When I used this product I felt like I was rubbing lotion into my hair. Is it supposed to lather up like regular shampoo?

No, it doesn't lather, and it is kind of like a lotion in consistency. But keep scrubbing your scalp and work it all through your hair, to the ends also. I don't have the bottle in front of me right now but I believe you leave it in a few minutes and it conditions that way as well.

Don't expect lather. Add a bit of water and it will feel more like the shampoos you are accustomed to using. I like this product much more than WEN, which also does not lather. I also find that I use fewer products with Hair One than with WEN

No. It's conditioner that cleanses, so there isn't any lather. I rub some through the ends of my hair as a leave in conditioner too! Massage it in well, and rinse!
870059
No, it doesn't at first but if you add a lot of water after you coat your hair you will get a low lather.

No, this shampoo won't lather like regular shampoo. It is similar to the "wen" shampoo, thought much cheaper. It is a basic 3:1 mix of conditioner and shampoo. The first time I used it I thought the same thing. You don't need much of the product to wash your hair. I have shoulder length hair and use 1-1.5 pumps for my entire head. What I do like is having no more tangles when I go to comb through my wet hair.

after you apply the shampoo, wet your hair down again and the shampoo will lather. It will not lather as much as other shampoos, but it also does not dry your hair out.

Weird, I don't have that problem! Mine is shiny, but not at all greasy. How long have you been using it? I've heard that it can take a couple of weeks to your hair to adjust to not getting shampooed, and that could possibly be why it's feeling greasy. Your scalp might not realize yet that it doesn't have to make so much oil to replace the moisture that's usually stripped away by harsher shampoos.

No need for shampoo, it's a cleansing conditioner similar to Wen, formulated without sulfates and detergents so there is no suds/foaming like shampoo. It is nice, and a lot cheaper than Wen, but I found that it builds up on my hair, making it look dirty/greasy so I ended up only using it once in awhile. Personally I won't repurchase.

It's low sudsing but enough to make you feel that it's working. I have used some shampoos that have absolutely no suds and you can't tell if you've rubbed it in enough so you end up using more product.

Yes it is normal, it is very concentrated. You should love this as your first shampoo for cleansing.

Yes, it is. I had a 6 month Keratin about 2 months ago and after using these two products for 4 days it feels like I just got a Keratin.I'm not sure if it's the shampoo or the conditioner but my hair feels so smooth and soft.

I use the Pura d'or conditioner with this shampoo. My hair feels like straw otherwise. I like this shampoo but I seem to have to use quite a bit to get any lather.

No. When you wash your hair it does not lather up like traditional shampoo. But it does clean well.

My stylist instructed me to use the product primarily at the roots of my hair, which gives my hair volume & lift, without feeling "tacky". I don't have long hair, but was instructed to pump 6 or 7 times into my hand and massage it mostly into the roots. Of course the rest of my hair gets a "small dose" but it's not where the focus of the application is. The smaller amount the rest of my hair receives keeps it from being "fly away" after styling, without feeling tacky. Of course, I use it on wet hair, before blow drying. If I don't use the product, my fine hair lies limp and flat, with zero lift and style. I've used the product for more than 3 years and and love it.

My hair was colored about one week ago. Every time I shampoo my hair feels very pasty, and greasy. Is that normal?

It wasn't until I removed "existing" buildup, that my hair finally felt clean after using this shampoo. Next time you wash your hair, add a little baking soda to your hair, this will remove existing build-up. Or use a clarifying shampoo, and moving forward you hair will feel soft and clean when using this product. Only exception; if you use a lot of hairsprays and/or mousse...your hair may never feel squeaky clean. I don't use that stuff in my hair because I break out from it, therefore the shampoo bar works great because I'm washing hair that is already pretty clean, leaving behind only my natural oils. No conditioner needed. It wasn't until I removed "existing" buildup, that my hair finally felt clean after using this shampoo.

Idk, I haven't heard that?? But I got a keratin treatment and ordered the shampoo and conditioner and I feel my hair isn't as silky smooth as it should be?? May be bc I need a trim...idk??

Mine certainly wasn't! I even compared it to the same from Beauty Brands. It's so darn concentrated I use half of what I use of my redken shampoo and conditioner.

I purchased this product for my girlfriend about 3-4 weeks ago and she has been using it ever since. We are by no means experts on this product, but she did mention that after she uses the shampoo bar, she uses her normal conditioner and we are not seeing the greasiness that you are describing. She also said that every once in a while (maybe once a week) she uses her old shampoo instead of the bar. Hope this helps.

To be honest I ordered quite awhile ago and no longer use that shampoo so I don't remember what it smells like. But from what I remember it isn't very perfumy or metholgy. Just kind of like a regular shampoo/conditioner smell?

The shampoo does smell good, but I agree with another response of the weighted-down feeling to the hair (along with use of accompanying conditioner). I guess I didn't need the keratin. I put it in my guest bathroom waiting to see if my sister would like to have it.
