Quick Take: kind of pricey but worth it.
This duo is awesome. I've tried a lot of products and this one outshines them all. My hair is much tamer and softer since I've started using this product.

Quick Take: way over priced
No different than any other normal shampoo. Nothing special and certainly would not pay the over priced charge on this.

This is a repeat purchase. I love these products and only marked them down one star because I wish they were cheaper. I do recommend them though!

-01.02.13
Quick Take: amazing
"Holy molyI gotta tell you guys about the ridiculously expensive shampoo I just bought!" That was me tonight at work, raving about this product.
I have bad hair. I mean BAAAAAD. I destroyed it with metallic box dye and constant flat ironing. It was brassy and frizzy with mid-shaft breakage, 1" new growth at the crown, and dead straggly ends. It was finally getting so ugly, a coworker asked if I'd been sick or something because it's so flat she thought I was going bald. (NOT my favorite coworker.) Obviously that gave me a complex so I ran out and bought this shampoo (and a shower head filter from a home improvement store) praying I'd get what I paid for and maybe see some positive changes.
The bottles are tiny. I admit I initially had buyer's remorse because $10 is a lot for travel sized shampoo! I used the tiniest dollop and...it lathered up!! We have SUPER hard water in the Mohave Desert, so this immediately impressed me because I honestly have not had a rich shampoo lather for like 9 years. But here it was, rich and silky, and the tiny dollop went a long way. My hair felt clean but already it felt softer even before the conditioner. When I did use the conditioner (again, the tiniest drop because I'm cheap), it just kicked it up. I let it sit a few minutes, and when I rinsed, it felt clean and soft and silky!
The product claims "100% of women showed visible improvement in shine, texture, softness and manageability after just one use." I believe this absolutely .It's been about a week (I've shampooed 3 times), and for the first time in over a year, a customer told me I had pretty hair. Tonight, 2 coworkers told me it looked healthy and shiny. Yesterday a male coworker asked me if I dyed it because it looked dark and shiny. The tufts I used to have sticking up on top of my head are laying smoothly down for the most part. Did I mention it's shiny???
If you hate your hair and stare at other girl's long silky shiny hair with envy, then buy this. It's a miracle product. I stopped staring at everyone else's gorgeous hair and actually checked my own reflection out 3 times tonight just to see the improvement. It's that good.

Quick Take: shiny, silky, healthier
I wanted to try something new. I have heard this is excellent shampoo so I gave it a try.
I love it! Since I received it I have been washing my fine but thick and healthy hair with only this. Shiny, silky and even healthier hair!

Only okay
-12.17.12
My friend raves about this shampoo/conditioner so I decided to give it a try... it smells VERY nice and did make my hair shinier, but it didn't feel any softer. For $32 for a full-size, I expect the whole package. I will say this travel size pack is a good way to sample the product without paying $64.

So far so great
-12.04.12
Quick Take: expensive but hopefully worth it
I have only used this duo once and the results were pretty fantastic. I purchased the travel size, so I probably will only get one more use out of it. My thick, long, wavy hair (that I flat iron) looks bouncy, shiny and gorgeous. I don't wash my hair everyday, and I am on day three now, and it looks even better today. I realize that sometimes products start off great and then after several uses, start to not be so terrific. I am basing this review on my one time use. I will be thrilled if it is as great as time goes on.

The Worst Hair Products I've Ever Tried
-11.28.12
I have stick straight, color-treated, fine hair. If you have hair similar to mine, I would def not recommend this duo. The shampoo was thick and made my hair into a rat's nest. I thought the conditioner would at least help- but it would not even penetrate my hair! I ended up having to use a corrective hair oil to restore moisture to my hair so that I could even run a comb through it. I would have returned it but I ripped up my return label so I'm out of luck!

Perfect set
-11.10.12
Quick Take: delightful, smells great
Order this right away! The scent is so magical, almost ocean like without the annoying "blue" scent you often smell with Ocean type scents.
It makes your hair shiny, soft, and smooth. I really enjoyed this compared to their bamboo set.
I bought these in the 8oz sizes after trying the small set.

Pretty Good...
-11.08.12
Quick Take: moisturizing
First off, this is actually a super good deal on the travel duo...
The EXACT same sized shampoo and condition go for $11 bucks EACH at my local ULTA store, so $10 for BOTH is a straight up bargain!
As for the shampoo and conditioner itself - it's pretty darn good... NOT the best I've ever tried, but definitely worth a try, especially if you have dry or damaged hair...
It did make my hair feel soft and clean, full and thick, and smelled pretty good as well, but in NO way did my hair seem "younger looking," healthier or more manageable....
Love the small, travel size of the duo though - perfect for traveling or an overnight stay...
Good way to spend $10 bucks, but I'm not convinced that the larger sized bottles are worth the price...

Not for me!
-10.23.12
I'm glad I purchased the trial size first. I really wanted this to work for me. I have naturally coarse, wavy, thick hair that I have highlighted. The shampoo made my hair incredibly dry! Like straw! The conditioner helped but am not impressed with how much. I let my hair air dry after washing and what a mess! It's super puffy and frizzy, and I can hear it crunching in between my finger tips when I run my hand through it. I'm going back to living proof! Where the real moisture is!

Will definitely be buying the full size bottles soon. Love the way it makes my hair feel. I have really coarse hair and it made it smooth and stronger. I flat iron alot so my hair gets brittle on the ends and it helped with that as well. The scent is great too!!

Soft n silky
-10.19.12
This made my otherwise slightly wavy slightly straight hair soft silky and it seems to behave better when I straighten it.
I usually can get away with using it every other day, thank goodness because it is pricey
