These are the more affordable of the 4 I mentioned, the creme of nature the cheaper of the 2. I also STRONGLY recommend the creme of nature for home use.

Shampoo reviews
here’s the follow up to my last blog with reviews of the shampoos i mentioned…this is the Nexxus Botanoil Botanical Treatment Shampoo
If you have abused your hair with everything possible this shampoo is pricey but well worth it. It smells citrusy and delivers if you have tinted, bleached, permed / relaxed hair…
Botanoil Botanical Treatment Shampoo is specifically formulated with time released Antioxidant Vitamins, replenishing Nutrients and Ultraviolet Protectors to help coloured and chemically treated hair maintain its vibrant colour and beauty. It also improves hair’s softness and elasticity by replacing Botanical Lipids lost during chemical services. These natural oils are necessary for the hair to remain pliable with a lustrous shine. Elastins and the hair’s own Amino Acids, Cysteine and Cystine, restore strength and suppleness to chemically damaged hair. I repeat if your hair is abused Botanoil produces dramatic results on coloured, bleached, permed and relaxed hair. …
NOPE, not all shampoos are created equal
I’m almost sure if i peek into many female’s bathroom shelf I would find varying numbers of shampoos & conditioners….not to mention a girl with relaxed hair because everytime a stylist or a friend tells her that something works she goes out & buy it…..even I am a bit guilty, but then its my job to test products out! Well this is much is true a $200 shampoo is not the same as an $800 shampoo & i’m going to go on & explain why. Not all shampoos are created equal so dont for a second feel that shampoos are only to remove dirt.
Technically speaking, your cheap shampoo is cleaning your hair just as well as her more expensive shampoo. However, it’s the secondary impact of shampoo (the things that shampoo does beyond removing dirt and grime) where the difference lies. The quality of the shampoo you use–more specifically, the ingredients in the shampoo—have a significant impact on the look, feel and health of your hair
The difference between a high-quality shampoo and a low-quality shampoo is the chemical used as the surfactant, i.e., the cheaper the shampoo, the worse the surfactant.
1. A reasonably priced shampoo line that does not foam too much is the Cream of Nature shampoo line. I STRONGLY recommend this to my clients for home care. Some of them also have great moisturizing benefits hence do not leave the hair dry in spite of the sulphates.
2. Paul Mitchell is a tad pricey but an excellent line for damaged/chemically-treated hair as it very hydrating
3. MIZANI Botanifying is my personal fave, this is a salon brand so instructions should be followed as in match it with the Fulfyl Conditioner. This too is a higher end product.
4. Nexxus Therapee is an intense hydration shampoo that is also great for naturally fine hair. This too is moderately priced
I could go on for days but those are my top 4 SO……..
…….next time you’re shopping shampoo, spend more time than usual reading the label. Get crazy and buy two higher-quality bottles. The extra time and pennies you spend on a shampoo with a high quality surfactant will be worthwhile thanks to the impact you, and the ladies & men, will notice in the look, feel, and health of your hair.
One love,
