DESSANGE Paris Oleo Miracle Replenishing System

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

I received full-sized bottles of DESSANGE Paris Oleo Miracle Replenishing shampoo, conditioner, and oil from Influenster last week and tried the products over the weekend.
The pros - I absolutely LOVE the scent. It's difficult to explain, but it's a sweet, woodsy scent that smells natural - not soapy or perfumy. I also love the way it lathered, and especially how soft the lather was. It didn't feel harsh as some other shampoos do. It was very silky going on.
I let my hair air dry after using all three of the products, and after it was completely dry my hair felt very soft. It looked shiny too.
The cons - First of all, disclaimer - I have VERY thick hair, and a lot of it. What may not work for me may work for you if you have hair of a different texture and length. But this was my experience.
Even with using the conditioner and oil, I experienced many more flyaways than usual. More than I experienced in dry winter months. Even after using my straightener, they were still there, which I found very odd.
Next, the oil did indeed make my hair soft - but it also made the top part of my head look oily. Oddly enough, it didn't FEEL oily, but it looked like I hadn't even washed that part. I washed it a second day, using the shampoo and conditioner and skipping the oil, and though I still had the same amount of flyaways, the oily problem was gone.
The third issue I had was the price. As mentioned above, I received all the items for free. But each item, which can be found at Target, range from $9.99 to $11.99 (as of March 16, 2015). If you want the entire set, you will pay $31.97. Though pricey, it would be understandable if the bottles were larger. But at a little over 8 ounces for the shampoo, I just can't see myself spending that much for a product that doesn't properly manage my hair. I HAVE spent more on hair care, but I saw incredible results from those products.
If your main concern is dry hair, then I would definitely give this system a try. It could work for you. I wish it had worked better for me.
