Also, the fact that this shampoo contained rosemary as one of its ingredients; it enticed me to buy it because of how effectively rosemary is known to work on the scalp and hair.

Part of the Aveeno Scalp Soothing Haircare Collection, this conditioner contains oat as the first ingredient, which is known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. All Aveeno hair care products are made with balanced blends of wholesome ingredients and are free from sulfates, parabens and dyes. It can help promote better hair strength, by nourishing the hair strands from within and can thereby reduce hair fall. A little of this shampoo goes a long way into creating a gentle lather that cleans my hair thoroughly, leaving it soft and sleek and manageable. My scalp also feels fresh and clean afterwards and while I do still have to wash daily, using something this gentle means my shampoo always helps and never hurts. I truly detest strong smells! So as for me, if shampoo has a mild fragrance, it would suit me perfectly.When I came across this Aveeno Fresh Greens Blend Shampoo and Conditioner specifically formulated for use on colour-treated hair, I was more than happy! Clarify and volumize your hair with Aveeno Fresh Green Blend Shampoo. This volumizing shampoo helps promote a healthy scalp while refreshing your strands and adding healthy body to thin hair. Great for fine to medium hair, the fresh greens formula adds body and leaves hair feeling refreshed and naturally nourished. The conditioner contains no silicones and this is one of the main reasons why it made my hair feel luscious and gave it volume, as the conditioner didn’t weigh down my locs. It can nourish and promote repair of the damaged hair follicles, with its antioxidant properties, in turn promoting hair growth with an increase in hair strength, contributing to reduced hair fall and breakage.

I had to agree with the popular Youtuber UKBeautyroom who said that the conditioner is moisturizing but not particularly “slippery” and gives volume to hair after using and doesn’t weigh it down. It also has a “light peppermint scent but not as much as the shampoo”. So since this shampoo is specifically made for colour-treated hair, I was hoping for the best effects.Up until now, most of the shampoos I used always faded my hair colour, some drastically and some a little. So when I came across this shampoo, I was very excited about trying it out. I use hair care products like oils, serums, hair sprays and hair masks, which tend to leave buildup on my scalp and hair if it doesn’t get washed off properly. Because I like DreamCoat so much, I decided to try some other products and while the hard water filter didn't seem to make much of a difference, I am absolutely, positively, totally in love in love with their Color Safe shampoo. Like all their products, its focus is on keeping your dyed haircolor sharp, but this is just a great shampoo and I would recommend it to anyone, dyed hair or not. It's clean. No dyes, no perfumes, no sulfates, no silicones, no conditioning agents, no parabens, and it's even gluten-free. I really like these, too! My favorite shampoos were Perfect Air Dry Shampoo and Touchably Soft, but I felt like they all did a good job of cleaning my hair and leaving my scalp neither too dry nor too oily. The conditioners were less exciting for me because I don't typically condition much, but they seemed to be pretty decent, too. Important note here: Because of said highly sensitive skin, my ideal product will always be dye and perfume free. Yay for Aveeno for making this dye-free. Boo for Aveeno for ADDING PERFUME TO A PRODUCT MADE WITH ROSEMARY, PEPPERMINT, AND CUCUMBER all of which have a pleasant natural scent. Maybe they just didn't blend together well with the other ingredients but I will never buy this shampoo again despite the fact that it did a pretty good job of cleaning my hair. The bit of moisture really is just a bit of moisture, I didn't get insta-oily right away, nor did I get that overdry scalp that tends to lead to extra oil production. But this shampoo smells so strongly that even hours after my hair had dried I could still smell the perfume. What's really weird is that the perfume is the least of the ingredients, so, yeah, it's just very strong.

But nevertheless, I did a little bit of my own research and found out that glycerin fades colour only if the hair is recently dyed and waiting a couple of days before using a glycerin-infused shampoo wouldn’t do your hair colour any harm. I tried the full set even though some of the shampoos and all of the conditioners were not really my type.The shampoo contains no harsh chemicals like parabens or sulfates, thus it felt super gentle on my sensitive scalp. This aspect will test how well the product worked on my hair in terms of making my hair feel soft, smooth, taming frizz, decreasing dryness, reducing hair loss etc.

Oats contain fiber and minerals like zinc and iron along with omega-6 fatty acids which, according to this research by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University are very beneficial for the hair and can stimulate hair growth. Gemz makes shampoo and conditioner swatches similar to the EC30 swatches, but they have a full line of shampoos and conditioners for different hair types and you can buy mix and match kits of various types. Aveeno is known for bringing the soothing and healing properties of nature to skin care and now offers nourishing care for your scalp and hair. We’re not only mindful of what goes into our formulations, but also of our impact on the world around us.

By Product

This was an impulse buy at the drug store. I'd recently cancelled my custom shampoo delivery because I liked it but for what I was paying I felt like I really should have LOVED it. I was drawn to this particular brand because as someone with very, very sensitive skin I am very, very familiar with Aveeno, although I'd never used any of their shampoos before. I really liked that the front label proclaimed no sulfates, no dyes, and no parabens. Here's Aveeno's description: This shampoo comes in a liquid form and lathers very well. I love the foam it creates, making it very easy for me to massage it into my scalp and hair. Even though the product description stated that this shampoo is made for colour-treated hair, I happened to see that this shampoo contained the ingredient “glycerin”, which made me a little apprehensive to try it out because glycerin is known to fade dye.
