HOLR’s Honest Review

HOLR had the opportunity to try out all three of the Authentic Beauty Concept Holiday Hair Kits and let me tell you- they did not disappoint!

Glow Collection:

The word “Glow” in the name was definitely intriguing to me when it came to testing out this collection. I love the idea of having healthy, glowing hair so I was all about giving this kit a go.

During a typical shower cycle, I used the cleanser first (lathering in a healthy amount) and then followed up with the conditioner. I like to focus my conditioner on the top of my head and let it run down (a little tip I picked up from a stylist!). After I got out, I then used a bit of the light cream throughout my damp hair to get it prepped and ready for drying and styling.

I love how the products in this particular collection work together to preserve your colour and moisturize your hair for lasting results. 

Now, when I tell you my hair looked super vibrant after only one wash session, I’m not lying! My hair looked shiny and healthy- something I didn’t think would be possible after colouring it for so many years. The cleanser and conditioner really brought out the vibrancy while the light cream kept it well-nourished and protected from the heat. 

This kit is a definite win in my books!

Hydrate Collection:

This kit is perfect for normal or dry hair, which is right up my alley! During the summer months, my hair is on the normal side, but as soon as colder weather hits, my hair starts to feel super dry! Since winter is almost in full swing, this kit was a must-try for me.

As with the other kits, I showered, as usual, using the cleanser first then the conditioner. Having freshly coloured my hair, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my hair looked super shiny after my shower. Before drying my hair, I applied a bit of the light cream to my locks. Drying my hair also makes it feel super brittle so now would be the moment of truth.

The result? I loved how soft and supple my hair felt! This rarely happens since the bleach tends to dry out my hair, but I honestly loved how well-nourished it felt after using this entire kit. It’s one of my new go-to’s on days when I feel like the cold weather is really doing the most to dry out my hair.

Replenish Collection:

As someone who regularly colours her hair, I was especially excited to try out the Replenish Collection. My hair is bright blonde and in desperate need of some extra love and care when it comes to keeping it healthy and well-nourished. Alas, the concept of this collection was perfect for me.

The Replenish Collection is good for damaged hair, so similarly to the other collections, I used the cleanser and conditioner in the shower first then followed up with the light cream on damp hair before styling.

After I got out of the shower, I immediately felt like my hair felt stronger to the touch. This is because the products are specially formulated to seal the hair cuticles and fortify your locks. As I envisioned, this kit did not disappoint and I will definitely be reaching for it as a blonde with previously damaged locks! 

Side note: After blow-drying my hair, I also noticed that my hair didn’t look or feel as frizzy and damaged as normal- instead, it looked super shiny and healthy. I love styling my hair so products that can help minimize the amount of frizz or damage are always a must-have for me, and I feel as if these three products worked in tandem with each other to give me healthy strong locks!

Results

As you can tell, all of the hair kits from Authentic Beauty Concept are a must-try! It’s important to select the kit that’s right for your hair, although I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the kits essentially worked for me and my coloured/dry hair. 

Even though all of the kits ended up working out for me, I personally found that the Replenish Collection was the most well-suited for my hair. This is because I noticed the biggest difference after using it and appreciated how the products -and ingredients- helped my hair feel healthy and strong (even after so much heat and colour damage). The light cream was also a great addition to my haircare routine because it didn’t weigh down my long hair. It was super easy to apply and felt lightweight when applied, which allowed for maximum movement. 

After trying and testing everything first-hand, I would highly recommend all of the above hair kits. If you’re interested in shopping the lineup, the holiday sets retail for $75 CAD (the Hand & Hair Light Cream can also be purchased separately for $31 CAD).
