  Pros

  I first encountered Dr.G through their famous face scrub product, and was quite satisfied with their sunscreen as well, so I have a certain level of trust in Dr.G. In conclusion, this shampoo also performs above the basic level. I generally prefer unscented cosmetics, but I do like shampoos to have a bit of fragrance, and this one hits the spot for me. It has a strong floral scent that evokes a nostalgic feeling, like my mother's old cosmetics, but it's not a common fragrance. It's perfect for creating the effect of long, flowing hair blowing in the wind with the shampoo's scent. The key functions this shampoo emphasizes are scalp care and volume. My hair is sparse, fine, and limp. I definitely need the volume boost. I washed my hair with high expectations. I think the shampoo alone would show better results, but since I have damaged hair that requires a conditioner, I can't speak with full accuracy about the shampoo's standalone performance. However, the results were quite satisfactory. My hair gained strength, elasticity, and a bit of volume overall. My scalp felt clean and refreshed. I used it daily for 2 weeks without any issues - it was smooth and pleasant to use. In summary, the shampoo's claims of volume and scalp care are valid, but its other functions are just so-so and average, so I'm hesitant whether the price is worth it.

  Cons

  1. The thick, viscous formula requires diluting with a bit of water to get good lather. I apply the shampoo to my scalp and then briefly rinse with the shower head, and that allows a huge amount of foam to build up with just a small amount of product. But having to add that extra water step is a minor inconvenience. 2. While I'm concerned about volume, I also have hair loss issues, so I only use anti-hair loss shampoos. This one doesn't seem to help with that at all - in fact, I've been shedding more hair than usual. 3. There's also no noticeable improvement in hair texture. My hair does feel stronger, but it's not any smoother or more manageable.

  Tip

  The shampoo formula is thick and doesn't lather well, so you'll need to mix in a bit of water to get good foam.
