Spring cleaning with some fave new shampoos: Andre Walker, and No. 4 High Performance Hair Care

March 10, 2011

ANDRE WALKER 

keratin, keratin, rah, rah, rah!

$39 for the shampoo/conditioner set

Loving the feel and texture of this line.  

But I confess to be having a major affair with the packaging.

And, hey, it's got Oprah's stamp, so….

Stunning. Makes my shower look V.I.P.

 

Keratin-Shampoo-Conditioner-2
WHAT:

Keratin Shampoo is formulated to build strong, healthy hair. It is the perfect blend of the highest quality natural ingredients, such as Whole Leaf Aloe Vera and Green Tea Extract, and the best of modern science — Keratin. Whatever your hair type, Keratin Shampoo will smooth, hydrate, and strengthen from root to tip, preparing your hair for the added benefits of Andre Walker's Keratin Conditioner. 

Please note: Keratin Shampoo is a unique shampoo experience and designed to be used in tandem with the Keratin Conditioner. You will have less lather with even deeper cleansing, which is a part of our custom formulation. The texture of your hair after shampoo is going to feel different, because the hair is now clean and ready for the moisturizing benefits of our keratin conditioner, a deep penetrating protein treatment.

 

And I follow up with this:

Q OIL

$35

Q-oil-Quench-Essential-Oil-2T

 

Quench-Essential is Andre Walker's way of describing his favorite nourishment for hungry hair.  Made from the purest Virgin Argan Oil of Morocco, this light, easy to use oil absorbs instantly into the hair, creating amazing shine. Your hair will be easier to manage, stronger, and smoother with just a little Q-Oil applied to your driest areas every day. Comes in a convenient dispenser for just the right amount.

No. 4 High Performance Hair Care

And I'm having a major style crush on this line.  Both in packaging and ingredients.

I mean c'mon, take a look, that's just ridic.

Number4

how do these ingredients sound?

acai, vitamin b, jojoba, yerba mate, black currant, soy yogurt, algae


Uber chic design and high performance.  

This bad-ass line, launched by Juan Carlos Obando and Didier Malige includes twelve cleansing and styling products:  L’eau de Mer Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, Lumiere D’Hiver Reconstructing Masque, and Jour D’Automne Support Solution, etc.

 100% Vegan, Sulfate, Gluten, Bad Taste and Paraben free formulas claim to restore your locks to “bourgeoisie strength.”  

I'm obsessed with the way these bottles make my shower look like less of a dump, my tresses are feeling fab afterwards and the smell…umm…D I V I N E.

COOL FACTS : Number 4 High Performance Hair Care was founded with the mission to create a hair care line that runs parallel to fashion, science, art, music and industrial design creative cycles. The Number 4 package design is inspired by the crossover between the essence of Swedish graphic design and the complex industrial minimalism of Japanese package design. According to CEO/founder Rick Hough: “Number 4 collaborates with and supports talented hairstylists, artists, environmentalists, fashion designers, musicians, tastemakers, writers, landscapers and scientists to not only decide where Number 4 goes next but to actively improve the state of our planet each session.”
