As I'm using the products, I have high hopes and expectation since none of Rene Furterer products have failed me. I personally has been their loyal customer since 15 years ago and I remember that my (hair) life goes ups and down, literally through thick and thin, Rene Furterer's shampoo, conditioner, masks, treatments and oils has always pleased me in so many ways. From the aroma to the sensation and result, it's real and wonderful at the same time.
The process and journey with them is smooth and it's kinda like my guilty pleasure since I'm enjoying using their products so much.
So when the first open the tube and sniff the scent, oh well, it was not as fresh, as lovely, as fragrant as the other variant. These are like balsamic, it's not that they smell bad, but ... balsamic as in like a deep forest roses.
-*-
Nevertheless, I'm still using them. Start from the shampoo which lathers easily on my dry and coarse hair thanks to the bleach and repeated coloring process, and unlike other shampoo where the tangles are easily formed, this shampoo felt good on the hair, it actually soften the hair, making them manageable as well, even when it's still wet.
It cleans the scalp and hair nicely, and the feeling on the scalp is just wonderful. No clogging, greasy residue, oils not limp hair. It is pampering without annoying the scalp from things that are unnecessary like silicone, or at least I didn't see any silicone on the ingredients list, no sulfate too, since sulfate is known to take the color out of the colored hair. But I do noticed the paraben >.<
-*-
Continued with the conditioner that are used from the mid length to the ends of the hair. I leave them on until around 5 minutes since the conditioner can also be used as an instant hair mask. Immediately, the hair feels silky, smooth and with body. It helps them stay de-tangled and looks shinier.

Beside all of the information from the website, you can also read them at the boxes and they do provide pamphlet as well inside the box. Aside from that, the product itself is easy to be used.
Protects and boosts the radiance of colored hair
OKARA PROTECT COLOR Radiance enhancing shampoo, with an fruity, gourmet aroma, preserves the intensity of colored hair with a sulfate-free acidic pH cleansing base. Hair is tangle-free, soft, and radiant.-*-
Those who colored their hair must have known that the problems after coloring the hair is the hair become dry, brittle, prone to breakage once the drying kept on going, and for those repeated offenders (like me) and bleach user, the hair become so dry, in the end they'll loose all those natural shine and have to keep on coloring so the 'void' at hair strands remain 'filled with colors'.
That's why colored hair fade, the colorants are removed from each day of using the wrong products. It is impossible not to clean the hair, it is unavoidable, but we can choose products like OKARA so the hair color stays vibrant and pretty longer, or at least until the next coloring process (usually 3-6 months).
-*-
OKARA shampoo and conditioner works hand in hand keeping the colors intact, and adding to the collection is the Radiance Enhancing Spray.
-*-
The spray is like a leave in formula used when we're about to use a hair dryer (in my case). So after finish with the shampoo and conditioner, towel dry the hair and use the spray right before hair drying or when about to style the hair. I also use the spray before using hot tools such as straightener or a hair curler.
The spray is light and can be used as often as I needed, but not too much and not made to touch the roots, so they are only for the hairs. It has the exactly same scent with the rest of the variant, like a sour and bitter citrus mixed with a forest rose, kinda balsamic and smell acidic. The product is not necessarily acidic, just the aroma.

Instant detangling effect with UV and color protection
With its lightweight texture, this OKARA PROTECT COLOR Radiance enhancing spray instantly detangles colored hair and protects it every day. Natural look.-*-
Since my hair is specially treated by the professional, my hair will keep on developing it's color even after a month. So at first, the team will made the hair seems darker, underneath it all is bleach, hence the color will keep on being lighter and lighter. And of course, the hair will become dryer and dryer or at least that's how it appears to be.
But as I'm using OKARA shampoo, conditioner and radiance enhancing spray, the hair actually still radiant and the color loss maintained in the lowest level possible.
-*-
Gradually and eventually they color do change, but the shines are still there or even added thanks to OKARA.
-*-
A coarse, dry and brittle hair is of course become full of tangles, but with OKARA series, the hair even though still feels a bit dry (a chemical hair process would definitely still change the natural hair condition) the hair still manageable and soft enough to the touch. I can also say that the breakage are far less and the hair regain it's strength.
-*-
Radiance Enhancing Spray can also be used as a UV protection for the hair. I know that in Indonesia we're not really using a UV protection, at least there's still not a lot of people using the UV protection on their skin, and what more for the hair, they actually important for both hair and skin. On the skin, we all know that the UV protection product does so much than to prevent dark spots but also skin cancer.
For the hair, if you pay attention, those who spend more times under the sun without using a hair, umbrella or anything to protect the hair, their hair are usually dryer, more brittle and losing their hair pigment. So the hair will appear 'fade' from whatever their natural or existing hair color is (colored or not). In the end, using a UV protection product for the hair help the color to stays longer, better, shinier, and of course in the end, all of these products made the hair becomes healthier.
Thank you Rene Furterer Indonesia, I'll definitely keep on using OKARA series for my colored hair.
