I buy this one in the 32 ounce size ....
Good solid workhorse in my rotation. Many of the more expensive/treatment oriented shampoos are too much for daily use, for my fine hair. I love the "Damage Repair" line, but I simply can't use that much treatment.
Yes, I color treat my hair. Yes, it is damaged. But is is also fine, and too much treatment leaves me flat.
This is a solid shampoo. I do notice the blond effects, a kind of golden wash, when I use it with the Camomile Conditioner (I will often then use the leave in Damage Repair, as that is a lighter conditioner).
Love the fragrance.
Has been a great stand-by over the years .....

Dry, dry, DRY! This stuff ruined my hair. In two uses, my hair felt like straw. I don't know what to do with it now. :(

I love the things most people hate about this product but I have never color treated my hair personally. It controls my excess grease so I don't mind the drying effect some women do as it only seems to dry up my roots, not the ends thank goodness. It also blondes up my fading strawberry blonde locks perfectly with that subtle yellowing. It happens to go great with my uber white skin tone and does not look brassy a bit on me. It's probably not for everyone but it really works super well for me personally. Try this if you are a blonde of some shade if you struggle at all with that greasy root look by the end of the day, this cures it and makes your hair a brighter hue to boot.

I usually love Aveda shampoos, but not this one. I have med blonde colored hair with lighter highlights, and this made my hair a gold color. I guess my hair is porous, and it absorbed the color. I won't repurchase it.

I loved the Aura Chamomile Shampoo and used it forever until they discontinued it a few years back. I've been looking ever since for a new shampoo that isn't drying or ridiculously coating. I hadn't bothered with this because of the silicone and the wheat, but out of desperation, gave it a shot. It smells wonderful and the Aura was almost identical in scent - and I was somewhat encouraged. But unfortunately, it made my hair really, really yellow and I found it very drying - plus, it was even more drying the next day, so I'll have to pass.

A horrible highlight job that left me with Big Bird Yellow on medium brown curly hair had to be redone by another salon, and I ended up with Donatella Versace platinum curls that made the darker pieces look super dark. I have an olive complexion, and it just looked slutty. I read the glowing reviews here of Chamomile and Clove. I like this shampoo and will alternate it with the Clove shampoo I bought because I needed more color toning. It smells great and doesn't cause my curls to tangle. I used both the Camomile Shampoo and Conditioner together, and hey both did a great job at making the platinum a warmer buttery shade. Maybe more uses would have made a difference, but I wanted instant results, so I used the Clove shampoo instead. Still, I think this stuff leaves me with shiny, soft hair that smells fragrant and gives enough warmth and color to avoid washing me out without being overly golden.

My colorist recommended this to me. This isnt a bad product. Though, it really didnt make my hair look any better than a d/s shampoo... and i honestly did not notice any difference with my highlights. I guess with prolonged use it will probably make my highlights last longer and it is cheaper than my current shampoo pureology. I havnet used this stuff in a while but am curious to knwo if it contains sulfates. I may purchase it again when i finish up my pureology as it is much cheaper.

Having tried nearly all of the appropriate Aveda shampoos for my hair, this is my favourite. I can't say it does anything to enhance my natural hair colour, or the highlights, but its not too heavy, the smell isn't offensive as with some Aveda products, and cleanses well. I use the Sap Moss Conditioner, and they work together just fine.

Well, I tried this one as well as the Blue Malva for my straight shoulder length medium golden blonde hair. I should start by saying that the shampoo smells wonderful, lathers nicely, and rinses well. But I don't think it was light enough for my hair. It actually made it look darker. I think if you have light brown or dark blonde hair, it would look very nice. I made my husband use it and it made his hair nice and shiny and it made the blonde parts blonder. But my hair is lighter than his, and it made the little white-blonde pieces around my face turn darker gold. I should also mention that it did, in fact, make the underside of my hair look lighter and shinier, and the roots are totally invisible. But...the parts that had lightened up in the sun so nicely, were darkened. The Blue Malva, on the other hand, removed all traces of gold and left my hair a light, ash blonde. Not exactly what I'm used to, but beautiful nonetheless. It only took about an hour to get used to it. The white-blonde parts were really white and there was no trace of red or orange remaining in my hair. Very nice, but, again, I just wasn't used to that. I will continue to use both shampoos, but I think the Camomile is suited for darker blondes and for brown hair. It certainly did its job well. It deposited color in my hair nicely, It just wasn't my color.

My first highlighting shampoo so I cannot really compare, but I love it! Smells beautiful - not your typical shampoo scent, and I love the fact it doesn't contain SLS. I have light brown hair with copper blonde highlights (all of which is not natural), & after about a month I felt like my highlights were becoming really brassy, so I started using this shampoo. I think it works at bringing out the golden tones & getting rid of the brassiness. Reasonably priced at CAD$12 for a 8oz bottle. Gentle enough for daily use. Definitely worth a try!

This product did not do what I hoped it would. I have naturally blonde hair that has always been very light, but it is turning darker as I enter my 20's. I usually use sheer blonde products, but find them drying, and I thought since this was more natural it would be better for my very long hair...it wasn't a bad shampoo, I kind of like the smell, but it did nothing for my lighter blonde highlights. I guess it is just for darker blondes.

I absolutely adore this shampoo. My hair is wavy, medium thickness, and long and this does a gorgeous job bringing out golden highlights in my medium blond hair with light strawberry blonde highlights (not natural, sadly). This is a deep gold tone, so I wouldn't use it on light blonde hair. I would not recommend for someone with hair in poor condition, or someone who needed a conditioning shampoo because this is not very moisturizing. I love it for when I wear my hair wavy, as it doesn't weigh it down and all and leaves it ultra shiny. Wonderful almond smell.

I love the smell of this shampoo! I think some of Aveda's shampoos and conditioners (and other products) smell awful. This is one of the best! It really brightens up blonde hair! The first time I used it, my friend asked if I had just gotten highlights!

Best for golden tones. If you have an ashier tone use the Blue malva. Works well though.

This product smells great, but I didn't get good results. I have very light blond hair, and it turned it yellow, so avoid it unless you have golden undertones. Plus it irritated my scalp and made my hair fall out. I've found the sheer blonde products to be much better for me.

When I used this on my dirty blonde hair, people actually told me my hair looked darker. Not exactly what I was going for. I definately won't buy this again.

Great, great, great for blondes! The smell is nice and clean, you can really smell the sweet almond oil in it. I've got naturally blonde hair with gold and red tones, and this REALLY brings out the gold.
The only negative I've heard is from my friend that uses it. She colors her hair blonde. She used it before coloring, and it made her usual color react differently (leaving a brassier tone, she says). Personally, I didn't notice it. ;-)

I have light brown hair, and I don't think this shampoo does anything for the color - that's the matching conditioner's job, apparently. The shampoo does its job, though - but it's really nothing spectacular, especially for the price. The smell is good - coconutty, sort of. But I've noticed that the cap has split! Amazing, for an $8 product. Will not repurchase.

Hair Type: Fine, highlighted ash blonde, medium density..All I can say is that this is the BEST color enhancing shampoo I have ever used. Love the botanical smell, lathers nicely, and doesn't weigh hair down! This shampoo turned my ashy highlights into a soft, golden blonde hue. Blows Clairol Shimmer Lights out the door! Will repurchase..

This is a good shampoo for highlights. I do feel like it somewhat "freshens" my highlights. But, I don't use it very often because I feel like it dries out my hair slightly. But when my hair is in good condition, I use this.
