Colour-safe hair care is designed to cleanse gently, reduce colour fading, and keep hair soft and manageable. I recently tested this colour shampoo and conditioner during my 11-day trip to Hokkaido after colouring my hair, and here's how they performed.

I received complimentary 50ml travel-sized bottles of the colour shampoo and conditioner with my hair salon package, which I brought along on my recent trip to Hokkaido. Having coloured my hair just three days before my departure, it was the perfect opportunity to see how well they would protect my freshly coloured hair under different climates.

[ Review ] Suu Balm Gentle Moisturising Anti Dandruff Shampoo

 

Product Description

Suu Balm Gentle Moisturising Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is formulated for itchy, flaky, sensitive scalp. 3 anti-dandruff actives reduce scalp flaking in 7 days, and menthol provides cooling itch relief in minutes. This shampoo is sulfate, paraben, silicone, and fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.

WHERE TO BUY : Shopee

How To Use :

Apply 1-3 pumps, depending on your hair length, to your wet hair, then massage onto scalp and through to hair ends to gently cleanse. 

Leave in for several minutes for best effect, and then rinse thoroughly. 

Repeat if necessary.

An itchy scalp can be both frustrating and uncomfortable, especially when it comes with stubborn dandruff. Common causes of dandruff and scalp itch include an overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast, excess oil production, dry skin, product buildup, sensitivity to hair care products, and skin conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis. While proper scalp hygiene and thoroughly drying your hair after washing can help maintain a healthy scalp, finding the right anti-dandruff shampoo is often key to managing the condition.

[ Review ] PHS Hairscience Res Repair Shampoo

 

Product Description

PHS Hairscience Res Repair Shampoo is a dual-function, sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo that cleanses, repairs, protects and strengthens your hair & scalp. It helps to restore and replenish moisture, nourishes and strengthens hair for better manageability. 

I received a complimentary PHS Hairscience RES Repair Shampoo with my recent purchase and decided to put it to the test after finishing my PHS Hairscience PRO Shampoo Stem C+ Calming Shampoo. I’ll be honest, I used to be pretty carefree with my shampoo choices, switching between whatever was interesting in the market and assuming my thick hair could handle anything.

But things changed when I noticed visible thinning at my hair crown. That was when haircare suddenly became serious, and choosing the right shampoo for hair fall prevention became a priority. These days, trying a new shampoo can feel nerve-wracking especially when you’re unsure if it’ll help or worsen hair shedding.

Many people experience androgenetic alopecia, also known as female or male pattern hair loss, which is hereditary and can be passed down from either side of the family.

Here’s how genetics plays a role:

• Your genes can influence hair follicle sensitivity to hormones like DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which can cause follicles to shrink.
• This leads to shorter growth cycles, finer strands, and eventually visible thinning.
• It often starts at the crown or hairline, depending on gender and genetic pattern.

However, genetics is not the only cause. Other factors like stress, hormones, scalp health, aging, and nutritional deficiencies also contribute which is why hair care, scalp care, and lifestyle still matter even if hair thinning runs in the family.

Product Decription

Nature's Organic Sense Anti Hair Loss Shampoo is enriched with organic chamomile flower extract, green tea extract, and citric acid. Specifically formulated to combat hair loss, this gentle shampoo not only cleanses delicately but also stimulates oxygenation and activity in the hair bulbs. It helps maintain a stable hydrolipidic balance and enhances the exchange of natural nutrients, ultimately fortifying weak hair for a healthier, glossier appearance. This formula is crafted without parabens, colorants, SLS, SLES, or allergen-containing fragrances. Plus, it's infused with organic extracts for a more natural touch.

I received a 50ml travel-sized bottle of Nature's Organic Sense Anti Hair Loss Shampoo as part of a hair package and decided to give it a try after returning from Perth. While my hair texture felt fairly good during the trip, I still experienced noticeable shedding, especially when blow-drying.

Hair loss shampoos are specially formulated to go beyond basic cleansing. Unlike regular shampoos, they often contain active ingredients such as biotin, caffeine, niacinamide, or herbal extracts that help strengthen weakened strands, improve scalp circulation, and reduce breakage. Many are also designed to nourish hair follicles and balance scalp health, creating the right conditions for stronger, thicker, and more resilient hair over time.

Direction: Apply to wet hair, massage and distribute evenly. Rinse thoroughly.

