I have now bought this shampoo twice. It is very light and seems to just wash my hair, which is what I've been looking for in a shampoo. It doesn't strip my hair of natural oils (which just makes it oily later on in the day) or dry it out (which causes breakage). It doesn't overmoisturize either. It is just cleans your hair, which is what a shampoo should do. It has a very clean "green", earthy scent.

This is a very good shampoo. According to B2B, it is designed for people with healthy hair to begin with (the name normalizing is sort of misleading). The texture is quite thick and not as watery as most shampoos I used. It lathers well and does not dry my hair out.Update: after using this shampoo and its matching conditioner for about two weeks, I noticed the buildup dulled my hair. What's more, I developed some bumps in my scalp like another user of their Mango shampoo did. I stopped using this duo and went back to my Redken All Soft. The bumps cleared up within two days.

Since I am pretty picky about shampoo, this one is a five lippie for me. My shampoo criteria is that it must not strip my hair and it must smell GOOD!! Ugh, all the mass market shampoos out there have that same nauseating cheap perfume smell. And a lot of salon shampoos' scent just doesn't appeal to me. This one smells heavenly, and I will keep using it as long as I can find it. It's been harder to find recently, I hope the Green Tea line of Back to Basics hasn't been discontinued.

I have normal, wavy, slightly-oily hair. I'd like to think it's fairly healthy, so when I saw a shampoo called "normalizing", I thought it sounded like something that would be good for me. First of all, I didn't smell green tea anywhere. The shampoo has a fresh floral scent, though. Well, it lathered up very nicely, but when I began to rinse it away, my hair felt stripped, dry and brittle like pine straw! Horrible! One use was all it took to convince me to stay away from this! My hair is too important to me to be treated with such a product. My 3-dollar Aussi works wayyy better than this! Fortunately, the green tea shampoo works well as a face wash or to shave one's legs... but if you value your locks at all, please be cautious! This was my first time trying a shampoo from BTB, but it has made me think twice about trying another.

Update on this product - it is now sitting in the garbage can waiting for garbage day. I was trying to use it up, but my hair started to break really bad - I was sweeping up more of my hair than my dog's! Worst shampoo I have ever used and that includes drugstore brands. Won't even use it on the dog.

A perfect acceptible, lower priced shampoo. Not a fave - but not bad either.

loved the fresh scent - not sure that it really smells like green tea, but it's nice and clean. pleasing light texture, inoffensive clear green bottle and product. lathers up nicely and rinses clean. my hair (normal type, asian) ended up getting weighed down by this shampoo, much as i enjoyed using it. won't be buying again.

Very clean. I didn't like the smell but I can understand if others enjoy it.

Very clean smelling. Has shea butter in it for moisturizing. Little tip: It's very compatable to Tressemme's conditioner as far as scent goes.
