For extra smooth and silky soft hair Oct 29, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| This product contains B
Complex vitamins, instead of
just the usual E or A that are
in many high end shampoos.
Said to provide softness to
the texture of ones hair, but
strength against breakage,
this shampoo did seem to leave
my hair very smooth and
incredibly soft and silky. The
special pear scent was very
luscious and smelled really
natural and lightly fruity,
not artificial at all. The
consistency of the shampoo is
also very rich and thick, and
the product foamed up easily
and was easy to rinse out. My
hair smelled especially clean
and the feel while wet was not
at all slick or sticky. I
decided to forego conditioner
to see if the product did
indeed give added shine and
softness to my hair without
other conditioning, and I was
pleasantly surprised at the
nice body, smoothness, super
glow sheen, and lovely feel
after drying and styling. I
would recommend this shampoo
to anyone who strives for the
straight, ultra smooth styles,
especially those with long
hair with a fine texture. |

Super Shine with leave-in detangling and conditioning Oct 29, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| This is one of the better
quality leave-in spray on
conditioners that also works
as a detangler. It has a light
scent, very spring like and
natural, and helps
tremendously for hair that
tangles easily, especially
after shampooing. I spray a
very light fine mist on my
hair while turning my head
downward so that all the hair
is coated just slightly with
the product and then also mist
a small quick spritz on my
hair brush and then comb
through gently. It works
especially well on the ends of
hair or nape of the neck where
your hair tends to knot up,
especially after vigorous
sudsing and rinsing during
your shampoo process. The
product leaves my hair
extremely manageable, but not
at all sticky, and after blow
or air drying, my fine hair is
very shiny and full of body,
but still soft, sleek and
straight looking. The added
high quality conditioning
ingredients makes this a
two-in-one product and saves a
lot of time on busy mornings.
Does not seem to build up on
hair or leave it oily looking.

Rich and exotic conditioning for your dry, stressed hair Oct 28, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| I purchased Graham Webb Back
To Basics Raspberry Almond
Strengthening Conditioner
along with the shampoo, and
find that I can follow up with
this product with each
shampoo, or skip a week of
conditioning, as either works
well for my fine hair. The
scent is delicious and rich,
the sweet almond oil providing
the top notes and the tangy
tart raspberry following as a
lighter background note. The
conditioner has ingredients
especially formulated to
enrich hair and provide
ultra-hydration, even down to
penetrating the hair follicle
so that hair is stronger and
holds moisture better for
longer periods of time. For
tired, over-stressed or
damaged hair, this product is
perfect and is also safe for
use on color-treated hair. The
product has an exotic rich
scent and consistency, very
thick and silky soft, but
rinses clean, leaving the hair
satiny, with added body, high
sheen, and the look of thicker
fuller hair, even for those
with fine hair like mine.
Slightly expensive, but
ultimately worth it. |

Delicious aroma and quality ingredients for your hair Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

A wonderful quality shampoo
with the scent of raspberry
and almond, this Graham Web
Strengthening Shampoo is a
treat for almost any hair type
or texture, although
specifically designed for
damaged or chemically treated
hair. It also contains natural
clover blossom extracts and
botanical emollients which
work together to leave your
hair super soft and with added
volume, shine and moisture. It
has a rich sweet almond scent,
with just a hint of the citrus
burst of raspberry and it
lathers up well, even with
just a small amount. My hair
seemed to have some added
volume, a silky sheen, and a
really healthy appearance even
after just one shampoo. A
perfect addition to a girls
hair care regimen, this
shampoo has only the best top
quality ingredients with the
ability to infuse the hair
with moisture, while still
providing a superlative
cleansing. Ideal for all ages
and those with tired or dull
hair, the product is slightly
expensive, but well worth the
extra spent if you want only
the best.

