Our review

From curly locks, to bleached bobs, read on to discover what our Beauty Team thought of the new No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo as we tried and tested it on four different hair types.

 

Sheeva, Beauty Editor

Hair type: thick, curly, dry

I use a combination of products to style my curls, which makes it prone to build-up and ‘dandruff-like’ residue. This shampoo nourishes my hair from root to tip, removing product build-up without stripping it dry. Despite my hair being long and thick, I only need to use a small amount as a little goes a long way!’ 

 

Alice, Commercial Marketing Manager

Hair type: fine, bleached, straight

‘A super light-weight shampoo leaving my hair feeling airy and silky smooth with a gorgeous shine - I love it!’ 

Farrah, PR Manager

Hair type: thick, wavy, long

‘This product really delivers! It left my thick locks feeling super clean without drying them out, and gave them a super glossy finish.’ 

Holly, Beauty Writer

Hair type: fine, oily, flat

‘This shampoo lathers up to cleanse my whole head with just a small amount and really helps to stop my hair from getting greasy throughout the day!’

As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine. Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
