I used Aveda Black Malva shampoo for the past 2 months. I thought I'd post this since my opinion of it now is a lot different than when I first bought it..

Anyway, when I first started using it, I loved the way it left my hair, really soft, shiny, and it didn't strip the color out of my hair (it damn well better not since its meant for dyed hair and getting rid of brassiness) Then I noticed after 2 weeks it wasn't washing out of my hair very well, meaning I'd stand in the shower for 15 minutes just rinsing my hair and it would still look a bit sudsy. And it felt really grotty, even the next morning after washing it felt disgusting..

I know its not the conditioner I use, I changed conditioners about 2 times in that time. And its not styling products, since I don't use any..Its kind of pathetic to have to clarify your hair constantly.. So for the last month I was using the shampoo with baking soda, didn't want to throw it away :( The last few days I couldn't stand it anymore, the feeling dirty, itchy scalp, so today I bought Aesop Gentle Scalp Cleanser..

On a positive note, my hair was shiny and healthy looking the whole time ;) just didn't feel it. Then again nowhere did the shampoo claim to leave your hair feeling clean :P Now I'll have to find some use for the rest of the bottle. Maybe I'll use it on my cats, since they're white, it could give them a nice lavender color..