Ultra deep cleansing for oily hair Oct 28, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| One of my husbands favorite
shampoos, this high quality
product is perfect for those
with excessively oily hair or
scalp, but who do not want to
strip their hair of its
natural oils or cause it to
dry out completely. Paul
Mitchell Shampoo Two is
designed specifically to
address these problems while
still providing conditioning
and rich shine and strength
for the hair follicle and
shaft. It lathers up very rich
and cleans exceptionally well,
while removing build-up of
seborrheac oil, urban
pollution, and any styling
products left over on the
hair. It is an especially good
shampoo for use by smokers, as
it leaves the hair very fresh
smelling after shampooing and
can be used daily to prevent
the smell of cigarette or
cigar smoke from clinging to
your hair as much and building
up. My husband likes that his
hair is still healthy looking
after using this product
regularly, and that the
shampoo keeps your hair still
hydrated and soft, yet super
clean and shiny, and with good
body and texture. |

Deep Cleansing and clarifying shampoo Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| One of the higher quality
shampoos, Nolita Moisturizing
Shampoo gives you a very deep
and clarifying cleansing for
dry, damaged, abused,
over-styled, or just plain
tired hair. Lathers up really
well, feels especially nice to
the scalp, and rinses ultra
clean. This product is
top-notch for use while
traveling or just as a
specialty shampoo when your
hair starts to look or feel
drab, dull, or just not up to
its best in appearance or
texture. The product provides
hydration even down to the
hair cuticle and gives the
hair a nourishing, rich
botanical treatment that
removes environmental
contaminants and build-up from
styling products such as gels
or sprays, or heat damage from
hot rollers, curling or flat
irons, and blow dryers.
Especially good for a once
weekly super cleanse if you
work in closed-in office
environments where the air is
stale, or after shopping or
outdoors where pollution is
particularly high. The product
left my hair super clean,
soft, and with a healthy shine
and bounce. |

Light, silky detangler for shiny, healthy hair Oct 28, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| When I was in elementary
school, my Mom always used a
product on my my hair after
shampooing that was called a
creme rinse. This product,
Matrix Essentials Simply Silk
Detangling Rinse is very light
and very similar in texture
and consistency, but with more
up-to-date ingredients to give
hair a healthy shine and
incredibly silky feel. This
product is completely oil
free, so it will not leave
your hair with that dull,
greasy or sticky slickness
that many detangling products
do. The product also contains
silk proteins which are
beneficial to the hair and
help your comb or brush slide
through the hair without
breakage. This product was one
of my all-time favorites to
use for both detangling and
mild conditioning as it left
my hair very soft and silky,
with no weighing down, and has
a clean, fresh non-perfume
scent. I especially liked that
the ends of my hair seemed to
split much less between trims
and my hair appeared very
smooth and frizz-free. A
healthy alternative to most
detanglers! |

Super nice plum scented hair care with botanical extracts Oct 28, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| Having purchased both the
Graham Webb Back to Basics
Vanilla Plum Shampoo, and also
the Conditioner, I will review
both. The cleansing shampoo
contains all natural
surfactants and is very
gentle, yet throrough, for
dry, fine or damaged hair.
Following up with the
conditioner, which is ultra
rich and rinses out well, I
towel dried and combed out my
hair, and found it to be very
soft and shiny. The Vanilla
Plum conditioner has a very
aromatic scent, and left my
hair wihout the need for a
detangler. Both products offer
added moisture, volume, and
are color-safe. The
conditioner does not seem to
build up on your hair, which
causes dullness. The bottles
say both products are
non-petroleum based, and the
ingredients are natural
botanicals which hydrate and
maintain healthy, strong hair
and prevent breakage. I felt
the Graham Webb Back to Basics
Vanilla Plum Conditioner, as
well as the shampoo, did an
excellent job. I would
recommend them for almost any
age group, regardless of hair
type. |

A very different lightly scented lotion with aloe Oct 28, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| Pear is a favorite of the
fruit scents for me and this
aromatherapy body lotion,
which is very lightweight, has
that beautiful soft, sweet
pear scent. As one of the many
Creative Scentsations lotions
I have tried, this one was
very unique in the fragrance,
which has the more subdued
bottom note of dandelion
flowers. The aromatic lotion
itself is not a heavy cream or
balm, but an extremely light
and easy to absorb product,
leaving the skin moisturized
and ultra soft. The only
drawback of note is that the
scent somewhat bothered my
husband, who has nasal
allergies, so this might not
be a product I would recommend
for those with sinus problems
or allergic reactions to some
scents. The lotion contains
vitamins A and E, which are
nutrients needed for skin
renewal and hydration, with
aloe, which is beneficial for
skin sensitivity, as it is a
natural anti-inflammatory.
Aloe also calms and plumps the
skin tissue giving it a more
youthful and fresh appearance
and helps skin retain
moisture. |

