AFTER USING SAMPLES, MY HAIR WAS FULL BODIED AND VERY EASY TO CONTROL...LOVE THIS SHAMPOOThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Sampled, but led to purchase
First, I have fine textured, but rather voluminous, color treated hair. I received a single-use sample of the shampoo, conditioner, and mask to try: I decided to try the shampoo and conditioner during one "shampoo", and the mask after using a simple "clarifiy-ing" shampoo at another time, so that I could better evaluate the products. I figured I would most likely use the shampoo and conditioner...read more at the same time and could better evaluate how they worked together, how any scent/fragrance worked together etc. So here's what happened. The first thing that hit me was the fragrance. I'm not used to much fragrance/scent in my shampoo or conditioner, so it at first seemed heavy to me, but I actually liked it's musky tones. It lathered up nicely, but not too much, and worked very easily through my hair. There was not enough product in the sample to do any "rinse and repeat", but it wasn't necessary. I didn't have a lot of styling product built up in my hair at the time, so I can't really attest to that. I felt it left my highly processed (high-lift, lightened blonde, regularly heat-styled- blow dry/curler/flatiron) hair soft, smooth, and shiny, with plenty of volume and "bounce". Funny story regarding the fragrance: A few hours later, my husband and I were at a drama rehearsal at church, and the blocking called for me to get close enough to another man to touch his forehead and ask, "Are you sick?" Instead of his line ("No, I'm fine."), he said, "Wow, you smell really good!" It was pretty funny, because my husband, who was playing the guys brother was sitting at the table right next him, protested loudly, "Dude! I'm RIGHT HERE!---Stop flirting with my wife!---I mean "Ida"! (my character's name)". We were all laughing. I wasn't wearing any perfume, so it had to be the shampoo/conditioner. If you don't like strong fragrance in your hair products, this might not be for you, and you might want to check the fragrance in the store before you purchase it, and I certainly don't plan to layer on my perfume or fragranced lotions when I use it. It's kind of a "body fragrance" in itself. Big problem (for me anyway): The price. Wow, $30 for six and a half ounces! That's the only reason I knocked off a star, but I have to say, it performed really well, and in the end, I made the full-size purchase. I guess that's what a little un-solicited flirting from another man, in the presence of your husband, will do ;) I'm looking at as a high-end shampoo AND a body fragrance-in-one,---to help me feel better about the price-tag. If after using a full-size bottle, I change my mind, or even decide to repeat the purchase, I will update my review! :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
