I picked this up when I saw it on special at 4 square. I don't think I would pay full price for it as $15.99 is just way more than I usually spend. It comes in a lovely pink bottle with the Essano branding.
It is a nice consistency and lathers up really well in my hair. I always shampoo twice these days, but the second shampoo you only need a small amount. I actually hate the bottles, it is so hard to get anything out, I wish they would make the plastic softer or something!
It does a great job at cleaning my hair and doesn't make my hair feel matted or tangled. It smells really nice, it is quite strong so maybe have a whiff in the shop to see if you like it.
Overall it is a nice shampoo but nothing spectacular so I would not purchase it again. I did not pair this with the matching conditioner but I remember using that and loving it so they would probably be great when paired together.
My hair is dry long and thin. I wanted this shampoo to work on my hair as I love so many of essanos products. I used this shampoo daily for about a week and found it made my hair dull, greasy and lifeless. I also found the bottle really difficult to open while in the shower and hard to get the shampoo out - the bottle is not a soft plastic, it was quite stiff and as the shampoo is quite thick it made it hard to squeeze the product out. The things I did like were the scent and the product size.
