I have very oily skin and hair, I always have, ever since puberty and it doesn't seem to be letting up with age. As I've been battling to find a decent shampoo, someone recommended this clafiying shampoo, so I thought I'd give it a go.
The shampoo comes in a simple, translucent, 300ml bottle with a push down lid (you push down one side to get the little opening to pop up). The shampoo has a bright green, fairly thick gel-like consistency with a fresh, fruity smell and a good lather.
Once rinsed out, it left my hair feeling clean and soft, smelling good and looking great ... until the next morning when it started looking greasy again. To be honest, this shampoo didn't do much for my hair. It did work well on days when I had to use dry shampoo and washed the dry shampoo residue out really easily, but it did seem to strip my hair and scalp and left it "squeaky" clean, causing it to produce even more oil.
I have to wash my hair every second night, as my hair looks 'wet' by then with all the natural oil production, but after using the shampoo every second night for a month, I got to a point where my hair was looking really greasy and dirty after 12 hours!
This is a great product to use occasionally or every fortnight to remove product build-up. Even though it states that it's gentle enough for daily use, I found it to be too harsh to use as a frequent use shampoo, even on really oily hair.
Will I purchase it again? Probably not, unless I need a shampoo to specifically remove product build-up. Would I recommend it? Only if someone is looking for a shampoo to occasionally clarify their hair with.
What sparked my interest in this product was seeing it mentioned in the forum quite some time ago for its clarifying properties. I believe shampoo is believe to remove impurities from your hair. So with this conversation in mind I had to give this a try for myself. My hair type is thick coloured and lack lustre. I often get build up from using hair oils and hair sprays so I definately needed to give this one a try. Also I needed something that would be handy to use for my partner and children who have normal hair.
This bottle is tall and slender with s bright coloured green . Its very eye catching. One bottle stands up right while the other sits on itself. I like to buy both shampoo and conditioner to ensure this hair. cleaning process is fufilled. This formula is a bright coloured green that is as clear as green waters. This scent reminds me of a fresh tea tree bush with a grassy herbal fragrance. It smells so fresh and crisp I really enjoyed this fragrance.
With application it applies to my hair well . It lathers up easily and I find for my long hair I didnt need much. Normally I need at least two pumps of it. After washing my hair out my scalp felt clean. I couldnt feel any build up of oil or hair spray even after it was dry. I notice my hair is shinnier than usual and surprisingly no dandruff since using it. Yay. Normally when I change I get dandruff come on but not this time. I got my bottle on special at pak an save for about $3 each . I definately would purchase more bottles of shampoo from their range but at the moment Im enjoying this one.
