In the beginning I loved this shampoo. I loved the herbal smell and it also helped my hair stay and feel cleaner for longer. So I purchased the liter bottle. Huge mistake. Now my hair feels dry, brittle and coated. After I shampoo my hair feels like straw and has no shine. Such a shame, because it does manage to keep my roots feeling fresh for a longer time but it means the rest of my hair feels awful. Will not be re-purchasing.

the shampoo is not that organic or natural and pure but it is just ok, smell is great. no harsh big no no bad stuff. it is very drying and seem to strip a lot of the natural hair oil out.

I have a large 1 liter bottle of this. Purchased initially because I wanted something natural and non-stripping for the hair. This is a good shampoo, does what it claims and leave my hair soft and bouncy. But it doesn't clean that well and sometimes I need to wash my hair twice to get rid of all the residue on the roots. Smell is quite strong, but it doesn't bother me too much. I will probably repurchase.

This is a fantastic product for anyone with oily hair/scalp.

I have oily hair. I have tried many shampoos over the years. Until I discovered shampure, every other shampoo I used would either strip my hair dry, or make my hair oily within a day. With shampure, my hair/scalp finally has balance. I can go a couple of days now before having to wash my hair; something I have never been able to do in the past when using other brands.

Shampure is definitely expensive compared to other shampoos on the market; however, a little bit of product really will go a long way. You only need a small amount of shampure to create a rich lather that will be enough to wash even long hair. This too is something I've never found in another shampoo. One bottle will last you a while. Well worth the investment, in my opinion.

If you're not sure you want to invest in a full sized bottle right away, Aveda sells shampure in a travel-sized bottles as well.

I have been using Aveda Shampure ever since I stumbled upon it during shopping for a daily shampoo. Upon doing a brief scalp analysis, my scalp belongs to the dry to normal category and I was recommended to use Shampure by the sales assistant. The smell of Shampure is HEAVENLY. It feels like spa everytime I wash my hair. It is easy to lather into foam and rinse away without feeling build-ups. After washing, my hair feels clean, not drying and soft.

I love this Aveda shampoo which is a complete change from my usual thoughts on Aveda shampoos. Every single one of them dries my fine hair hair out to a nasty tangly mess except for Shampure. HOWEVER - I think this is because, at the advice of my stylist, I use Damage Remedy conditioner (the regular one) to condition after use and not the matching Shampure conditioner. My salon tends to mix Aveda shampoos and conditioners based on the person's hair when they are shampooing. For my hair, which is generally oily and fine, they use Shampure to cleanse, followed by Damage Remedy to rehydrate (since my hair is colored with Aveda color). It works, my color stays, my hair is light, shiny and bouncy. It has literally taken me YEARS to find the right shampoo. Usually what happens is I'll love a shampoo and then 2-4 weeks into use I notice reasons to dislike it (drying or buildup or some other annoyance). This has been 3 full months of use and it is a definite HG shampoo (and HG shampoo/conditioner combo) for my hair. SInce I also shampoo every day, this great result really demonstrates to me its gentleness and lack of buildup or lack of "crispy hair" situation.

This product, along with the conditioner revitalised my hair. I had dry, fine, curly hair that tends to become incredibly frizzy and unmanageable throughout the day. I have tried many products, ranging from drugstore shampoo to Kerastase. They would either dry my hair out (like the clarifying products) or weight my hair down(like Bain Satin series). Then there was Shampure.

After I started using this product, along with the conditioner, my hair is soft, shiny, bouncy and oh so healthy. It made such a difference that my friends notice it. It is natural, not over the top expensive, smells great, and transforms your hair. Incredible!

Yes it may be a little drying but I think that is because it gets rid of all the stuff that has build up on your hair. How do I know this? Well, before I started using this product, I'd have oily disgusting residue building up on the sides of the ceramic plate of my GHD. I'd find a fair bit of it after I straighten my hair a couple of times and I'd have to clean it up with a piece of cotton. Since I've started using this product, there is almost nothing building up there.

I highly recommend you guys try this stuff.

Ultra drying shampoo. For color treated hair which may be on the drier side already, do not use this shampoo. It is horrendous. After using it once my hair was so puffy, crunchy-dry, and stripped of color.

This is one if the worst shampoos I've ever used. My hair is dry to the point of being crispy but somehow manages to be gummy on top. I'll never use it again.

I have fine colored fine hair. I use Nioxin but once in a while treat my hair to Aveda Shampure. My hair loves it.

I bought this (and the Aveda Shampure conditioner) for my 15th birthday a year ago, and i bought the big kind (not sure what exact size they are).
It smells really good for a shampoo, and if I had fine blonde oily hair like my mother instead of thick red dry hair, I'd probably like this a lot better. I get my hair done at a salon that only uses Aveda products and my hair turns out great there, but at home the same products make my hair frizzy and dry and wirey. I enjoy the Herbal Essences products way more for my hair type, and the price of $40 that I paid for my Aveda shampoo can't compare to the $5 herbal essences.

Love the smell but I think I would use this more as a clarifying shampoo than a daily one. It cleans really well, but if I use it everyday it can make my scalp feel dry and irritated. I used it as a body wash and its nice that way too.

The smell is to die for, and it leaves my hair cleansed and really condtioned without weighing it down.

Ok...i really love the smell of shampure!! My issue with this is that it washes so well that it leaves my hair so dry. Even my scalp is dryer than normal. I wont lie...even after all thay i may buy it again years from now just for the smell.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of this shampoo so i really wanted to like it, but i didn't. I didn't like the conditioner either, and i used them both together and separately with no luck. I have fine, thin hair and I tend to buy moisturizing shampoos and conditioners because they work best for making my hair fluffy and soft. Sadly, this shampoo and conditioner definitely made my hair feel even more thin. I am going to try other Aveda shampoo's because they have the best smells and no sulfates.

Great for cleaning cosmetic brushes. I've tried this shampoo and although I love the scent, it does not work well on my frizzy, fine silver hair. This shampoo is not moisturizing. On a different note, Aveda's Curessence shampoo is no longer available but WAS a great product.
I wish MA would remove outdated comments.

I bought this a couple of years ago along with the conditioner and had the most horrendous reaction to it! I ended up with a red, swollen face and a painful rash across my back and shoulders. I'm still not sure which ingredient caused it, but I haven't experienced anything like it since. Very peculiar.

It's not bad; however, if you are looking for something natural, don't be fooled! This stuff is full of nasty chemicals:(

Used to love it but then I hated it but now I love it again! What first got me hooked was the scent - it is wonderful! I ended up not liking it a few years ago because at the time my scalp was very oily and my hair was very long and thick. I also was under the impression that I always had to use loads of conditioner. My hair felt heavy and not always so clean. Since then I have cut my hair and realized I don't always need conditioner - this shampoo has been great since I started using it again about 2 months ago. I will defintely be getting the large bottle soon.
