Advantages: This really works!

Disadvantages: None that I have found.

Naturally I have very light brown hair and then I have blonde highlights added. I tend to try and go blonder for the summer as it just makes me look and feel better - less peaky and pale. I initially picked this shampoo up as it was on offer in the supermarket and I am a bit of a bargain whore.

The Lively blonde Shampoo from Sunsilk is targeted at all types of blonde hair whether it is natural, high-lighted or colour treated. The back of the bottle informs you that it contains chamomile extract which has lightening properties. This is supposed to reveal blonde tones and remove dull residues. It is also supposed to do all this without stripping or adding to the current colour of your hair.

This normally costs £1.95 for a 200ml bottle - however I have often seen this on offer as a 3 for 2 special.


Application

This is suitable for daily use and you just apply in the regular way that you would shampoo. It comes in a bright, yellow squeezy tube. The design of the bottle is quite useful actually - as you can squeeze out just the amount that you want and it will also stand up on its lid in the bathroom. This means that when you near the bottom of the shampoo you can get to the last bits as it is constantly dripping downwards.

On application, I found that it gives a good amount of lather - not too little so that you are really scrubbing at your hair to create soapy bubbles and not too much that you can't actually see for soap suds and bubbles. Immediately after rinsing my hair I noticed that it was very tangle free. This was before I had even added any conditioner. Normally after using some shampoos my hair is quite knotty and tangled and I end up using quite a lot of conditioner - however this wasn't the case with this at all.

The shampoo also has a very pleasant chamomile smell to it - which lingers on your hair for a few hours after washing.

All in all, the actual hair washing experience was quite pleasant!


Results

Since regularly using this shampoo I have noticed that my hair is in a much better condition. Previously it was quite dry from constant highlighting and straightening - but the overall condition seems to have improved.

Even though my hair is only shoulder length it is very, very thick and gets tangled quite easily throughout a normal day. However I have noticed that it seems sleeker, looks tidier and can go a lot longer without having to be brushed.

It did take me a couple of days to notice any change in actual hair colour. I didn't notice myself at first - but a couple of people asked me if I 'd coloured my hair again - so it must have been working very well!

I think this is a great shampoo for me - it leaves my colour looking a lot lighter, my hair is less tangled and dull and it looks really shiny.

Also at such a reasonable price this is a great shampoo for natural and bottle blondes alike!

Summary: Brightens your natural colour for a great price!
