Advantages: strong herbal scent, makes hair shiny, lathers well

Disadvantages: strong herbal scent?!

In my old age (27!) I've started to get a bit more green and ethical and have wanted to buy animal cruelty free shampoos. Aveda are totally cruely free in that neither the product or ingredients have been tested on animals.

The main ingredients in this shampoo are: coriander oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, orange oil bitter and wheat conditioners. The scent of this is really strong and those ingredients do come through in the scent. If you do not like strong scents then this may not be the shampoo for you as it is quite "heady" and the scent remains on your hair for a while!

Now on the Aveda website it recommends that this shampoo is best for daily use as it gentle and whilst cleansing also nourishes. It also says it is suitable for all hair types.

The liquid itself when in your hair lathers really well so you do not need lots of this product which makes it more cost effective than your average shampoo. A 250ml bottle will cost you £9.30 from their website.

After using this shampoo I did find my hair looked a bit shiner than normal and I think it is probably is worth the money it costs. However I think I will try one of their other shampoos next as I reckon there may be one more suitable for my hair which will bring better results!

Summary: Not bad for my 1st try with Aveda!
