My hairdresser recommended the Oribe moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to me after I told her about the dryness I experienced while using the Olaplex duo. I’ve heard so many great things about Oribe over the years so I splurged on this duo. The Oribe moisturizing set is specifically formulated to moisturize curly and coily hair. I would describe my hair as way and extremely dry due to the desert climate I live in. Let’s see if Oribe was worth the splurge!

Consistency

Shampoo

The Oribe shampoo has a lightweight texture that doesn’t foam up in the hair. This shampoo cleanses dirt and oil out of my hair without drying or irritating my scalp. I love using this shampoo with my Briogeo scalp brush to remove buildup.

Conditioner

This conditioner has a moderately thick texture. For a conditioner this hydrating, I’m surprised the texture isn’t thicker. I always squeeze as much water out of my hair before applying this conditioner because the conditioner is very juicy in the hair. I leave the conditioner in my hair for 5-10 minutes and it feels so silky soft when I rinse it out. 

Scent

This moisturizing duo smells incredible! The best way I could describe the scent is sexy pear haha! I believe there may be notes of jasmine as well. I adore the smell of this shampoo and conditioner. I do not find the fragrance overpowering. The scent subtly lingers on the hair after washing which is something I actually enjoy. 

Ingredients

Shea butter and olive oil- to intensely moisturize the hair

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein- smoothes the hair cuticle and and prevents frizz

Price

*Sigh* The Oribe moisturizing shampoo retails for $46 for 8.5 ounces ($5.40 per oz) and the conditioner is $49 for 6.8 ounces ($7.20 per oz). Together, the duo costs $98. Damn. This is easily the most expensive shampoo and conditioner set I have ever tried. I absolutely love this duo and I think it’s worth the price, but unfortunately, it doesn’t fit within my college budget. 

Packaging 

The Oribe packaging is incredibly luxurious. I feel fancy as f*ck using these emerald green products lol. I didn’t experience any major issues with the bottles. I always squeeze these into travel tubes so I can’t say how the bottles perform on the go. My only complaint is that Oribe could use less plastic with the conditioner bottle. The plastic cap with the seal is huge and unnecessary. 

Results

The Oribe moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is easily the best wash duo I’ve ever used! My long hair felt so dry and brittle before I started using this duo. I feel like I could live without the shampoo even though I liked it, but the conditioner was definitely a game changer for me! I am moving soon and I’ll be on a tighter budget so I’m planning on using this conditioner once a week instead of twice so the bottle will last longer.

Have you ever tried any products from Oribe?
