Augustinus Bader The Shampoo & Conditioner Duo (Travel Size)

A nice non-lathering shampoo.

Only used it once so far, but my hair came out nice.Why do you send out these review requests so soon after receipt - hardly time to use them, sometimes they're not even opened yet. Kind of foolish.

This was an 'ok' experience for me. Why just ok - here are my thoughts:- I have almost to the shoulder length hair and it took a lot of product to get into it all.- the shampoo was a bit runnier than I expected it to be. My first wash really would not lather at all - second wash did - but by this time I had used a lot of product in total.- It does rinse out nicely and my hair was literally squeaky clean.- The conditioner was much thicker, but again, I felt like I needed more product than I typically use with other brands- I think it is supposed to be fragrance free- which is absolutely fine by me...but it does a have a little strange smell out of the bottle. (But the smell does not linger on your hair post rinse)There is nothing "wrong" with this pairing - but I had to give it 3 stars because at the price point (for a travel size, no less) I expected much, MUCH more wow factor. This was just a good shampoo. No more, no less. There are drugstore brands that are just as good for a literal 10th of the price.

Since this is a travel size set I can't really speak to how the products work on hair over time, but I can speak on what I experienced during the few uses I got out of them. I wasn't aware of Augustinus Bader before receiving The Shampoo & Conditioner duo, but based on the price I could tell they were high end. I was very excited to see what scent the shampoo and conditioner were since it isnt listed and I could only describe it as a woody (not woodsy) scent. It reminds me of dark chocolate slightly, not a cocoa scent but the woody smell that some dark chocolate has. Its definitely more of a masculine scent than a feminine scent in my opinion. It doesn't stick around long, once I rinse my hair I can't smell anything anymore, which for the price I would expect my hair to smell like heaven. This is the main reason the product isn't getting 5 stars from me. I don't know what "TFC8" is but it seems to be what sets their formula apart from others. I do appreciate that these products are suitable for all hair types and says it aids in keratin production. The shampoo did give me a squeaky clean gentle cleanse and the conditioner moisturized my ends well. The consistency of both was thick, as expected from a luxury hair care brand, and both lathered/distributed nicely. It's on par with other similar brands that I've tried, I just wish it had a nice scent to it.

Although it is a rather expensive skin- and haircare line, I have been purchasing the full-size of the shampoo and conditioner for some time now. The duo has completely transformed my dry hair! It has become more easily manageable and I no longer add a ton of other styling products. It would be great if the travel size could be refilled yet it's great that it's available nevertheless.

I have very long hair to the middle of my back. It is also color treated. That can make my hair very dry. I wanted a shampoo that did not strip my hair or make it dryer. This shampoo gave me everything I wanted... or rather what I didn't want. It has no sulfates, it's vegan, and has no parabens. After I was done shampooing, my hair did feel smooth and it certainly wasn't dry.However, I have so much hair and I had to add more and more shampoo to get a lather. There are occasionally times when I have a lot of product in my hair which needs to be washed out as well. I would need a lot of this shampoo to get my hair clean, and I didn't really notice much of a difference.The conditioner, on the other hand, did make my hair feel soft after shampooing. It felt as if I had a smoothing leave-in conditioner on. It was much less frizzy and easier to comb. But, even though the conditioner is unscented, it does have a "fragrance". It reminds me a little of color treatments when I'm at the salon and I wanted something that made my hair smell fresh and clean. Although I liked the softness and smoothing, the smell was something I could live without.

This review is for the “Augustinus Bader The Shampoo & Conditioner Duo.”This travel-size shampoo and conditioner set is small in size and big in price… and unfortunately NOT “the shampoo” for me. I have long, fine, straight hair that tends to be oily at the roots and dry at the ends. This shampoo doesn’t lather well (so you have to use a lot) and the set left my hair feeling voluminous (a good thing, usually – my hair tends to be very flat) but also oily (a very weird combination). It just didn’t work well for my hair type, and it’s super spendy, too. Would not get again.

The Augustinus Bader line is very high end and it shows. This is a great little travel duo that ats in TFC8 which is supposed to support cellular renewal and natural hair growth. Since this is a trial size, I can't say for sure if it has but it does leave my hair feeling clean and soft and healthy. The scent is not at all strong and quite pleasant. I dislike perfume shampoos and prefer more woody muted scents, which this has. Perfect for travel - the only thing I wish is that it was 3oz instead to max out my TSA allowable travel size for those longer trips.
