Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo Review

  , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo Review

Hihi everyone, I hope all is well. Keracare was one of my favourite haircare brands last year and I really enjoyed getting to know the brand and discovering their products.

One of the products that came highly highly recommended by my hair stylists is the Hydrating detangling shampoo. This is part of the naturals textures line from the brand

What is it
A shampoo formulated to remove excess oils from the scalp without stripping the hair. It makes combing easier and leaves the hair moisturised.

Experience
I’ve been using this shampoo as part of my wash days for a few months now, started around summer 2024. It’s a thick shampoo but it lathers up really well and features the same scent as the other products in the line. I always wash my hair twice and with that I don’t find this shampoo stripping at all. It does well with cleansing the hair. Now that I’ve switched to washing my hair every 2 weeks, I still think it does a great job of removing the product build up. I’ve even done 3 washes and it didn’t strip my hair.

The shampoo does have some protein in it- hydrolysed wheat protein. It’s fine for my texture released hair. If you’re protein sensitive do some further reading/research.

Does it work?
I determine how hydrated my hair is with how many curls/coils I feel when I’m washing it or after washing . Whilst this shampoo is nice & hydrating, it’s definitely not the most hydrating shampoo I’ve ever used. Infact the shampoo I was using before this (Curlsmith essential moisture shampoo) left my coils more hydrated and clumped together than this one.

Is it detangling?- I don’t think that it leaves my hair any easier to comb through after shampooing. I don’t usually have tangled hair to begin with and I wash my hair in sections so I don’t really have an issue with tangles on a weekly basis. To test the shampoo, I did have one wash day where I refrained from my usual wash method. I washed my hair without any sections and I know this causes more tangles for my 4c hair. Using the shampoo didn’t make any difference to the amount of time or ease needed to detangle my hair compared to other shampoos.

Conclusions
This is one of Keracare’s more popular products but for me it’s not worth the hype.  It is  not a bad product, I like the shampoo but I just don’t think it’s worth the hype. I didn’t find any more detangling benefits than any other shampoo. I like that it suds up, I love that it cleanses the hair without stripping and absolutely love Keracare.
Will I recommend this shampoo? yes but I will highlight not to depend on it too much for it’s detangling properties. I prefer the cleansing cream from Keracare over this tbh. I have a full review here

PS I absolutely love that Keracare states the ph of their products and it’s numbered according to your wash day steps. E.g 1 for shampoo etc.

If you want to try this, it’s available from hair shops or Amazon.

catch you laterrrr

PS you guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of vids of people saying the hair shops sell fake products! Ermm what? because whilst Boots & superdrug have upped their offerings some products/brands are still not available so what do we do? is this true? The one product I’ve gotten recently from the hair shops is my African pride pre poo and it was fine but chile! I’m out of my edge booster edge control and amazon don’t sell them anymore so I have to get it at the shops! gosh

Packaging

I really love the vibrant blue packaging and squeezy tube delivery system. This makes the product really convenient and easy to travel with. It’s also super cute!

Application & Texture

I have to say, I absolutely love the texture of the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint. It is a gorgeous cooling gel texture that feels refreshing and bouncy. It melts and blends into my skin effortlessly and it’s really easy to achieve a seamless finish on the skin. There’s no cakiness, just juicy, hydrated skin.

Watch the video above to see how I applied it.

I have had lots of question about whether it feels sticky on the skin, and I’d say that if you touch your face, you can definitely feel it is a skincare formula. It has a very very slight hint of tackiness, but this does not bother me at all, especially when I look at the gorgeous glowy and flawless finish.

Longevity & Wear Test

I haven’t done a full day wear test yet, so I will update my thoughts on this very soon. However, I have been very impressed so far. Given that it’s a hydrating gel formula, it is impressively long wearing. I have combination skin, and used the lightest touch of setting powder, and it wore really well. I’ll share more info on this as soon as I can.

Stay tuned for more insights, but so far I am absolutely loving it!!
