Sulfates are the ingredients in shampoos that make it lather! They're actually pretty stripping of moisture and oil of the actual hair strand, which is why it may feel "cleaner" after a shower, however they're not good for color-treated hair as it will strip the hair of the color! So Function of Beauty is sulfate-free hence "color-safe," in comparison to most Pantene formulations which usually aren't sulfate-free.
Sulfates are also the ingredients which wash away heavier ingredients like glycerin and silicones. Many girls are losing hair using the curly girl method.
@@ambergerhelper7852, i mean, thats questionable as you have to wash and brush your hair less, so when you actually brush it (and see the amout of hair loss), its going to be the amount of hair that you lose within a few days. So it May seem like a lot, but usually it is within the norm.
Sulfates can overperform i dont hate it but i use those types of shampoo when i put like wax or alot of hair products or if i feel like my hair is so dirty but still its not even that bad tbh except when your hair is dry which i cant relate
I don't think I'm willing to spend that much money on shampoo and conditioner so it's really good to know your thoughts about it. I trust you my beautiful Judy
Hey! I’m watching this video so late lol, but I just thought I’d mention that right now function of beauty are having a massive sale! I just bought a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask for £11 (I’m from the uk), I just clicked “subscribe” for all of them because that gives you so much off and you can cancel it instantly after. They are also currently doing free delivery :)
I think it’s completely normal to feel indecisive especially when it comes to more expensive products. Every time I buy something a bit more pricey, I find myself trying to justify if it’s worth it because it’s sucks when you use a mediocre product that gives you similar results to a product that can be half the price
Not sure if the online version works the same, but from the target version they sell I would guess they just have a range of base shampoos for different hair types and add different booster shots for specific hair concerns, so the "customization" would be pretty quick on their part.
I’m so happy to see a non sponsored video on this. I kept setting up an order but never checked out because I just don’t think it’s worth the price. I can’t justify spending that much money on shampoo and conditioner. I’m glad I didn’t buy it
Omg same I keep doing that too 😅 I pick all the stuff and then get to the end and see the price and can never actually bring myself to do it cuz it just seems unjustifiably expensive
$45 dollars for one bottle aaaaaaah that’s so pricey 😭😭 I had no clue FOB was so expensive. Thank you for this fantastic review, definitely extremely helpful! My scalp is a bit damaged and prone to dryness/sores, so I use Gaia baby shampoo, and I recommend it for anyone who suffers from scalp dryness/sensitivity.
To be fair if you’re buying decent hair products most cost that much however if you’re buying cheap stuff that’s not so great for your hair it will seem expensive
Hairloss is not necessarily due to poor health or nutrition. It could be due to irritation to scalp and follicles, and Im speaking from personal experience. I don't care if products are made from the most natural ingredients, if it irritates you, it irritates you. Plant based does not mean it's the best choice. Fun Fact: some of the chemotherapy drugs are made from plants. For my personal hairloss experience, i decided to try Kerastase, super expensive but within 1 month, hairloss stopped. That was how i found out my drug store shampoo and conditioner were irritating my scalp.
Thank you for your honest thoughts, Judy! I was lured in by sponsored influencer reviews, so I bought and tried the shampoo and conditoner and felt like my hair didn't change or improve at all. The customizing was fun, but def not worth it with the price and not seeing results. Also, what eyeshadow are you wearing in the final thoughts portion? It looks amazing on you! 💛
Love how you your editing is enhanced with each video Judy, that intro was aesthetically pleasing! And honestly I never thought only seeing Function of Beauty products in sponsored content until you mention it. I love their concept, their aesthetic, and the custom scent is just so up my alley. I had thought about purchasing it if the shipping fee to my country wasnt so expensive, even. So thank you for making this video and giving us your perspectives Judy!
I've been using fob for a couple of months now, I get the one at target and add the deep conditioning booster and I absolutely love the product for my hair.
thank you so much for this review!! I've been thinking about trying function of beauty for awhile since it's hard for me to find good products for my hair type, but the price has turned me off EVERY TIME. I'm honestly glad I've never wasted my money on it hearing how most people find it to be entirely mediocre. also - I'm inclined to believe that they do start off with a base that they simply add additional formulas into, based on the fact that my local target now sells fob products. you can buy a bottle of either a straight, wavy, curly, or coily 'base' shampoo/conditioner and up to three small vials of 'boosters' (anti frizz, replenishing, etc) to mix in.
