Evo: Haircare Products and More

Evo's cheeky packaging had me wondering what the brand was all about. Their overall concept is to cleanse, repair and strengthen your hair. 

I had the pleasure of sampling ritual salvation ($24, repairing shampoo), ritual salvation ($24, repairing conditioner) and mane event ($25, protein treatment). They were specifically targeted for my color treated hair yet they have an extensive line of other options. They all smelled delightful and left my hair feeling shiny and smooth.
