Lust Restore & Repair shampoo and conditioner in the future? Absolutely.

This smells amazing

Before I share my thoughts on this product here is some background info: I have very fine thin hair that does not like to hold any kind of style for more than an hour. I typically use Pantene’s Sheer Volume Shampoo and conditioner for my hair and it has been doing the job. Pantene has stopped making this exact kind and I have started trying different products to see what would work best for my hair.I received a sample size of this shampoo and conditioner with a big purchase of other hair care products. It looks really pretty coming out and smells amazing. It lathers up very nicely as well.The whole time I was working it into my hair I couldn’t stop thinking of where I had smelled this before and then it hit me.

This shampoo and conditioner smells very similar to the Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Italian Zest perfume which smells lemony and gives off a limoncello vibe which is a huge plus to me.Another pro of this shampoo and conditioner is that it is very light weight and doesn’t weigh down my hair which for someone like me is very important. Both rinse off well and don’t seem to leave any behind in my hair.Brushing my hair out afterwards was nice and easy. I would probably use this again but not consistently.