Briogeo won't lather either, so you might not like it, but it's my favorite!! I usually get dandruff and itchy scalp with any drugstore shampoo, but not with briogeo.
I tried a different customized hair care which was the brand Prose. I definitely agree that it was strange how I received my products very fast even though it should be customized to me. It didn’t really make sense too how fast they shipped it out to me.
Thanks for the non sponsored review, Judy. My Target store carries Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner. You purchase a bottle and then select your customized ingredients. So essentially you buy a bottle of shampoo and then also purchase a small tablet size of product which you add to the shampoo and it is supposed to be the customization for dry hair or wavy hair, etc. I have tried Function of Beauty and had the same reaction as you. I like Briogeo but my current favorite is Ouai. The Ouai makes my hair feel soft!
I’ve gone through a hair journey the past 6 months from trying new shampoos and conditioners that ended up stripping my hair really badly. I just started using Briogeo and I absolutely love it! I have straight, medium thickness, and oily hair as well and would definitely recommend. I’m using the Superfoods duo and hair mask in the green set!
thank you so much for reviewing this!! i was actually thinking about getting it hoping the price would mean it’s quality is that high but i’m glad i watched this before!
All of the Raw sugar products I've tried made me never want to switch my products ever again, I love how I can find them at target, they are big bottles, lather pretty well, cruelty free, affordable, sulfate free and silicone free. I definitely recommend both their hair and body products if your looking for something new to try.
I’m from the US which will explain why it’s like 40 bucks cheaper!!! I saw online it was 47 dollars which to me is expensive!! But for what I’m assuming good quality shampoo and conditioner it’s not as bad as I thought consider most S+C are like are like $30 EACH!! Idk I still prefer trying to find cheap drugstore S+C but it is hard
I have similar hair concerns with you (hair loss? but also oily hair) and i use FOB interchangeably with Hask that is also sulphate free, since its so expensive, i also only buy it on sale and when i compare it with the Hask one it does help control oiliness, not too sure about helping with hair loss :/ my sister on the other hand loves FOB and she its the only shampoo she uses since she bought tried it last year, she was the one who recommended it to me actually Also shampoos that arent made with sulphates tend to not lather well so thats normal!!
If you had any recent weight loss, hormonal changes, or extreme stress that could factor in more hair loss. I had that experience with all 3 types of stressors at different times. If it's weight loss that will eventually get back to normal and you just need to eat a nutritional diet and your hair should stop falling off less. Hormonal and stress kind of go hand in hand, if you think it might be that, maybe consult with your doctor. For frizzy hair, I noticed that washing in warm water and doing a hair mask helped my asian course hair as well!
That's pretty funny cause FOB changed my hair and scalp for the better. My hair is less frizzy and doesn't get frizzy at all during the Miami heat, my scalp never itches when I condition it cause literally every conditioner I've tried makes me itchy, it feels lightweight and soft and I've seen a bit of more hair growth after probably 5 months of using it. I guess it just depends of what you pick on the quiz cause you gotta be 100% sure you're picking the right choices for your hair and picking the right goals that your hair needs.
Its crazy people just buy things because they see other people saying its good, i’d never trust anything until I can read the ingredients first and apparently they dont give you the ingredients until you buy, but you can buy shampoo + conditioner with the same ingredients for a lot less! Total scam
I tried fob twice; the first time it made my hair feel so gunky and dry so I thought it was because I chose the thickening or lengthening option (whichever one uses the horse shampoo). Still used it up tho cuz $$$. But then my second STILL made my roots feel so gunky even after making a totally different formula! Idk, I wasn’t impressed at all and was pretty disappointed that I spent so much money. I’d love to hear your thoughts on future shampoos you try!
Hey I just ordered my first set and I started watching your video about your thoughts. I wanted to know how often you wash your hair for the bottles to be able to last that long?
