It's always been a struggle finding and particularly settling for just one shampoo. My fine tresses are rather demanding – add oily roots with dry, frizz-prone ends to the mix and you'll get the ultimate combo that'll infuriate you from time to time (most of the time). I've tried everything from the excruciatingly stripping Wash&Go (sometimes the last resort), some light yet non-stripping ones such as the L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light Shine shampoo, to those who actually gave me decent results but I need to alternate them because my hair is the perfect example of how that theory in which hair adapts to certain shampoos quickly – is shockingly true. I've been rather satisfied with the Alkmene Beer shampoo and the Tocco Magico Kur ones (Cashmire and Cotton both). The Redken Cream Cleansing shampoo shall be replaced with something new in the future because I'm not enamoured by it but, but, but – I have found (dare I say) probably the best match for my hair, so far? Of course, as faith wants it, it's not an affordable alternative but it actually makes a difference! I'm not going to say that this shampoo has changed my hair from the roots but it has made a visible difference regarding the volume and the thickness appeal. Kérastase Resistance Bain Volumifique 250ml (£14.90 via feelunique.com) is the only shampoo I'll be willing to repurchase regardless of its price – I'll reveal why shortly! Let's just say that I've used approx 2/3 of this 250ml bottle within 2 months (I have been alternating it with another shampoo, though). That's one reason to love it already.
Oduvijek mi je bio problem pronaci a pogotovo skrasiti se sa samo jednim samponom za kosu. Moja kosa je dosta tanka i prilicno zahtjevna – na to dodajte masno tjeme i isusene krajeve sklone naelektrisanju, dobiti cete kombinaciju koja za cas posla izbacuje iz cipela. Isprobala sam sve od (kako ga volim zvati, Fairy-ja za kosu) Wash&Go sampona koji blago receno isusuje kosu, potom sam isprobala laganiju formulaciju poput L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light Shine sampona da bih dosla do njih par koji su pruzali zadovoljavajuce rezultate. Ipak, i njih imam potrebu da koristim naizmjenicno sa necim posebno prociscujucim posto je moja kosa savrsen primjer da mit o kosi koja se brzo zasiti odredjenog sampona – pak nije mit, vec (mozda pomalo sokantna) stvarnost. Do sada sam bila zadovoljna sa Alkmene samponom sa pivom i oba Tocco Magico sampona (sa kasmirom i pamukom). Redken Cream Cleansing sampon ce u buducnosti biti zamijenjen drugim proizvodom slicne namjene iz razloga sto me nije dojmio. Doduse, bila bi nepravda reci da je najgori sampon koji sam isprobala no nije vrijedan posebnog spomena. Sada ne znam da li bih se usudila napisati da sam pronasla sampon koji nevjerovatno prija mojoj kosi? Naravno, kako je sudbina zeljela, ne radi se o nekom otkricu pristupacne cijene ali zaista osjetim i vidim razliku kada ga koristim! Necu reci da je iz korijena izmijenio moju kosu ali je od korijena do krajeva ucinio guscom i sada ima vise volumena. Kérastase Resistance Bain Volumifique 250ml cca 40KM preko feelunique.com) je jedini sampon ove vrste koji bih bila spremna ponovo kupiti bez obzira na cijenu – zasto? Procitati cete u nastavku. Recimo za pocetak da sam tokom 2 mjeseca koristenja potrosila 2/3 bocice od 250ml (ali imajte na umu da sam ga koristila naizmjenicno sa jos jednim samponom).
