Advantages: Lasts for a long time

Disadvantages: Leaves hair dry and scalp flaky

I came across this shampoo bar on the lush website and started reading the reviews. I'd been looking for something to help with thinning hair and this seemed to be just what I needed. Most of the reviewers were saying it was a fantastic product that slowed down their hair loss, or at the very least was good shampoo, so I rushed out to buy it.

It's quite a small bar, but lasts for a very long time. I have very dry hair that doesn't need washing very often, so for me it seemed to last forever. It contains cinnamon, so it has an unusual smell, but not a bad one. It's easy to use and lathers up quickly and easily.

After washing my hair a few times I noticed that it was even drier than usual, but I continued to use the shampoo in the hope that it would stop my hair loss. I thought dry hair would be better than thinning hair and I wanted to give it a chance.

After using the shampoo for several months I started to get dandruff, which I'd never had before and my scalp felt flaky and itchy. My hair was dry, dull and lifeless and the shampoo had had no effect whatsoever on my hair loss. I stopped using the shampoo immediately and my hair and scalp are much better.

For me, this shampoo was awful, but a lot of people disagree, so it's probably worth a try. I think I'm in the minority disliking it.

Summary: I hate it. Everyone else loves it.
