Advantages: good price

Disadvantages: not good for fine hair

I saw this Alberto V05 shampoo and I had to purchase it, not because of it's very girly designed bottle but because of the price; it was 97p for a 300ml bottle! Thats a right good bargain! (Wilkinsons).

I wasn't expecting too much from this shampoo, mainly because of how cheap it was, so I prepared myself and was aware that it may not be as good as my regular shampoo.

When I opened the bottle there wasn't a distinct overpowering smell, however it did remind me a bit of some household cleaning products for some reason.

I found that the shampoo's consistency was well balanced, not too runny, not too thick. When I initially applied it to my hair I could feel straight away the moisture of the shampoo, and it did make it feel smooth as promised on the bottle. I found that the shampoo lathered very quickly and I didn't need alot of it because it lathered so well. *(also means it lasts longer)

The shampoo rinsed out very quickly and I must say that it did do what it says on the bottle.

I did find that the shampoo left my hair looking very glossy and smooth initially, however it did feel a bit heavy and I found that the shampoo made it look a bit greasy rather than shiny after a while. Taking this into consideration I would recommend this product only if you have thick hair, if you have very fine hair and put this shampoo on I would imagine that it looks greasy straight away

The shampoo is certainly value for money but bare in mind that prices do change according to which shop you are buying from.

I also know that this particular shampoo has a wide range, for different hair types, including a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner.

Summary: good value for money
