Hello friends!
Hope you are well! It’s been quite a while since I’ve uploaded a blog post!
Today I wanted to share my experience using formulate.co, a custom shampoo and conditioner company!
Formulate reached out to me to collaborate and I was so excited! I have had such a hard time finding shampoo and conditioner that meets my needs – I have highlighted, blonde, curly hair that is prone to damage.
I filled out the quiz they send you! It asks for your hair color, concerns, what you would like to improve, etc.
I asked for curl definition more than anything! In addition, I wanted deep conditioning, split end prevention, hydration, and lengthening!
Within a few days I got an alert from my personal chemist, Tammy, who made my order to perfection.
As soon as my order arrived, I couldn’t wait to try it! I asked for the orange scent, which smelled heavenly!
Here is my ingredient list:
Shampoo:
- Coconut Derived Cleanser
- Caprylic Capric Triglyceride
- Argan Oil
- Sesame Seed Oil
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Avocado Oil
- Saw Palmetto
- Vitamin C
- Hemp Seed Oil

Conditioner:

- Avocado Oil
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Lactic Acid
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Jojoba Seed Oil
- Wheat Germ Oil
- Hemp Seed Oil
- Aloe Vera
- Broccoli Seed Oil
- Pumpkin Seed Oil
WOW! Jam-packed with amazing ingredients.
So… onto the results!
I asked for purple shampoo to help accentuate my blonde highlights. It worked SO WELL. My color has never been brighter and the brassiness just practically melted away.
Here’s a picture of my hair before and after using the shampoo:
Before!
After!
Notice how my blonde is much more prominent in the second picture!
I don’t have a picture with my hair curly, so I will try to get one soon!
Shortly after getting my order, my sisters and mom hopped on the bandwagon and got their own! They love how much it does for their hair. Here’s what they have to say about it…
Heather (mom): “This is perfect for hair that is frizzy, coarse, and curly. My hands didn’t get stuck in the knots of my hair! Definitely calmed down my frizziness at the roots. I was able to brush it straight for the first time in quite a while! Since I only use nontoxic ingredients, the scent was not overbearing and it makes my hair feel so clean!”
Olivia (sister): “I love Formulate! It makes my hair look healthy! My hair is not splitting as much as it used to! Split ends are becoming very rare for me now.”
Isabelle (sister): “It makes my hair smell clean! I love the scent on it (I got Cool Coconut). It leaves my hair feeling fresh and really volumizes my hair. It adds a level of gloss and softness! Thank you Formulate!”
I’ll admit, it will take your hair sometime to get used to the ingredients. It might feel heavy and greasy, but after a few days… WOW. You will not regret it.
It comes to $17.55 for an 8oz bottle, so double that it is $35.10 for your order! It auto-ships every 16 weeks (you can adjust this), so you never have to worry about running out!
