Astragalus Natural Moisturizing Shampoo, 8 Fl Oz, Sulfate Free All Hair Types

As any woman who wants to have a cute short hairstyle, it takes a lot of styling products to achieve certain looks. I purchased this shampoo as I need something gentle for my sensitive skin and hair color, but still able to wash out all of the styling products from my hair, especially the waxes. The Gavean shampoo fits the bill perfectly. I’ve used supposedly Sulfate and Paraben free shampoos that left my hair flat and feeling like straw. I’ve been using Gavean for the last week and my hair feels clean, soft, and looks shiny. It has a nice silky lather, especially after the 2nd-3rd wash. You also don’t need to use a lot. I barely use a dime size on my short hair, so I would only assume that you’d use about a nickle size for longer lengths. I do have to say that while the aroma is similar to licorice root (I don’t think it has any, that’s just what it reminds of), it doesn’t linger and it doesn’t smell artificial like other “all natural” shampoos. I actually feel invigorated after using it. I’m excited to try adding the conditioner to my regiment and if they come out with a body wash I’d try that too.

I was suffering from a dry scalp from all the ingredients in other shampoo. This is the first time in my life that my hair as looked this good and so soft. I will continue to buy this brand and shampoo and conditioner. In just one single use it eliminated my scalp issues and I could even smell the lovely natural of lavender/basil. Love love love this! And I have a lot of hair and its super thick and coarse. It didn't need foam a lot the first time like other chemical loaded products. Definitely recommend.

Pretty thin shampoo. My wife and I aren't huge fans of it, but it does have a very natural scent to it.

As someone who regularly highlights my hair, I was looking for something natural to be gentle on my hair while strengthening it at the same time. I had never heard of Astragalus before coming across this product and was curious about it and thought I would give it a try. It has a scent like black licorice and fresh cut greens. Overall, it helped lift the oil that builds on my scalp (see before and after photos) and left my hair soft. I also purchased the conditioner and used them as a set.

Bottle arrived with the cap fairly scuffed up. I would have expected a more “elegant” presentation. The day after its arrival, I decided to use it. I open the cap, and the shampoo is INCREDIBLY runny. A fair amount spilled on my carpet, I did not expect it to fall like water. Welp.. there goes $5. Lol. I find that only way to avoid this without needing a different container is to ever-so-slightly tilt the bottle in order to get some out as opposed to placing it directly above your hand, standing up straight. You will pour WAY too much before you can close the cap up if you do not do this. I mean, unless you’re The Flash or something, I cannot see how people get it out without waste. Another con would be shampoo also isn’t very foamy, making it harder to distribute throughout the hair. If you have a lot of hair, I’d recommend sectioning it off and then applying a SMALL amount to each section. It will still run away from you if you do not do this quick enough, as it goes straight through the closed fingers. (Seriously) Other than that.. nice shampoo, hair was noticeably softer after one use. Edit : product is $20 cheaper now.

I previously used regular old shampoo full of sulfates and parabens and all the junk on my daughter's fine hair. We'd use a detangler spray and spend ages after trying to brush all the knots out while she frantically tried to run away. By the next morning her hair would be a matted mess again. I am not even sure how I stumbled upon this brand but we tried it with the matching conditioner last night and I forgot to brush her hair. Today her hair looked amazing! It had a little more volume, was shiny, and almost no tangles! I could work them out with just my fingers. AMAZING! The only thing not so great is the smell, but it doesn't linger.

Recently I've been working to use more natural beauty products and was searching for new hair products that would be safe for color-treated hair - that's when I found Gavean Astragalus Shampoo. After doing some research, I learned that Astragalus, also known as Huang Qi, has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and is known for its health benefits, including how it can help restore damaged hair. I decided to give it a try. My hair has been severely dry and damaged (due to coloring, the sun, and the pool) and with this shampoo (and the conditioner) - I've seen so much improvement. It no longer feels like straw! My hair felt shiny and clean! And it smells amazing! It's very natural - and you can smell the lavender and basil that you see listed in the ingredients. Definitely give these products a try if you are looking for something more natural for your hair!

I gave this to my girlfriend and this is what she said: "OMG this shampoo is perfect for my hair! I have been coloring my hair for four years, and this shampoo moisturizes and cleans my hair so well without damaging it or stripping the color. It also smells so good and leaves my hair feeling amazing!
