Before I start my review I would like to preface that this is the first professional hair care line I have personally purchased. That being said, I not only will recommended this to others, but I have. When I was searching for new hair products I wanted them to not only be thoughtful and beneficial to my hair, but also to the planet. I appreciate how Jonathan and his team have spent time and effort on not only the product but the packaging itself. I appreciate and admire how forward they are about their mission and stance on not only the world but hair care. Being rather new to hair care, I appreciate that he not only provides amazing descriptions on how to use his products but also shares videos and tips. These are very helpful for someone who is new (like myself) to the world of hair. I really enjoy the hair oils and the instant recovery serum. I can not only feel a difference after using them, but I can see a huge difference with the thickness and shine in my hair. I purchased both hair oils, the hydrating shampoo, the repair conditioner and the instant recovery serum. They came rather fast, however, I am located in California which might be the reason. Never the less I appreciate that they are focused on the planet even when it comes to shipping. I have been using these products for a few months now and I really enjoy the smell and the way they make my hair feel. Personally, my hair type is thin, wavy/straight and professionally bleached. I found that I really only need to wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week. Before using JVN I would have to wash my hair almost every other day. My scalp would constantly itch and seemed to collect build up extremely fast. The pre-wash hair oil has been my ride or die and since using it, my scalp does not get itchy until day 4 or 5. However, my favorite product is the conditioner. I love the way it hydrates and repairs my hair. I have noticed a difference in the way my hair stays hydrated and is less frizzy. My hair does feel thicker and healthier. When I first purchased the products, I made it a point to get my hair cut to see how long it can maintain that "paintbrush" like feel. So far The only critique I currently have is the shampoo. While I love the shampoo and enjoy the way it makes my hair feel, I have a hard time feeling like its cleaning my hair. It does not lather until you wash it twice and it sometimes will leave my hair feeling half washed or overly washed. I have adjusted and tried to find the perfect amount for my hair, but so far I'm still struggling to find the perfect amount. All-in-all I have enjoyed my experience with JVN and will be purchasing more in the future.

I would love to see different product sizes and some new specific bundles. As someone with blonde hair I would love to see a product that will help maintain my bright blonde and help keep the brassy colors away. I also would love to see some products geared towards people with fine or wavy/straight hair. While curly hair is all the rage currently, its hard to find products that do not make my hair overly oily or dry. All in all I love and adore this brand and I'm very thankful for the team of creators who have gone above and beyond to formulate such a beautiful and outstanding product.
