Avalon Organics Revitalizing Lavender Shampoo, 32 oz

Hi all!! I never write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so about this amazing shampoo. This is the second time I have bought this, and I don't think I want to try anything else again.The first time I bought this shampoo, I was searching for something for my thin, long hair that might help it feel fuller and healthier. My first impression was that it was very heavy on the essential oils, and thusly it took awhile for me to get used to the smell as it's pretty strongly herbal. I liked the consistency and lathering, and for me I use a pump and a half to lather up my thin, waist-length hair. I have not had any issues with lather, but I have very hard water so that may help where others have had issues.It took me a long time to get through the first bottle, washing my hair daily, and when that was gone I was ready to try something else. I picked up a different brand from Amazon, and while using the different shampoo, I realized that this shampoo with it's extreme amount of essential oils was keeping my on again off again dandruff at bay!! My dandruff was coming back when I switched, so after using most of the new shampoo I placed an order for my second bottle of this one.When I received the second bottle, it came packed very well, no leaking or anything, and when I pumped some product in the shower I was met by the old familiar heavy essential oil smell that I knew was going to keep my scalp and hair healthy. It was like seeing an old friend again.I can't speak for the biotin making my hair stronger or anything like that, but it cleans well, leaves it shiny and pretty, and is an all around great shampoo. I don't want to use anything else anymore, and I will be trying the matching conditioner once I'm done with my massive sized grocery store brand.I want to speak about those claiming chemical burns. I have NOT had this experience, but as I mentioned before, this shampoo contains heavy amounts of essential oils. If you are sensitive, I'd probably skip this one, but it works for me with no adverse effects. Even though essential oils are natural, that doesn't mean natural botanicals are without side effects.I wish I could give this shampoo more than five stars, it will always be my favorite.

Oh, darlings, I’ve found a little bottle of salvation, and it’s not even gin! This Avalon Organics Scalp Treatment Tea Tree Shampoo—11 fluid ounces of pure, herbaceous bliss—has waltzed into my bathroom like a knight in shining suds, rescuing my scalp from its daily tantrums. I’d grown weary of the itch and the fret, my hair a limp chorus line of despair, when this tea tree marvel took the stage.A dollop of this potion—laced with peppermint and eucalyptus, mind you—turns the morning rinse into a tingling revue, banishing flakes faster than you can say “last call.” It’s organic, naturally, with aloe vera and chamomile playing the soothing chorus girls to tea tree’s star turn, and not a sulfate or paraben in sight to spoil the party. My scalp, once a battlefield of irritation, now purrs like a kitten who’s found the cream, and my hair? Soft as a sigh after a lover’s quarrel, falling in silken waves that could tempt a saint to sin.Eleven ounces stretch further than a weekend bender, and the scent—oh, it’s a crisp whiff of nature’s own wit, not some cloying perfume to choke a debutante. I lather it up, rinse it off, and emerge feeling like I’ve dodged life’s little barbs for once. This isn’t just shampoo—it’s a ceasefire in a bottle, a quiet triumph over the daily grind, and I’m positively smitten with the whole affair.

Smells nice, clean up great , also suitable value of money.

I recently decided to make a change in my hair care due to scalp soreness and itchiness. I was wearing my waist-length hair in a dutch or french braid almost every day 8hrs a day at work and my scalp started feeling super itchy at the back and very tender. I decided to cut it to shoulder-length and just wear my hair down every day at work and change my shampoo for the itch. I mean I would just scratch absent-mindedly to the point where it felt raw. I was also worried about tension alopecia. I've been using this shampoo for about 4 months I think and it's really helped. I leave the shampoo in for several minutes while I attend to the rest of my bathing and then wash it out. The itch is nowhere near as bad as before and my scalp doesn't feel raw. That could partly be due to the change of hairstyle but I do think it's helped a good bit. I've noticed if I just avoid scratching AT ALL the itch stays away, but if I scratch a little, it tends to start an itching frenzy. My scalp is still a bit tender if I pull the hair near the back of my scalp, but I had worn the braid style at work for several years and I think the tenderness is just going to take a while to go away. You will still need conditioner because this shampoo is on little on the drying side. My hair also seems to tangle more easily. I alternate with Renpure Biotin/Collagen shampoo (which makes my hair super easy to brush) once or twice a week. I've noticed that my hair has more "poof" after I use this. Like, it's fluffy almost to the point of being a frizzball. I have very, very fine hair and it can be hard to maintain volume, but this shampoo definitely gives me some. It leaves me with that squeaky-clean feel. I think if your scalp issues are not too severe, this shampoo can be beneficial for you.
