Boots Premium Hair Edit Beauty Box: An Overview
Boots has launched its Premium Hair Edit Beauty Box, a limited-edition collection of hair care products priced at £60. The box includes full-size and travel-size items from brands like Olaplex, Nioxin, and Color Wow, promising a total value of over £120. But does it deliver on value and quality?
What's Inside the Box?
The Boots Premium Hair Edit Beauty Box contains 10 products: Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector (100ml), Nioxin Cleanser Shampoo (300ml), Nioxin Scalp & Hair Conditioner (300ml), Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray (200ml), Percy & Reed Perfecting Elixir (50ml), Lee Stafford Coco Loco Hydrating Shampoo (250ml), Lee Stafford Coco Loco Hydrating Conditioner (250ml), and a selection of smaller sample sizes. The box is designed for various hair types, focusing on repair, volume, and shine.
Value for Money
According to Boots, the combined retail value of the products is £126, meaning customers save over 50% compared to buying separately. The Olaplex No.3 alone retails for £28, while the Nioxin duo costs around £30. For those already using these brands, the box offers significant savings. However, some items are travel sizes, which may reduce perceived value for some buyers.
Product Performance and Reviews
We tested the box over two weeks. The Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, a cult favorite for damaged hair, left hair feeling stronger and smoother after one use. The Nioxin system, aimed at thinning hair, provided a refreshing tingle and added volume. Color Wow Dream Coat gave a sleek, frizz-free finish, though results varied by hair type. The Percy & Reed elixir added shine without weighing hair down. Lee Stafford's Coco Loco range smelled pleasant but performed similarly to drugstore alternatives.
One tester with fine, oily hair noted that the Nioxin shampoo was too stripping, while another with dry, curly hair loved the moisturizing conditioner. Overall, the box caters to a range of needs but may not suit everyone.
Comparison to Other Beauty Boxes
Compared to other premium beauty boxes like Lookfantastic or Glossybox, the Boots offering is more focused on hair care. While Lookfantastic boxes often include makeup and skincare, Boots' edit is targeted at hair enthusiasts. The value is competitive, especially for Olaplex fans, but the lack of diversity may deter those seeking a mix.
Final Verdict
The Boots Premium Hair Edit Beauty Box is a good deal for those who regularly use high-end hair products. The savings are genuine, and the included brands are reputable. However, if you have specific hair concerns or prefer a broader range of products, this box might not be the best fit. It's a limited edition, so interested buyers should act quickly.