For frizzy hair, I would highly recommend Lush's H'Suan Wen Hua hair treatment - I'd been struggling with frizziness after bleaching my virgin hair. No regular product (drugstore or more expensive varieties) could fix my dry, wayward hair, until I started using Lush's H'Suan Wen Hua twice a month and just wash with regular drugstore shampoos. Plus, the latest formulation is vegan! #notsponsored
The frizz may be due to the way you shampoo and condition- if you tangle your hair up while washing, conditioning, or styling that can make hair frizzy. I get a lot of frizz too, but lately I've been more conscientious of the way I touch my hair and that's helped :)
We have the exact hair profile! I suffer from hair loss, my hair is thin and flat. So now, I take biotin vitamins (not the gummy bear ones) and collagen drink. I am also trying a Biotin shampoo from a GNC store and Ryo anti hairfall conditioner. The hairfall did not stop but it lessen now, and now I wish that I have a hair regrowth something (shampoo or any supplement).
I don’t know if this helps, and I don’t know if they have it in New Zealand but I use the live clean shampoo and conditioner and for me I’ve noticed that it has helped. I have frizzy hair too and it helped a lot. I also find that a hair mask helps. I use the one from NatureLab the perfect repair treatment mask and it’s colour safe. Both are cruelty free.
hey judy! i'd maybe watch out for how much hair is falling out because ive seen a lot of posts by other women saying FOB made their hair fall out like crazy and stopping the use of it instantly stopped how much hair was falling out for them. just something to look into if youre gonna continue using it
I found the Amika Kure line to be incredible!!! Much, much better than both the bottles of Function of Beauty that I had went through at different times of my life. If Amika isn't available in New Zeleand, then I also recommend the Briogeo Superfood Avocado shampoo and conditioner. I also have used the Banana one but it doesn't work that well for my hair type (fine, thick, curly), and I just ordered their new Mango Cherry balancing ones. And finally, if you can get your hands on Monday haircare, I highly recommend. They're affordable and have different types of shampoos and conditioners and I really enjoy the Smooth one for my frizzy hair.
Thanks for this great review!! You are the only one whose reviews I trust lol. Could you consider reviewing the new Colourpop cherry crush collection?🥺 I love all the makeup looks you come up with always❤
There is a video on youtube I saw years ago but it showed how they have a base formula for like conditioner and shampoo and then they add ingredients based on your goal. Most companies do have base ingredients then add special ingredients for special needs FOB difference is you choose your goals hence they can call it customized to your specific needs. The video mentioned shows how it literally took few minutes for product to be made.
And yes for your question about Pantene I've looked at their ingredients and they have a base that is similar but for volumizing would have different ingredients that are good for creating volume.
I don’t think there is anything really bad in Pantene (apart from not being cruelty-free). If your hair reacts well to it, it’s not really bad for you.
For me, screw the expensive brands except for the Olaplex Bond Smoother which I apply after every wash and a little most nights. I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week and it's very long. The best for me is the L'Oréal Elvive line except I think the orange bottles, Dreamlengths, are terrible. I double wash with H&S Clinical Strength shampoo then the Elvive Total Repair shampoo. Every 3rd or 4th wash, I then use the 8 second Wonder Water. The extreme repair and erasing balm conditioners are the best for me and very reasonably priced. I use a lot of conditioner for my long hair and can't imagine paying those high end prices, especially since they don't work as well.
Just bought some after trying many different generic shampoos I've run out of ideas no matter what my hair would be frizzy and flat I got this personalized shampoo in hopes it'd make a difference I'm waiting on the results when my hair dries. And I'm watching this video to see your experience with it. Smells amazing though ngl I got rose and lavender scented! I also got it sulfate free. Its crazy expensive though too even if it works I wish they had some kind of deal on them to make them cheaper I hope it's worth it! And I'll try to make it last a while.
