L'Occitane Volumizing Shampoo Review

Hello everyone,

Few days back, when I posted my Updated Haircare Routine I mentioned I had shifted from my regular and favourite Sunsilk to L'occitane Volumizing Shampoo. There were also few requests for my review on the shampoo. 

I have been using this shampoo along with my sister, and we both have quite similar views on it. 

To begin with I would like to mention that i have long thick hair with an oily scalp and dry ends. 

price- Rs 1390 for 300ml ( i have been using the 75ml for review purpose)

L'occitane volumizing shampoo is free from silicones.  The texture of the shampoo is transparent gel like. It has a nice scent, which i assume is of the 5 essential oils it contains-Artemisia, petit grain, sweet orange, rosemary and palmarosa. The fragrance stays on my hair for quite some time after hair wash.

The shampoo definately does not lather up as easily as other shampoos. If I oil my hair, then i need to apply the shampoo atleast twice to cleanse it thoroughly. After washing, my hair feels light. I have never wanted too much volume in my hair, and this shampoo gives me exactly the amount of volume i need. However i do recommend using a conditioner after using this shampoo as it does not help in taming wavy hair. As far as reduction in hairfall goes, it did not do any miracles for me. I did not notice any marked reduction in my regular amount of hairfall. 

My overall experience with the L'Occitane Volumizing Shampoo was fine. I neither love it too much nor do i hate it. 

Pros-

silicone free

makes hair feel light

contains the benefits of 5 essential oils

gives me the right amount of volume

does not dry my hair

fragrance is long lasting

cons-

pricey

did not help in reducing hairfall

does not lather up well

last words-

In the world of shampoos, there are only a few that i like. I usually have high expectations from hair products and so I do not get impressed that easily. Also, I believe that everybody's hairtype and hair needs are different, what might work for one, might not work for everyone else! Even so, I think this shampoo is a good one and can be given a shot if one needs volume. 

I recommend this to those who need the kind of shampoo which gives them the right amount of volume ( because It does not give any extra 'volume' which makes hair look unmanageable!)
