Himalaya Herbals Protein Shampoo Daily Gentle Cleansing Shampoo

A habit of mine when it came with hair products is to change them after using a couple of bottles.  This is partly because I want to allow my hair to "rest", if you know what I mean.  So when my organic shampoo was running low, I went scouting.

When I was browsing Watsons a couple of weeks back, I saw that the Himalaya Shampoos were on sale and decided to buy a small one to give it a try.  I got the Himalaya Gentle Cleansing Shampoo as I washes my hair everyday and wanted something that doesn't dry up my hair.

My hair is oily in texture, so typically it tends to be heavy by mid-day and flat as it gets oilier.  Also, because I do color my hair, the bottom part tends to be frizzy and dry.  Also, the bottom part tends to be frizzy.  I realised that if a particular shampoo contains more chemical, my hair will become frizzier.  The combination of heavy and frizzy would tend to weigh me down and makes me feel less comfortable.

I was a little taken aback when I first use this Himalaya Gentle Cleansing Shampoo.  The first pour reveals itself to be a transparent orange tinted liquid.  It truly is the first time I use a shampoo that's not opaque, so I wasn't very sure how it will fair.  Somehow, I had this thought that it won't bubble much because of it.  However, I was proven wrong as it does lather quite well and works to go through every strand of my hair too.

After having use this shampoo for a month, I find that my hair feels lighter and it's not as dry and frizzy as it used to.  Best part is, it is more manageable than previously with the other shampoos.  I like the fact that I don't really have to use hair conditioner to get it to look pliant and soft.  As for oily hair, it seems to be at bay now!  That is a serious plus point for me given how flat my hair would look as the day progresses.  This has done a great job for me.

I pretty much have decided to stick to this shampoo and will probably explore its different ranges to see how they fare.

On the side, I find it interesting to note that there are two levels of ingredients and as such I'm not so sure sure which one has a higher percentage as the natural ingredients and the chemical ingredients are split into two:

Cherry Blossom Shampoo

I bought this out of whim during Sasa sale a while back. They were having a promo, purchase the big bottle (1000ml) and you get a small bottle (400ml) for free at the price of RM16.90.

What really attracted me what the simplicity of the packaging (alright, another sucker point for me here).  I quite like its simple see through bottle and the fonts used on the label of the bottle.  Easy for me to either recycle or reuse it for other purposes.  The pump is quite good, dispensing a decent amount.  Now that I have short hair, I don't use a whole lot and I find the pump to be quite good in terms of controlling the shampoo.  Must be a good spring attached to it eh? =D

The shampoo works decently.  If you need a simple shampoo, I'd say it's a good buy.  It kept my hair nice and well managed pretty much 2/3 of my day.  I'd say that it does its job as a shampoo.  Given that I have oily hair that can turn pretty oily in half a day's time, it works well to keep the oil from weighing my hair down at least 2/3 of the day.  By evening though, I could feel the oiliness and my hair being weighed down.  Still, it doesn't bother me too much because I'm already home by then and I tend to clip everything up by then.

The two bottles lasted me for more than a year!  I'd have to say that it really is a good buy =D

Will I repurchase?  It depends though, because although it is a decent shampoo, it is a normal shampoo.  I'm hoping to find one that could help curb the oiliness a bit longer.
