O2 Shampoo, O2 Conditioner, Lifting Tonic - OGX

Here at the Amazing Blog, we love products that take care of our hair, and as such we are always on the look out for new products that will leave our locks looking more luscious, shiny and healthy. So when OGX was introduced to us, and after hearing impressive stories, we were unsurprisingly so excited to try some of their products.  

We tried the new O2 collection from OGX that has a unique formula of Oxygen, Liposomes, and Cloudberries that breathes life back into lifeless locks. The special ingredients in the new collection (including vitamin A, B, C and E, Calcium, and Magnesium) help nourish your hair and keep it in a healthy condition. The new collection includes an O2 Shampoo, O2 conditioner, and a Lifting Tonic. If you want to find a new haircare regime these products are suitable for fine hair especially as it will help moisturize, hydrate and volumize your hair.

For those of you who want weightless, bouncy, volumised hair the O2 shampoo and conditioner should become a staple! The lifting tonic creates an added boost, which is perfect for those of you who have fine hair which tends to drop throughout the day. A  light oil, the lifting tonic, is easy to use; simply spray, from about 6-8 inches away, on to dry or damp hair. We cannot wait to try more of OGX's diverse hair care range in the future as this is a brand that does not disappoint.

You can purchase the shampoo at a selection of stores around the UK including Boots, who charge £6.99 for the Shampoo, £6.99 for the Conditioner and £7.35 for the Lifting Tonic.
