I have been considering switching to sulfate free shampoo for a few months now and finally did it with great results.
I purchased the natures gate moisturizing aloe conditioner and it proved to be a great addition to my hair care regimen.
The Good: it left my hair
soft and clean, with absolutely no tangles. I was worried, however,
after the first wash because my hair felt like it was conditioned and
not shampooed. A second wash verified that the product is very different
from traditional shampoos which strip hair of all oils and moisture.
There was little to no build up on my strands or scalp and subsequent
conditioners (Aphogee 2-min reconstructor) and Silk Elements Olive Oil
Con went on smoothly leaving me with great feeling hair. (I left my hair
to dry for a long time before blow-drying and flat-ironing. My hair was
bouncy and thick!)
The Bad: It's not that bad
really save for the fact that because I am not used to shampoos that do
not lather up excessively, I believe that I may use far more shampoo
than is necessary. So, I will have to be cautious of that when using
this product.
That being said, I am going
to use the shampoo again and if it works again, I plan to buy 1-2 more
bottles as they are currently on sale at Safeway for $6.49 until
sometime in July. As long as they do not expire in the next 12 months, I
might even buy 3 bottles, heck!