During the wash, the shampoo delivered a cooling, tingling sensation on my scalp that felt both refreshing and invigorating. It doesn't lather much, and there isn't much foam, so it may not suitable for one who prefers a foamy hair shampoo.

I was happy to see no strands shedding during rinsing, though some still fell out while blow-drying. After use, my hair felt thoroughly cleansed, fresh, soft, and bouncy. Overall, it provided a soothing scalp experience and a clean finish, making it a nice step in my routine compared to regular shampoos.

Where To Buy : Shopee

The key ingredients are....

Organic Chamomile Flower Extract : Chamomile is best known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. In shampoos, it helps calm the scalp, reduce irritation, and maintain a healthier environment for hair growth. While it doesn’t directly stop hair loss, a calm and balanced scalp can reduce stress-related shedding and improve overall scalp health, which indirectly supports stronger hair.

[ Review ] OC Naturals Berry Bliss Kids 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash

 

Product Description

OC Naturals 3-in-1 Berry Bliss Conditioning Shampoo and Body Wash will have your little ones wanting bath time! The natural, plant-based, gentle shampoo, conditioner and body wash all-in-one is enriched with vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, raspberry extract and wheat germ oil, and with a gentle, blissfully sweet fragrant formula, it makes it the total cleansing and moisturising package

I purchased OC Naturals Berry Bliss Kids 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash sometime back, after falling in love with their body washes. Their body washes worked very well for me, but not the shampoos. 

This is formulated for children and can be used as a body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I purchased it, thinking it will be gentle for my sensitive skin and scalp.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

OC Naturals Berry Bliss Kids 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash is a 400ml sized bottle with a flick top cap. The cap does not function well and cannot be closed fully, causing leakage at times. It has an artificial berry fragrance that may delight children but probably not discerning adults. 

How To Use :

Apply to wet hair, form a gentle lather then rinse. Apply to a moist puff or wash cloth & gently lather all over body then rinse.

Performance and Ingredients

I used OC Naturals Berry Bliss Kids 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash as a shampoo initially, but it was drying, causing my hair to be straw-like with horrible hair fall that I had to stop after 3 uses. 

As a body wash, the gel-like contents felt slightly sticky although it lathers and cleanses well. Not an ideal body wash, shampoo or conditioner and definitely not a repurchase. 

I realized it costs 3 times more in Singapore, as compared to buying in Australia, while researching for this post. What a disappointing and expensive purchase!

Water, Coco-Glucoside*, Sodium Coco-Sulfate*, Glycerin*, Lauryl Lactyl Lactate*, Glyceryl Oleate*, Polyquaternium-10*, Fragrance, Triticum, Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Citric Acid*, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate*.

*Plant derived.

Conclusion

OC Naturals Berry Bliss Kids 3-in-1 Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash may come in a fun, fruity scent that appeals to children, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. As a shampoo, it left my hair dry and brittle with noticeable hair fall after just a few uses. While it performs decently as a body wash in terms of lather, the slightly sticky texture and poor packaging—especially the faulty cap that leaks—add to the overall disappointment.

To make matters worse, I later discovered it’s priced nearly three times higher in Singapore compared to Australia, making it a costly and underwhelming purchase. Between the drying formula, ineffective 3-in-1 functionality, and inconvenient packaging, this is one I won’t be repurchasing.

[ Review ] PHS Pro Shampoo Stem C+ Calming Shampoo

 

Product Description

Powered by ProLac P3® and Phyto-Peptides Infusion Technology, this sulphate-free shampoo gently cleanses and calms irritation, preventing itch and redness. It helps to restore scalp balance with enhanced immunity to protect against inflammation. Suitable for Dry/Sensitive Scalp

I first tried the PHS Hairscience Adv Detangling Hair Spray back in 2018, followed by PHS HAIRSCIENCE FEM Daily Regime Starter Kit in 2022. The detangling spray was decent while the starter kit wasn't a good fit for me. 

PHS Pro Shampoo Stem C+ Calming Shampoo was recommended to me, after a hair scalp trial and treatment session, together with my sister and mother. Based on my hair condition, PHS Daily Essence, Tonic and weekly elixir, together with this shampoo were recommended for my hair routine but I purchased the shampoo and daily essence only. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

PHS Pro Shampoo Stem C+ Calming Shampoo is housed in a 500ml bottle with a pump dispenser. It has a calming scent and a slightly cooling sensation. The grey contents lather well. 

