It is always a delight when I find something that really works, in this case, for my hair. I usually need haircare products that bring deep moisture to my hair and styling products that give weight and texture to tame my unruly ends. Among the products I have tried from Profound Beauty, there are many great finds.

Profound Beauty is an extensive salon haircare and hair-styling line that caters to a wide range of hair types and styling needs.

(60/40 Shampoo & 05/95 Conditioner)

60/40 Shampoo is a very efficient hair cleansing product for me. I wear hair-styling products very often and I sometimes have to wash my hair twice to make sure there is no residue of any styling product. With this shampoo, one wash is enough. Even though it is designed for dry hair, It can still be a little drying for me (since it is a very efficient cleanser). But the 05/95 Conditioner complements it extremely well, leaving my hair smooth and silky.

(The numbers in the product names indicate how moisturizing they are. The shampoos come in 95/05, 90/10, 80/20, and 60/40, while the conditioners come in 40/60, 20/80, 10/90, and 05/95. The higher the second number of the pair, the more moisturizing the product is.)

(Linear Serum & Frizz Zero Cream)


Both Frizz Zero Cream and Linear Serum combat frizzy hair effectively. Frizz Zero Cream is essentially a leave-in conditioner. Even though the texture of the cream is very light, it works superbly well in bringing some weight and taming my fluffy ends, leaving the hair fresh and well-conditioned. Linear Serum is a simple silicone-based serum that has a very light watery texture and doesn’t leave hair greasy. (But, in this case, I’d personally prefer something more concentrated and heavy-duty, like John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Extra Strength.)

(Stucco & Arctic Chill)


Arctic Chill and Stucco are very different styling products, but both work well for my hair and have individual strengths. Usually, I don’t use a hair mousse because it gives me unnecessary volume. But Arctic Chill is a mousse that gives a glossy and sleek finish and takes away volume instantly. Stucco is a thick paste-like cream that has a completely matte finish and effectively gives texture and effortless definition.

Overall I am very pleased with what I have tried, especially the Frizz Zero Cream and the two styling products. Among the three, I have not used anything that performs quite like Arctic Chill, which is a particularly good find for me.
