The days when you could only find high-quality hair care products in the salon are over. I love supporting my stylist by buying products when I can, but I don’t want my options to be limited to what’s on her shelf. Prose has introduced a new way of getting our hands on top-notch shampoo, conditioner, and more, thanks to a little something called customization.
Does Prose hook you up the way OG salon brand Kérastase has been known to? The answer is a resounding YES. Here’s what to know:
If you’re ready to try custom haircare…Prose
Maybe the algo has been tempting you with personalized haircare for a while, and you’re looking for that last push. Well… here it is! All it takes to get started is taking Prose’s easy online consultation. You tell them all about your hair length, texture, dye status, and add details like your ZIP code so they can factor in your local weather and water hardness, and they create a set of unique formulas made to help your locks shine. ✨
You’ll be able to build your own routine from a range of products made to help you achieve your hair goals, including Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Oil, Dry Shampoo, and beyond. Try ‘em once or subscribe to save 15% on every order. Your products arrive with information on how and why they’re a perfect match. And before you refill your formulas, Prose will check in to see what they can tweak to make them even better.
If you’re committed to cruelty-free products & environmental sustainability…Prose
I’m not an animal rights activist, but for me, it’s common sense to just skip beauty products that test on animals. Plain and simple, Kérastase is not cruelty-free. Prose is cruelty-free. That solves that. 🐰
Prose is also more sustainable. While Kérastase has a statement on their website that they seek to offer refills, recycle plastic, and minimize waste, Prose is committed to addressing the problem at the source. By making everything to order, they avoid overproduction and all the waste that comes with it. They also encourage subscribers to reuse their shampoo and conditioner pumps instead of replacing them. Their natural ingredients are sustainably sourced, and they’re carbon-neutral. Heck to the yes.
If you want a salon shampoo…Kérastase
I know that for some folks out there, internet shampoo can sound new age and untrustworthy. Sometimes you need a recommendation from a human you know, and perhaps you’re more keen on putting your money in your hair stylist’s pocket than anywhere else. Love the local support!
If you’re like me, and you’ve been on what feels like a lifelong journey to let your locks reach their fullest potential of health, hydration, volume, and shine, a one-size-fits-all shampoo might not work for you. Consider Prose. Their 30-day satisfaction guarantee means you can make changes to your order or send it all back if you’re not super in love.
If you want to choose your own scent or no fragrance at all…Prose
Kérastase has a strong scent that isn’t for everyone, and it’s hard to ignore if you don’t love it. Prose, on the other hand, has 7 fragrance options to choose from (all made exclusively for them by French perfumiers), or you can just go fragrance-free. A fragrance-free option is huge for people who are sensitive to fragrance, and this isn’t an option with Kérastase.
To help you determine which you’ll like best, they’ve gathered a beautiful collection of descriptors, opinions from pros, musings, and more to paint the picture. I can say firsthand that when my Custom Shampoo and Conditioner with Botanica arrived, they smelled exactly how I hoped they might.
My winner is Prose
I respect a salon-loyalist, but I’m not her. I’m the one who is self-advocating for the best haircare for the mane I was given. Considering that Prose not only offers personalized products just for my needs, but they’re also cruelty-free and sustainable, they’ve got my business. I love that I can choose my own scent, and I appreciate that it arrives ready to use, no errand necessary!
