The struggle has never been real for a curly haired girl during this lockdown period. The supermarket haircare doesn't really cater to us and buying something like haircare online seems a bit selfish to waste courier drivers time when the product is non essential. With most of the shelves being empty at the supermarket I didn't have much of an option for hair care. Being Fiji Indian it's grilled into us that coconut oil is good for the hair, pretty much anything coconut is good for us. So with the lack of options at the supermarket and the knowledge that coconut is good for the hair, I had one choice and that was to pick up the OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner and hope for the best.
Before we get into this review lets talk about the type of hair I have... My hair is fine, curly and in healthy condition because I haven't dyed my hair for over a year however because my hair is curly it can be occasionally be on the frizzy side depending on how i wash it and the humidity. Another thing I should point out is that I have a very oily scalp.
Nourishing + Coconut Milk Shampoo
When you first open the bottle you get a sweet scent of coconut more so of a coconut milkshake scent but it's not too over powering as it doesn't leave a strong scent on your hair. You don't need a lot of product because a little goes a long way as it lathers nicely especially if you're someone like me who likes to double shampoo. You end up having a very clean feeling after shampooing as it takes away all the excess oil built up on your scalp however it can leave your hair feeling a tad bit on the dry side.

Nourishing + Coconut Milk Conditioner
You get same hit of coconut milkshake when you open the conditioner just like the shampoo. You don't need a lot of condition as most of us only like to use conditioner on the ends of our hair. I like to leave it in for a few minutes before rinsing it out. The conditioner left my ends hydrated and soft. There was not dry feeling what so ever after conditioning my hair.

Overall thoughts
Paired together they work well as they compliment each other. The product is more for people who struggle with an oily scalp in my opinion by not stripping away the good oils which a lot of drugstore haircare products do. Even though the shampoo gives the dry clean feeling any moisture the shampoo takes away the conditioner puts the hydration right back into your hair. After letting my hair naturally dry the products made my hair soft and more bouncy. I didn't find my hair being frizzy as both products do contain coconut oil. A lot of the time when there is coconut oil involved in haircare you struggle to get rid of the oily feeling but OGX has the right formula as there is no oily feeling. If you're in a pinch at the supermarket and need affordable haircare I would look into OGX products as they do have different ranges that cater to different hair types.
Have you tired any of the OGX range out? if so what did you think about the products?
