Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Burt's Bees Super Shiny Shampoo, Grapefruit & Sugar Beet, 12 oz
Customer Review: I really wanted this to work, but it's not great
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product because it is the "safest" and healthiest shampoo (per info on http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/) that I can find in stores at anything near a reasonable price. I also bought the conditioner.
I have tried both products now for several days, and overall I am unpleased. Here are my thoughts:
Pros:
-easy to find compared to other "safe" and healthy shampoos
-priced lower than some competitors
-recyclable (not recycled!) bottle
-excellent, exciting fragrance (this was the best part of the product)
-thick texture, didn't fall off my hands
-shampoo does actually lather compared to other "safe" shampoos
-hair felt clean (too clean?) after shampooing, which is the goal (I haven't noticed a residue yet)
Cons (major cons):
-shampoo is soooo difficult to distribute through the hair, as it does not have a silky texture, so I ended up having to use a larger quantity of shampoo compared to conventional shampoos (NOTE: I have short, chin-length hair, and once I put the shampoo in, I couldn't move it from root to tip, I had to add more)
-shampoo left my hair feeling like straw, so that I couldn't even run my hands through it (again, very short hair)
-the companion conditioner (as a side note) does not seem to repair the straw-like texture which the shampoo imparts, so I think the conditioner is more worthless than the shampoo
-shampoo is considerably more expensive and comes in a smaller size compared to conventional shampoos
I have spent too much money on this shampoo/conditioner set to abandon it, so I will keep using it. Also, I don't have a viable shampoo alternative yet, and I don't want to go back to conventional products (on principle).
One way I have dealt with the poor texture the shampoo provides is to get a better conditioner. The best "natural" brand I have found available I had to buy through the internet (which I try to avoid) is Nature's Gate Lavender and Aloe Organic conditioner, which has a decent rating on the Cosmetics Database (although many other Nature's Gate products are not as well rated - be careful).
This conditioner fixes the problems of the shampoo, so it is livable. I'm thinking about trying Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap as a shampoo instead, as it has done a really great job on my hands after a couple weeks. The search continues...
