I hadn’t heard of Neal & Wolf until I came across them

The shampoo itself is transparent and really quite thick. It
lathers up really well, making a soft luxurious lather whilst washing away the dirt from your hair. The shampoo is
suitable for all hair types. Although I suffer from dry damaged hair, caused by
over dying and over styling – I am every hairdresser’s worst nightmare,
I found this shampoo extremely moisturising and detangling. My hair felt
squeaky clean but without the tangled mess it usually is if I don’t slap conditioner
on straight away.

The shampoo has a distinctive smell without being harsh or
overpowering. I think it has a ‘spa’ kind of smell. When you go to a spa for a
body treatment and they use lots of posh products; well I think that’s what a
shampoo version of it would be like. It has quite a masculine smell, which I
was quite surprised that I liked so much (I’m usually a flowery or fruity kind
of girl). The scent does last once your hair dries, but I wish it was a little
stronger, I love my hair to smell nice throughout the day.

Harmony comes in an ivory pearlised squeezy tube. It’s very
white in colour and doesn’t look dissimilar to moisturiser. It has a thick
consistency and isn’t runny at all. A little goes a long way with this. It
easy coats the ends of your hair and you can instantly feel its smoothing
affects. I tend to leave it on for a couple of minutes, same as my normal shampoo. I
would imagine you could leave this on longer maybe once a week for a more
intense treatment.

I was a little uncertain about whether I was using this
product correctly due to the name – I personally associate the name ‘ Intensive
Care Treatment’ with a treatment masque, that I’d apply maybe once a week. I’m
not sure whether I am seeing the full effects of the product if I’m using it
daily, maybe the Ritual Daily Conditioner would create a better
combination for daily us, and keep the Harmony for less regular use.

I absolutely love the smell of this. It has a light musky
smell which I can’t stop sniffing. It smells like an expensive salon treatment,
and leaves you hair amazingly soft and shiny. I am hugely impressed by the product, and
will buy it again as soon as it runs out. I feel like I’ve got new hair! I
can’t stop touching it.

Silk comes in an ivory pearlised container and again looks
very elegant and expensive. The product is white in colour and is a thick white
gel like consistency. Out of the three products I tried I like the smell of this one the
least, it’s by no means bad but isn’t as noticeable or as unique as the other
two. It smells like a weak version of the Harmony Scent.

Again you don’t need to use a lot of this product; about a
10p size in the palm of my hand is enough for my hair – which is just below my shoulders.

My hair does need product to help smooth its dry ends and
rectify the horrible split ends I’ve got, but I usually use a finishing serum
when I’ve dried and straightened my hair, so using the blow dry balm on damp was a new
experience for me.

I was sent the products to test and review by the company. The opinions are my own and are honest.
