I tried the sample and it was so good I immediately tried the actual product. I'd been using Oggi Otto Drs shampoo, but it caused a lot of hair loss and itching. Prolonged use left my hair feeling thin and brittle, which was a real problem. I couldn't find a good shampoo, so I had to resort to using it. Then I tried Kiehl's AA and found it to be the perfect shampoo and conditioner for me! First of all, the shampoo is quite harsh, but it's so much more refreshing than shampoos that require you to rinse for an extended period. The foam rinses off quickly, which is great. After using the conditioner and drying, my hair feels smooth and fluffy, making blow-drying easy and without any itching. It's perfect. Some people say it leaves my hair feeling moisturized, but for me, it's fluffy, the tops feel natural, and it doesn't fall flat, so I can blow-dry it the next morning. The scent is also great, and I thought it was a product from L'Oréal (a subsidiary of L'Oréal), a company with such a long history. Some people have issues with the ingredient sodium laureth sulfate, but this depends on the amount used, and every shampoo contains similar ingredients under different names, so I don't mind it at all. For the first week or so, my hair was a bit dull, probably because the Oggi ingredients were still there, but after that it completely recovered and looked beautiful. What I like most about this is that it holds the color well, even though I dye my hair natural black. With Oggi, it turned brown quickly, which was terrible. This one holds the color well. Each of Kiehl's skincare products has a completely different feel, but they're very effective and revitalize my skin. I highly recommend Kiehl's.
