I discovered this brand after seeing an influencer with gorgeous, shiny hair that looked very similar to my own hair type, so I was excited to try the shampoo and conditioner for myself. I used both consistently for about two months. For reference, I have thick, 1C/2A virgin hair.
The shampoo worked fairly well for helping keep oil under control between washes, which I appreciated. I double-shampoo, and while it did the job, I found that it didn’t lather much and wasn’t especially clarifying on my hair. I think it may be a better fit for someone who uses fewer styling products or prefers a gentler, more natural formula. The rosemary scent had a bit more of a medicinal undertone than I expected. While I didn’t mind it in the shower, I personally found that it didn’t leave my hair smelling fresh between washes like other shampoos have. Shampoo: 6.5/10
The conditioner was a bit harder for me to work with. It has a thinner consistency, so I felt like I needed to use quite a bit to evenly distribute it through my hair. It felt a little too lightweight and didn’t give me quite the conditioning effect I personally look for. Conditioner: 4/10
Overall, my hair looked and felt about the same as it did before trying Lennon. I really appreciate the brand’s focus on natural ingredients and processes, and I could see these products working better for someone looking for a very lightweight, gentle routine. For me personally, I just couldn’t quite justify the cost and shipping time to repurchase.
