I Tried Customized Shampoo And It Changed My Life

It really is worth it to personalize the products that go on your head.

I Tried Customized Shampoo And It Changed My Life
Julie Boino

A few months ago, I started to see ads on Facebook for personalized shampoo and conditioner. You choose what you want the products to do for your hair and they are supposed to make a huge difference. Sounds a little too good to be true, right? Well, I'm here to tell you they actually do work! And they don't cost a fortune either.

The shampoo and conditioner are made by Function of Beauty. As stated on their website, their products are made in the USA and are cruelty-free! Their products are also free of sulfates, parabens, and toxins! These were all big pluses for me, so I decided to give it a try.

You start the process by completing a hair quiz. You choose your hair type, hair structure, and scalp moisture.



You pick five hair goals. Basically what you want the products to do for your hair.


Next, you decided what color you want the shampoo and conditioner to be and how they smell.


You also type in your name and they print it on the bottles!

Then you selected the sizes for the bottles. You can get both shampoo and conditioner, or just one or the other. They have a variety of sizes to choose from. The prices aren't too high in comparison to salon brands. Shipping is also free! I ordered the 16oz bottles of each.


It took around four weeks for my shampoo and conditioner to arrive. I ordered them the first week of December and received them right after Christmas. They did send me an email saying my order would be delayed due to the holidays, which was nice. They even offered to cancel the order in exchange for a gift card for the purchase amount in case these were gifts. I appreciate a company with fantastic customer service.

The shampoo and conditioner came in a pretty teal blue box. I was so excited to see it on my doorstep. The bottles are bigger than I thought and the colors are so vibrant! Also, my name is on the bottle! Shoutout to whoever thought of that!


It also came with a little pamphlet with directions on how to use the shampoo and conditioner, as well as descriptions of each hair goal.


I have been using the Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say I have seen a difference in my hair. It is way softer and definitely less frizzy. I wash my hair every other day, and I find that I don't really need to use dry shampoo as much on day two (except for my bangs). My ends seem smoother and my hair is very shiny.

I don't find myself using much of the product either. I use two pumps (it comes with the pumps) of shampoo (twice) and two pumps of conditioner. I was worried about it running out fast, but I don't think that will be the case. It also smells really nice; it has a natural, fresh scent that isn't too overpowering. I was a little worried about the mint. I have used mint shampoo before and it had a really strong tingling feeling, but that is not present with these. The shampoo requires a little water for it to lather up, but it lathers up quite a bit, especially during the second wash.

I would definitely recommend trying out Function of Beauty's shampoo and conditioner! Sometimes it is hard to find hair products that will do everything we want, while still being affordable. And if you don't like it, they will reformulate it for you or you can return it for free.

Here's to having a good hair day every day!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
