Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Burt's Bees Super Shiny Shampoo Grapefruit and Sugar Beet -- 12 fl oz
Customer Review: No lather does not mean bad shampoo
Summary: 5 Stars
I read on a website about the dangerous chemicals found in quite a few personal hygene products and decided to try a few that were listed with minimal harmful chemicals to no harmul chemicals. On that list was several Burt's Bees products and all the shampoo & conditioners.
I chose this one because out of a limited selection at one of the local stores it was either this or a volumizing (fluff hair for me) version.
I'm glad I read other reviews that spoke about a lack of lather and one review who actually noted the chemical used to make those "rich lather" shampoos because if I hadn't, I might have misunderstood this product.
Yes, there is almost no lather, but you won't miss it for the quality job it does for your hair. The shampoo not only rinses completely away, it takes off a lot of the residue left behind by other products/shampoo/conditioners/environmental stresses. What it leaves behind is a faint scent and squeaky clean hair. I honestly don't remember the last time my hair was this healthy. I've been using this shampoo with a Burt's Bees conditioner solely for about a month now. I'm amazed that the bottle has lasted that long, but you really don't need much despite having long hair. I will keep buying Burt's shampoos and conditioners and I would recommend them not only for the fact that they are ecologically friendly but because they are darn good products.
Customer Review: Surprising amount of lather!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will admit I was a bit hesitant when I bought this shampoo. Sure I along with countless others have fallen for the other Burt's Bees products, but shampoo? I was looking for paraben free products, not to mention Ammonium lauryl sulfate. Anyway I stumbled across this shampoo and while I am not nuts about the smell, it doesn't last long enough to worry about. I'm not saying it's a bad scent, it just doesn't suit me. This is the only downside of this shampoo in my opinion. It has a wonderful lather! I was shocked by the amount of lather actually. My hair is shiny and it FEELS healthy as opposed to just LOOKING healthy. And for the first time in my life I can comb through my hair quickly after a shower. I feel it is important to mention that my hair is almost to my knees and wavy. Being able to comb is like a dream. It takes me a couple of minutes with no snags versus spending a half an hour of tugging and pain. I agree with the previous poster about a little goes a long way. You need less than you think.
To sum it up...try it if you don't want to use shampoo with parabens, and want gorgeous hair!
Customer Review: Nice scent and good lather!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm no cosmetic expert. In fact I have absolutely zero interest in cosmetics (and don't even wear them) so you know I'm not someone who buys beauty products for fun and for the novelty of it. But I live in the desert where the dry air desiccates your skin so I sometimes have to pick up product for skin care. I got attracted to the Burt's Bees products via their cute and creative in-store displays and then ending up trying a wide range of their products.
I like this shampoo. It has a wonderful smell as you put it on your hair: spicy and citrus-y. Men in particular will be relieved to know that the scent is subtle and doesn't last. It lathers up richly and feels gentle on the scalp. It doesn't seem to leave a soap residue on your hair like some shampoos can over a period of weeks. Plus, a little bit goes a long way so that you can make this product last.
Customer Review: Love this stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this shampoo and conditioner most days for two or three weeks now. For the first several days I used it, I hated it--my hair felt lifeless and flat. But after a while my hair started getting used to it apparently, because it's now very soft and shiny, with plenty of body. Also, a lot of shampoos tend to make my scalp itchy, because I have fairly sensitive skin, and I've noticed that it's not itchy at all with this stuff. The shampoo smells slightly like orange, and the conditioner smells kind of chemical, but it does work. I've noticed that you also have to be a little more generous with the amount of shampoo you use versus most shampoos for it to lather well. But I love it!Customer Review: Full Lather, Great Clean, All Natural
Summary: 5 Stars
I started buying Burt's Bees when I overhauled my beauty products to be more natural and to avoid synthetic ingredients. What I love about this shampoo:
1) Free of sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates
2) Paraben AND Pthalate-Free (Note that the US just banned Pthalates in baby products...why not adult products?)
3) Great Lather
4) Hair feels clean, healthy, and not weighed down
The only thing I'm not wild about is the scent - it's not offensive, but just not "Wow!" That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for a product that is healthier for me and for the environment.