I don't go through shampoo and conditioner fast because I only wash my hair 1-3x per week, so I'm fine with spending more on hair care. I like my Function of Beauty, I'm going through my 2nd set and the giant bottles have lasted me a year and I'm not done the bottle. It's basic and consistent and my hair stays in decent condition, so I may try something else soon.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I had this weird experience with the shampoo. I ordered a lilac colour shampoo which got black in 3 months, and I was shocked after seeing that because I felt like I have wasted my CAD 90 on a shampoo which I thought would be worth it. I’m not sure who else have experience the same. 😰😰
There's a NZ brand that does shampoo and conditioner bars called Ethique! Cruelty free and without plastic packaging! I have short, fine, but thick hair, and my partners thick asian short hair, we've been using the Ethique bars for a few years now! IMO they smell really good, not expensive, and theyre usually on sale at different stockists! I have short hair so not sure how long the product would last with medium-long hair but id say both me and partner go through one shampoo bar every 6-8 months. Worth a shot if youre looking for packaging plastic free cruelty free and local hair care! Theyre currently our preferred brand, the shampoo bar from lush is ok, but conditioner was terrible, same for BonBon Factorie (also nz brand make yummy body scrubs etc) until the Ethique bars I found it really hard to properly lather and rinse out the product.
I agree I tried it and Im in Australia and the price wasnt worth it and I dont mind spending money on hair care and buy salon products but function of beauty disnt give the results it promised
It might be that there is already premade product and they made it fancy by letting you "customize" I mean like when we got to normal supermarket there is shampoo for dry hair, oily scalp, damaged hair, coloured hair, anti hair lose etc etc etc. The only difference is the colour and scent is fixed. Who knows the only thing that they customizer for ya is the colour and scent and everything else is premade. I know she did say like there is alot of same ingredients, and what she meant is that the base product might be premade. But my thoughts are that the whole shampoo is premade like those in the supermarket just they give a custom scent and colour. That's pretty simple to customised if that's the case
I think that if you have straight hair it is not worth it because you can use like any shampoo and conditioner for people with curly hair can only use limited stuff so it’s helpful that you can customise the shampoo conditioner how you want it
As someone who has never tried function of beauty but has watched a very thoroughly done TH-cam video of its marketing tactics, I honestly don't think it is that customizable or that groundbreaking in its formula or ingredients. In the us, we have function of beauty in stores and even then the ingredients of the little customizable pods you can pop in your shampoo bottles are different than the ones they list on the website.. for some reason :/ I think their marketing is genius, and it is the OG create your own beauty product- but I'm not at all surprised
I’m like really late! But I honestly disagree with this. Curls in fact cause frizz mostly because they are dry. U can add shots of stuff inside of you shampoo and conditioner for 2 dollers just simply buy the original. They are about $10 each. This stuff works really well with my hair at least.
Try not to use heat on your hair totally if u use heat and die your hair it will be damaged. Try using your it with out doing harmful things to your hair. Also if u add how much u would spend monthly for normal other shampoos and conditioner its way more expensive so I think price os great . I dont think u gave it a fair shot in my opinion
Did your conditioner specifically smell like toothpaste?! I got the lavender scent for my shampoo and conditioner too when I tried it (I got sucked in to the hype too lol) and I normally loveeeeee lavender but the conditioner smelled exactly like toothpaste to me. Not the shampoo, the shampoo smelled great but the conditioner I couldn't use because it smelled so bad. And both gave me dandruff: I was trying to tackle an oily scalp and strengthening ends (I have thick, wavy hair, and I rarely get haircuts so I like to condition my long hair as much as possible) and yet it made my oily scalp worse AND gave me bad dandruff, literally had to get dandruff shampoo to make it go away. They gave me a refund at least but they also tried to blame it on me (I.e. I used the shampoo wrong or it was something I ate lol....sure function of beauty...sure) anyway I hated it. And wayyyyy overpriced. I got the smaller bottles and it was 60$ CAD and I'd rather just buy the luxury cruelty free stuff. I went back to redken and it's been great, but I wanna try briogeo or ouai next time I wanna try something new. I really liked the gisou honey shampoo. Super expensive but smelled amazing and felt really nourishing and smoothing for my hair, but it wasn't enough to make my oily scalp stay away so I went back to others. Might get it again just as a "treatment" shampoo when I want something gentle and smoothing though! anyway never trying function of beauty again everyone I know who's tried it doesn't like it. So glad to hear your thoughts though!
