The shampoo is clear and smooth with a thin gel-like consistency while the conditioner is much thicker. Its lather is very thin though with no visible bubbles. You will feel great and extremely clean after rinsing your hair. For someone who blow-dries their hair every day, I would recommend a stronger a conditioner. However, thin gains volume after using this shampoo. You can only buy this product if you want to add volume to your hair.

The first thing you notice about the product is its smell, which is a gorgeous fresh herbaceous and minty scent that will get you hooked from the first whiff. The shampoo is light and foamy and easy to apply. One complaint from many users is that it left their hair knotted; however the conditioner soon rectified this. The conditioner is clay-based and offers a luxurious feel to daily conditioning. Once styled, your hair becomes shiny and gives a new fullness to it.

CHOOSING THE BEST SHAMPOO

Choosing the best shampoo for your hair is vital. Below are some of the tips and things to consider as you shop around for the best shampoo for your hair.

Decide What You Want From Your Shampoo

Well, you should know what qualities you want your shampoo to have! Do you want a shampoo that moisturizes? A shampoo that maintains colour treated hair? One that repairs damaged hair? You may only be interested in a dry shampoo. Perhaps, a Volumnizing or thickening shampoo is what you want? Figure out what you want from your shampoo first.

Determine What Irritations You Have

In regards to shampoo, irritation occurs most often in the scalp, skin, or eyes.

• Scalp

It is possible to “over-shampoo” your hair, especially when using a clarifying product. Shampoos that clarify often lead to an irritated or itching scalp because of the harsh ingredients they use to “degrease” the hair.

• Skin

As more and more products start including natural ingredients, you will need to pay attention to possible allergic reactions. Nut and seed oils are often used in shampoo and while for most people they provide more natural moisturizing, for others, it is an allergy nightmare.

• Eyes

Many shampoos include formaldehyde, which kills bacteria in the hair. Occasionally, however, formaldehyde also leads to irritated and itchy eyes. If you have sensitive eyes, you may want to avoid a shampoo with this ingredient.

 

 

GOOD AND BAD INGREDIENTS

Understanding what irritations you have allows you to choose a shampoo with the right ingredients. Some ingredients will help you avoid irritations, while others will only inflame them.

It is almost impossible to find shampoos without some “bad” ingredients. Moreover, some people see “bad” ingredients as “good” and visa-versa. Here are some the ingredients you should avoid and what ingredients you should love. Avoid shampoos with these ingredients.

• Sulphates

 Not all sulphates are bad, but be on the lookout for ammonium lauryl sulphate, ammonium laureth sulphate and sodium lauryl sulphate. These ingredients give shampoo that foamy quality we all love, but can cause the scalp to become red, irritated, and itchy. These same ingredients also act as a degreaser in dish washing soap! Maybe what is best for your dishes is not best for your hair.

• Isopropyl Alcohol

The purpose of isopropyl alcohol is to dissolve oil from the hair. If over used, shampoo with this ingredient can cause the hair to try and reduce your hair’s level of moisture. If you are using a shampoo with this ingredient consider your frequency of use and adding a shampoo that moisturizes to your weekly routine. Isopropyl alcohol is derived from petroleum, so that is not awesome. It is also found in antifreeze. If used for long periods, it does have the potential for hair loss nobody got time for hair loss!

• Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde does kill bacteria which is good. However, because of its strength, it can irritate the eyes. In more severe cases, prolonged use of shampoos with formaldehyde can lead to problems with your respiratory system and/or cause skin inflammation.

• Propylene Glycol

You will find propylene glycol in a lot of shampoos. That is because it helps the cleaning ingredients penetrate your hair. We want those cleaning ingredients to do their job, but it comes with a cost. The controversial component of propylene glycol is that it also breaks down healthy-hair proteins. These proteins act as the building block of your hair and keep it fabulous. There are also reports of this ingredient irritating skin and/or eyes.

The good ingredients in a shampoo

You may need to be keen enough to look out for the below ingredients which are good for the hair.

• Better Sulphates

These are the good sulphates! These sulphates would never sabotage a child’s christening or throw a table. Keep an eye out for; sodium laureth sulphate, TEA lauryl and laureth sulphates. These ingredients vibe better with your hair and do not normally cause irritations, redness, etc.

• Glycerine

Glycerine acts as a protective barrier to your hair follicles. This barrier protects the hair from daily damage and perhaps even more important, helps retain moisture.

• Nut and Seed Oils

It may be a trend, or there actually may be something to it, but natural ingredients are becoming very popular in shampoo. We have even seen shampoo with fish eggs in them! While that seems a little “fishy” to us, natural oils are proving themselves in the shampoo world.

Jojoba, Shea, and avocado, remove the oils that build up in your hair. They also aid in creating an incredible shine and add lots of moisture! Most organic conditioners contain essential or natural oils.

• Acidic Ingredients

Acidic ingredients add shine to your hair while making it smooth and ultra-touchable. Specifically, sodium citrate/citric acid, works to maintain the pH balance of your hair. This causes your cuticles to lie flat, adding to your hair’s shine and smoothness.

• Panthenol

Think of panthenol as a vitamin. Panthenol is a form of vitamin B that helps your hair retain moisture and adds a luscious shine. More notably, the vitamin B thickens hair follicles giving you that voluptuous look.

CONCLUSION

All most all shampoos have some ingredients to enhance volume, but these Volumnizing shampoos are great for giving you that “fresh-from-the-salon look.” Many of these products have the natural ingredients that will improve the health of the hair without the use of harsh chemicals.
