john masters organicsShampoo for Dry Hair with Evening Primrose Good for Thinning, & Color Treated Hair - Moisturizer Infused with Essential Oils, Proteins, & Amino Acids - Sulfate Free - 8 fl oz (Pack of 1)

Nice relaxing, herbal, gender neutral smell. Usually I prefer a scentless shampoo because I don't enjoy perfume smells but I've been using this for weeks now and have developed no aversion to the smell. At any rate the scent really does not linger in my hair, but I wouldn't mind if it did.I don't need a big bottle as I only wash my hair every 3-4 days, so it lasts me a while. I use it w/the citrus neroli conditioner (can also be used as a leave in) and the rose and apricot leave in cream conditioner. I have no problems with dryness and have only seen improvements to shine and the strength of my hair. I have fine,long hair and only shampoo my scalp and deeply condition only the ends of my hair...that may be why I haven't experienced dryness. It completely cleans without stripping my hair. I have noticed no buildup of any kind.

Was very disappointed in this. Left my hair greasy. Love the conditioner but the shampoo is a NO!! Would not buy again or recommend to anyone.

It leaves my hair soft when it gets dry. But I was expecting more hydration

Shampoo tends to strip my hair. This shampoo is healthy and gentle.

I've used this product for YEARS and love it! Super healthy and nice hair, and with a nontoxic product!If you have harsh water, chlorinated or heavily chlorinated water etc this might not be enough to wash away all the oil that your body has generated to compensate for the loss of oil due to the harsh water. The same can be said of using stronger/harsher shampoo. Your body will compensate for the loss of oil, and this will not be enough to wash away that oil.When you first start to use it, your skin will need to adjust to not creating so much oil, and you'll need to use it for a few days before your hair stops being too oily. During this transition, you can wash your hair more frequently, and then back off as your body adjusts.The only frustrating thing is that it does not suds up (I think this is partly the reason it is not too harsh) and doesn't easily get below the surface of my hair to my scalp. I've thought I could use a bottle with a spout (similar to the perm bottles or the old restaurant ketchup bottles) so that I can apply it directly to my scalp, but haven't tried this. For now, I just use a bit more shampoo, and spend a bit more time working into my hair. :)Would not go with any other product!

I love that the ingredients are clean but I was not a fan of the scent. I’m big into how my product smells and this I was not a huge fan of. I also felt like it was overly drying to my hair. It for my hair clean though.

I'm a big fan of the John Masters line, but this shampoo is not one of my favorites. The smell is very herbal, but in a slightly medicinal way. It creates a nice lather in the shower, though it felt a bit stripping (while wet). That being said - after I used this (in combination with the John Masters lavender avocado conditioner / apricot hair milk) - my hair *did* look quite nice !

I've used this almost exclusively for years and it works great for my delicate, thin hair. I also like their detangler and deep conditioner. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't find these products, because I don't even have a second choice. I used to use only unscented products which tend to be a bit utilitarian, and also hard to find. Yet I can tolerate whatever John Masters uses for fragrances, which I believe to be natural plant extracts, but I can't read the tiny print on the bottle even with my glasses. As an added plus, this shampoo does not wash out the natural henna hair color I use, (which is the Rainbow Research brand, the best product of its kind I have found). I mean, henna and other botanical dyes do wash out of your hair slowly even if you use just water, but it is nice when your shampoo doesn't effect it any more than necessary. John Masters is as gentle on my hair and my henna dye as anything I have found.
