Of all the Aveda shampoos I have finally found the one that suits my hait best. I love the concept of aveda and the smell of Shampure but found Shampure too drying for my hair. I tried Dry Remedy and it was too heavy and smelled yucky. I used to use the Treatment shampoo but that also smelled weird and i had to force myself to use the rest of the bottle but ended up dumping a lot of it because it made me feel sick whenever i used it. I got the travel size of this and used it while on vacation and lovedit. It is very smoothing and not too heavy at all. The bonus is that it smells nice.

I thought this was just ok. I have normal hair, with a slight wave. This definitely did help to smooth my hair and keep it straight, however I felt that it left it a bit coated and so I had to wash my hair more frequently. I wouldn't repurchase.

I got a hair consultation and was surprised about my hair. I thought it was thin, fine, and damaged and I was going to go ahead and buy something that wasn't a fit for me. So I got the consultation and she said my hair is medium and normal and I have a natural wave with some frizzies but my hair is not that damaged at all. So that's the good news! I tried a sample of the shampoo and conditioner and wow my hair was SHINY and SOFT. I loved the smell and the feel of it. It is a very thick shampoo so you only need a little. All I do is lather it up with my hands first so I can get a lot of foam and then run it through my hair. You only need to use a lil. I know some of you has had trouble getting a good lather but I realized rubbing your hands together with the product quickly and adding more water to it the foam will add up just enough for your hair. I don't wash my hair everyday so I'm hoping this product will last cause it is pricey! but it was worth buying while I have some money in my wallet :)

The salon I get my hair done at always uses Aveda products and my hair always looks amazing afterwards so I bought this shampoo along with the conditioner, and I already have the Smooth Infusion style prep gel. I really like this shampoo and the conditioner. I feel like my hair looks so good after I dry it. My hair looks really healthy and shiny. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to use only a little bit, and only a tiny bit comes out of the bottle, and it's only during the second wash that it even lathers up. The same goes for the conditioner. When I'm washing my hair I feel like the small amount doesn't even cover my thick long hair, but it seems to do the trick. It's just so expensive. $25 a bottle! But after using Garnier shampoo and conditioner, which ruined my hair, this was an appreciated product.

This product did nothing but weigh my hair down and make it lifeless and limp. I used this shampoo along with the Style Prep Smoother and maybe it was the combination of both products that did it. All I know is I now use a very small amount of the Smoother alone and it smooths my hair enough without weighing it down. I don't recommend buying the whole Smooth Infusion line as Aveda and their salons would like you to do because for some people it's not necessary. Just buy one product at a time from a particular line and see if that's enough, then buy another if you feel you really need it. Luckily I bought this shampoo online so I was able to get a full refund, but if you buy Aveda products in a salon you usually can't. Be warned!

This dried out my hair and made it feel like STRAW. It does add some shine, but it isn't worth it in my opinion. I can't stand the way my hair feels with this...I needed to add a TON of deep conditioner to alleviate the straw feeling! And HORRIBLE Aveda won't take it back...grrr...hate them.

I received the 3 sample combo and I am soooooooooo disappointed. I don't understand why Aveda gets so much hype, most of their products are overpriced and the only positive aspect is the heavenly smell. The only Aveda product I like is damage remedy treatment mask, but I rarely purchase it because I don't like to pay $26 for a small tube! (especially since there are many comparable products at fraction of this price).
Well, this combo dried my hair and made it straw-like, NOT smooth like it claims to be. I couldn't wait to wash it off my hair. Yes, I loved the smell, but I wouldn't want to use this stuff even if they paid me to use it!!

I received a free sample of Smooth Infusion Shampoo, COnditioner and Style-Prep Smoother. They work! My hais is fine, dry, color-treated and a bit wavy. These producst (especially if you use all of them together (the shampoo being the least important) keep the cuticle down. Smells great (herbal) like all Aveda products. For free? Great. Would I buy it? Probably not.

The shampoo is nice, but what's really keeping your hair smooth is the conditioner and style-prep. continued >>

This product did absolutely nothing for my hair. I have dry, long hair that damages easily. The texture remained dry after I used the shampoo. Not worth the cost.

