Did a whole lot of nothing for my hair. I have long, fine highlighted hair that I baby. This seemed competent initially but turned out to be quite mediocre. Pretty much my Alterna experience across...

This shampoo made my hair feel like straw and didn't do much for volume either. Luckily I only bought the sample sizes of this and the conditioner. I also do not like the way it smells at all. ...

I really do like this shampoo but it's a love/hate relationship. I say this because this shampoo does not give my hair much "oomph", although it doesnt make it look bad, either. It does clean...
