Avalon Organics Biotin Shampoo - Therapy B-Complex Thickening Shampoo for an Energized Scalp & Fuller, Thicker-Looking Hair, 14 Fl 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.

What a wondeful product! Seriously. My hair is softer, not brittle and dry anymore. I'm buying a bunch more to give as gifts. LOVE IT!

I have been using this a while and the bottle is half empty. I can feel a difference in my hair. Not a huge difference but definitely a little thicker. I have pin straight, baby fine hair. Lately it is breaking like crazy and feeling super thin. I wanted an organic shampoo and tried this one. It lathers nicely and has a pleasant scent.

Smells great, very concentrated so only a small amount is necessary to make hair squeaky clean. My only problem with it is I think it makes my hair grow too fast so I have to get more haircuts.

Great shampoo gives lots of body and shine. Clean lemony fragrance. I continue to use this brand.

Update after 1month of regular use: I realized that it makes my scalp dry, very flaky, and itchy!! Come to find out, they put sulfates as one of the first ingredients. Ugh. Now I have a huge bottle that I can no longer use. Amazing shampoo, observed after a couple of washes that: - reduce hair fall - does not strip out too much oil. My hair felt softer after washing. - gives good lather, a little goes a long way - reduced tangling issue for my long hair - smells good, not overpowering - reduced frizziness - no more flakiness in my scalp

As I mentioned in the review for the conditioner, I have no idea if the shampoo is helping me grow more hair. I have read articles that say that having inflamed irritated scalp makes you lose your hair. I have a lot of food, sensitivities and odor sensitivities, and my scalp is usually very inflamed and itchy. The shampoo is so nice on my scalp. My scalp feels very calm after I shampoo and it lasts for quite a while. I haven’t used it long enough to know if I will be able to grow more hair. To be clear I’m not visibly balding or anything. A lot of people think I have a lot of hair, but I have a lot less hair than I used to and I am starting to go gray. I’m hoping that the shampoo helps take care of my hair follicles to slow down the grain and maybe I will also get to grow more hair along my hairline and the top of my head. If calming, my scalp will help me grow more hair then this shampoo is definitely gonna do the trick.

Good product
