My Opinion:

 

I'm trying to switch all my shampoo to sulfate free, but as I've mentioned before it's kind of hard for me to locate it here in Macau, and so far I've only liked  Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo.

 

Since I always need 3 shampoos on my bathroom shelf to rotate, one for deep cleansing, one for moisturizing and one for my normal hair days, I've picked this up. I was hoping that this would replace my moisturizing shampoo, but after using it, my hair was all tangly and it didn't felt moisturized.

My Opinion:

Since I had my first Brazilian Blowout about a year ago, I've changed most of my hair care products, and this was one of the new items that I've introduced to my hair regime.

I wouldn't call this a conditioner, I would consider this more of a hair treatment, because it's really rich and it leaves my hair super smooth and sleek.

I only use this once every 3 days and this tube has lasted me nearly 7 months, I've recently finish my tube but I don't think I'll be repurchasing mainly because of the scent, it smells exactly like coconut (a scent that I do not like), and the scent lingers for hours.

My Opinion:

I've started to use sulfate free shampoo about a year ago when I had my first Brasilian Blowout, I was told that I was suppose to use a sulfate free shampoo for the blowout to last longer, but it was really hard for me locate it here in Macau, because most of the sales lady did not know what sulfate was...

Anyway, I've started to look at the ingredients list of shampoos and finally found Giovanni. I initially didn't like this shampoo, actually I didn't like sulfate free shampoo at all, because I prefer a foamy shampoo and most sulfate free shampoos doesn't lather well.

I've been using sulfate free shampoo for nearly a year now, and it has actually grown on me, the first thing that I've learn was to wash my hair twice, the first time it won't lather well, but for the second time when most of the dirt has been removed it will be really foamy.

Although I no longer have Brasilian blowout, I'm still using this shampoo, especially during the summer, because it leaves my hair and scalp really clean and fresh, and since it has pepperming in it, the cooling effect feels really good in the hot summer days.
