Has anyone tried this brand of shampoo/conditioner? I just ran across a sale on them and was wondering if anyone here has had any familiarity with them. Here's a link for one of the shampoos:
(It looks promising)

I've tried their lavender shampoo and conditioner and love the smell! I liked it, but my hair prefers shampoo/conditioner with 'cones. :)

I also tried the lavender one. I liked it a lot it worked well as a nonsls shampoo and that is what I always use. The bottle is small and I ran out of it fast. You can get it at Target.

It's not that bad, but it's not worth the extra money (they're more expensive than "regular" shampoos & conditioners).

I love them! I particularly love the ones with protein, however, I don't use the protein conditioner all of the time because it starts to weigh my hair down. I use it about once a week and it makes my hair so soft and silky! I also love the smell of all of their products! Oh...I forgot to mention I love their jasmine hair shine spray! :)

ETA: Oops! I was referring to Aubrey Organics! Wrong brand, sorry! I have used Avalon Organics clarifying shampoo & conditioner which I like and they work very well.

Yes, I've used Lemon (clarifying), Ylang (shine), and Olive Oil and Grapeseed Oil. I liked them.

My hair does not get on with AO products. I think it is a YMMV situation.

I've used the biotin shampoo before but I never repurchased it. There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't find it to be anything special.

a friend gave me the ylang one and its lovely. it makes my hair really shiny, cleans my scalp and does not weigh down my fine hair or dry out my scalp. my shedding and dandruff has reduced alot since i found this mild sls free shampoo and wash every other day instead of failing at stretching washes. i dont use it every single time though because its so mild my hair would eventually get greasy so ill use something a bit more heavy duty like loreal sls free shampoo or just add an ACV rinse without any conditioner.

The lemon clarifying shampoo is great stuff. It clarifies really well but isn't overly drying. That's the only product I've tried, though.

I have an old bottle of the Rosemary shampoo that I absolutely love. The conditioner has cones, so I don't use it. But the shampoo is fabulous. It cleans better than any other sls-free shampoo I've tried, makes my hair super-shiny, and gives me some extra volume without frizz. It's also helped a lot with shedding.

I do need to use a different (stronger) shampoo once every month or so. I have very oily hair, though.

I have tried it before, but it actually dried my hair a little. A shampoo I found that I absolutely love is from Fundamental Earth... makes my hair so soft, and seems to moisturize.

I tried the lavender and then the rosemary but it had too much protein for my hair and I ended up giving them away

they smelled lovely, though

I used rosemary conditioner, and i love it, it's a bit expensive, but still less than Aubry which doesn't have any effects on my hair.
My hair was shiny, silky and tangle free, i will try shampoo once i run out of shampoo i have. I also love the smell.
For me it was the best conditioner that i could use, i also dilute it a lot (like 2 parts water to one part conditioner).
I'm thinking of buying it again, but i'm using catnip right now.



They don't have cones for at least a year.

I've tried the Rosemary Shampoo and the old version of the Lemon Verbena Clarifying Shampoo before they reformulated their haircare. I've had good luck with both of those. The formulation is really nice and they smell heavenly if you like those scents. I had less luck with their Biotin Shampoo, which left a residue in my hair (but again, this was the old formulation).
