It was at London Drugs when I discovered Revlon’s Outrageous line of shampoos and conditioners, won over by the black packaging (I’m a sucker for nice packaging) and a perfume-ish fragrance that lasted for as long as 7 days! (I wash my hair fairly often, but when I got lazy one time and didn’t step in the shower, I smelled my hair and the fragrance amazingly.. was still there! And strong, too!)
So what can I say about this [amazingly packed] product? Well, yeah, there’s the aforementioned (and praised) fragrance which I absolutely adore, and it’s a clear formula, (at least the Outrageous Two-In-One Volumizing for Fine/Limp Hair was, which I used) thanks to coloring agents (included in just about every single hair product you’ll ever find, with the exception of a few) which plays for the most part if you often find your scalp and/or skin irritated after washing your hair.
Outrageous is not really a very special line of products (actually, there is no product line that is special; believe it, pro-vitamin B5, which is panthenol in hair care terms can’t repair your ravaged, damaged hair, something that might be a unique conditioning ingredient isn’t necessarily or inherently better than an ordinary conditioning ingredient, like silicone, which makes up for almost 80% of hair care products, and is also included in the product I’m reviewing: Outrageous Two-In-One Volumizing for Fine/Limp Hair.)
This two-in-one, like all volumizing shampoos/conditioners/styling products (that work, anyway) contain film formers, which, like silicone, will easily/eventually build up on your hair, which is why you should alternate with another shampoo that doesn’t contain any conditioning ingredients or film formers, like Neutrogena’s Anti-Residue Shampoo, which easily can be found (and purchased) at the drugstore. Film formers gives a feeling of thickness (which can make a difference for every strand of your hair, provided you’ve spread it out evenly.)
Just as a warning, if your hair is excessively oily (like as soon as you step out of the shower, it feels oily for some reason; by the way, slightly oily roots is not to worry, it’s totally normal) do not use two-in-ones, however tired you are of cleansing and conditioning in two separate steps. (If your hair is oily and you don’t have dry ends though, a conditioner might be frivolous and contribute, especially if it has a lot of conditioning ingredients or plant oils to oil produce.)
