Product Review:

Quality products without a bunch of harsh ingredients do not have to cost an arm and a leg.  I found this out on a recent visit to my local Whole Foods Market. I went to Whole foods specifically to try and find products that did not contain a long list of “bad for you” ingredients.  I did not have much money to spend so I was pleased and surprised to find the 365 product line.  I was able to buy the shampoo (16 oz bottle) for $2.99.  The conditioner was only $4.99 for a 32 oz bottle. This is more than comparable to department store brands of shampoo and conditioner (i.e. Suave, TREsemme, etc.) The first thing that caught my eye was the fact that neither the shampoo or conditioner contains any parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, artificial fragrance and no animal ingredient s (says so right on the label).  On top of that, these products were made with no animal testing.

While not the absolute best shampoo & conditioner that I have bought, I am getting pretty good results from these products.  The shampoo cleans my hair well without stripping it.  The conditioner leave my hair nice and soft.  Both have a very pleasant scent without being too over-whelming.  Overall, for the price, you just can’t beat these products.  I would definitely buy this shampoo & conditioner again!

If you are looking for a product without a bunch of harsh ingredients, but do not want to pay a lot, this product is great.  If I had paid more for this product, it may have been a disappointment, but for the price it is a good conditioner.  I did not notice a big difference with my hair after using it, but it sure beats some of the cheap department store conditioners with the long list of unfamiliar ingredients!

Product Review:

This shampoo cleans my hair really well (almost too well). My hair feels striped of all moisture after using this shampoo.  I think I will save this for times when I have a lot of product buildup! This shampoo is for normal hair. I may have to switch to a Carol’s Daughter shampoo for dry hair.
