Hi guys! It’s been a while since my last post, sorry for the inconsistency. Life, you know? Anyways, today I wanted to give my honest review on Function of Beauty. If you’ve never heard of it, Function of Beauty is a hair care subscription where you can customize your shampoo and conditioner to cater to your hair goals. I opted to buy the one-time shipping just to try out the product again. I tried Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner a few years ago, and wanted to try it again after a bad experience with drugstore shampoo/ conditioner. I figured, “why not?” it’ll be a perfect review for the blog!
It all starts at their website, https://www.functionofbeauty.com/. The website is very welcoming, hip, and modern. The colors used to decorate the webpages follow the cool and trendy vibe of the company. Then going to their hair quiz, they ask you to describe your hair by the following characteristics:
- Hair Type: straight, wavy, curly, coily
- Hair Structure: fine, medium, coarse
- Moisture: dry, normal, oily
Then you get to select up to 5 hair goals! This is the fun part because you can really customize what you want to gain from using their product.
After you select your hair goals, you get to choose any of their five scents ranging from lavender to eucalyptus, and the strength of the scent. Lastly, you get to customize the color of both the shampoo and conditioner, and add your name to the bottle. The color options they have are so cute and with your name printed directly on the bottle, they really make it seem like the shampoo and conditioner are just for you!
The Verdict
I ended up getting the blue shampoo and pink conditioner in the scent, nude peach. The box it comes in also has cute stickers that you can use to decorate the bottle. There is a stopper in both the shampoo and conditioner bottles so that there is no chance of product leaking out during shipping, which I thought was smart. The pumps are included in the box as well. Here’s how I decided to decorate my bottles!
The consistency of the shampoo is thick, which is good because then you don’t have to use as much when you wash. The conditioner is light, yet has more structure than cheap drugstore conditioner. Overall, a good combination in my eyes. After using using the shampoo and conditioner for a little more than two months, I can honestly say that I love it! The smell is great, and my hair is growing quickly. I also don’t have as much hair fall-out as I did with the drugstore shampoo and conditioners, which is great. For the amount of time that I’ve used these products, I barely made it through half the bottle! At about $50 for both bottles (with shipping to Hawaii), I’d say it’s worth it for a customized shampoo and conditioner made just for me.
Just a note, I do think that this product works best when used with other hair care products to strengthen the benefits that it provides. Like skincare, I believe that your hair deserves just as much care. I also use hair oils, do weekly scalp treatments, and do my best to remember to stimulate hair follicles by thoroughly massaging my scalp when I wash my hair. I like Function of Beauty, but if I can find a product that can do all of my haircare steps with less work – I’d buy that. But for now, I will use up the rest of the Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner that was customized for me.
Until next time!
