Proganix Quench Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-In Moisture & Moisture Balm




Proganix is a new pro-series hair care from the team who brought out the OGX line.
I was quite excited when I received the Quench (it is one of the six different ranges introduced) gift set because around that time I started seeing them at retailers like Ulta and Target and got curious as well.
To me, it seems that Proganix lineup is mostly about enhancements based on the existing OGX range since I see the popular fragrances like Coconut and Cherry Blossom adopted into the new range.
Quench line is similarly scented and has the same "hydrating" concept as OGX Coconut Milk stuff, but supposedly with amplified performance. Proganix Quench line contains coconut water and electrolytes to help hydrate and nourish dry hair.






Let me just say that this actual gift box with full sized items is much appreciated. 
Honestly, I hate dealing with sample packets especially when I am in a shower. I can't enjoy it no matter how great a hair care product is if my wet hands fail to open the packet that I end up using my teeth instead. 
(The joke aside, a sample should be in a form which enables us to enjoy and learn about the product. Period.)



1. Proganix Quench Shampoo & Conditioner


Both shampoo and conditioner smell like PiƱa colada; sweet, coconut-y and slightly tangy. The hint of citrus prevents the coconut scent from being too sweet, which I like. After blow-drying, my hair actually smells like freshly tumble-dried linen. LOVE.
The products themselves are pretty great, too. This sulfate-free shampoo is a pearly liquid that lathers creamy and cleanses well without the drying sensation afterward. The conditioner is very thick that it reminds me of scrumptious custard. It is intensely emollient, but it does not feel greasy and rinses off easily. 
The combination leaves each of my hair strands plumped up. My hair actually feels thicker when I comb through with my fingers. It feels bouncy rather than weighed down. I am not so sure how this combo would work on fine hair (although there is an option for that type), but I know I enjoy this "healthy" weight and volume.


2. Proganix Leave-In Moisture


You can use this multi-functioning spray in different ways. The instruction card suggests that before swimming in the pool you soak your hair completely then coat strands with Quench Leave-in Moisture to protect hair from harsh chemicals. I don't go swimming on a regular basis so I just spray this on towel-dried hair before I blow-dry. I also spritz another coat to add shine (and some more yumminess) after I finish. This is a great heat protectant and doubles as a weightless finisher.



3. Proganix Quench Moisture Balm


I think dry/processed hair types would appreciate this moisturizing hair balm more. The suggestion card says you can put a generous amount to hair and wrap it overnight, which I would never do because sleep is important to me. I have used it as a light hair mask before a shower, though. It makes my hair silky smooth, but I have been using it more to "sleek" my hair for an updo. I even tried it on my dry calves once. (It was fine.) 
Mineral oil and dimethicone are pretty up there on the ingredient list, so please be aware if you are sensitive to those.



If I can overlook the "200x more concentrated than its natural state" claim, Proganix Quench is excellent hair care regimen and welcome addition to my shower booth.
If you already are a fan of the OGX Coconut Milk line, you might want to check this out (and possibly tell me how they are different). 
For me, this introduction has been quite pleasant that I've gotten interested in trying additional stuff from Proganix.
