For me, it's an OK product. I LOVE the scent, wich is great, but that's about that. Do not get mistaken, I don't hate it, it's just... nothing special. My hair don't feel overly clean or soft or...

Dried out my hair like no tomorrow. Used both the shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks. So disappointing though. :/

I received this as part of a "gift" set with the matching conditioner, mousse, and moisturizer in a tote. I like the look of the bottle, but it will be difficult to get the last bit of product out...

Hmmm, this is good over all. The shampoo lathers up nicely, and it doesn't give me broom hair. Very strong scent, though. I can't say for sure that I like it, but I think I do. The smell...

Tried a sample of this yesterday and though it smells wonderful, my scalp had a bad reaction and I couldn't stop scratching. I guess it's just too much scent for my scalp/skin. It was a nice,...

I love this shampoo! It smells like fruity candy, and it makes my hair so soft, shiny, and healthy. I let my hair air-dry every day, and normally it gets a bit frizzy and tangly. But after using...

This is a very basic shampoo that won't cause any skin problem. I have very oily scalp but dry hair. This is not clean enough for me, I have to wash my hair every other day. The smell is pleasant.

I love this shampoo and conditioner. I have never smelled anything else by them, but this is wonderful. Vanilla is my favorite scent so maybe that is why. Great great great

This smells real nice! I bought this because the smell was so alluring. It was on sale at a hair salon in the local mall so I wound up buying the small sample sizes of all the other flavors along...

I'm not overly fond of the smell of this stuff either, it's a little too sweet and sugary for my liking. But I LOVE this shampoo. It makes my hair look incredibly shiny and radiant with great body...

I like the Vanilla Plum formula, and it smells great, like Sweettarts or similar. The shampoo leaves my hair subtly-fragranced all day. It doesn't lather as much as I'd like though, but my hair...

I'm not a huge fan of the scent - it's sweet, generic, and a bit artificial - but I don't think my hair has EVER looked this good. It's so soft I can't stop running my hands through it and so shiny...
