To buy or not buy:Andre Walker Keratin Shampoo & Conditioner

[Blairx0]

Groupon is having a deal this week for Andre Walker's Shampoo& Conditioner ( 10 oz each) for 20 bucks. While I had told myself I don't need it I am willing to be persuaded. My hair is natural ( type 4),a little past SL stretched and I PS most of the time, but I am hopeful to try some "out" styles for summer.

Have you tried this product? If so what was your experience? Any input will be helpful. Thanks so much!

If this is the same Andre Walker(Oprah's hair stylist) I wouldn't buy anything with his name on it. Just my opinion.

I haven't forgotten his statements. http://www.cocoandcreme.com/2011/07/oprah-winfreys-hairstylist-andre-walker-kinky-hair-is-limiting/

I think for the money you could probably find something that you love.

I have 4b hair that is very picky, major shrinkage and does not like a lot of protein. My mom purchased this product. I used it once and I thought it worked well. My hair felt strong and smooth and I did not have the severe shrinkage that I usually have. It also felt good after shampooing as well as conditioning. Most shampoos cause my hair to shrink and to tangle. This one did not.

But like I said for the price, I can't say that it is worth it. I would honestly have to use it more than once to know the long term results. But I thought it worked better than most products I have used.

I personally wouldn't buy it. If I was to buy anything with Keratin I would buy the new Giovanni products.

His products are crap! Definitely overpriced for what they do.

Groupon writes the worst descriptions, but I think I will talk the overall tone of the advice given and pass.

Thanks ladies

The conditioner ingredients look great and I don't see any cones! The shampoo has ALS though, I'd skip that.
