Hi there, I am back with another review. Its my current favourite shampoo. Did I tell you about my dry hair? My hair are medium length and wavy. As we go down the hair strands, the dryness increases, because my scalp is not able to send the required moisture till the entire length. So I am always on a lookout for moisturising shampoos/masks.
I have used olive masks/ shampoos in past and the results were very impressive. During her summer vacations, last May, when my sister was coming back from Canada, I asked her to pick some Olive shampoo/ hair mask. She got me this cylindrical bottle of olive coloured shampoo. I was neutral but hopeful.

Ingredients:
Texture, Color & Smell:
It is clear runny shampoo with pleasant and mild fragrance. It smells very fresh.
My Experience:
I alternate this shampoo with the Organix Keratin combo. Since shampoos are supposed to be used diluted, I take out little shampoo on my palm and add few drops of water to it. Rub the palms together trying to lather it and then apply the solution only on my scalp. Massage the shampoo thoroughly on my scalp and run fingers through hair trying to take down the lather till the ends. After 2-3 minutes I rinse my hair with plain water.
Sometimes I skip conditioning after using this shampoo just to observe the results, and trust me when I say this, my hair still feel nourished & manageable. But, as I am supposed to, I use a conditioner/ mask (mostly Matrix Biolage Ultra Hydrating Mask) mostly afterwords to lock the moisture in.
The moisture stays in until next wash, which is something extra ordinary. It’s continuous usage has improved the quality of my hair. My hair are less frizzy since they are well moisturised.
This shampoo is moisturizing but it suited my sister’s oily hair. It concludes that this shampoo is suitable for all type of hair.
I wish it was available in India because its such an amazing product. I also will try to get some masks/conditioners from this range.
