Hair Love: Theorie Grapefruit Shampoo & Con


OK, I've got one more from the list of Theorie products I've tried and adored.  And with this one... I really hit the mother lode!  I'm going to totally do away with the verbal pomp and circumstance (you guys already know that I'm head over heels for just about everything Theorie) and get right to the nitty-gritty.  Seduced by the duo's resume, I indulged - once again - and procured a bottle of their Grapefruit Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner.  And - once again - I'm in L-O-V-E! 


Grapefruit Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner are a superhero twosome designed to fight the damaging effects of free radicals on normal to chemically-treated hair while imparting softness, moisture and incredible shine.  Armed with the antioxidant powers of grapefruit extract as well as Gingko biloba leaf extract and grapeseed oil, the rich conditioner plays the perfect foil to the gentle cleansing - but equally emollient - shampoo; working in tandem, they deftly hydrate strands without leaving them feeling or looking overwhelmed and flat.  Did I also mention that they're paraben- and sulfate-free?  Yep.  Oh, and they come equipped with pumps.  Yeah, so there's that, too...   








At the risk of sounding redundant, I have to tell you that I am deeply smitten with this shampoo/conditioner combo.  Oddly enough, despite its moniker, I didn't find either to really smell like grapefruit.  Now that's not a complaint at all, just an observation.  The fragrance, however, is quite pleasant, not at all heavy and dissipates quickly.  Since I began using the Grapefruit Revitalizing duo, I have NOT - I repeat - HAVE NOT had ONE BAD HAIR DAY!  Not one!  My hair feels nourished, soft and has brilliant shine!  Between Theorie's Grapefruit and their Argan Oil line, I prefer Grapefruit because I feel that my hair is a little lighter... that the Argan oil made my hair feel just slightly more subdued.  Both are great, but I feel that Grapefruit better suits my hair. 

Well, there you have it!  I have completely bought in and completely sold out for Grapefruit!  I'm not letting anything else touch my tresses and will not deviate from this haircare line.  It is no exaggeration when I tell you that Theorie has some of the best products I've ever tried!  My search is O-VA, my curiosity sated!  I don't have to and will not look any further; I've found THE one(s).  And it feels soooo good! #WINNING!

Theorie Grapefruit Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner are available at yourtheorie(.)com and retail for $26 each (13.5 fl. oz.) or $36 each (28.6 fl. oz.).

  1. I don't know if I have asked you this before, but are you relaxed bone straight or texlaxed? :)

  2. Thanks! I'm texlaxed with a fair amount of texture. Currently torture as I'm 18 weeks post relaxer (I'm pregnant and want to minimize the # of relaxers I'm getting during pregnancy). I normally relax every 12 weeks with Affirm mild (lye relaxer). Remember to consider what I said about doing youtube videos, your hair is super duper fabulous!

    1. You're pregnant? CONGRATS!! I use a "no-lye" relaxer, but heard that Affirm was pretty good (my sister's hairdresser used to use it on her hair before she went natural). How do you deal with the new growth - are you wearing your hair in protective styles now?

      Thanks for the compliment! And, yes, I'm still thinking about/debating the whole YouTube thing... ;0)

  3. I've never heard of this brand of hair products, but it looks like something right up my alley. How long do you leave the conditioner on for?

    Your hair looks beautiful. How often do you relax your hair?

    1. Hi, vbwesley19! I leave the conditioner on for just a few minutes, maybe 3 or 4. Not very long. Also, I relax my hair about every 10 weeks. I try not to go longer than that to avoid dryness and breakage.

      Thanks for the compliment! And thanks so much for reading! ;0)
