I'm Hooked on This Shampoo - Here's Why I Love It

Hello everyone!

I'm super excited to share my thoughts on the Natura Siberika Obliquipovy "Maximum Volume" shampoo, which has already gained a ton of buzz for its amazing ability to work with all hair types.

A little background on the shampoo:

Packaging: I got the soft-pouch and plastic tube version, and I'm really impressed with the stylish and atmospheric design - it makes it a great gift option.Price: I last bought it for 199 rubles at Ulybka Radugi, but you can also find it at Pyaterochka for 160 rubles. Considering the quality, I think it's an absolute steal - great value for money!

Where to buy? You can find it in various stores, from beauty shops to supermarkets - it's pretty widely available.Volume: It comes in a 500ml bottle, which lasts me about 2-2.5 months. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm really pleased with the results.Manufacturer: Russia - I appreciate that the manufacturer is transparent about the source of their ingredients and has taken the time to include this information on the packaging.First Impressions

The shampoo comes in two versions: a hard-plastic tube and a soft-pouch version, which is what I have. I really like the packaging design - it's stylish and atmospheric, making it a great gift option.

This shampoo is suitable for all hair types - I have curly, thick, porous hair that's prone to frizz, and it's really helped to keep my hair looking healthy and smooth.

The Obliquipovy shampoo "Maximum Volume" gives your hair maximum volume, shine, and density while protecting it from heat damage during styling. It revitalizes and lifts your hair from the roots without weighing it down. After using the shampoo, your hair will look incredibly beautiful and voluminous.

The ingredient list is quite impressive, with many natural and beneficial substances that make this brand so popular. I was excited to see the list of ingredients in this product, and it did not disappoint.

I was really impressed by the formula, which includes a blend of natural extracts like Achillea Asiatica Extract, which is derived from the Asian yarrow plant, and Viburnum Opulus Bark Extract, sourced from the hawthorn tree. I also noticed the presence of Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, which is a type of argan oil commonly used in skincare products. The list goes on to include other organic ingredients like Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, which is extracted from the sea buckthorn fruit.

The asterisk (*) symbol indicates that these ingredients are organic, which is a major plus in my book. I appreciate that the manufacturer is transparent about the source of their ingredients and has taken the time to include this information on the packaging.

The manufacturer has included a statement on the packaging, which reads:

I've noticed that the shampoo contains a blend of vitamins and amino acids that really nourish and restore my hair. The Altai apricot kernel oil, Moroccan argan oil, and flaxseed oil all work together to promote keratin production, giving my hair strength and shine. The nettle and daurian hawthorn help lock in moisture deep within my hair's structure. The Altai apricot kernel oil is the star of the show here - it's a unique and precious ingredient that's packed with vital nutrients. Given the harsh climate and freezing temperatures, it's got some amazing adaptogenic properties that help me keep my hair looking its best. Altai apricot kernel oil is an amazing source of essential vitamins, amino acids, and omega 3, 6, 9, and even rare omega 7 fatty acids - all of which are essential for healthy, beautiful hair. I've been using it on my body, face, and hair, and I've been really impressed with the results. All the products in the OBLEPIKHA SIBERICA PROFESSIONAL range contain high concentrations of Altai apricot kernel oil, which is cold-pressed from hand-picked berries. That's what sets this new line apart from the rest.

The cap is a screw-top design that closes securely. The dosing is spot on, and I haven't had any issues with it. To be honest, I did have a bit of a learning curve at first - I was pouring out too much product, but now I've got it down to a science.

Consistency

The shampoo is a liquid formula, and while it's not the most economical, I've been really pleased with the results. The color is a gorgeous orange hue.

Smell

I was really pleased with the scent - it's sweet, not at all chemical-y, and it reminds me of seabuckthorn oil.

Foaming

It lathers up beautifully, even with a small amount of product.

My hair

I have curly, thick, porous hair that's prone to frizz.

Effect after shampooing

When I first started using it, I noticed some itchiness, but after a few washes, that went away. My hair feels soft, manageable, and smells great after using this shampoo.

Now, let's break it down

Firstly, my hair feels light and silky after using this shampoo. I've got hair that's just below my shoulders, and after washing, it's less frizzy and more manageable. It's also a great choice for people who've had keratin or nanoplasty treatments - it really helps to keep your hair looking healthy and smooth.

Secondly, it's easy to comb through. Of course, you can't expect to get silky hair without a conditioner, but this shampoo is a big help. It doesn't weigh my hair down, so it's easy to comb through, and it leaves my hair feeling soft and silky, not dry or brittle.

Cleanliness of the scalp

I use it twice a week, and it does a great job of removing dirt, oil, and product buildup. I wash my hair every two days, and it still looks clean and healthy, but by the third day, it starts to look a bit greasy.

Packaging

For me, packaging isn't a big deal, but it's all about convenience and price. If you're particular about packaging, that's up to you.

Usage

I find that it lasts me about two to two and a half months, depending on my hair length and how often I wash it. I think the usage is pretty normal, but if you find it's hard to dispense from the bottle, you can always transfer it to a more compact container, and it'll last even longer.

Overall impressions

For me, this shampoo is a winner - it doesn't dry out my hair, has a great formula, and a lovely scent, and it does a great job of cleaning my scalp. The only downside is that it caused some itchiness at first, but that went away after a few washes.