This product is made in Korea and does not contain parabens, mineral oil, artificial colorant and benzophenone.

[ Review ] As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo

 

Product Description

As I Am Long & Luxe Strengthening Shampoo is a special blend that works to promote healthier hair and scalp. Pamper your naturally curly or kinky hair with As I Am’s Long and Luxe Straightening Shampoo. Harnessing the properties of pomegranate, passion fruit and biologically certified aloe vera, the lightweight formula gently cleanses the hair and scalp, while promoting stronger, longer locks to leave strands strengthened from root to tip. Helps minimize tangles and comb out damaged hair for easier styling.

Benefits :

- Removes flakes and product Build-up, while also detangling.

- Moisturizes and cleanses hair and scalp.

- Strengthens hair for longer hair lengths.

- A special blend that works to promote healthier hair and scalp.

Made in USA, As I Am contains science backed formulas designed specifically for tightly coiled and curly hair; each with an impressive ingredient listing that includes many of nature's finest organic ingredients.

I came across this brand on Iherb ( Use OKI787 for 5% off your order ) while on the search for strengthening hair products where the reviews seem promising. My current favourite regular shampoos are Shea Moisture Moringa & Avocado Power Greens Shampoo and Innersense Hydrating Cream Hairbath but I needed something to target hair loss. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo has a sweet fruity pomegranate and passionfruit scent. It comes in a 355ml bottle with a flick top cap

Performance and Ingredients

While I really like the fruit zesty scent, foams slightly and how well it cleanses my hair, however there was hair fall which was heartbreaking as I could not afford to lose more hair than I already do. It was drying, left my hair straw-like during rinsing and tangled my hair after air-dried.

On Iherb, there was no indication that the shampoo was made for tightly coiled and curly hair which made me purchase it, but on the Our Story website, it seemed to imply that their products are specially formulated for tightly coiled and curly hair so you might have better luck if your hair falls into that category. 

The key ingredients are....

Pomegranate : Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals which nourish the scalp and strengthen hair.

Passion Fruit : High in vitamin C, which aids in collagen production essential for maintaining hair strength and elasticity.

Aloe Vera : Has natural moisturizing properties, which help to nourish the scalp and promote healthy hair.

Aqua/water/eau, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Disodium cocoamphodipropionate, Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid, Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, Cocamide mipa, Polysorbate 20, Punica granatum fruit juice, Glycerin, Passiflora edulis fruit juice, Hydrolyzed lupine protein, Serenoa serrulata fruit extract, Linum usitatissimum (linseed) seed extract, Melia azadirachta leaf extract, Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Betaine, Royal jelly, Niacinamide, Phytosterols, Caffeine, Biotin, Trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract, Equisetum hiemale extract, Urtica dioica (nettle) extract, Cola acuminata seed extract, Piroctone olamine, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Maltodextrin, Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl glycol, Citric acid, Fragrance/parfum, Beta vulgaris (beet) root extract, Sodium benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tetrasodium edta, Ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol, Polyacrylamide, Benzyl benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Red 33/ci 17200

Conclusion

To conclude, As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo was a major disappointment. My hair was straw-like during rinsing and tangled after air-dried and along the way, there was hair fall. Not a repurcahse!

[ Review ] Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony

 

Product Description

KLORANE Shampoo with peony extract, with its fluid texture and translucent pink colour, offers irritated scalps a much-needed cooling effect. This protective and soothing shampoo, which can be used as often as necessary, is a truly effective solution for irritated scalps that itch, particularly as a consequence of dandruff. Paraben free.

I purchased Klorane Soothing Shampoo (Peony) together with Klorane Ultra-Gentle Shampoo (Oat Milk) some time back. While Klorane Ultra-Gentle Shampoo with Oat Milk worked relatively well on me, I can't say the same for Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony is a 400ml product housed in a clear bottle with a flick top cap that dispenses the pink gel shampoo for use. It has a subtle floral fragrance and looks so pretty in pink.

How To Use :

1) Apply to wet Hair, lather and rinse thoroughly. 

2) No need to repeat application. 

note : Suitable for frequent use. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly.

Performance and Ingredients

Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony offers a calming sensation that helps soothe the scalp. It lathers lightly with gentle suds and cleanses effectively. However, I noticed an increase in hair fall after using it, which was disappointing and not ideal for my needs.

While I generally avoid shampoos with Sodium Laureth Sulfate, I decided to give this one a try. Unfortunately, it didn’t work well for me, so I won’t be repurchasing it. It’s not the best fit for my hair care routine.