Rich and exotic tropical blend body lotion Oct 22, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| Another of the Creative
Scentsations lotions that I
received in a gift pack, this
one is a very fruity, rich
tropical blend. Since I love
mangos, I felt sure that this
lotion would be a favorite,
however, although it is really
a nice treat for occasional
use, it was not one of my top
picks of those in the pack.
The mango was not very obvious
in the scent, but the coconut
and something similar to a
banana scent seemed more like
the top notes. Very
interesting and quite
different, though, and would
be good for summer wear or
whenever daydreaming of warmer
climates or exotic beaches.
The lotion formula itself is
very light but moisturizes
well, providing hydration to
the skin without leaving a
film or any unpleasant feel.
More of an ultra-lighweight
daytime body lotion that could
be used as a pick-me-up
aromatherapy, this product is
great for travel or just to
carry in your purse for a
quick and light scented treat
for your skin. Perfect for any
age, this one would also make
a nice gift. |

Light weight leave-in detangler/conditioner with aloe Oct 22, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| Since I have been using
conditioning treatments after
having my hair lightened, I do
not like layering products so
have almost given up
detanglers. This one is still
a must-have for me as it can
be used to spot detangle your
hair on the base of the neck,
around the temples, or on just
the ends. Since it contains
silcone to produce ultra
shine, I prefer not to use it
regularly as silicone does
build up on the hair,
necessitating the use of a
clarifying shampoo at least
once weekly. For conditioning,
the product does have the
addition of aloe and the
natural scent and benefits of
rosemary. Since it does not
have to used all over the
hair, and is a leave-in
product, I just apply a small
amount to my brush or comb and
spot detangle where needed.
The Bain de Terre Sea Mist
Detangler has a very clean
botanical type smell that does
not linger or seem to conflict
with other scented products
you may be using. It makes my
brush glide easily through
hair, produces a nice shine
and very soft feel. |

Holds your blond color and prevents fading Oct 22, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| Since I have beige and pale
blond highlights in my hair, I
purchased Artec Color Line
Lemon Flower Shampoo, as it
claims to prevent color fading
or loss, and helps hold the
color much longer than other
products. Formulated from
vegetable and plant based
ingredients, the product says
that it prevents oxidation,
nourishes the hair, and is a
low PH formula. I really liked
the super soft feel of my hair
after using this product, the
nice clarity of tones of the
blond streaks, without the
expected yellowing, which is
often caused by the chemical
products used to lighten your
hair. It produces a nice rich
lather during the shampoo
process and does not require
much of the product to get
ones hair clean. After
rinsing, I followed up with
the Moisturizing treatment in
the same line. My hair came
out after blow drying with a
great shine, bright and true
color tones, very soft and
silky, both in appearance and
feel, and with a nice light
clean scent left on the hair.
Lots of body and bounce,too! |

Nice all around deep cleansing shampoo Oct 15, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| This shampoo is another I
purchased at my salon as the
name was unique and
interesting and its supposed
benefits were many. Even at
the price for the large 32
ounce size, however, its a bit
expensive for a general use
shampoo, although it does give
a really deep down clean to
both the scalp and hair. It
does not lather up very much,
so if you like a low suds
shampoo, you will find this
one to be a very choice. It
removes build up left from
styling products such as gels,
setting and fixing sprays, or
daily conditioners, without
stripping the hair of natural
moisture. The product does
contain mint and chamomile,
alhtough the fragrance is more
of a citrus aroma, although
light and breezy, very
invigorating, and really fresh
and spring like. After several
uses, my hair was still very
soft and natural feeling, the
texture good and extremely
touchable, with a high shine
detectable, yet without any
feel of the product left
behind on the hair. A good
overall quality shampoo, super
cleansing. |

