Love the look of the bottle. There is no mistaking that it is a purple shampoo with its large and gorgeous purple label on what looks like a black bottle. Really effective and attractive at the same time. The pump on the bottle unlocked relatively easy which was great as I usually struggle with the initial unlocking of pumps. The bottle is a great size to fit in my palm and the pump action works really well and DIDN'T DRIP after pumping which I loved as my usual purple shampoo (non-pump, just a lid) makes a real mess every time I open the lid. The shampoo was rich purple in colour and had a relatively thin consistency. It did lather up really well which I like as it makes me feel like I am washing my hair. The scent was quite gentle and pleasant to begin with but by the second shampoo it had become quite strong and my nose did not love the smell. I did two shampoos and on rinsing the second round my hair felt quite matted and dry which is not new to me as I always wash with a purple shampoo and this is usually the case. I thought with the Violet Leaf Extract which claims to naturally smooth and soften dry, damaged hair my hair may not feel so matted and dry but even after washing unfortunately my hair proceeded to look more dry than it did prior to using. I had high hopes for this shampoo as I like Essano as a brand and have used their other products in the past and had really enjoyed them however my blonde hair ended up looking quite 'fried' and the various blonde shades on my lengths ended up a lilac/ash colour whilst my root areas remained quite brassy. I happen to like a lilac/ash colour so was not totally upset by this result but if I wanted my whites whiter and my blondes cleaner then I would have been unhappy with the result. After a few uses the lilac/ash and the brassy colours were unfortunately not looking quite so funky anymore and my hair looking less and less healthy ... it got to the point where I didn't feel 'hair happy' leaving the house so I had to have an urgent appointment at the hairdresser and am now sporting a chocolate brown shade.

Tips: Definitely use a conditioner ... I would even consider a leave in conditioner to try keep hair looking healthy.
When I saw a natural brand doing a purple shampoo I though great, all about it! But after using this my hair felt like straw and there was no change to the tone at all. Super disappointed, I had such high hopes
I was lucky enough to get this in the vault. I was very excited to try it out. The cosistaincy is a runny dark purple and it comes in a very nice round bottle with a dispenser.
This shampoo doesent make any bubbles and it didnt feel like it cleand my hair coz of no bubbles. I didnt loke the smell and i didnt like the way it made my hair feel it male it feel dryish. My sculpt was very very itchy after using it but as soon as i put keratin in amd dried it, it was feeling better.
After drying mu hair and styling it did look fabulous. The blond was very nice and blond no rusty coloirs left behing. But this is more like a colour enhancer than a shampoo for me.
I disnt like this shampoo even thou it did make my hair look great i doubt that i wil repurchase thiz.
Tried this a few times on blonde coloured hair and it did a bad job of actually cleaning my hair. Even when use twice it left my hair feeling straw like and it just didn't look or feel clean. It worked ok for tone correction though.
