The price is pretty damn expensive but the smell, shine and softness of Alterna make it a nice treat or every once in a while purchase.

This one is a keeper! It's one of the few shampoos that agrees with me and my sensitive scalp and does what shampoo is supposed to and more! Strongest point: it has not managed to irritate my scalp...

I'm so surprised by the low ratings here! This is the first sulfate free shampoo I've actually been happy with! It leaves my hair cleansed yet moisturized. Most sulfate free shampoos leave my...

This shampoo actually gave me really nice hair. My hair was soft, supple, bouncy and so, so shiny. It felt like the perfect balance of moisture (not weighed down like All Soft) and not a dried up...

It is a beautiful product. It leaves my hair shiny, healthy, with lots of volume (even though it's not supposed to do that), I love the packaging and the citrus-y smell but I do have one complaint:...

the only one for me...with complimentary conditioner, this duo is great for curly medium thickness hair and moisture is very important (however I do not recommend the volumizing version)

It is a good shampoo with a pleasant synthetic smell and good foaming abilities. However, the price and the packaging will not allow me to repurchase. The Alterna bottles are the most weird.

Just to start, I have very dry, thick hair. This shampoo is a dream! Keeps my hair soft without drying out my scalp. Delicious subtle scent. Unfortunately, it costs $30 for 8 oz... I can buy a...
