ProsI recently dyed my hair black and was looking for a color-protecting shampoo when I came across this new Shiseido shampoo. I decided to give it a try!
The formula is a thin, clear liquid that flows easily. You don't need to pump much to get a good lather, which makes shampooing a breeze.
The fragrance is absolutely delightful. It's a floral scent, but not cheap-smelling at all. It's exactly the kind of scent you'd want your hair to have. The aroma is so good that it rivals perfume shampoos - you can smell it as soon as you shake your hair.
I noticed that it doesn't contain any particularly harsh ingredients, which might explain why I didn't experience any irritation while using it.
I'm not sure if it's entirely due to this shampoo, but my hair color hasn't faded much at all. My hair is quite damaged, so usually, the color washes out quickly with each wash. But with this shampoo, it's barely fading, which makes me think it's doing its job well.
What I love most is how my hair seems to have more shine after using this shampoo. Even though I've been using the same treatment, just changing the shampoo has made a noticeable difference. I was surprised to see that even after drying, there's a lasting glow on the top of my head.
Thanks to this shine-enhancing effect, I'd say the hydration level is about medium on a scale of low to high, even after blow-drying.
ConsUnfortunately, it contains quite a bit of fragrance, and those ingredients are often classified as not so great. This seems unavoidable though...
As for cleansing effectiveness, I'd say it's about average. It doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling at all. I definitely wouldn't recommend this for those who are really particular about thorough scalp cleansing when they wash their hair.
TipI recommend purchasing from the official store as they often send samples of other product lines and offer discounts. Also, it's great that you can buy refills once you've finished the original bottle!
