My parents always used to buy Alberto Balsam shampoos when I was growing up just because they were cheap. I'd tried pretty much every type they do but I'd never come across this Coconut & Lychee one before. I love the smell of coconut so when I saw this one I had to give it a go. I bought the shampoo and the matching conditioner for just £1 each.

The packaging is quite plain and simple but they don't look really cheap which is good for something that only costs a quid. The bottle is white semi transparent plastic, so you can always see when you're running out, and it has a flip top lid making it easy and convenient to use.

The shampoo isn't particularly thick in consistency but it has a creamier texture than most of their other shampoos. It lathers really quickly and makes a lovely thick luxurious lather that feels really nice. The smell is absolutely, it has a creamy coconut scent but also a lovely tropical fruitiness from the lychee.

I find this feels quite moisturising when I'm using it, but not so much that it feels like it's going to weigh my hair down or leave it greasy. It rinses out easily and my hair is left feeling clean and fresh. Once it's dry my hair feels quite a bit softer and smoother than with other shampoos. My hair is really fine and I find this leaves it without a bit more body and bounce than most shampoos, but especially than other moisturising shampoos.

All in all I think this is a great shampoo and probably my favourite of the Alberto Balsam range. It's fantastic vale for money and I'd recommend it to anyone, for £1 it's worth a shot!
