I would have repurchased this again and again if I could get my hands on it... but of course it has been discontinued. That said, if you do happen to find this and you'd probably find it at discounters for a dance and a song - get it. It really is not a shampoo for everyday use BUT when you want that extra oomph this is the thing to go for! I cannot even begin to describe the volume this shampoo always gives! It's totally incredible... my hair with wavy curls that aren't too tight with silky and heavy texture suffers from lack of volume at times... but this stuff is amazing in remedying that.

This shampoo is definitely not an every day shampoo - But about every 3rd day and a very small amount needed - I do get more volume - Okay with me

PS-I find that if you shampoo, condition-and then take a wee bit of shampoo to the roots and rinse it thru the conditioner it helps with the tangles while still keeping the body.

It's been DISCONTINUED. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Sniffle. Snort. I ran out to the local groc store who had it on 70 percent clearance and bought 4 bottles of it. I love the smell, it's really different-kind of a more manly cologne smell but not manly. Hard to describe. Washing once with it makes my hair EXTREMELY fluffy, (wavy brunette white girl hair) and holds past the conditioning. Love it. Will duel to the death on ebay for it later on in the year, I suppose. Enguarde!! (is that spelled right?)

My boyfriend is a hairdresser, so I get to try out lots of products. This one, I didn't like so well. I have baby fine hair and I did not notice any volumizing thanks to this product. Would not buy again. :-(

LOVE this shampoo. Unlike others, I didn't notice any build up, but then I don't use any "product" on my hair. I just wash and go -- which this shampoo, and a good short'n'sassy haircut allows me to do. Me: baby fine hair, but a lot of it. Oily scalp. Slight natural wave that runs toward frizzy. Color-treated. Humid environment. Never noticed any drying either, but then my hair is fairly short (chin length). I don't notice the smell of shampoo much, but this one isn't memorably bad to me. My favorite shampoos are KMS Daily Fix and this one. I use the other when my hair gets a little longer and in the winter, and this one in the summer and when my hair is shorter.

This shampoo didn't give my hair more volume, and I don't find it any better than most drugstore shampoos... so I will not buy again.

I already have quite thick hair but like to try volumising products to enhance the look. I wish I'd stayed away from Sebastian Mohair though. Apart from its overpowering cheap cologne-like scent, this shampoo not only didn't cleanse effectively but it left my hair feeling dry and knotty. Cannot recommend at all.

No way! This is probably the worst-smelling shampoo in the world. Smells, as some reviewers have already mentioned, like cheap cologne. Had to throw it out because I couldn't stand the smell!

The smell is terrible and manly, although it doesn't linger. I didn't notice any additional volume and would not purchase.

I have baby fine, thin hair...and this is like a little bit of magic in a bottle...for me.
It does seem to 'rough up' the hair shaft, which is what you want, if your hair is fine, thin and limp.
It does do that, and if you use a wide-toothed comb after washing with it, the tangles shouldn't be a problem.
As far as the smell...well it does smell a bit masculine, but it's not horrid or nauseating...to me.
I rather like it.
This is definitely a shampoo I would recommend to men or women who want more volume...and who want to touch their hair...and feel something...substantial.

I agree this smells like cheap men's cologne and I agree that it can't be used every day because you WILL get a lot of protein build up.

But with that said - this is the ONLY shampoo that beefs up my long thin fine color treated hair. Fat Cat shampoo doesn't do it; Bumble thickening shampoo doesn't do it.

The first time I used it, my hair was quite literally a nappy tangled bird's nest. I wanted to cry. BUT - good things come to those with patience. The whole point of this stuff is that it strips you hair of some of its oils to make it less slippery and more coarse so it can take on more volume and hold a style better.

So if you wash with mohair and then follow with a thick conditioner, you're missing the point. YOU WANT YOUR HAIR TO BE COARSE. That's the whole point of this stuff.

My stylist recommended i use Mohair the morning of my wedding day to get some extra volume for my up-do and I swear by it now and recommend it to anyone and everyone who will listen.

Here's the skinny -

ALWAYS comb through your hair BEFORE you shower and eliminate as many snarls or tangles to begin with...you'll be thankful for this later... I wash and rinse TWICE if i really want extra volume. Then i get out of the shower and sit down on the toilet seat and take at my hair with a flat paddle brush. It WILL take a long time to comb through it. Be patient. Don't rip or tear through it, just be gentle and go to it piece by piece and the snarls will start to untangle themselves. (If you absolutely can't take it - use a spray leave-in conditioner like Sebastian Titanium Protector after towel drying.)

I swear to you - this is the only thickening shampoo that really works a damn out there for gals with fine thin hair.

I really like this shampoo. I have fine hair and it adds a lot of volume to it. I don't use it everyday--I switch off with a clarifying shampoo because there seems to be a bit of buildup. The smell is not great--cheap men's cologne does sum it up perfectly. But it isn't as overpowering as some of the Aveda scents and it doesn't last long. The results are worth it.

I like this shampoo. I have fine hair, and it gives it body without feeling "crunchy" like some other extra body shampoos do.
I especially love the smell. It smells just like Dimension shampoo I used back in the 80's as a teen.
I guess it takes me back to my childhood..hee hee

I thought the smell was nice. It gave my fine hair more body and I was able to style nicely. It did however give my fine blond hair a little static after I had brushed through it several times.

Bah! Used it once and never again. It made my hair dry and tangly and I didn't like the scent. Yeck. (I was talked into it by my hairdresser)

I 2nd AliceinWonderland's comment on the shampoo smelling like cheap cologne. The only reason why I tried this product is b/c it came with the purchase of Potion 9. This product gave me no additional volume compared to my other drugstore shampoos. What a waste.

I think this is a pertty good shampoo. It made my hair super soft, even before I used any conditioner. That doesn't happen very often. It also give my hair a lot of body.
