Advantages: Gets your hair clean. It doesn't sting your eyes.

Disadvantages: A bit expensive.

I was given this shampoo as part of a gift set.

It is a 200ml white plastic bottle with the 'Simple' logo on the bottle. The bottle is recyclable so that's a bonus.

They sell for between £2.20 and £2,50 for the 200ml bottle.
I like 'Simple' products. (In fact I wish everything in my life was simple!)

One problem with reviewing this shampoo is that I can't tell you how nice it smells. It don't smell nice, it doesn't really smell of anything! It certainly doesn't smell nasty.

I think for me that part of being convinced that my hair is nice and clean is that it smells good afterwards. It feels a bit odd in the shower not to have this sensory reinforcement.

The clear shampoo is fairly thick and easily dispensed from the flip top bottle. Irritatingly, the bottle top is slightly domed, so when the bottle is nearly empty it will not be possible to stand it upside down to get the last bits out.

It lathers well and you don't need to use too much of it, nor do you need to use it twice. If you are in the habit of washing your hair twice in the shower I don't think this would strip your hair of natural oils. It is very mild. It makes a good rich lather and it doesn't sting your eyes if you are unlucky enough to get some in there.

It is Lanolin free, so no little sheep were denuded and left shivering on a hillside in order to make this!

It left my hair feeling soft and managable. It has a nice shine too.
Because my hair can get greasy easily if I overwash it, I shampoo every other day. This shampoo has been fine for that.

Overall the product does it's job as a shampoo. It isn't wildly exciting but then shampoos aren't usually, are they?

I think it's a bit expensive for what it is. I also think it's a funny old world when we have to pay over the odds for products that are simple and leave things out. You would think that would make it cheaper wouldn't you?

Summary: As reliable as the rest of the Simple range.
