Pureology cleansing conditioners [classic article]

When you’re traveling, whether in luxe style or camping, you want to save time on your hair care. You might not have good access to hot water, you might be exhausted, you might be busy! Cleansing conditioners have had buzz in the beauty world for a while now. But people want to know that an unusual product has a fine pedigree, to have confidence in using it. Pureology to the rescue! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.

Part of what makes a cleansing conditioner help save your hair color is you’re not using as much water to rinse. Water pulls color out. They have three varieties, similar to their full hair care lines. You can address frizziness, gain strength, re-hydrate. While you’ll have to go to the dollar store to get some plastic bottles for 3-1-1 carry-on travel bags, it’ll save space in the end — not having to carry a shampoo and conditioner.

Here’s what they say about it!

1. It’s the Gentler Way to Cleanse

Detergent shampoos can rough up hair’s cuticle, leading to stressed-out strands that are vulnerable to frizz and damage. Cleansing Conditioners keep the cuticle intact, so strands stay smooth, manageable and stress-free!

2. Superhero In the Fight Against Fade

Superchare your colour care regimen. A healthy cuticle helps prevent colour molecules from escaping, so colour stays where it belongs – not down the drain!

3. Creates that “Cool Girl” Look

Low-lather formula doesn’t strip away natural oils, so hair won’t end up too wispy, floaty or “squeaky clean”. You’ll have just the right amount of sheen and body (think day after a blowout!), with no buildup or residue.

4. You Don’t Have to Give Up Your Favorite Shampoo

Avoid over-cleansing by giving your shampoo the day off! Swap your favorite Pureology shampoo for Cleansing Condition 1-2 times a week. Super easy, super colour protection.

5. Anyone Can Use It (Yes, Really!)

Gentle and lightweight enough for every hair type! If you have fine hair, use once a week. If you have very coarse hair, condition afterward for the ultimate dose of moisture.