Thank you for the review, I was curious but didn't know about the price. Now I know I won't buy it. I can't justify paying 90$ for shampoo and conditioner. ❤️❤️
Lather dont do a single thing . also it's not healthy to wash your hair every day . so if u washed once a week you shampoo and conditioner would last longer . also washing your hair every day can make your hair friz
Why did you suggest only washing once a week. You only say once a week because its engraved into your brain from everyone else on social media saying to wash once a week only because its convenient. Someone washing their hair every day doesn't and shouldn't need to now skip 6 days of washing. what happened to skipping 1 day or 2 days, why specifically 6? All these infrequent hair washing cultists like yourself are giving bad advice online and you guys are just being dirty by letting oil, yeast, bacteria, dead skin, dust mites, and environmental pollution build up on your scalp for a whole week. This is the opposite of creating balance when it comes to having a clean fresh scalp and having a normal amount of sebum moisturise the scalp.
that is actually not correct information! it is 49.99 for shampoo AND conditioner. So its not $100. I think that's a big difference and not a fair presentation with the wrong price you just listed!
when i tell you i JUST bought it i mean it, im at the start of the vid currently but i literally wanna try it so bad aswell so i'll come back when i try it 🫣
Finally a non sponsored FOB review🙈but you're always honest, and the fact that you've actually used it makes me trust your opinion even more💕
💕💕 thank you for trusting me!
Unlike you I'm looking for a sponsored review cuz im tryna find a discount code man I have never seen such crazy shipping prices 💀💀

It actually gives you option of wheather you want sulfate free or not. Or at least it gave me that option when I signed up

Thanks for the review! I've been wanting to try this brand but it seems so expensive and always have sponsored reviews. Excited to watch!
i hope this will be helpful!! 💗
I don't think I'm willing to spend that much money on shampoo and conditioner so it's really good to know your thoughts about it. I trust you my beautiful Judy

if you choose the correct type of hair and the correct goals for what you actually need, it is beyond belief how good it is. it's so worth it

If you had any recent weight loss, hormonal changes, or extreme stress that could factor in more hair loss. I had that experience with all 3 types of stressors at different times.
If it's weight loss that will eventually get back to normal and you just need to eat a nutritional diet and your hair should stop falling off less.
Hormonal and stress kind of go hand in hand, if you think it might be that, maybe consult with your doctor.
For frizzy hair, I noticed that washing in warm water and doing a hair mask helped my asian course hair as well!
alomst everyone i know who's tried fob has thought it was mediocre! what's funny is that they sell non-customized versions at target in the US anyway
O.O did not know that!!
My daughter saved her money to get a set and said it didn’t seem all that special.
That's pretty funny cause FOB changed my hair and scalp for the better. My hair is less frizzy and doesn't get frizzy at all during the Miami heat, my scalp never itches when I condition it cause literally every conditioner I've tried makes me itchy, it feels lightweight and soft and I've seen a bit of more hair growth after probably 5 months of using it.

unrelated but that silvery eye look at the beginning looks stunning on you 🤍
thank you 💕
I have oily Asian hair also and using a clarifying shampoo once a week helped sooo much with the oily ness and any build up I had!!
Hi! What clarifying shampoo do you use?
I tried fob twice; the first time it made my hair feel so gunky and dry so I thought it was because I chose the thickening or lengthening option (whichever one uses the horse shampoo). Still used it up tho cuz $$$. But then my second STILL made my roots feel so gunky even after making a totally different formula! Idk, I wasn’t impressed at all and was pretty disappointed that I spent so much money. I’d love to hear your thoughts on future shampoos you try!
I have been looking into function of beauty is because they’re vegan and environmentally friendly which I care about a lot because it’s so important.
oh my god your nails are so beautiful!!
aww thank u!!
Hey I just ordered my first set and I started watching your video about your thoughts. I wanted to know how often you wash your hair for the bottles to be able to last that long?
