I had high hopes!
When my epic amazing (header hair) Skinfood Argan Oil Silk hair products were empty I thought let's try out a new line of Argan products. I've heard great things about this line and saw that these were also tested by Get It Beauty and got high votes. So I shopped, used and now I "cry" ...do want to know why?

Under each picture of the product I'll give you the official information about the product, price, amount and link to where I've shopped the item. Then you will find a consistency picture with underneath the review of all products together. Then after that you'll find the shocking hair result!

Review
I'll keep it simple and short since they are really not "wow" products.
The shampoo cleans your hair just as any shampoo would do and strips you always from moisture from your hair and scalp. There for you always use a conditioner after. The conditioner is really useless. It's like you add something to your hair that does absolutely nothing. So first time I've only use the shampoo and conditioner and let it dry naturally. I looked like a sheep and my hair would stand up straight with just a little puff of wind. So next time I used the essence after it; 15% less sheep but still horrible. So the essence does really nothing for my hair only it reduces my frizz for 15%. It doesn't make it shine or make it bouncy & healthy. Then I thought let's try shampoo, conditioner, pack and essence. Well the pack feels very similar to the 3 minute miracle from Aussie which you can buy in every drugstore. This pack does maybe half of what the Aussie treatment achieves. My hair feels only a bit more heavy after this pack. Still frizzy and still way to lightweight in the wind (gives you that annoying single hair flying in your face-effect!). After I saw this also didn't work I tried the hair mist. The mist reduces your frizz the best for like 50% and doesn't leave your hair sticky or whatever. It's like your hair sucks it up all the way. But the 50% less frizz effect only last for less than two hours or even less when you step outside in the wind.
Conclusion
So after cleaning hair with shampoo(stripping moisture), You try bring back moisture etc with conditioner (that does nothing), then boost your 0% achieved "moisture bring back" up to 40% with the pack, then flat your remaining frizz for 15% and flat more frizz up to 50% (for less than 2 hours) with the mist. However only the mist seems to work better in combination with my other 2 hair care routines. It's easier for the mist to hold the frizz down since my hair has hardly any frizz when using those other products xD.
