AUSSIE: 3 MINUTE MIRACLE SHINE (DEEP TREATMENT)

AUSSIE: 3 MINUTE

MIRACLE SHINE

This is a sample sachet of this product, that I received through the post.

I've heard a lot of good things about Aussie products, in the past. Never actually tried any of them, until now.  I was excited about trying this, as it's something that my hair needs - a good deep treatment.

The first thing I always do when trying a new product, is see what it smells like. I don't know if I was unlucky here, with a dodgy sachet, or whether the whole Aussie range has the same scent - but it was horrible. I could smell the fruits, but there was a distinct odour of 'wet dog'. Now, if you have/had a dog, then you'll know what I mean when I say that. It's basically the same musty/damp smell that you get off your dog, when it has just come inside out of the rain. 

As I say, I'm not sure whether it was just this sachet or the whole range - as it's the first Aussie product that I've actually tried. It could quite possibly be the smell of the Ginseng, I have no idea. Anyway, after getting over how it smelt, I went on to give it a try. I thought the smell would possibly disappear, by the end result. It didn't, really. However, it wasn't as bad as when I first applied the product to the hair.

The instructions advise to smooth the product on damp hair, wait for 3 minutes and then rinse it out. I have to say, despite the smell, this product is actually really good. I smoothed it on to the lengths of my hair, avoiding the roots - as is advised with many products that offer shine to the hair, as it tends to make the roots look greasy.

After I had dried my hair with my hair dryer, I could instantly feel that my hair was softer and could notice shine to it. Usually, I have to straighten it before I feel any softness. There was a bit more shine, after I had straightened my hair and the softness remained. My hair actually felt like it had had a good treatment, so maybe it is a 'miracle' product? 

I could still smell the 'wet dog' odour after I had finished my hair, which was slightly disappointing. It did seem to fade, but it would be better if it actually wasn't there at all. I would love to buy the full size of this, as it does the job that it says. It's just the bad smell, that's putting me off wanting to buy it. 

RATING: 4/5