Water (Aqua). Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate. Cocamidopropyl betaine. Paeonia Albiflora root extract (Paeonia Albiflora). Citric Acid. Fragrance (Parfum). Imidazolidinyl Urea. Panthenol. Piroctone Olamine. Polyquaternium - 10. Propylene Glycol. Red 33 (Cl 17200)

Conclusion

To conclude, while Klorane Soothing Shampoo with Peony offers a calming sensation that helps soothe the scalp, lathers lightly with gentle suds and cleanses effectively but there was an increase in hair fall after using it, which was disappointing and not ideal for my needs.

The result is noticeably fuller looking hair with amplified body, volume, and shine.

I purchased Andalou Naturals Argan Stem Cell Shampoo on Iherb ( use OKI787 for up to 10% off ) sometime back, after reading many positive reviews on it. 

Having good experiences with their past products such as Andalou Naturals Instant Luminous Turmeric & Gold Clay Face Mask, Andalou Naturals Instant Brightening Face Mask ( Pumpkin and Honey ), Andalou Naturals Avo Cocoa Skin Food Mask and Andalou Naturals Apricot Probiotic Cleansing Milk, I was keen to try out Andalou Naturals Argan Stem Cell Shampoo.

PhytoCellTec® Argan Stem Cells is said to support vitality for stronger strands with less breakage as argan oil nourishes and conditions for flexible strength and smooth manageability with noticeably fuller looking hair with amplified body, volume, and shine.

Andalou Naturals Argan Stem Cell Shampoo lathers and foams well but it was drying on my hair since Day 1, leaving my hair straw-like and causing hair fall. 

While it left my hair clean, soft and manageable, however, it was straw-like and caused more hair fall when wet. Not the perfect match for my hair.

The notable ingredients are...

Aloe Vera : Derived from the leaves of the plant; rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, humectants, soothing properties with a pH close to our own skin.

Argan Oil : Derived from the tree kernels; deeply moisturizing, rich in fatty acids (oleic, linoleic).

[ Review ] Pyuru Rishiri Color Shampoo

 

Product Description

Now dye your hair with shampoo! You can now wash + dye with only 1 bottle!

Rishiri color shampoo [for gray hair] with a new concept of "washing" + "dying" with shampoo. Just by replacing your usual shampoo with Rishiri Color Shampoo, your gray hair will gradually become less noticeable, which is very easy. By using it as a set with "Rishiri Color Care Conditioner" for color shampoo, the color will last longer and your hair will look even more shiny and youthful.

Ever since I started working, my grey hairs have been increasing, and now I need to color my hair every 4-6 weeks. My peers are experiencing the same thing. However, I still have a few friends my age who only color their hair when they feel like it, as their greys are sparse and infrequent. Lucky them!

So when I chanced upon these color shampoos that claim to be a fuss-free way to make your greys less noticeable, I leaped at the chance and purchased 2 bottles during a sale.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Rishiri Color Shampoo is housed in a 200ml green opaque bottle with a flick top cap. Even though I chose dark brown, the colour appeared to be almost black so it was the right choice to choose dark brown since black colour can be too dark on mine.

There is not much of a scent and the consistency felt more like a thick concentrated kind of shampoo contents.

I tried adding hair conditioner or hair mask before or after shampoo-ing, and while it does made my hair softer so that the shampoo was easier to cleanse the hair, I still experience hair fall. Not a pleasant experience. 

I took a few months' break from the product and returned back to using it recently, but the same issue still occurred so this is just not for my hair type.

[ Review ] Virtue Flourish Shampoo & Conditioner

 

I purchased Cult Beauty The Volume Edit which consists of Virtue Flourish Shampoo 60ml & Virtue Flourish Conditioner 60ml, together with other hair products. 

Prior to this purchase, I have never heard of Virtue as the brand is not available in Singapore. Hailing from USA, Virtue is built by a team of believers, optimists, and do-gooders who strive to make a real, impactful difference and make products that deliver on what they promise.

It has been said that half of all women will suffer from hair loss in their lifetime and Virtue, together with their team of doctors, scientists and beauty experts intend to change that.

Powered by two groundbreaking keratin proteins and born from regenerative medicine, Virtue treatments cleanse, purify, and enrichen the scalp, creating fertile ground for hair to grow. As each new hair emerges, it’s nourished and strengthened so it can survive and thrive for dramatically thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

It cleanses the hair shaft and clears debris from follicle openings, creating an environment for healthy growth.

