### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game changer for frizz control
*by S***R on March 12, 2025*

I’ve tried multiple shampoos to tame my frizzy hair, but this one truly stands out. After about 2 weeks my hair felt smoother, more manageable and far less frizzy. No more looking like a lion😜

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth and Satisfying
*by A***E on November 1, 2023*

I’ve been using Alba Botanica So Smooth Shampoo Gardenia for several years now, and it has certainly left an impression:Scent: The gentle tropical scent is a pleasant addition to my shower routine. It’s not too overpowering but leaves a subtle, refreshing fragrance in my hair.Texture: The shampoo’s texture is just right—neither too runny nor too thick. It’s easy to work into a rich lather, making it a joy to use.Cleansing: This shampoo does a great job of cleansing my hair. It effectively removes dirt, oil, and styling product residues without over-drying or causing irritation.Hair Type: I have naturally curly hair, and while this shampoo works well for me, I feel it could offer a bit more in terms of maintaining my curls’ bounce and shape.Ingredients: One of the standout features is the use of natural and botanical ingredients. I appreciate that it’s free from harsh chemicals, making it a healthier choice for my hair.Performance: After using Alba Botanica So Smooth Shampoo, my hair feels smoother and more manageable. It helps reduce frizz and adds a subtle shine, which is a plus.Price: While it’s not the cheapest shampoo on the market, the quality justifies the cost. I consider it a good value for the benefits it offers.Overall: Alba Botanica So Smooth Shampoo Gardenia is a solid choice for those looking for a more natural, eco-conscious hair care option. While it may not be perfect for all hair types, it does a commendable job of delivering smoother, cleaner, and better-looking hair.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In love with the scent
*by H***N on March 23, 2024*

I purchased the Alba Botanica - gardenia - shampoo nine months ago because I tried it in a friend’s shower and loved the authentic smell of gardenias, something I grew up with. At first I used it just as shampoo, but soon I started using it for body wash and facial cleanser as well. It is great in all three uses. I use a single pump for my hair and another one or two for the rest of my body. It lathers really well! My skin doesn’t feel dried out afterwards either. I shower every other day or so and I’m buying my second bottle now. There’s a LOT of product in the bottle.
