Formula Latina by Joss Claude Products
Jun 10^th, 2004 at 1:16pm

I just read an announcement for a new hair care product line, Formula Latina by Joss Claude Products, designed specifically for Latino type hair. It is supposed to reduce frizz and increase shine. They claim to use gentle, natural ingredients.

Their web site is offering free samples. Although I ordered the samples (so I can get a complete list of the ingredients), I know I don't have the hair type that these products are aimed at. I'd love to hear from some of you what you think of the products.

[I edited the subject line for this thread so we could find it again!]

WOW

this stuff sounds great, the ingredients that they show look really good. Their add says they sell the s/c in grocery and drug stores but not in my area, I guess thats good it gives me time to save up to spend more money on s/c Grin

. When you get your samples and try them give us an update, I would really like to know if it worked and if you liked them. What did you get for samples, I hope the shampoo and conditioner.
One more thing lets us know how it smells, I love s/c that smell nice. Thank you bikerbraid for the 411!

I see they give you moist shampoo and moist conditioner thats a plus for me, I also asked if they would be selling thier products where I live. Thanks again for letting us know.

I just got my box of "samples"! They are FULL SIZE bottles!!!! I had biked to work and back today, so I needed a shower and shampoo.

I tried the shampoo and conditioner (both for long hair). The shampoo had a fruity smell (not overwhelming). The conditioner was very thick, little fragrance. Both seemed to work well (at least in the shower). The shampoo seemed to leave my hair tangle free and "slick", although not as slick as products with -cones. I didn't use very much of the conditioner, but again, my hair was tangle free.

I'll let you know how well I like it after my hair is dry - probably tomorrow.

The ingredients showed no -cones except in the frizz control serum.

I like the idea it smells fruity, are there any cones in the conditioner? From reading your post I take it thier are none. I will still give it a try and also let you know how my hair turnes out, I can't believe they give full size bottles out for samples .

I've used it 2 days in a row. (The only time I shampoo that often is when I am biking in hot weather, which I have done for the past few days).

My hair is very shiny and tangle-less. It is soft to the touch. These are all good things. I have not used the anti-frizz serum (my hair does not like -cones). My hair is not frizzy, but it does seem a bit more fly-away than with my regular products. Maybe with a light oiling, it would be less so.

At this point, I would give good marks to the shampoo and conditioner. I'd love to hear if any curly hair people try this out and how they like it.

Did you get the Moisturizing line or the Long Hair line? I received little samples of the moisturizing and full size bottles of the Long Hair. Let us know what you think of your samples!

They sent me the moisturizing line, I wish it would have been the long hair line. I did my co washing this morning and really liked the way the conditioner made my hair feel, it was easy to detangle and my hair felt really soft when it finally dried. I really would like to try the long hair line, I hope thier products come to where I live. I give the conditioner a thumbs up the shampoo I can't rate ( gave up shampoo ), but will ask my sister how she liked it.