4) For best results, follow with Flourish Conditioner for Thinning Hair.

[ Review ] ShinkoQ Antipollution Shampoo Sweet Bloom + Treatment Sweet Bloom

 

Its been said that air pollutants such as heavy metals, OM and gas pollutants such as SO2, NO2 or PAH can settle on the scalp and hair causing irritation and hair's cuticle damage. 

These pollutants may migrate through the hair follicle, leading to oxidative stress, excessive sebum secretion. redness, itching, dandruff, oily scalp and hair loss hence in recent years, there have been a range of hair-pollution products in the market. 

Made in Japan, ShinkoQ (シンコキュウ) is a hair care brand, offering a range of anti-pollution hair products including shampoo, treatment, hair mist and hair oil. 

The series features the brand’s original anti-pollution formula that protects the hair from air pollutants such as pollen, cigarette smoke and chemical substances and repairs damaged hair. It conditions hair and scalp, prevents external aggressors from adhering and washes them away gently. Each product is available with two scents (sweet bloom and aqua magnolia).

The product name derives from “shinkokyu”, which is Japanese for “deep breathing”. The minimalist packaging design for this product line aims to fulfil consumer demands and stand out on the market. 

The bottle fronts do without the product name and instead feature only a yellow “slash”. This minimalist slash mark denotes something “prohibited” and thus symbolises the theme of anti-pollution, while it is also easy to remember and recognise even in small product images.

I was lucky to win a set of ShinkoQ Antipollution Shampoo Sweet Bloom and ShinkoQ Antipollution Treatment Sweet Bloom from a giveaway hosted by Osakakuma.

[ Review ] OC Naturals Normal Balance, Silky Smooth Shampoo

 

OC Normal Balance Shampoo with Organic Aloe Vera & Ginseng cleanses and revitalises your hair. It is suitable for all hair types and is enriched with bitter orange extract for an ultra healthy, silky soft finish.

The plant derived formula is specially designed to balance normal hair with optimal levels of moisturising and cleansing ingredients, leaving your hair feeling clean, soft and manageable every day.

OC Naturals Silky Smooth Shampoo will help tame the frizziest of hair. The plant-based ingredients, including lotus extract and certified organic moringa oil, provide gentle nourishment that helps tame frizz-prone hair, leaving it silky smooth.

I chanced upon OC Naturals range of products in Fairprice after reading about its collaboration with Woolsworth in Australia in the news. I made 3 trips across different branches just to get their products. 

They weren't available in every branch and their store prices were different from their online stores. On top of that, the bottles were leaking. I had to return the first bottle ( OC Naturals body wash ) as it was leaking all over my reusable bag and the Fairprice store manager retorted that "perhaps it won't leak after you get home when you place it upright". 

The 2 bottles ( OC Naturals body wash and kids' shampoo ) which I purchased on my second trip was leaking as well but I gave up on asking for an exchange. Thankfully, OC Naturals body wash which I purchased on my 3rd trip reached home intact. The caps were definitely a problem. Haiz. 

Hailing from Australia, OC Naturals environmentally friendly personal care products are made from high performing plant-derived ingredients in recycled and recyclable eco-friendly packaging. Pure and simple, OC Naturals is as kind to your body as it is to the planet. You can read more about their commitment on their website.

[ Review ] L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo

 

Product Description

With its gel texture, L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo cleanses hair, and helps repair and strengthen dry, brittle and damaged hair. From root to tip, the hair fiber seems strengthened. Silky and radiant with vitality, hair reveals its natural shine. 

The new formula contains a repairing complex with a blend of essential oils, composed of Angelica, with anti-breakage patented efficacy. 

HAIR IS 3X* STRONGER, SPLIT ENDS ARE 3X* MORE REPAIRED

*Instrumental tests on the Intensive Repair routine (shampoo, conditioner and mask), compared with untreated hair.

The cocktail of 5 essential oils (ylang-ylang, sweet orange, lavender, geranium, and angelica) promises a pleasant sensory experience, while the exquisite scent awakens the senses.

Benefits:

- Helps repair and strengthen hair from root to tip

- Hair is smooth, supple and beautifully shiny

I received a 50ml travel sized L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo from sending my rinsed and empty bottles for recycling at L'Occitane Big Little Things Campaign last year. 

