I feel badly when I recommend something and it doesn't work for women. There are videos on the site that may be helpful.

@Shanus Don't feel bad.  I discovered JVN from an ad on facebook.  Just because a product works for someone doesn't mean it will work for everyone. I plan to stick with the styling products.  I just need to find my holy grail shampoo and conditioner.

@Shanus - don't feel bad.  I do understand how you feel because I've sung the praises for items on here and they haven't worked for some people and then I feel bad.  However, think most of us realize what works for some doesn't work for others and thats ok.  We all know the risks when trying somethng new - whether you or someone else on the board recommends it or our best girlfriend.

@JudyL , I'm using both the volumizing and hydrating shampoo, and conditioner.   They're both ok, and didn't dry my hair out.  Yesterday I needed the conditioning spray to comb my hair out, it was tangled.  I also used the air dry cream, and the shine drops.  Can't really see much difference in shine or my hair quality.  But nothing to complain about either.  Honestly I have seen much more shine and improvement from  Oribe, and Keratase,  and NEVER need anything more to comb my hair out from either of these.  Oribe is very expensive, a little goes goes a long way, and the smell is just out of this world, and lasts in my hair...I also have the perfume.   Keratase gave me super shiny hair, but for some reason I lose alot of hair while conditioning,  so I stopped using it.

As for JVN, like I said, nothing to complain about,  but I've used better...so I probably won't re-order.

@Dazlin  - You mentioned that you have the perfume.  Is this Oribe perfume?  Is this a hair perfume?  Can you describe the scent?

JudyL, I just got a bunch of JVN products, I took the quiz on his website.  It suggested the Volume shampoo but the Hydrating conditioner.  The shampoo does make my hair thicker and somewhat tangled, but with the hydrating conditioner, it works really well and I still get tons of volume.  I also use the Embody Volumizing Foam & Air Dry Cream.  It's good that you tried it out with samples first, but if you decide to give it another try, go with the hydrating conditioner.  And by the way, I also use & LOVE Tweak'd!

@San Antonio Gal , I have the perfume for body, but you can spritz it on hair. This my 2nd bottle...the hair products smell better, IMO, the shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, everything, it's wonderful.  So I use the perfume too...Sorry I really don't know the notes off hand, but you can look on the Oribe site for more details.  What I can describe is its such fresh, clean scent, maybe a bit fruity, and the products have a lasting smell in my hair, (I like even better than the perfume).  Nothing smells like it, so I can't compare. 

When I was getting my hair cut at my salon, I noticed my hair had this addicting scent, I kept smelling it.  So I asked my stylist and she showed me all the Oribe products they use...so that was it!!  The entire salon smells heavenly when I walk in.

@lyndajr @JudyL I also took the hair quiz that recommended the volumizing shampoo and hydrating conditioner.  I had tangled hair with this configuration.  Then I tried the hydrating shampoo with the hydrating conditioner - same result.

@Shanus ...its hit and miss...im glad I tried it.  I'm not having any major problems with it, like some here, but like I said, I've used much better.  One thing, it's not over priced, so im glad about that.  I actually got the shine drops and air dry cream for $25...so no complaints.  I just don't see any enhanced shine, too bad.  I even went outside in my bright Florida sunshine 🌞 with a mirror to look at my hair...LOL..no big difference in shine 🤷‍♀️.

I'll probably order Oribe again,  and switch off with Pureology...very good products...very shiny 🙂.

@Dazlin What formulation of Pureology do you use?  I used to use this brand many many years ago as it was recommended by my stylist.  I can't remember why I stopped using it.  Maybe the price.  Some of their conditioners have silicones which I avoid but I might be willing to try a formulation without them.

@ninjawife , right now I'm using the strengthening for blondes.  I also have used the hydrating line...the conditioner is minty...very refreshing on the scalp.