Wow, I'm amazed at the rave reviews about this shampoo and am sorry to say that I really want to love this but for some reason, it does nothing but dry out my hair!

I have only used this in conjunction with the other products in the line, so I can't speak about its stand-alone properties. With the other products - the conditioner and the Style-prep smoother, my hair feels amazing as a result.
I have blond, highlighted hair, which is naturally medium blond. I can get away with quite a bit of root growth before it becomes noticeable, but sometimes this is messed up by hair products that inject moisture in a heavy, greasy, darkening kind of way. My hair can appear almost brown with such products, and I don't like it. Somehow, using this line, my hair is moisturised but light in feel and look.
Regarding specifics, this lathers up nicely, but when its rinsed it feels untangled and soft. It's a real joy to use. The scent is herbal and fresh.
When I use this line, I am asked if I've been to the hairdresser.
I have only used these in sample sizes, so my opinions may change with prologued use (I most definitely plan to buy full sizes!) but I can honestly say that I have never experienced such sensational results from a haircare line.

I never thought this shampoo would be for my hair type. I used the sample I received at the Aveda store that had all three Smooth Infusion products. All three together made my thin, fine hair limp and lifeless. I used the shampoo on it's own and love it. My hair has a different texture when I use it; almost heavier and fuller feeling, if that makes sense. It is smooth and very healthy looking without weighing it down. I will rotate it with some other shampoos, but one of my new favorites.

This is hands down my all time favorite HG shampoo! I have very thin, wavy and often frizzy hair that tends to get oily at the scalp. This shampoo does a great job of cleaning my hair, while not drying out the ends. The faint, herbal smell is awesome, IMO. My only complaint is the price; it's ridiculous. $21 for an 8.5 fl.oz. bottle. Not the most expensive I've seen, but it's up there. Will definitely continue to repurchase as long as my wallet allows!

This is the best smoothing shampoo I have ever used. I've only purchased a sample so far, but I will definitely be getting a full size bottle of this.
It smells great, has a rich lather and keeps my hair frizz free more than anything else I've ever tried.

This shampoo is indeed a good one for my thin, dyed, parched hair. But I can not say the same thing for the Smooth Infusion Conditioner.

This is my fave Aveda shampoo. It does not have a strong essential oil infused scent. It lathers beautifully and does not strip hair of natural oils. My thick, medium textured hair is definitely softer after use. I have used it with the conditioner and style prep after and find that despite how soft and smooth my hair feels after using this product, I still need to use a flat iron. Unless your hair is ultra fine, for medium to coarse textured hair, a pin straight shiny finish can only be achieved with a flat-iron.
I agree that this product is so very expensive, I would not be able to afford to purchase regularly on a monthly basis as there are less expensive and equally effective alternatives. It can be a great occasional use shampoo. Nice scent. Decreases frizz but does not eliminate it. Hair is left smooth to the touch.

The shampoo cleans really well and doesn't add any build-up to your hair nor does it weight down fine hair (like I have). Even though the product is all-natural, the lather is amazing when combined with a little bit of water. The smell is also really fresh and isn't too "earthy" of a smell like some of their older products -- it is genuinely pleasant and relaxing. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey.

My hair has never looked better. I have wavy hair that I straighten with a flat iron. I use this along with the SI conditioner and finish with the SI glossing straightener. I love the scent. These products definitely protect and repair my hair from any heat damage caused from blow drying and flat ironing. I find that the results definitely justify the cost of these products. This shampoo lathers nicely, yet gently cleanses and moisturizes. Highly recommended. I continue to repurchase.

A great every day smoothing shampoo. It doesn't lather as well as I expected but if I had a little water that does the trick. It has a nice lemon-herbal scent but I don't find that it lingers to the point of being distracting. Will probaby repurchase in a liter to help with packaging waste - it will definitely be used!

I cannot afford to use this shampoo all the time, but every couple of years I buy a set (this with coordinating conditioner) and absolutely love it. It makes my straight/fine/damaged hair feel cleaner, softer, and sleeker than any other shampoo I've ever tried. I love it, especially when used with the matching conditioner and Style-Prep Smoother before flat ironing for a wonderfully shiny and healthy look. The smell is not bad, but I do wish it were a little less citrusy and a little more herbal.