L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo comes in a 50ml plastic bottle with a flick top cap almost similar to the one shown in the picture above ( which is 75ml ). 

I fell in love with the scent the moment I used it. It smells so good and reminded me of the lovely time I had in Las Vegas shopping for their products back in 2008 to gift them for friends. 

Gel in texture, it lathers very well, giving rise to loads of foam for a good hair washing experience due to its inclusion of Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Hair is indeed clean, smooth and supple but its too early to judge if hair is stronger at 50ml size, however, L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo definitely comes in first for its sensorial experience. 

Unfortunately, I started to experience hair fall after using about 70% of the contents so it was indeed pretty disappointing. 

Ingredients : 

AQUA/WATER - SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE - DECYL GLUCOSIDE - PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE - COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE - CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS (ORANGE) OIL - LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) OIL - PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS FLOWER OIL - CANANGA ODORATA FLOWER OIL - ANGELICA ARCHANGELICA ROOT OIL - ANGELICA ARCHANGELICA SEED OIL - AVENA STRIGOSA SEED EXTRACT - LAVANDULA HYBRIDA OIL - HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL - PANTHENOL - SODIUM CHLORIDE - POLYQUATERNIUM-7 - GLYCERIN - COCO-GLUCOSIDE - GLYCERYL OLEATE - SODIUM BENZOATE - HYDROXYPROPYL GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE - CITRIC ACID - LECITHIN - POTASSIUM SORBATE - HYDROGENATED PALM GLYCERIDES CITRATE - ASCORBYL PALMITATE - TOCOPHEROL - PARFUM/FRAGRANCE - LIMONENE – LINALOOL.

Where To Purchase : Amazon | Amazon SG

Conclusion 

To conclude, L'Occitane Aromachologie Intensive Repair Shampoo smells divine and so relaxing to the senses. It lathers very well due to the inclusion of SLS but may not be a good fit for those who prefer SLS-free shampoos. 

My hair is left clean, smooth and supple but the size is too small to judge if its effective in making hair stronger. Adding to that, hair fall wasn't expected so it was a shame.

[ Review ] : Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo

 

Product Description

Formulated for Natural or color treated hair. Enhances shine and conditions without effecting color. Can be used on normal, damaged, bleached, permed, or chemically colored hair. Herbal extracts combined with our colorless Neutral Henna extract provides all the natural benefits of Henna without the color. Henna adds body and shine while smoothing the hair shaft. Biotin is added to help strengthen the hair and can support new hair growth. Leaving your hair feeling and looking healthier.

I purchased Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo from Iherb after reading many positive reviews. With my crown getting flatter, I wanted to try some hair loss shampoo and this presented itself with its reviews. 

Rainbow Research is a family owned and operated company since 1976 making natural body care products.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo is housed in a 360ml plastic pump bottle with an exotic scent that took awhile to get used to. Its not overpowering but its just different. 

The bottles are BPA-free and there is no animal testing, artificial colouring and fragrance.

Performance and Ingredients

Made in USA, the runny shampoo lathers well with foam and cleans effectively. The mild formula is said to add shine, body and conditioning to all hair colors and types and does not irritate the scalp or skin as it brings out your natural highlights.

Made with Neutral (colorless) Henna and Organic Extracts of Marigold, Chamomile, Soy, Lemon Grass and Aloe Vera, Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo is suitable for normal or color treated hair.

Indeed, it made my hair soft and shiny and look healthier unfortunately, it doesn't help strengthen my hair or support new hair growth. There was hair fall and it increases the more I used the shampoo. Running my fingers through my hair also loosen some strands. 

If not for the hair fall, I really enjoyed using the shampoo as it was never drying so I don't need a conditioner. 

Disappointed and not a repurchase!

Purified Water, Lauryl Glucoside (Corn), Decyl Glucoside (Corn), Cocomidopropyl Betain (Coconut), Water Extract of Neutral Henna, Biotin, Organic Extracts of Marigold, Chamomile, Soy, Lemon Grass & Aloe Vera, Sodium Etidronate (Chelating Agent), Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol (Green Tea), Sorbitol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Citric Acid, Grapefruit Seed Extract (preservative), Natural Fragrance.

Conclusion

To conclude, Rainbow Research Henna & Biotin Herbal Shampoo sounds like a promising shampoo which did deliver on some fronts, like healthier, shiny and soft hair but unfortunately, there was increased hair fall as I almost emptied the shampoo.
