CHRISTOPHE ROBIN VOLUMISING PASTE #TBT REVIEW

This post dates back to October 2018 and I still use this product today.

Having never previously heard of this brand, my introduction came via

a travel size in a curated Beauty Box from Skins Cosmetics Sandton 

(they have now opened 2 more stores in Menlyn and V&A Shopping centres).

I did go onto buy the full size of the Volumising paste along with the

 Volumising Shampoo and Volumising Conditioner and loved them both.

No I haven't written a review on Christopher Robin, read again it's

 Christophe Robin 

and I'm sure like "moi" you're wondering who the heck he is.

French man Christophe Robin, has been an A-list colorist for more than 20 years, created in 1999 his hair care line selecting powerful natural ingredients for recognized long term results. Christophe Robin, the self named haircare range 

has been developed through years of experience and passion and has 

been specially formulated to care and protect colour treated hair.

 

I was a little sceptical to say the least about this rather obscure (obscure to me)
 unusually named hair cleansing product.
Christophe Robin Volumising Paste with Pure Rassoul Clay
and Rose Extracts 
is a deep cleansing treatment for fine hair lacking in density, which
is exactly how I would currently describe my hair.
It also has a rather unusual appearance, as it looks like more
an exfoliator or body scrub.

 This unique clay-to-foam shampoo is formulated to help create beautiful 

volume while absorbing impurities and oil from the scalp and
 give instant volume at the roots and density down the lengths.

Consisting of 85% natural origin ingredients this formula is a unique blend 
of pure Rassoul Clay, with densifying and re-mineralizing benefits, 
protective rose extracts and Limnanthes extract to help preserve and 
enhance the hair color.

This surprising paste-like texture transformed instantly into a light foam,
and its transformation was pure magic, as I was expecting to seriously work 
this product into my hair and scalp to have any foaming, cleansing effect.
Despite not looking too great in the pot the product has a slight rose fragrance
and more importantly for me, was easy to rinse.

I didn't do my normal double shampoo, as my hair and scalp felt cleaner

 than its ever felt before just after one application.
It was easy to rinse despite using too much and having mountains of
foam on my head and it certainly didn't add to my dreaded tangle situation
due to my hair being both long, fine and highlighted.

How To Use:

On wet hair: use a tablespoon worth of product 

(more or less, depending on the length of your hair)

 rub into your palms, and apply all over your hair. 
(As I found out on my first use, use much less than recommended)
With a delicate touch, make circular motions until you feel the paste turn to foam, 
and make sure you lift the roots. 

Add a little water, emulsify, and rinse well.

 
For an intensified effect: let it sit for 2 minutes before you rinse. 
(which I did)

PARABEN/SILICONE/SLES 

This product surprised me on so many different levels, its name, its appearance, 
the way the consistency completely transformed once applied to the hair and
the volumising results it gave down to the delicate fragrance it left
in my hair.
I was utterly blown away with this product and if you read my product 

reviews regularly, you will know that it takes an outstanding product 

to make me use the term "blown away".

After using twice in the past week my hair felt soft, thicker and incredibly clean. 
I was also able to go longer between washes, which is a Win Win situation.
 I was so impressed that it's on my overseas shopping list. 

Please let me know in the comments below if you have used this product 

before or the Volumising Shampoo, as I tempted to buy both.
