What would make this holiday season even better? More giveaways! Actually, a Formulate giveaway to be exact. I mean, I can get down with any giveaway, but this one is not to be missed. Formulate is a new, personalized shampoo and conditioner product that launch this past summer. I was lucky enough to be one of the first to participate in their amazing process of formulating personalized hair care, all catering to what your hair needs. Instead of shopping the wall of random products at the drug store or beauty salon, Formulate will give you a preservative, paraben, sulfate and cruelty free product that tackles issues personal to you. Can I say personal or personalized one more time? Personalized.
Anyway… you lucky readers get a chance to grab a set of shampoo and conditioner completely free! More details about my experience with Formulate are below AND you’ll find the giveaway link at the bottom of this post. I’m telling you… don’t miss this chance!
The Process
What is the process?
In order to receive a personalized Formulate set, you’ll visit their website, read all about their promise and purpose (optional, but recommended), click “buy now” and launch the questionnaire leading to your personalized shampoo and conditioner.
Is it easy?
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised at how user-friendly the Formulate website is. The questionnaire takes minutes and all the questions are easy to read and easy to answer. Plus, the site is just awesome-ly fun. I appreciate good branding, and Formulate nailed it.
The Product
Did you notice a change immediately?
No. Well, actually this is a tricky one to answer. My first formula turned out to be wrong for my hair. Not sure exactly what went wrong, but it was leaving a residue in my hair that I couldn’t handle. The good news about this is, the Formulate team absolutely rocks and completely re-formulated for me based on my feedback. It’s part of their promise to be real and to listen – no really, check it out! They sent new bottles with an amended formula and I was almost immediately satisfied. I say almost because they recommend at least 5 washes to truly see a difference. I would say after about 3 washes, I started seeing improvement.
What exactly improved?
I don’t typically blow dry my hair, so I wash it at night and let it air dry before bed. I noticed my hair being more manageable after air drying almost immediately. The ends looked cleaner instead of frayed and dried. I had less fly-aways and it was easily styled the next morning. I also noticed it felt thicker after a few washes – the curl stayed longer and overall looked and felt healthier. Beyond that, it’s hard to describe exactly what felt different because I’m not a hair genius, but I do know I’ve been happier with styling and people have even commented, saying things like “your hair looks longer!” or “your hair looks different – what changed?”. And that’s enough to convince me that Formulate works.
