Giovanni Eco Chic Hair Care: Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating shampoo, conditioner and direct leave-in weightless moisture conditioner 250ml review

I came across the Giovanni brand on YouTube; following the beginning of my research I was really desperate to find a sulphate and paraben free shampoo. As soon as I found out about the effects of sulphate and parabens I quickly reviewed the ingredients in ALL the haircare products I had and to my horror I found that all my shampoos and conditioners contained sulphates!  So yes, the search was on to find a hair-friendly shampoo and conditioner, I was concerned with how much an organic shampoo and conditioner would be as I was so used to picking up mine from local superdrug! Listening to the reviews Giovanni quickly became my first choice and I began researching online where I could find it. I know that they sell it in Holland and Barrett’s now however, at the beginning of my journey they didn’t. Holland and Barrett currently sell Giovanni shampoo and conditioners for £7.99, they don’t however currently sell the tea tree triple threat shampoo and conditioner- which is a shame. In other news there are plenty of online shops that do! I bought mine on a site called skin nutrition. Which is a site for organic beauty products and natural skin care. They also sell 250ml Giovanni shampoos and conditioners for £7.99 however, they are currently having a 20% off special offer, which makes all the 3 products reviewing product £6.39 each (This offer has been on since I first purchased my Giovanni products in December 2013!- winning) Plus they have free postage on all UK orders over £10- amaaazing!

So before I review I need to let you guys know how long these products have lasted me! So I co-wash my hair every week and shampoo my hair once or twice a month. I also use the leave in conditioner about twice a week. I have had these three products since the end of December 2013 and they are only just finishing now!! Although I did from have a 2 month break from the products I think that is pretty amaze!

Pros: Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Shampoo, conditioner

• A small amount goes a long way: So when I first saw that it was £7.99 for a 250ml shampoo/conditioner I was shocked. The drugstore brands are usually 500ml and cheaper! So I started by not using a lot of product to save having to re-buy the products often! It worked wonders! It lathers very well and very quickly despite it having no sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate (winning again)
• The shampoo leaves my scalp feeling fresh and clean
• The tingly feeling from the tea tree-you can literally feel it working!
• It leaves my hair feeling quite soft and supple
• Great smell (if you like the smell of tea tree
•  Design  is simple and cool, it’s also a great shape and fits easily into bags.

Cons: Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Shampoo, conditioner:

•          Conditioner is not deep conditioning

Pros: direct leave-in weightless moisture conditioner:

• Very lightweight- doesn’t leave hair feeling greasy or weighed down as the title rightly suggests
• This product mixed/ sealed with an essential oil makes a great moisturiser for those with Afro-Caribbean hair
• With this product a little goes a long way too
• Great product to use for detangling as it provides a great slip
• Doesn't leave any white residue if used correctly (as in not putting on heaps)

Cons: direct leave-in weightless moisture conditioner:

•         It's not deep-conditioning

Overall I’m really impressed the 3 Giovanni products and would thoroughly recommend them! Obviously I am comparing it to my previous sulphate brands however I am yet to compare it to other organic brands. I will be trying out other natural hair care products and reviewing them very soon!