For frizzy hair, I would highly recommend Lush's H'Suan Wen Hua hair treatment - I'd been struggling with frizziness after bleaching my virgin hair. No regular product (drugstore or more expensive varieties) could fix my dry, wayward hair, until I started using Lush's H'Suan Wen Hua twice a month and just wash with regular drugstore shampoos. Plus, the latest formulation is vegan! #notsponsored
The frizz may be due to the way you shampoo and condition- if you tangle your hair up while washing, conditioning, or styling that can make hair frizzy. I get a lot of frizz too, but lately I've been more conscientious of the way I touch my hair and that's helped :)
We have the exact hair profile! I suffer from hair loss, my hair is thin and flat. So now, I take biotin vitamins (not the gummy bear ones) and collagen drink. I am also trying a Biotin shampoo from a GNC store and Ryo anti hairfall conditioner. The hairfall did not stop but it lessen now, and now I wish that I have a hair regrowth something (shampoo or any supplement).
Try the brand HERS from JLO
I don’t know if this helps, and I don’t know if they have it in New Zealand but I use the live clean shampoo and conditioner and for me I’ve noticed that it has helped. I have frizzy hair too and it helped a lot. I also find that a hair mask helps. I use the one from NatureLab the perfect repair treatment mask and it’s colour safe. Both are cruelty free.
i will have to look into this, thank you for letting me know! 💕
Soo glad you reviewed this and it’s unsponsored! I was just thinking of function of beauty as my shampoo is running out
i’ve ordered this and it’s really good for my hair but it came in such a small amount, and in peoples videos it looks like much more.
hey judy! i'd maybe watch out for how much hair is falling out because ive seen a lot of posts by other women saying FOB made their hair fall out like crazy and stopping the use of it instantly stopped how much hair was falling out for them. just something to look into if youre gonna continue using it
OMG ok thank you for letting me know!
thanks for reviewing i been waiting to try it out but it’s pricey. it’s random but where did you get your tee from its cute
its from yesstyle!!
I found the Amika Kure line to be incredible!!! Much, much better than both the bottles of Function of Beauty that I had went through at different times of my life.
If Amika isn't available in New Zeleand, then I also recommend the Briogeo Superfood Avocado shampoo and conditioner. I also have used the Banana one but it doesn't work that well for my hair type (fine, thick, curly), and I just ordered their new Mango Cherry balancing ones.
And finally, if you can get your hands on Monday haircare, I highly recommend. They're affordable and have different types of shampoos and conditioners and I really enjoy the Smooth one for my frizzy hair.
judyyy what's the eyeshadow you're wearing in the first part of the video?? it's so pretty
thumper palette by colourpop!
I've nearly failed a class test just now but your notification made me smile 🥲
Thanks for this great review!! You are the only one whose reviews I trust lol. Could you consider reviewing the new Colourpop cherry crush collection?🥺 I love all the makeup looks you come up with always❤
im hoping to get it in PR!!
I looooved the intro and your hair looks soooooo pretty 🥰🥰🥰
aww thank you 💕
There is a video on youtube I saw years ago but it showed how they have a base formula for like conditioner and shampoo and then they add ingredients based on your goal. Most companies do have base ingredients then add special ingredients for special needs FOB difference is you choose your goals hence they can call it customized to your specific needs. The video mentioned shows how it literally took few minutes for product to be made.
And yes for your question about Pantene I've looked at their ingredients and they have a base that is similar but for volumizing would have different ingredients that are good for creating volume.
I don’t think there is anything really bad in Pantene (apart from not being cruelty-free). If your hair reacts well to it, it’s not really bad for you.
Thank you for your honest reviews!
I just bought myself a set and tried it the first time. It smells great, I got the rose fragrant. My hair is super oily, it feels great.
For me, screw the expensive brands except for the Olaplex Bond Smoother which I apply after every wash and a little most nights. I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week and it's very long. The best for me is the L'Oréal Elvive line except I think the orange bottles, Dreamlengths, are terrible. I double wash with H&S Clinical Strength shampoo then the Elvive Total Repair shampoo. Every 3rd or 4th wash, I then use the 8 second Wonder Water. The extreme repair and erasing balm conditioners are the best for me and very reasonably priced. I use a lot of conditioner for my long hair and can't imagine paying those high end prices, especially since they don't work as well.
Just bought some after trying many different generic shampoos I've run out of ideas no matter what my hair would be frizzy and flat I got this personalized shampoo in hopes it'd make a difference I'm waiting on the results when my hair dries. And I'm watching this video to see your experience with it. Smells amazing though ngl I got rose and lavender scented! I also got it sulfate free. Its crazy expensive though too even if it works I wish they had some kind of deal on them to make them cheaper I hope it's worth it! And I'll try to make it last a while.
