I love the smell of this shampoo.
I've been using it for 3 months now.
First off, IT WILL NOT REGROW YOUR HAIR!
Please understand that. The manuf. also doesn't claim that it does.
This shampoo is a volumizing shampoo which means that it creates the impression and looks of more hair but doesn't actually grow you hair. If you want something that grows hair, there are only 2 products available that is approved by the FDA and that is Rogaine and Propecia. But both of these products have major side effects, takes at least half a year to work and they are not cheap.
This shampoo is cost effective, uses natural ingredients and makes your hair appear fuller. Don't set your expectations too high and you will be impressed. Set it high and you will be dissapointed.
I also recommend Pura d'or Hair Loss Prevention: Premium Organic Shampoo (16 fl. oz.) for hair that shed more than normal. I also use this (although a lot more expensive) to help stop the shedding. It also takes a long time to work but seems to prevent further hair loss in my case and has pretty good reviews. Again, this product doesn't claim to regrow hair so don't expect it to.

Best product for thinning hair., Feb 28 2011

I've suffered from significant hair thinning in the past two years and being a female in my early twenties, I naturally became very self-conscious. I used to lose handfuls of hair after washing with shampoo and conditioner but since my hair tends to get oily very quickly, I had to wash it everyday. After adapting a strict vitamin regime and cutting down stress, the extreme shedding subsided...but for some reason, no matter what high quality strengthening/organic/expensive product I used, my hair was so limp, thin, and grew so slowly that I kept it short, thinking I'll never have long yet healthy looking hair again.
I have read that DHT and sebum buildup are significant contributors to hair shedding and one of the ingredients -- saw palmetto, is a natural dht inhibitor. Oily scalps are also prone to hair loss/thinning so I needed a gentle but effective cleansing and clarifying shampoo. I must say biotin b complex has SAVED my hair. I used to have the longest, thickest head of hair just 2-3 years ago and this shampoo has stopped the thinning/shedding & makes my hair so much thicker that it might just look like it used to in a few months...Only downside I can think of is that I finish the bottle fairly quickly (I have medium hair length) so I'm always reordering these! If you like it, you're better off ordering the three pack. Hope this helps anyone skeptical of the product, i know I was at first but now it's an essential.

I love this stuff, Mar 27 2009

I have very long hair that dries out easily toward the ends even when I use conditioner, but a scalp that tends toward oily, so it's tough to me to find a shampoo that works for both. I picked this up at the grocery store one day on a whim because it didn't contain some common shampoo ingredients that dry hair out badly, and now I'm hooked.
The smell is very nice, and I like that the concentration of the shampoo means I don't have to use a ton of it, but what really won me over is that when I use this, it leaves my hair and my scalp feeling very clean without feeling dried out. I've used all kinds of expensive salon products that did not achieve this, so I think this is a very good value for anyone with similar hair/scalp issues to mine.