Very smooth and straight texture after using Oct 15, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

I purchased the Matrix Sleek
Look Smoothing shampoo after
seeing a short article with ad
promoting the product in Star
magazine. Previously I had
tried their Matrix Biolage
shampoo and really loved it,
as it contained sage and ginko
biloba, both of which are
extremely beneficial for
improving the texture of your
hair. Although this particular
shampoo in the Sleek Look line
does work very well on my
hair, providing a very smooth
and straight style without any
frizz, curls or waves, I was
disappointed that upon
examining the ingredients, I
found that it contains mostly
lab chemicals, as the only
natural ingredient I could see
in this product was shea
butter, which is most likely
what helps it smooth and
straighten the hair so well.
It does lather up rich, rinses
super clean, and overall it
provided a very sleek and soft
feel to my hair after blow
drying it. I would have rated
it higher probably if I had
not looked at the ingredient
label, as to be honest it did
perform as advertised.

Gentle everyday shampoo for extra shine Oct 15, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| I purchased this shampoo
directly from my salon
primarily because of the PM
brand name and also that it
was designed for very fine
hair. I did like it quite well
except that it does require a
second shampoo since its very
gentle and does not lather or
suds up a lot. The bottle says
it contains chamomile,
rosemary, aloe, and jojoba
oils, and an ingredient I was
not familiar with, Hawaiian
awapuhi, which is supposed to
add extra shine, especially,
along with softness and
manageability. Safe to use on
chemically treated hair, it
did seem to add moisture and
keep my hair very nice and
easy to style. I would
recommend it to almost anyone
with fine, or medium hair who
likes to shampoo more often,
even every day, as this is
safe to use regularly and will
not dry out hair nor build up
and cause dulling. I
especially liked that,
although my hair felt really
squeaky clean after
shampooing, it did not have
fly-aways or static. I rate
this product with a medium to
high rating for all family
use. |

almost any hair type. We leave
it out in the bath as a

while visiting our home
overnight and several have

well it cleanses. It has an
array of healthy vitamins
added which help protect the
hair folicle and really

as providing a really good
clarifying cleasing
experience. I was impressed
with how well it lathers and
the soft foam it produces
while shampooing and yet it
rinses very well, even in cool
water, which I prefer to use
as I believe it helps seal the
hair. This shampoo has a
non-offensive smell, which is
nice for a change, as most
shampoos smell of some
chemical or other. Both my
husband and I like this
shampoo as a change of pace to
use between regular favorites
and we feel it works very well
on both his thick coarse hair
and my fine delicate hair, yet
is gentle enough for any type. |

VERY BEST DEEP CLEANING & CLARIFYING SHAMPOO Oct 14, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

If you are looking for the
very best of clarifying
shampoos, Redken Hair
Cleansing Cream Shampoo is
my
personal favorite. It
contains
fruit acids that purify
hair
and work to remove residue
so
often left behind on the
hair
by other shampoos,
conditioners and styling
type
products. All these
products
build up over time and
cause
my hair to appear dull and
lifeless, so I alternate my
regular favorite shampoos
with
this one, and try to use it
at
least every two weeeks to
provide optimum deep
cleansing. The product
labeling says it contains
copper chelators which
dissolve and remove metals
such as copper, irons, and
other minerals left on the
hair if you have hard water
in
your area. I find it leaves
my
hair very shiny, with a
nice
clean feel and texture, and
incredibly refreshed
looking.
Used regularly between
other
products, it makes my hair
feel and appear much more
healthy and clean. I also
love
the tingly eye-opening citrus
aroma of
the shampoo.

second favorite was this one,
Creative Scentsations Citrus &
Green Tea Lotion, which offers
the benefits of a natural skin
care lotion with Vitamin E,
aloe, and green tea with the
tangy front note scent of
citrus peel. I thought the two
aroma blends went really well
together and gave this product
a unique lightly herbal garden
smell without any floral
tones, and the lotion also
left my skin feeling very soft
and natural. This moisturizer,
as well as being a form of
aroma therapy, really hydrates
the skin well and plumps up
tissue for a silkier and
younger touch to the skin,
especially around elbows,
ankles, and knees. I really
enjoy traveling with this
lotion, as well as the body
wash, as it seems to refresh,
revitalize and restore oxygen
to both the skin, and the
spirit, with its unique blend
of green tea and citrus! |