I love your look! You look so pretty! 💜
I don't go through shampoo and conditioner fast because I only wash my hair 1-3x per week, so I'm fine with spending more on hair care.
I like my Function of Beauty, I'm going through my 2nd set and the giant bottles have lasted me a year and I'm not done the bottle. It's basic and consistent and my hair stays in decent condition, so I may try something else soon.
Thank you for answering all my questions, personally I just think shampoo shouldn't cost THAT much. It's going down the drain.
They have this machine that like takes all the individual ingredients and combines it into one bottle.
I used it once and it made my hair feel so stiff. Would not recommend for curly 3-a and onwards hair.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I had this weird experience with the shampoo. I ordered a lilac colour shampoo which got black in 3 months, and I was shocked after seeing that because I felt like I have wasted my CAD 90 on a shampoo which I thought would be worth it. I’m not sure who else have experience the same. 😰😰
You should try inecto, its quite affordable, vegan, natural, cruelty free and dosent smell to much so you dont like drone in scent!
90 nzd is about 63.22 usd btw you guys!!
There's a NZ brand that does shampoo and conditioner bars called Ethique! Cruelty free and without plastic packaging!
I have short, fine, but thick hair, and my partners thick asian short hair, we've been using the Ethique bars for a few years now!
IMO they smell really good, not expensive, and theyre usually on sale at different stockists!
I have short hair so not sure how long the product would last with medium-long hair but id say both me and partner go through one shampoo bar every 6-8 months. Worth a shot if youre looking for packaging plastic free cruelty free and local hair care!
Theyre currently our preferred brand, the shampoo bar from lush is ok, but conditioner was terrible, same for BonBon Factorie (also nz brand make yummy body scrubs etc) until the Ethique bars I found it really hard to properly lather and rinse out the product.
i'll add them to the list, i've seen the brand before! thank you for letting me know!!
For me mine hasn't even shipped yet. I ordered it around 6 days ago soooooo..............
Liquid shampoo is actually better for hair it’s less stripping but I have a tight curl pattern so idk if it’s good for straighter hair
I agree I tried it and Im in Australia and the price wasnt worth it and I dont mind spending money on hair care and buy salon products but function of beauty disnt give the results it promised
It might be that there is already premade product and they made it fancy by letting you "customize" I mean like when we got to normal supermarket there is shampoo for dry hair, oily scalp, damaged hair, coloured hair, anti hair lose etc etc etc. The only difference is the colour and scent is fixed. Who knows the only thing that they customizer for ya is the colour and scent and everything else is premade.
I know she did say like there is alot of same ingredients, and what she meant is that the base product might be premade. But my thoughts are that the whole shampoo is premade like those in the supermarket just they give a custom scent and colour. That's pretty simple to customised if that's the case
i want to say something but i cant because when i get the thing its cheap because my mom works at function of beauty :(
I think that if you have straight hair it is not worth it because you can use like any shampoo and conditioner for people with curly hair can only use limited stuff so it’s helpful that you can customise the shampoo conditioner how you want it
What was the tiktok shampoo list 👀
As someone who has never tried function of beauty but has watched a very thoroughly done TH-cam video of its marketing tactics, I honestly don't think it is that customizable or that groundbreaking in its formula or ingredients. In the us, we have function of beauty in stores and even then the ingredients of the little customizable pods you can pop in your shampoo bottles are different than the ones they list on the website.. for some reason :/
I think their marketing is genius, and it is the OG create your own beauty product- but I'm not at all surprised
th-cam.com/video/eN7S1OzXvd4/w-d-xo.html found the video
I live in nz I literally brought this like one night ago and my order is already in transit and I was like huh how
Is it like one-size or do you pick up how large they are?
How many oz in each bottle? Everyday use last a couple months?
I’m like really late! But I honestly disagree with this. Curls in fact cause frizz mostly because they are dry. U can add shots of stuff inside of you shampoo and conditioner for 2 dollers just simply buy the original. They are about $10 each. This stuff works really well with my hair at least.
