Same Product, Different Scent - Head & Shoulders - Sanfte Pflege (Gentle Care) - Anti-Dandruff Shampoo



This is a anti-dandruff shampoo which, like all of the Head & Shoulders line, works reliably to prevent dandruff.
The only thing that is disappointing is the lavender scent it is meant to have is so faint, you may not even recognise it as lavender scented.
Otherwise, it works great.

Alterra - Naturkosmetik - Repair-Shampoo - Bio-Kakao & Bio-Baobab



I couldn't pass up an opportunity to try a shampoo with chocolate (cacao) in it!
It has organic cacao, baobab, and jojoba in it.

You can smell the cacao (a cacao butter scent), which is awesome!
It lathers and cleans really well.
Price: 4/5 ($3.23 for 200mL)

Alterra Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetic) - Anti-Fett (Anti-Fat) Shampoo



This shampoo isn't body shaming, it means it will get rid of grease. It's for hair that gets greasy quickly.

It has activated charcoal, organic lemongrass and organic chamomile.

It is a 'natural' shampoo, vegan, and with no silicon.

It is black when it comes out of the bottle, which is cool.

The scent reminds me of fruit tingles, a fizzy hard lolly.


It lathers well, cleans well, and leaves my hair really nice.
It takes longer for my hair to become greasy again when I use this compared to other shampoo.


Price: 4/5 ($3.11 for 200mL)

This is an easy favourite for me!

Head & Shoulders - Instant Oil Control - Shampoo



I purchased this because it had limes on the front and it does not smell like limes, so I am sad.



But I did also needed an anti-dandruff shampoo, so I guess it was ok.

I cannot report on much in the way of 'oil control'. 
My hair is just as oily as it was prior.
I don't think it is an 'oil control' shampoo.

Just as an anti-dandruff shampoo, it works well.
Lathers well, cleans well, and less dandruff.

The scent is like a  *****.
If you sniff it a lot and use your imagination, you might be able to convince yourself there is a citrus note.

Price: 2/5 ($5.88 for 260mL)
Scent: 0/5 (Why must you deceive me?!)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Lavera - Heimat Momente - Ringelblumen (English Marigold) Shampoo




This is a organic, vegan, silicon-free shampoo.


The scent in the bottle is true to marigolds and perhaps a touch of citrus. It smells so nice!

It cleans well and leaves no residue. It doesn't lather that well, but it does the job.

Price: 3.5/5 ($6.00 for 200mL)

Head & Shoulders - Citrus Fresh - Anti-Dandruff Shampoo


This is like other Head & Shoulders shampoos but it has an awesome citrus note added.
It is an added note, you can still smell the baseline normal H&S shampoo scent.

It cleans well, lathers well, and is silver jewellery safe.
I have had minimal dandruff while using this.

Cien - Tag für Tag Shampoo - Frucht & Vitamin



This is a daily shampoo that I purchased from Lidl.

It is a nice peach scent and I really wanted it to work.

But it gave me the worst dandruff! I was getting skin everywhere and it seemed like it was endless. Even the tops of my ears started peeling! 



I can't use this anymore, which sucks greatly (because I have a lot left).

Aldi - Protane Naturals - 6 Precious Oils - Shampoo


In previous Aldi shampoo adventures, I found the bottle too hard for squeezing out the product.
This product 'solves' this problem by making the shampoo as viscous as water, so you don't have to squeeze the bottle.
This is a stupid solution.
You will loose product because of this.

It smells like generic man shower product :(
I am not a generic man!

It cleans well and lathers well, but it did leave my hair 'crunchy'.

Overall

Pure Beach - St. Tropez Shampoo - with Coconut & Passionfruit


This is a hotel sample from a recent adventure.

It doesn't really smell of coconut or passionfruit, and it doesn't contain any extracts of either.
It's just a generic shampoo smell.

And it's great for cleaning up blood!

It does, however clean well, lather well, and doesn't leave a residue.

Price: 5/5 ($0.38 for 25mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (generic shampoo scent)

OGX Weightless Hydration Coconut Water Shampoo


This smells alright, I'm not a huge fan of fake coconut, but this is pretty close to a 'real' coconut scent.

It lathers well, cleans well, and leaves no residue.

Do I think it could rehydrate hair or the coconut water in it has magical properties? 
NO!

You can use coconut water for sterile IV solution in a pinch, but that is the extent of it's abilities.
(It also tastes bad).

Price: 1.5/5 ($17.99 for 385mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 4/5 (Mark lost for unsupportable claim)

Kris n Rad - Conditioning Shampoo - Coconut

It smells like a mix of coconut and baby shampoo.

It doesn't take much to clean your hair, lathers and cleans well.

If you find this in your hotel room, you're in luck!

Lavera - Heimat Momente - Apfel Shampoo


This is a organic, vegan, silicon-free shampoo.

The scent is like a blend of fake and real apple, and is very subtle.

You need to use quite a bit to get a good lather, but it cleans well.
This isn't one of my favourites, but it works in a pinch.

John Frieda - Frizz Ease - Wunder Reparatur- Shampoo


This is from the April Glossybox!

It lathers well, cleans well, and has a faint apple scent.

It doesn't leave your hair 'frizzy', but it doesn't leave the hair any smoother than any other decent shampoo.

It is a good shampoo, but you can get the same level of 'frizz-control' from cheaper products.

Garnier - Fructis Fortifying Shampoo - Oily Roots Dry Ends




It has a picture of citrus fruit on the front but smells like FAKE APPLES! Why?! Why you do these things?!


Did it leave my scalp clean and the ends of my hair hydrated? Heck no!

You can't do that shampoo, nobody can! 



As a basic shampoo, there is cheaper things that work better. So not worth it.

Purple Prairie Botanicals - Shampoo Bar - Cedarwood & Tea Tree



This was a free sample! :D

I had never used solid shampoo before!
It smells really nice, the cedarwood is the main scent (which I freaking love!).

It leaves your hair SUPER clean, squeaky clean!
If you want your hair CLEAN clean, try this!

The only downside was my scalp didn't like being THAT clean, I had bad dandruff afterward.
In retrospect my scalp may have liked a conditioner afterward.

Also, a little goes a long way.

Soap & Glory - Glad Hair Day - Ultra Shine Daily Shampoo

This smells, like fake apple... why do so many shampoos smell like fake apple?!

Scent aside, this product is quite nice.
A little goes a long way, it cleans and lathers well.
It didn't leave my hair 'ultra shiny'.

It is a basic, but good shampoo.

However, I now have a bit of attachment to this product because I used it on a holiday in 2015, a sexy holiday involving masking tape.


Use this for sexy holidays ;)

If you find this in your hotel room, know that it is dependable.
