I've been using this shampoo for a few years now, while also trying other shampoos. I've also tried the Moist version, but I find this one to be smooth and easy to use. I have long hair, so using expensive shampoos all the time can wear it out quickly... The price is reasonable for daily use, and it improves the texture of my hair, so it's a good balance between price and quality. I don't like floral or overly sweet scents, but this one smells nice.
I've been using it for a long time!
First off, let me say this: I recommend this to anyone with fine hair!!! My hair type and concerns: Thin, soft hair (finish hair); Super long, down to my belly button; Extremely prone to tangling, sometimes so tangled it's like a puzzle; I also color my hair; It really tangles easily; I'm prone to tangling. The other day, when I went to the hairdresser for the first time in a while, they washed my hair really roughly during shampooing, and my tangles became like a puzzle. I shampoo my hair carefully myself, but because they were so rough, it was really bad. They also roughly combed my hair, and it broke a lot. My hair is super long, so it tangles easily, but there are so many people with long hair like me... I got really fed up with my tangled hair, so I started researching shampoos that are suitable for people with tangled hair, and I found this shampoo. I bought a single dose and tried it, and it hardly tangled at all, which was great!!! I immediately bought the actual product and used it, and sure enough, the tangles have been significantly improved!!! Great!!! Shampoo: This doesn't completely eliminate tangles, but it lathers well. Treatment: Apply, let it soak in, and comb it through to detangle. I towel-dry my hair, add my hair oil, and feel the difference especially when I use a hair dryer! I like shampoos and treatments that leave a moisturized finish, so I've always bought those, or products for damaged hair because I've bleached my hair in the past, but products for fine hair are a better fit. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-try shampoo for fine hair. I'll also try using hair oils from this series. To completely eliminate tangles, it would be better to spend a little more, but this product gets almost all the tangles out for this price, so I highly recommend it. Rather than targeting those who prefer a smooth finish, I think it's best to choose based on your hair type. I was familiar with this series, but the packaging didn't really appeal to me, so I skipped buying the single-use pack. I wish I had started using it sooner. If you have hair like mine, I recommend trying it even if it's just a single use. I haven't used it all yet, so I'm giving it four stars.
The scent was nice, but there was nothing else particularly good about it. Just an ordinary shampoo.
