My experience
Shelf Life: 2 years
Packaging: The packaging is great. It comes with a pump and is very sleek. However, it is not travel friendly as the quantity is huge which makes the bottle bulky.
Plum is one of my favorite brands. I have and will continue to use their products. Forever!
When they came out with the hair care range, I was super excited. I bought the shampoo, conditioner and mask combo immediately.
The ingredients just intrigued me. I haven't come across any hair product that used these. And plus it claims to be free of all chemicals:
7-FREE! Good science for happy hair! Plum hair care is free of:
Sulphates - so the cleansing is gentle.
Silicones - to allow hair to breathe & shine at its natural best
Alcohol - so there's no drying
Parabens - we all know why!
Phthalates - potential reproductive toxins
Zinc - prolonged use of ZPT can irritate the scalp
Propylene Glycol - can be harsh to skin over the long term
I have major hair fall issues. My previous shampoo had also given me some dandruff issues and so I needed to switch. And what better than products that come from one of your favorite brands and is free off so many bad things that you couldn't even think of.
The shampoo is a light pinkish-red color that has an amazing smell. The look and smell of it just makes me happy instantly.
The conditioner is a light green color that smells good too. The consistency is extremely thick. So thick that it becomes difficult to dispense it through the dispenser. I have to take the cap off and remove it. It gets very irritating.
The hair mask has a white creamy texture that applies smoothly on the hair. It smells like the conditioner. The smell is good for a while but it starts to get very irritating after a point.
I generally oil my hair before every wash (I try to), and the shampoo removed all oil. My hair didn't feel greasy or oily. I did not have to use a lot of it. Just a normal quantity gave me those results.
But, it didn't make my hair soft, shiny, manageable or stop my hair fall.
Now, this shampoo comes with a note- "Important: If you are used to sulphates & silicones in your hair product, it could take a few uses with sulphate-free & silicone-free formulas for your hair to settle down to the new (friendlier) regime."
And so, I thought that it will just take more time to show its results.
But, I have been using this shampoo since almost a month and a half and I still don't see any change.
In fact, my scalp has become a little more flaky.
Similarly for the conditioner and hair mask as well. I didn't really enjoy any of these hair products that much. I did not feel that the claims were fulfilled in any way!
Just a whole lot of disappointment.
Would I recommend it?
You can try it out. But I don't recommend it.
Pros:
- Free of 7 chemicals that are harmful to you
- Amazing smell
- Cleans hair thoroughly
Cons:
- Doesn't give a soft or manageable effect
- No effect on hair fall
- Expensive
