Really good shampoo - smell, consistency, cleaning ability. A bit expensive.

The retail and commercial sizes are inconvenient for the final bits of product.

This shampoo is the reason I switched shampoo and conditioner brands for life! This shampoo along with the matching conditioner is my first kerastase product and every since I tried it I was hooked! Every time I use it I feel like I just stepped out of a salon. It really makes my hair very soft and smooth. I dont use it everyday though. I interchange this with the other kerastase shampoo, the green bottle one I think its called de force.

This is my new HG shampoo! It is moisturizing without being greasy and my hair feels so soft when I use this. I am so happy this has lived up to my expectations, it is a lifesaver for my highlighted hair and gentle enough to use daily.

Simply the best!!! I have fine hair and it volumizes, smell delish, and leaves my hair in the best condition of its life. I'm not even tempted to look at other shampoos any more...

I am so dissapointed with the quality of this shampoo it is rediculous! lol I use and absolutely lvoe all my Kerastase styling products and have been avoiding getting this shampoo for years as I couldn't justify paying so much for something that washes down the drain. Finally gave in, as I have been on a perfect shampoo hunt for quite some times now hoping to find one that cleans well, doesn't strip color, and adds enoug moisture to help me battle my naturaly wavy frizzy hair without weighing it down. I always have liked to think a Shampoo does really matter in adding the benefits our styling products provide to be able to make our hair manageable especially for those of us who have insane hair like myself lol. Anyhow was really hoping to like this product and feel it was worth the moeny but SO NOT the case. No matter how wet my hair was (and I don't have thick hair or expect tons of lather like most people do) but the amount fo product I had to use to get anywhere near a tiny lather/have my hair feel clean was insanely too much! Also I couldn't believe even after using conditioner how knotted and tangled my hair felt. I am not saying I want shampoo ful of silicone for fake smoothness but still. Also it definitely smelled way more perfumy than I imagined as opposed to all others Kerastase products I love. So definitely have to say paying $35 for this considering how much I have to use just isn't justified for me whatsoever. There is absolutely nothing about this Shampoo that is better than cheap drugstore crap I have hated aside form it having a fancy name and smelling expensive lol! SO sad as I really wanted to have all my hair need from Kerastase but back to my hunt once again fr a decent shampoo as I'm honestly starting to beleive shampoo doesn't really do much of anything for hair (unlike all the rediculous claims of advertising making it seem like shampoo makes your hair model status when it really is the styling products in my opinion), hence why paying insane prices for Kerastase and like lines is a waste of money, especially since even the results aren't noticeable whatsoever for the mediocre ingredients.

I don't know what's so great about this shampoo that it costs so much.

I bought it, used it a couple times, like 10 or 12 and i bought another one because it didn't do anything special.

a regular shampoo in disguise for my taste

I have used this shampoo for years. Every time I try something new, I come right back to Bain Satin 2.

It is an extremely good shampoo, especially if you color-treat or have fine hair. I have never felt as though it weighs my hair down or is too harsh. It serves its purpose and works extremely well with Lait Vital.

As a point of reference, I shampoo every morning and, if I hit the gym that day, a second time in the evening. This never dries out my hair or strips the color from so much washing.

This is an excellent shampoo. My mistake was choosing scale 2 instead of 1, which was a bit heavy for my fine hair. Having said that, my hair always felt very smooth, soft and conditioned after using it.

This totally saves my hair during the winter! My scalp is so dry and flaky, but not with this schampoo though. If you have promblems once in a while with dry scalp, you've got to try this. It is not moisurizing enough for my very, very dry hair though, saddly enough.

Had the worst scalp reaction of my life with this product and it's complementary conditioner (my scalp is *not* sensitive). Painful red bumps all around my hairline that only went away after I stopped using them. The smell was a vomit-inducing powdery scent that made me nauseous. It made my hair flat and greasy in just 2 days (my hair is naturally bone dry) it was soft though, which was the only good thing I ever got out of the set. Regrettably an all round horrible experience which was not helped by the price, cost me a fortune and then some. With the price they charge the least that could've been added to the packaging was a lousy pump. I do not recommend this nor will I ever repurchase.

I like this shampoo a lot. I think its crazy expensive, but it is a good product. It has all the things I want from a shampoo. It cleans my hair without drying it or weighing it down, it lathers well most of the time, and it smells nice.

My one complaint is the packaging. Having to deal with unscrewing a lid in the shower is not practical. Its a nice and comfortable lid, but its still a screw lid and I only have two hands. When you unscrew and put some product in your hand, its a bit difficult to get the cap back on the bottle without losing some of the product down the side of your hand. Although maybe I am just extremely uncoordinated. I bought the double size with the pump to avoid this issue, but that is a limited time thing. I might try the large sizes on eBay, but I never quite trust products on eBay.

One thing about Kerastase is that you really need to make sure you are using the right products for your hair. I would have thought I needed the most moisturizing products, but as it turns out the middle products are good for my hair. Consult a stylist that has experience with Kerastase for what you should be using.

I guess I oughta review this shampoo, considering I bought it several months ago...I am not impressed. I thought it would be that amazing hair product, as everyone raves about it. No Sir-E. It's like a basic shampoo, its not moisturizing, it cleans well, and it doesn't seem to encourage dryness. For the record, my hair is baby-fine, long, and dry. For $30 I am sure I could find a shampoo equal to value at the drugstore. Like I said... I really wanted this to be IT, my HG, it just wasn't. :(

I have bought this on several occassion- and I use this alongside the conditioner, and although my hair was looking fab, I think it was more so to do with the conditoner. I am so undecided about shampoo- I won't buy your standard stuff in the supermarkets as my hair is dire, but to pay this amount for it I dont really like. I always shampoo my hair twice when i wash it too! If you are going to use other Kerastase products to go with this, by all means, do it. But, I would not buy this on its own. I think its more important to have a good conditioner.

I got good bang for my buck with this shampoo. I use it once a week on my scalp only, and I've had the same bottle for two years now! A little goes a very long way, and I only use a dime-sized amount each time. The price is ridiculous at over $30, but I would buy it again because the shampoo lasts and it leaves my scalp clean.The only downside I've found with this shampoo, is that it tends to leave my scalp itchy after using it. Could be because I've had the same bottle for so long and the product's turned rancid. I don't know.

I don't understand all the hype over Kerastase products...my friend recommended this to me, so I went to the salon and they gave me this, called it the "Chanel" of shampoos. BULLSH*T. I bought this with the Lait Vital conditioner, and my hair and scalp just ended up more dry than it had been with my previous shampoo (Matrix Logics). I'm switching back...this shampoo just left my wallet empty and my hair limp and dry.

The packaging is horrible. You have to twist off a cap in order to open it (is it me, or is there a reason why 99% of all shampoo bottles easily open?) Will not buy again...

Very expensive for not a whole lot of product, but such is Kerastase. I have fine, somewhat damaged hair with dry ends and I found this shampoo MUCH too heavy. I felt like my hair was always limp and weighed down when using this. If you have very damaged hair that isn't very fine, this stuff probably is for you. I will try the Chroma line.

ONLY for damaged/processed hair. If you have natural, healthy hair it will feel gunky and definitely not squeaky clean. This is what I used after I bleached my hair white blonde from black within two weeks and my hair was falling out. When it was wet, it would drip off in chunks when touched like slime. I went to an awesome colorist and he told me to use this shampoo, and it definitely helped a lot. It was the only thing that I could have used on my hair at that point, in fact I used all Kerastace and it rebuilt my hair. I have used "3" as well, but honestly I didn't see that big of a difference between the two.