One of my very favoites is

The nutmeg scent of this one
is really unique and I use the
scented lotion as a stand
alone light fragrance, leaving
my skin soft and touchable.
The lotions contain vitamins A
and E, and especially good for
parched and dry
skin, the addition of Aloe
Vera makes this product not
only a rich scented light
lotion but a therapeautic
treatment as well. It absorbs
well into the skin and leaves
a silky smooth baby
texture, with no stickiness or
greasy feel that many lotions
often do. The black cherry and
nutmeg go so well together,
the citrus of the cherry
balancing out the spicy warm
nutmeg! |

Shampoo is one of my favorite,
regularly used shampoos, as it
is very mild, does not leave a
residue like many do, and can
be used for fine or delicate
hair on a daily basis, if
needed. Lathers up really well
and rinses out completely,
leaving my hair with a little
added volume, silkiness, and a
nice texture. A very light
ginger fragrance is left on
the hair which is reminiscent
of a botanical garden or a
sunny, springtime meadow. I
love that the product contains
chamomile, which is really
good for the hair, balancing
its natural moisture level.
The bottle says it contains
arnica and birch, which are
two other natural botanical
essences which help soften and
smooth the hair ends, in a
more natural way. My hair is
very fine and this seemed to
give it a much nicer feel and
weight and kept it from
appearing as flat and dull.
Most botanical shampoos are
very expensive but this one is
reasonably priced and a very
high quality shampoo which I
rated five stars. |

Excellent regular conditioning for all hair types Oct 14, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| In the past year, before
adding highlights to my hair,
I had used several shampoos
and conditoners in the Bain de
Terre line, and this one, the
White Clover Conditioner was a
favorite. I liked that it
could be used regularly and
did not seem to produce a
dulling build up on my hair. I
usually shampooed with a
different cleansing product
each week chosen from the
line, or sometimes even other
product lines, and then
followed up with this
conditoner at least twice a
week. It always left my hair
satiny soft and easy to
manage, with control of
electro-static, which is
especially common in winter
with fine hair such as mine.
The white clover leaves a very
ultra light scent which does
not intrude at all with your
regular cologne or perfume. No
slick feel to my hair, even
when used often, the product
seems to moisturize the hair
shaft and protect my hair from
damage done by my wearing
little hats in the winter, or
damage from the sun and wind
in the spring and summer. Very
nicely priced, too. |

Graham Webb Ice Cap
Revitalizing Shampoo as he has
slightly oily hair and scalp
which he shampoos in the
shower every day. He lovess
that this product cleans his
hair so well but does not
strip out all the natural
healthy oils. The menthol
tingle, he says, is his
favorite thing about the
shampoo along with the ease of
use and the nice clean fresh
aroma which is very non-gender
oriented. His hair is always
dark and shiny, very soft and
silky, easy to style, as well
as extremely manageable, which
is everything one could hope
for in a daily, healthy
shampoo that provides a deep
down clean, even right to the
scalp. I used it myself
several times and felt it
provided a gentle, yet very
thorough cleansing which would
work for almost any type hair.
The light menthol leaves your
hair very squeaky clean and
fresh feeling as if it had
been treated with a special
invigorating tonic, but after
drying the hair, no lingering
smell was detectable. A fine
shampoo for all! |

| This is the third of the
products I use in this line
and the one I save for really
deep intensive moisturizing
and conditioning since it
penetrates the skin the very
best if left on overnight. I
use it on weekends when I can
devote a little more time to
my hand and body care. After a
nice relaxing warm tub soak, I
gently towel off and then
massage the balm into my
hands, knuckles, elbows, as
well as feet, ankles, and
around cuticles. I sleep
wearing white cotton socks and
cotton gloves, both of which
can be washed out the next day
with the regular laundry as
this product does not leave an
oily residue. Overnight the
balm seems to soothe, deeply
condition and moisturize
deepdown the dryest areas of
skin. Containing really
healthy, good for your skin
ingredients such as sweet
almond oil, jojoba oil, along
with vitamin E, the product
provides what skin needs for
intense hydration. The balm
also contains rice bran, which
has been used for centuries in

