Reviews - Naked Shine Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner. Naked Style Extra Shiny Finishing Serum


I have been on a real mission to restore shine to my recent lacklustre, straw like hair. During the past few months I have been trying out lots of hair care products and am looking forward to sharing with you the products that have made a real difference.

Being an impatient kind of person I love products that provide instant results and the Naked Let It Shine Trio certainly do this.

The Let It Shine Trio are made up of the following products

Naked Shine Honey & Mallow Hydrating Shampoo (for normal to dry hair) 
Naked Shine Buttermilk & Green Tea Hydrating Conditioner (for normal to dry hair)
Naked Style Extra Shiny Finishing Serum 

Bought as the trio direct from the Naked website they cost just £9 which is incredible value for the results that they give. That said, the products bought on their own are still remarkable value for natural products.

Naked Shine Honey & Mallow Hydrating Shampoo (for normal to dry hair)  - £3.99 for 250ml




Naked say -

To shine and dazzle, the hair cuticles needs to be moisturised. We use honey & mallow extracts to target ares of dryness, quenching hair and helping to keep it hydrated.

My thoughts -

The Shampoo comes in the traditional Naked packaging, a push down lid dispenser. The product is a clear runny fluid and has a light, fresh scent. It doesn't lather up much on first application but will second time round if you do wash your hair twice.

I have been making a real effort to use SLS free shampoos and conditioners and have found that my psoriasis is under control, my head is a lot less itchy than it was previously, so I will continue to seek out and use these products.

Naked Shine Buttermilk & Green Tea Hydrating Conditioner (for normal to dry hair) - £3.99 for 250ml




Naked say - 


To shine and dazzle, hair needs to be smooth enough to reflect light. We use buttermilk and green tea extracts which help to improve elasticity of the cuticle and improve glossiness, giving your hair a diamond-like shine.


My thoughts - 

Out of the trio of products the conditioner was my favourite to use. I absolutely love the slight zingyness scent of green tea and this is fantastically refreshing (Think Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, mmm). It has a good, thick and creamy consistency and applies to the hair like a dream. I know that a conditioner is working for my hair when I rinse it off and it leaves my hair smooth and silky to the touch when still wet, I hope you know what I mean by this!

After the very first time of using this combination of products and drying it with a hairdryer and styling it with a styling toolmy hair looked healthier, felt beautifully soft to touch and was sleek and shiny. I was very impressed with the instant results and have been using the shampoo and conditioner ever since.


Naked Style Extra Shiny Finishing Serum - £4.99 for 50ml





Naked say -


Beautiful things come in small packages and this little gem brings instant shine and radiance, putting the sparkle back in your hair. Silicone free formulation.

My thoughts - 

To be used after styling on dry hair, this serum is perfect for taming flyaway hair. My son has a habit of playing with my long hair, but not at the ends which wouldn't be so bad but he twiddles and breaks the top of my hair! Consequently the hair on the top of my head has a mind of its own and this sorts it out marvelously. One pump is enough to work through all my hair giving it a nice gleaming finish.

From the pic above you can see the serum has a fine shimmer to it, but don't worry you will not look like you have applied glitter to your hair! It has a pleasant, faint scent of peaches.

To sum up - products that do the job they have been designed for at an affordable price.

All Naked products are free from sulphates, parabens or petrochemicals.

Ooh La La Naked - Coco De Mer Body Wash - Review



Naked is a brand that has appeared on BeautySwot before, I really like their Up Tone Girl Gentle Toner and my son uses the products created for kids.

I was recently sent a few more products from their range to review and first up is the Ooh La La Coco De Mer Body Wash.


Naked say -

Moisturising coconut derivatives and passion flower extract produce a creamy lather leaving your naked skin irresistible to touch.

My thoughts -

Ooh La La is a rich and creamy body wash, coming out in a soft pink tinged shimmer. It has a pleasant sweet scent, with a subtle hint of coconut. Lathering nicely it feels nice and luxurious, leaving skin feeling wonderfully soft after bathing and smelling good.

All in all, this provides a pleasurable bathing experience.

I always judge a product on whether I reach out to use it again and with Ooh La La, I want to use it again and again. This won't be left on the bathroom shelf.




Naked products are 97% natural, free of sulphates, parabens or petrochemicals.

I have yet to try a Naked product I haven't liked, if you haven't tried this brand, I recommend that you do!

Ooh La La Naked - Coco De Mer Body Wash costs £3.99 for 250ml

Naked - Up Tone Girl Gentle Toner



I rarely venture from my beloved Boots Traditional Glycerin and Rosewater Toner but as I was very kindly sent this to try along with the Naked Thirst Aid 12 Hour Moisturiser I was willing to give it a go.

Naked Up Tone Girl Toner is suitable for sensitive skin, is fragrance and alcohol free. Main ingredients are Witch Hazel (wasn't that the stuff they used when you grazed your skin at Primary School ?) and Glycerin. Also contains Calendula extract (a flower) which is known for treating some skin conditions in a cream form..

I also love that the toner is 97% natural - free of SLS and Parabens.

My first impressions were that the packaging was a bit dull and industrial looking but of course if the product works, it doesn't matter too much!

The second impression was that I loved the scent, now it says that it is fragrance free which I now know means that there may be a scent from the natural ingredients used. That has baffled me in the past...The scent is lovely, actually reminds me of Persian sweets provided at weddings!

Easy to use bottle that means you can squeeze the right amount out


Using this toner leaves me feeling refreshed, clean and my skin soft, very nice indeed.

All in all, I recommend this toner and I will definitely be purchasing it. I am looking forward to trying other products in the range, especially the bath products.

Unfortunately the moisturiser was too rich for me :-( Which is a real shame as it has the same gorgeous scent that the toner has. I have given it to my sister to try so she will be doing a guest post on it shortly..

Naked Up Tone Girl Toner costs £4.49 for 200ml and is available from Boots stores.

Have you tried any products from the Naked range ?