Why does it sound like her accent switch, from the first clip compare to the second scent
Woah $89 for TWO hair products?! Oh hell no! But as always, thank you for your honest opinion!
its 51$ now. at least for me
Try not to use heat on your hair totally if u use heat and die your hair it will be damaged. Try using your it with out doing harmful things to your hair. Also if u add how much u would spend monthly for normal other shampoos and conditioner its way more expensive so I think price os great . I dont think u gave it a fair shot in my opinion
Are you from
Australia
Did your conditioner specifically smell like toothpaste?! I got the lavender scent for my shampoo and conditioner too when I tried it (I got sucked in to the hype too lol) and I normally loveeeeee lavender but the conditioner smelled exactly like toothpaste to me. Not the shampoo, the shampoo smelled great but the conditioner I couldn't use because it smelled so bad. And both gave me dandruff: I was trying to tackle an oily scalp and strengthening ends (I have thick, wavy hair, and I rarely get haircuts so I like to condition my long hair as much as possible) and yet it made my oily scalp worse AND gave me bad dandruff, literally had to get dandruff shampoo to make it go away. They gave me a refund at least but they also tried to blame it on me (I.e. I used the shampoo wrong or it was something I ate lol....sure function of beauty...sure) anyway I hated it. And wayyyyy overpriced. I got the smaller bottles and it was 60$ CAD and I'd rather just buy the luxury cruelty free stuff. I went back to redken and it's been great, but I wanna try briogeo or ouai next time I wanna try something new. I really liked the gisou honey shampoo. Super expensive but smelled amazing and felt really nourishing and smoothing for my hair, but it wasn't enough to make my oily scalp stay away so I went back to others. Might get it again just as a "treatment" shampoo when I want something gentle and smoothing though! anyway never trying function of beauty again everyone I know who's tried it doesn't like it. So glad to hear your thoughts though!
Try "no remorse" spray by "better, not younger". I am the queen of frizz and it WORKS!
Thank you for the review, I was curious but didn't know about the price. Now I know I won't buy it. I can't justify paying 90$ for shampoo and conditioner. ❤️❤️
I wanted to like it but it made my hair even more dry! 😪
as soon as i heard New Zeland I was like YESSSS
Take biotin for your hair..I exactly ordered my own shampoo from function of beauty...and the hair dyes from the stores are very bad for your hair
Lather dont do a single thing . also it's not healthy to wash your hair every day . so if u washed once a week you shampoo and conditioner would last longer . also washing your hair every day can make your hair friz
Why did you suggest only washing once a week. You only say once a week because its engraved into your brain from everyone else on social media saying to wash once a week only because its convenient. Someone washing their hair every day doesn't and shouldn't need to now skip 6 days of washing. what happened to skipping 1 day or 2 days, why specifically 6? All these infrequent hair washing cultists like yourself are giving bad advice online and you guys are just being dirty by letting oil, yeast, bacteria, dead skin, dust mites, and environmental pollution build up on your scalp for a whole week. This is the opposite of creating balance when it comes to having a clean fresh scalp and having a normal amount of sebum moisturise the scalp.
Ahaha, when you mentioned that your boyfriend was using it without telling you I was like "Noo!!" 😂.
hi tubby 🐱
I tried it for a couple months and honestly saw NO difference in my hair. Waste of money in my opinion. The OGX or Briogeo brand are awesome though.
will give them a go!
Do you feel stressful days a lot ? Hair loss is the sign of it …
yes i do! but i think there are other causes that come into play!
that is actually not correct information! it is 49.99 for shampoo AND conditioner. So its not $100. I think that's a big difference and not a fair presentation with the wrong price you just listed!
This video was done a year ago. The price was probably different then.
She stated it’s New Zealand dollar so it’s not USD.
im guessing you don't know about different currencies in different countries
covid quarantine can also be a reason for hair falling because the lack of vitamin D!!!
I live in the united states so I won’t have to pay $89
Okay so if them videos are old why you got the same nails on? Thats a little weird -_-
Please don’t trust random girls on TikTok.
😬😬😬
This is sponsored but whatever.
i purchased this with my own money and have never been affiliated with function of beauty so this video is not sponsored in any way!
