Clynol Colour & Care
Reflex Silver Shampoo and Restore Colour Conditioner
What Do I Think?
Clynol is a brand that is, I think, pretty underrated. They have some superb haircare products, and I'm a big fan of them - specifically the two I'm about to talk about. As a bottle blonde {ssh, don't tell anyone} I have to think about what products can provide the type of care my hair needs, not only in terms of replenishing moisture and restoring strength, but also in maintaining and brightening the colour - although I am aware that by colouring my hair I am doing some of the damage I am expecting my products to repair. Clynol products are developed with salon stylists in mind, and are therefore, in my mind, able to go that bit further in providing your hair with some much deserved VIP treatment. One of the key products a bottle blonde {or white/silver/grey} can use in helping to maintain brightness and fight away any dulling brassy tones, is a 'silver' shampoo - which is actually purple! The bright pigment helps to freshen and restore the colour, by purifying the tone whilst also helping to protect against damaging UV rays. I have to admit, despite using 'silver' shampoos previously, I was initially taken aback by the very bright purple colour of the Reflex Silver Shampoo, but it certainly makes for some funky coloured bubbles in the shower when you're using it. Speaking of bubbles, this lathers up really well, and you only need to use a little even on mid length hair like mine. It leaves my hair feeling very clean, which although is obviously the job you expect a shampoo to perform, isn't always going to be your main requirement from a specific treatment shampoo. I use this once a week on average, in conjunction with the Restore Colour Conditioner - which smells amazing, and leaves my hair so silky smooth I just want to sit and stroke it lovingly. Whilst it's effects might not be immediately noticeable, I can most definitely tell that this combo is working to help keep the brassy tones at bay, and my hair is definitely a lot brighter than it would normally be 1-2 months after a colour.
Where Are They Available?
Clynol products are available in selected salons, check the website for more information and to find your nearest stockist. You can also purchase Clynol products from hairsupermarket.com.
How Much Do They Cost?
The shampoo is 300ml and the conditioner is 250ml {both are also available in 1500ml}. Sadly, I can't find the exact products online and I'm reticent to put an incorrect price.
Would I Recommend Them?
Most definitely, yes. Even if you don't try/can't get your hands on these specific Clynol products, I would wholeheartedly recommend silver/purple shampoos to those with blonde, colour treated hair.

It's funny, I was going to comment on your hair over the weekend (but with the celebrations, got sidetracked) and was trying to remember when you last had your colour done, as I was thinking it still looked surprisingly good and NO brassiness, which I hate on my blonde bits. My recent highlights are a bit darker, so hopefully I won't have that problem at the moment but this review was very interesting. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Mum :) Good to know it is noticeable :) x
DeleteI love this shampoo, been using the silver shampoo for a couple of years now as it takes out all brasiness of my blonde highlights! When you need it next check out www.hairtrade.com (I use this site alot) as it has Clynol products but cheaper prices than other places. Here's the link to the silver shampoo - http://www.hairtrade.com/clynol-color-care-reflex-silver-shampoo-300ml-p-2081.html x
