Arbonne or Bust: FC5 SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, and BODYWASH

It's not a secret, I have a shit ton of hair. I always have. My hair is long, dark, thick, kinky, and wavy/curly. I dye it and fry it. I had the ombre, which I loved, but the bleach destroyed my hair. It doesn't help that I had to budget myself from buying all the Paul Mitchell products and just buy store brand shampoos and conditioners. My hair was crusty to say the least.

I decided I needed a change so I looked into "no-poo" which is a replacement for shampoo and conditioner that keeps the natural oils in your hair. It's a mix of lemon juice and baking soda. It sounded good on paper, until I found out that it isn't good for dyed hair. I don't plan on stopping from getting my hair dyed, I just do it less and don't use bleach. So, needless to say, I was searching for something to come my way. When I joined Arbonne, I found just that. They have a shower line called FC5 that contains shampoo, conditioner, and body wash  I couldn't wait to try it. As soon as it came in, I broke open the box as fast as I could and hopped in the shower.
Arbonne Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash

I opened up the shampoo, which smells so clean, and put it in my hair. It didn't foam up, but it created like a mask on my hair. It felt like it got more into my hair than just onto it. After washing it out, I put on the conditioner. I LOVED the conditioner. It really added so much moisture to my dried out hair. It really is the best my hair has ever felt. I let it sit in my hair as I used the bodywash. The bodywash wasn't harsh on my skin and it really made it feel smooth and fresh. I didn't feel like it stripped my skin of its natural nutrients.

When I got out and I dried off, I decided not to put any other products in my hair so that I could really know what my hair felt like without anything in it but Arbonne. I blew it out and then straightened it, and let me tell you, MY HAIR FEELS AMAZING! It is the best it has felt in so long. It smells so clean, and I totally don't need to add to the shampoo and conditioner with another product because it speaks for itself. I am now obsessed with Arbonne, and I will be an avid user for life. Why try anything else? It is that fantastic. I don't just say things just to say it either, I will be the first one to denounce anything if it doesn't work, but this does. I am so in love with my hair.
My REAL hair, super fab thanks to Arbonne!