Packaging-wise, I mean really – it's a Kérastase product, there's no other route to go than the gorgeous route! I mean, there's no actual science behind the packaging and it basically is a minty plastic bottle but it somehow does stand out in my bathroom. It's functional, the cap is a bit clunky but the opening is perfect in combo with the texture of the shampoo. The Kérastase Resistance range usually features products that strengthen and revitalise weakened hair while the Volumifique add-on means that these are additionally geared towards providing extra volume. The shampoo in this case is of pearlescent white coloring, rather creamy texture and it features a fruity scent (maybe a bit reminiscent of Fructis Garnier shampoos). It doesn't seem special at first inspection but from the first use you can tell that it definitely is. First off, you don't need much – just a small blob per shampooing. In case my hair is extremely greasy, I'll use a cheap shampoo to de-grease and save the Kérastase shampoo for next two lathers (I usually need to lather twice or sometimes three times total as my hair is long and really greasy). The creamy formulation isn't drying at all and the shampoo is gentle towards the hair whilst doing its job properly. While in the shower I can always feel that my mop seems to pouff-up under my fingers while I rinse it. The fruity scent isn't too strong but I do catch a light whiff a day after using it. When I blow dry (or air dry) my hair, I instantly notice that throughout my entire length hair is thicker. From the roots to the ends, I feel like I have more hair and more movement. It stays that way for at least two days and then I need some help of dry shampoo and often a hair band on the third day. I can sometimes stretch things so far that I wash my hair on the fourth day but that's rare as I go to the gym often and wash my hair often. This may be ridiculous but I'm saving this shampoo for days when I know I'll be taking a walk or when I'm going to work and I want my hair to look extra fresh and airy. I'll be repurchasing the big 500ml bottle soon – I just love this shampoo! I'm not saying that you should buy it but do take it into consideration. For what it's worth, I'm hooked!

Glede pakovanja, znate vec – ipak je rijec o Kérastase proizvodu i odmah znate da nema drugacije opcije od glamurozne. No kada pogledamo sampon, ne radi se o nekom remek-djelu i u sustini je rijec o plasticnoj bocici. Ne znam da li se meni pricinjava ali se doista istice u mojoj kupaonici tako da, sigurno ima nesto posebno u vezi njega. Takodjer je pakovanje funkcionalno, cep je mozda malo glomazan ali je lagan a otvor je idealan i savrseno funkcionise sa samom teksturom sampona pa je doziranje odlicno. Kérastase Resistance njega kose se obicno sastoji od proizvoda koji su namijenjeni osnazenju oslabljene kose dok Volumifique dodatak znaci da takav proizvod pruza i dodatni volumen. Sampon o kojem pisem je biserno bijele boje, kremaste teksture i njezno vocnog mirisa (iz nekog me razloga asocira na Fructis Garnier sampone). Na prvi pogled ne djeluje posebno ali od prve upotrebe sam bila razuvjerena. Prije svega, potrebno ga je kolicinski malo po samponiranju (mozda velicina ljesnika u dlanu). U slucaju da mi je kosa narocito masna, za prvo ispiranje cu koristiti neki jeftiniji sampon samo da oslobodi tjeme viska sebuma a potom koristim ovaj Kérastase sampon za naredna dva ispiranja. Obicno mi je potrebno da ukupno dva ili tri puta nasamponiram kosu posto je masna i duga. Kremasta formulacija sampona ne isusuje kosu i zaista je njezna spram dlake dok istovremeno radi svoj posao kako spada. Dok sam pod tusem tacno osjetim kako sampon ucini da kosa ‘nadodje’ pod prstima dok je ispirem. Vocni miris nije snazan, eventualno ga nekada u tragovima osjetim tokom narednog dana u kosi. Nakon pranja i nakon sto kosu osusim (bilo na zraku, bilo fenom) kosa bude vidno punija i ima lijepu teksturu. Takva ce ostati barem 2 dana dok mi vec treceg dana treba pomoc suhog sampona i eventualno gumice za kosu. Uz ovaj sampon nekada mogu produziti pranje do cetvrtog dana no to je rijetkost jer idem cesto u teretanu i pranje kose je obavezno. Mozda je smijesno sto cu reci da ovaj sampon cuvam za dane kada idem na posao ili znam da cu ici u setnju pa zelim da mi kosa izgleda posebno lijepo, svjeze i gusto. Uskoro cu kupiti bocicu od 500ml – toliko sam zaljubljena u ovaj sampon! Necu vam reci da ga sebi kupite ali ga barem uzmite u razmatranje. Ja sam u potpunosti odusevljena! Kérastase Resistance Bain Volumifique – C'est Magnifique!
