Review on Organic Soap Berry Shampoo For Normal To Oily Hair - 16Oz Sulfate-Free All-Natural Hair Care - Made With Gluten-Free Vegan Ingredients - Enriched With Soap Berries by Ellington Gardner

This was my "I think I made a huge mistake" purchase after trying to go "no 'poo". I first tried "Silicone/Sulfate" free shampoos and figured why stop there? That's when I dove head first into the process of going without shampoo. Sounds gross, I know, but bear with me. I read for months (I'm a bit slow) on the process of transitioning to baking soda washes and apple cider vinegar rinses. I figured the worst that could happen was I ended up with waxy hair. Without softened/filtered water I did, so I switched to soapberries. No, not this stuff yet, I went and bought a bunch of soapberries and made my own liquid. Something was up with that and I started loosing a lot of hair. I freaked out and before trying again with the plain berries and a thicker conditioner, I found NaturOli.First, aaaaah suds again! I missed the suds, they were nice to have back. Second, aaaah thick shampoo that isn't just liquid! I missed the gel consistency as well. I went on my cleansing adventure to find a way to score an extra day of clean looking hair. This almost gets that for me, almost. I've be using this for the last six months and my hair is pretty happy. It stopped falling out (after the plain soapberry liquid) and is nice and shiny. This shampoo has no particular smell, but that's just fine, my hair just smells like.hair. If I wash my hair in the late morning/early afternoon I can squeak two days of clean looking out of it. That's better than I was doing, which was dirty looking by mid afternoon after washing.My only complaints are it's a bit expensive (darn you natural stuff) and I still have to use a conditioner with it despite product claims. I went a couple of weeks without a conditioner when first trying the product and my hair threw a fit. It gets tangled and a bit dry at the ends. I do think I'll try my soapberry liquid again with a sturdier conditioner, but I'll have a bottle of this in my cabinet ready to save the day if I start loosing hair!
