Paul Mitchell

This one is almost HG status for me. Clarifies without over drying and after a couple of months of once a week use, my hair is actually much less oily. I now use it every 2-3 of weeks if I feel its needed and I can keep washing my hair only twice a week in between. After years if being so oily I had to wash my hair every day, I love the results.
The reason its not HG for me is that it is strong and I think caused some shedding so I do find I use it less than I used to. Is there a once-a-month HG?

Con:
I hate the smell. Seriously. I start tearing up when I put this shampoo ontop of my head. Its that strong.
The cap for the bottle broke in the first few uses.

Pro:
It works. It just does. I tend towards an oily scalp that's sensitive to a lot of products and this shampoo just balances things out. I feel more comfurtable, wash my hair a bit less frequent and I think there's less shedding too. So while this isn't a luxorious experience I enjoy using in the shower, I sure enjoy the results. Will continue to buy as long as it works.
Note: I use this shampoo about once a week.

Move over all the other bottles in the shower, theres a new kid on the block! This stuff is amazing. I have long wavy fine thick mature hair. I need all the moisture I can get! This stuff is great! Mositurizes on a long term level. Smells amazing, makes hair bouncy and yet shiny and youthful looking. I don't color my hair ( I should, but I don't) but this stuff is sulfate/pharabhen free and is great for color treated hair. It's worth every penny! Run and buy yourself this AND the conditioner! While your at it, grab the mask as well.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I am a professional stylist, so I come across a lot of different brands and formulas. This has to be be absolute worst shampoo I have ever used on myself and clients. When I used this on a few of my clients I noticed their hair didn't feel clean and was limp. So I have it a shot myself. My hair is a level 5 demi permanent color which I flat iron frequently. I have never used a shampoo which made my hair look more damaged, greasy, weighed down, and lifeless. I couldn't wait until the next day to wash it again with my hg biolage volumebloom. I would never recommend.

My long blond hair was recently highlighted. I've tried all the purple shampoos but this is expensive and does nothing. The best one was a cheapie from Superdrug but they reformulated it.
Don't waste money on this
