Review:Lanza Be Long Line

[free2bme]

Few weeks ago I ordered sample of the Lanza Be Long line and I just got around to using the them. Be Long is a protien based line designed to address the needs of long hair.

The Products:

BE LONG Cleanse: A very mild shampoo that reminded me of elucence but not as concentrated. Very Very gentle. I imagine it would be great for folks that color their hair. I am in the market for a new shampoo and this ain't bad. All in all I give it /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Be Long Strengthen: This was a 2-3 minute reconstructive treatment. It gave the hair great slip and was detangling.I left it on for 5 minutes and moved on to the next step. All in all /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif. There so many great protein treatments for a fraction of the price

Be Long Condition: Again a nice conditioner, it softened my hair has some slip to it but nothing to do cart wheels over.

Be Long Protect & Shine: This was basically a silicone based serum similar to Frizz Ease but much better quality. IIt had great slip and light feeling. I used it on wet hair and roller set. My hair isn't dry yet so I hope the final result is okay.

All in all a decent line with quality ingredients but I'm not exactly sold. I can see myself using products within the line but not the line in it's entirety. You can get more info at www.lanza.com

Thanks for the review.

I have the Protect & Shine serum. It was on sale for $3.99 at my local beauty supplies so knowing how expensive it prolly normally is I picked it up. Plus I'm sold on a few things from Lanza anyway so... /images/graemlins/look.gif okay okay so I'm a PJ. What? what? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi Supergirl,

My roller set came out bouncy and full of life. IF I see the protect & shine on sale I might get it.

Thanks for the review F2B. I tried the Be Long Strengthen too - and liked it - but I didn't do a rollerset after so I've yet to see how dry hair looks after using. I really liked it tho. I thought the slip was good and it packed more of a punch being a reconstructor type product to me. I won't try the shampoo as I really like the Protein Plus. But I'm glad you gave the serum a good review because I'm always in the market for a great new serum.
