The SUPERcrew® put OGX to the test…

BEAUTYcrew Beauty Editor / October 04 2022

Sick of stashing several shampoo bottles in your shower? Been on the lookout for haircare that does it all? You and our Super Crew members have something in common…

For the past few weeks, our panel of haircare experts (AKA the Super Crew) have been incorporating the OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo ($17.50 at Woolworths) and OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Conditioner ($17.50 at Woolworths) into their routines.

The OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Conditioner are the ultimate multitaskers, providing five benefits in one bottle. The shampoo and conditioner are enriched with keratin, argan oil and ceramides, and promise smoother, stronger, shinier, silkier, and softer strands with each use.

So, does the duo live up to its promise? Here’s the Super Crew verdict…

#1/ They smoothed frizz and made hair more manageable

“[OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Conditioner leave my] hair so smooth and shiny,” said @abeerafarooq11. They give a “beautiful finish so [my hair] is easy to style.”  
@ailenecamino echoed this sentiment, saying the duo helped to make her “hair soft and smooth without making it look greasy” and that her hair was “easier to detangle.”

#2/ They helped to soften, hydrate and impart shine

A recurrent theme in our Super Crew’s reviews? The shampoo and conditioner didn’t just smooth, soften and impart shine – they hydrated hair too.

OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Conditioner left @missnellebelle’s hair “more hydrated with less frizz and significantly more body!”.

According to Super Crew member, @temporaryprincess, they helped to get her hair hydrated, into shape, and turned her hair wash day into a therapeutic experience.

#3/ They repaired damage and reduced breakage

“My hair is super damaged,” confessed @ohmy_stellar. She usually relies on hair masks to keep her strands silky soft, but she’s been impressed with the results the shampoo and conditioner have shown. “It’s done a great job of keeping my hair smooth and strong.”

Meanwhile, @abeerafarooq11 liked the OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and OGX 5 in 1 Benefits + Frizz Free Keratin Smoothing Oil Conditioner because “they reduce hair breakage as well” and don’t “dry the hair.”

The verdict: It’s a no-brainer

Our Super Crew came to the conclusion that the five benefits in one bottle simplified the hair washing process enough to land a permanent place in their routines. 

A few recommended waiting for a sale to get your hands on the set (which retails at just under $20 a bottle), while others said they appreciated a minimal two-step approach to haircare and the subsequent streamlined in-shower experience. 

The takeaway? Yes, less is more…
