My hair is thick, and naturally frizzy and wavy, with quite dry ends due to bleaching, so few hair products actually end up making my hair feel sleek and silky, but this one does. I've been consistently repurchasing this shampoo since it was released. The shampoo comes in a squeezy plastic bottle made of recycled plastic (bonus!). I do find the packaging a bit awkward, as once the product gets to a 1/4 full, the shampoo just won't come out with ease, but that's my only gripe. The shampoo is white and has a thick texture, and has a heavenly coconut and frangipani scent, that smells really natural and not artificial. The smell is AMAZING and lingers long after I have washed and dried my hair. The shampoo lathers well and washes out easily. I find it doesn't strip my hair and tames my frizziness. I can literally feel as soon as I apply this that my hair feels so much softer and smoother, it genuinely does feel like a salon quality product. I know others have experienced this product as making their hair oily, for me I only wash my hair twice a week, and I don't find an issue, and my hair is naturally quite oily.

Reviews
I like the Essano brand as it’s natural and cruelty-free, and I’ve bought some pretty decent products of theirs in the past, so I thought I’d give this one a go too. I also like products that contain coconut oil, which is known for its hydrating benefits, so that was another draw card for me.
Firstly, I do quite like the way this shampoo is packaged with its big, flat lid - it’s easy to use in the shower and you don’t feel like you have to have a fight with the bottle to get the shampoo out! Lol.
This shampoo smells quite pleasant as well. It’s not too sickly sweet like some coconut oil-containing products can be. It’s not overpowering in any way, it just smells nice, plant-based and natural. The consistency is about right too - not too runny and not too thick.
However, I have to agree with some of the other comments here in that this shampoo just doesn’t offer much of a wow factor or any outstanding benefits. It’s natural, gentle and non-irritating, yes, but does it leave your hair feeling healthier and more hydrated? No. It actually leaves my hair feeling a bit drier and lanker, and for some reason I also end up feeling like I need to wash it more frequently than I usually do.
So I’m just not sold on this shampoo unfortunately. Yes, it’s gentle and non-irritating, but it only provides average to below-average results so it doesn’t make me want to rush out and buy it again.
Essano are headed in the right direction with this product though. They maybe just need to sit down and work out how they can improve on the formula a bit so that it does what it claims it can do and hydrates the hair more effectively.
Washing my hair has always been a necessary evil until now for me, as all previous shampoos I have used have caused my hands to be irritated and itchy, due to sensitive and reactive skin. To find a shampoo that leaves my hair clean and refreshed, and without bullying my skin is a dream come true! I only wash my hair with the Essano now, I can see no faults with this product. Made in New Zealand... nourishing and natural choice of ingredients... kind to skin... and not highly priced either. THANK. YOU. ESSANO!
Tips: I would recommend this shampoo for anyone with easily irritated skin such as eczema
I love the Essano products and this shampoo is no exception. Lovely pink packaging like all their other products. The shampoo lathers well and leaves my hair feeling lovely and clean. And the smell!!!! I LOVE all things coconut and this certainly has a beautiful scent.
Tips: Combine with the Essano Coconut conditioner for a great result.
I was excited to receive this in the 'I can't believe it's hair 2' beauty box. I love anything coconut and had been eyeing this up at the supermarket. The price is a little steep at $16 but I would buy it if it was on special.
It comes in a cute pink bottle which I think is gorgeous packaging. The lid is one where you push down on one side and the other side pops up. My gripe with the bottle is it is so hard to get the shampoo out as you get half way through it so you have to bang it upside down which is really annoying. The plastic bottle is just too hard to squeeze. It would be great if they could change this.
The shampoo itself is gorgeous on my hair. It makes it feel so clean and the smell is delicious. It does not lather heaps like other shampoos I have used, you don't need a lot and I feel a little goes a long way. It washes out easily. I love that the smell lingers. It smells fresh and clean. I feel like it helps my hair stay cleaner for longer also.I use this in conjunction with the matching conditioner and they are a great combo. I hope they sort the bottle issue out as that is the only downside.
I am a huge fan of this product. Another great product by Essano!
The results were fantastic - left my hair soft, silky and smelling delightful! (actually took my back to my holiday in Samoa). The coconut and pawpaw is not only a great combination to help the condition and hydration of your hair, but also smells divine!
I had seen it under the "new products" at the supermarket when it first came out, and I just had to try it - glad I had made the sacrifice of that amount. Although you will notice it on sale often at the local supermarkets.
My hair is very long, normally rather dry and lifeless, but when I had bought this shampoo, it made a dramatic difference! Very clean, soft, full of bounce and volume, easy to maintain and smelling great!
Easy to spot on the shelves, as most Essano products are in simple yet cute pink bottles. Easy to dispense product, and even with the large amount of shampoo I need to wash my long hair, the bottle lasted for a fair while.
If you're wanting great hydration for your hair... look no further! I will definitely be repurchasing.
Tips: Definitely team this with the Essano Coconut Milk Conditioner for ultimate hair care!
Sad that in this day and age I want amazing products every time so when it literally does what it says I kind of feel unimpressed. We are quick to say when they don't meet your requirements but this is a good example of a mid product doing a mid job. It was well priced but clearly it is not a salon product so you don't get a salon result. I liked the fragrance of the shampoo - but I like coconut and it said it was coconut :-) It was not too heavy and didn't leave my hair feeling stripped. A good reliable product. I admit it was over the summer in humidity I was using this product which is notoriously a hard time for shampoo so I was quite generous with my ratings as honestly it did not disappoint
Tips: Don't expect miracles its only a shampoo Don't use too much at once or it will feel harsh Good in summer
Use with matching conditioner for best results! It’s a good shampoo that smells nice (like coconut, funny enough) and doesn’t work up a massive lather. The next day my hair is noticeably shinier and softer. This is by far my favourite shampoo from the Essano range. My hair is very dry and can get a bit frizzy, so I need something that’s really going to care for my hair. Using this shampoo and the conditioner really helps me lock in the moisture.
Would definitely recommend this shampoo, it has left my hair soft and sleek , l also tried they essano hair mask, as l spend a lot of time outside, Lately my normal shampoo Tony guy has left my scalp with itchy redness ,so hopefully this shampoo will settle that down So far so good !
I picked up a bottle of this to try as i really like Essano's face and body ranges.
This shampoo, which comes in a sturdy pop top bottle, isn't terrible - but its not as hydrating as I had hoped.
My hair is dried out by this shampoo - not terribly, but enough to mean I can't use it every wash.
It smells lovely, and I love the shimmery, almost pearlescent look of the formula, but can't confirm that it hydrates my hair.
I'll use this bottle, but probably not replace it
Tips: Definitely give it a go if your hair is healthier than mine, or washed less frequently.
Use the leave in conditioner as well as your normal one n conjunction with this to up the hydration factor.
