Brand Review: Sanzi Beauty

Usually I'm pretty simple with my haircare and don't use a lot of products, so I rely heavily on shampoo and conditioner to provide me the benefits I'm looking for. My hair is long and fine, I color it for many years, but I have no complaints about my hair. It is shiny, healthy and pretty normal. However, once cold weather comes, which is practically all winter, my hair becomes a static-y mess. Mostly I try to avoid heavy moisturizing shampoos as they weigh down my hair too much leaving it flat and often greasy looking. When I came across Sanzi Beauty (link) products, I was intrigued to try  them, but I was unsure because of my previous experience with moisturizing shampoos. Yet I gave it a chance and I'm happy I did.

Sanzi Beauty offers hair care products, including Organic Moisture Shampoo* (link) and Organic Color-True Conditioner* (link) that I'm going to review today. The brand is free of sulfates, parabens, gluten, phthalates, silicone, artificial dye. The products are created with a minimum of 70% organic ingrdients as well as 11 amino acids. Sanzi Beauty is family owned and was created in 2008 by an award-winning master stylist.

The first thing I noticed upon opening the package was smell. It smelled nice, but pretty strong, which made me a bit concerned. However, once I got shampoo and conditioner to my shower and started using them, the scent was even nicer, but less noticeable. These products smell amazing! I can't name what exactly it reminds me of, but they do smell sweet like candies/fruits. The scent doesn't linger in the hair for too long, so both products can be used by both men and women.

Just like most shampoos Moisture Shampoo has a thinner consistency. A little goes a long way, so this tube will last me a while. The shampoo lathers up nicely, it feels comfortable in the hair and doesn't dry it out while being massaged in. It doesn't have any slippery feeling/texture either. It leaves my hair light, hydrated and very soft. The first time I used Moisture Shampoo I rinsed it out very quickly after working it in the hair as I wanted to avoid greasy looking hair. However, the shampoo doesn't weight down or flatten my hair no matter if I wash it out right away or if I massage my scalp a little longer leaving shampoo in the hair for a couple of minutes. My hair never looks greasy/unwashed and it stays fresh, so even next day I can wear my hair straight down.    

Color -True Conditioner is thicker in consistency. I don't need a lot of it, especially since I apply hair conditioners and masks only to the ends and halfway through my hair length, but I always use more than needed (bad habit that I never loose). I usually leave conditioner in my hair for up to a minute, sometimes a couple minutes and then rinse it out. It leaves hair silky, smooth, but not heavy. When I was testing Sanzi Beauty for the first time, I didn't apply any other hair products afterwards. Even next day my hair was beautiful and easy to brush. It didn't make my hair look heavy or greasy. 

Both products help me fight static in my hair. I've been using them a little over 2 weeks and my hair doesn't get all crazy and unruly while being outside or when wearing wool/cashmere sweaters and scarves. Like I mentioned before, I tried both products by themselves to see how they work, but mostly I add leave-in conditioner and some product to my ends after washing my hair. Sanzi Beauty doesn't leave my hair too silky or unnaturally/extra shiny, but it leaves my hair beautiful, managed and feeling light and the effect lasts for a few days. Moisture Shampoo and Color-True Conditioner also help to detangle my hair without weighing it down.
