I was in desperate need of some new shampoo and
conditioner and was devastated to find that boots had run out of my favourite
TRESemme Keratin Smooth shampoo and conditioner so I was on the hunt for
something new! The Charles Worthington range jumped out at me for the fact it
was on 3 for £12 so I buckled under the pressure and picked up the Moisture
Seal Shampoo and conditioner as well as the Strength and Repair Longer and
Stronger Hair Masque, I would have picked a matching range but unfortunately
boots yet again failed me and didn’t have a full rang. Here are my thoughts on
each.
Moisture Seal Shampoo and Conditioner
This was the sub-brand that really stood out to me it
looked summery and with a heat protecting conditioning complex and being
enriched with argan oil I was super excited to try these. The bottels say that
they give luscious moisturisation, intense nourishment and manageability
improvement.
First off I hate this packaging, OK it looks swish and
modern, but it is difficult to get the desired amount of product out without
some serious force! However if the product is great bad packaging is easily
ignored, I just am not feeling that both the shampoo and conditioner are
anything special. The shampoo doesn’t lather much (which does tend to indicate
that there is likely to be fewer, nasty chemicals in it) this does take some
getting used to, but it also means I tend to use more product than I normally
would to achieve the ‘clean’ feeling.
The scent isn’t anything to write home
about either, although light and pleasant it is not a smell that inspires you or
lingers on the hair making you feel gorgeous all day. As for the conditioner it does very little conditioning and I need a considerable amount of product to
achieve any form of conditioned, soft, light feeling. So overall both products do
keep my hair clean and as always I will be finishing them but will not
repurchase this particular brand from Charles Worthington. The Shampoo and
Conditioner retails for £5.99 (250ml) each.
Strength and Repair Longer and Stronger Hair Masque
The concept of this masque stood out which is why I
picked it, I really want long healthy hair and the promise of ‘enhanced strength of
damaged hair and increased resistance to damaged hair’ really appealed to help
my hair grow beautifully.
Over all this is a completely different story from the
mini review above as I love this packaging! The easy flip lid makes applying in
the shower so easy as there is no faffing with screw caps and getting water in
the product. The masque is thicker than others I have tried, but I did like
that as it felt like it all stayed put in my hair while letting it work it’s
magic. Once washing it off my hair does feel silky smooth, looked after and
light which is a nice pampering feeling. However due to the inadequacies of the
Conditioner mentioned above I have been using this every time I was my hair (2-3 times a week)
which does mean it runs out pretty quickly. The smell of the masque is slightly
nicer though still not super exciting , but it does linger slightly longer than
the others and just gives off a bit of a ‘clean’ scent. I do feel that my hair
has been stronger with fewer breakages since using this product.
The Hair Masque retails for £5.99 (160ml) and I would be
willing to pay that price for how it has worked. I would repurchase this masque
and I would like to try more from the Longer and Stronger line to see if that
range works better for my hair type.
I hope these mini (or not so mini) reviews have been
helpful!

Lovely review! I really like how honest you are, and that you don't sugarcoat your opinions. It is very helpful! I haven't tried any Charles Worthington products yet, but I think I'll look into the Hair Masque. Thanks! :)
