Possibly The Worst
-05.14.13
Quick Take: terrible
This is quite possibly the worst shampoo I've ever used. I have naturally thin, oily hair so I need something strengthening but light. This product was all wrong. It doesn't actually get your hair clean. Mine looked and felt awful merely a few hours after washing. Remarkably expensive for something really not that great.

Not worth it
-04.21.13
I liked this stuff, and the smell was pretty good, but it took way too much product to get a good lather to wash my hair. I have hair to my chest, and I had to use way too much to clean it. No matter how great this shampoo may have been, it wasn't worth the money. I probably would have gotten 14 uses out of it before I needed a new bottle. If you have short hair, this may work better for you.

Quick Take: smoothing, good for daily use, smells great, high shine factor
i'm a shampoo addict, and i've tried basically every brand sephora carries. nothing is better for my long, straight black hair than this stuff. it leaves my hair clean but not dry, healthy, and holy-cow-shiny. and it smells pretty fantastic too. i'll switch off every month or so just to shake things up, but bamboo luminous shine is my go-to.

Leaves hair shiny and volumized
-03.27.13
Several time repurchase of this shampoo. I alternate it with a couple others but this is my primary go to shampoo. Leaves my hair feeling thicker and stronger and it's definitely got more shine. I also use the conditioner once or twice weekly as needed.

Great shampoo! I have some trouble getting it to form a thick lather sometimes, but I think that's mostly due to our water. Either way, makes my hair feel nice and clean and has a refreshing scent that isn't too perfumey!

Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing
Lovely shampoo - leaves a nice scent in the hair and cleanses whilst nourishing. Screw top is convenient and mess free, and who could say no to an eco friendly product containing so many great ingredients.

bamboo luminous shine
-03.19.13
This shampoo is fabulous. I have fine hair and this shampoo does not weigh my hair down. It cleans beautifully and gently. The condition of my hair has improved over time. I really notice a new lustre and shine. I highly recommend using this product.

The Best Haircare Products I've Ever Used!
-02.23.13
Quick Take: hydrating, good for daily use, smoothing, the best ever
This is the best Shampoo I've ever used. I've been using this for almost two months now. Before I started using this Shampoo my hair was really bad tangles, damaged, and really hard to brush. ( I've very thick hair ) This has solved all of my problems, and I couldn't be any happier. This Shampoo is worth the money. If your feud up with your hair Alterna is the Brand for you. I use a lot of their other products as well, that work great together. This is my new favorite brand, I will never go back to any other brand, no matter how broke I am I will come up with the money to get this Shampoo, and Conditioner, and other products by Alterna.

Several time repeat buyer!

This is the shampoo that's a staple for me. It keeps my hair shiny and gives it body galore. I do alternate it with the Caviar daily clarifying shampoo every few days, and also use a dab of conditioner once weekly.

I was looking for a new shampoo that didn't make my hair frizzy, I read all the reviews and this one sounded best for the price. I was not disappointed! Works great, smells great, and leaves my hair super clean. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful product
-01.21.13
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use, shiny, healthy look
I used a trial version of the ALTERNA Bamboo Luminous Shine Shampoo, Conditioner, and Styling creme. The results I had after finishing the trial were reason to spend the money on all three products! I have fine, straight hair and these products leave my hair looking shiny and healthy. Since a month of use, I have received many complements on my hair. It was definitely worth the purchase and will continue my use of these products!