Rich, healthy moisturizing for overly dry, sensitive hands Oct 13, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| I use this product as a follow
up to using the Solar Manicure
in the same line, which
exfoliates and prepares my
hands and body for extra deep
moisturizing and conditioning
that this product provides. I
use it at night before bed on
hands, elbows, ankles, and
feet, and then apply a lighter
coating to hands again the
next morning. A very rich and
thick product, it leaves your
hands feeling extremely soft
and silky smooth. The vitamin
E and almond oil contained in
the products in this line are
exceptionally good for the
skin and keep it stay healthy,
with shea butter adding
further benefits. I really
like this product as it does
not have a strong odor nor
leave a greasy feel to the
skin, just a very soft satin
like texture. Its therapeutic
effacy when compared to other
balm or butter skin care
products is far superior in my
opinion and those who have
itchiness from very dry skin,
or soreness around the
cuticles, knuckles, knees or
ankles will find dramatic
improvement with regular use. |

Exfoliate and prep your hands and elbows Oct 13, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| I purchased a threesome of
this line and I start off with
this product after a gentle
cleansing of my hands. I love
that it exfoliates the skin
and softens roughness on hands
and elbows, especially. It has
a very nice and soft almond
scent and the almond oil it
contains, along with vitamins
and jojoba oil help condition
and prepare the hands, elbows,
and even the feet, for a full
treatment, although it does
work really well alone without
using further products. I pay
close attention to my
knuckles, elbows and around
the cuticle area and massage
the product in slowly and
completely in circles. I
noticed since using this that
my hands and elbows are much
less dry and do not crack,
even if I have my hands in
paints or glues while teaching
school, or in cleaning
chemicals at home. I
especially like it for use
after swimming in summer or
for the winter months when my
hands seem much more dry and
sensitive. The skin seems more
clear and healthy looking with
a silky feel which I really
love! |

Added softness, shine and moisture for highlighted hair Oct 11, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739
|
| This conditioning teatment was
recommended by my hairdresser
as a follow up to the shampoo
in this same line. The
conditioning brings out the
brightness and shine of the
new highlights while
protecting my hair from drying
damage done by the chemicals
used to lighten the strands.
It helps detangle my long
hair, too, and leaves my hair
very soft, but not greasy or
feeling like conditioners
usually do that build up and
make my hair dull looking.
This only takes a small amount
and works into the hair
strands easily but does not
leave any residue feel left
behind. My hair seems to have
not changed texture any from
the highlighting and still
feels and looks really natural
and healthy after using this
conditioning treatment
following the shampoo in the
same hair care line. I also
like that it did not leave any
smell behind since my husband
has allergies and usually
complains. Expecting some
build-up from this
conditioner, as with any
product, I was also pleased
and suprised it left none. |

Adds protection and brightness for highlights Oct 11, 2006
|
reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

I have very light brown,
fine
and long hair and recently
had
highlights put in, with the
accents done in a light
blond
shade, which my hairdresser
said would stay brighter
and
would last longer if cared
for
properly. She recommended
this
shampoo and a follow up
treatment and I have been
using it for over a month
now,
followed by the
conditioning,
and it leaves my hair with
a
great shine and the new
highlights are still very
soft
and true in color. The
shampoo
protects the ends of my
hair
and the hair shaft, keeps
the
color treated strands from
fading, and prevents drying
out and loss of texture
that
often happens to hair that
has
been lightened with
chemicals.
The shampoo can be used
regularly and does a good
job
of cleansing my hair
without
stripping it of moisture,
body, or softness. I have
also
noticed I have less static
in
my hair than usual which I
think is an added bonus of
using this along with the
follow up conditioning.
Really
great quality shampoo in
this
line of products!! |
