Hi everyone!
In spring and summer I need more than just clean hair. I want to feel it energized and refreshed, that’s why I like using products with peppermint when it’s warm outside.
I've known about Avalon Organics for a long time. I was excited only about one product, the others either didn’t impress me or I didn’t like them at all, but I decided to give the brand one more chance and purchased Avalon Organics Strengthening Peppermint Shampoo at iHerb.com.
Volume: 325 ml
Manufacturer: Avalon Organics.

Part 2. Packaging and content.

It has a black convenient press cap, which opens and closes without fuss.
Color/Texture.
The shampoo is neither thick nor watery, it’s more like liquid and very good to use. The texture is transparent with a hint of yellow.

It smells intensely like peppermint. It’s such a nice and not off-putting scent!

Part 3. My experience
About me:
I’m 35 years old and have thick dyed hair of medium length. It’s greasy at the roots, so I have to wash it every day. Besides, I always try to repair my split ends.
1. The shampoo is very easy and convenient to use. I won't say that it’s a little goes a long way in comparison to most of the common shampoos, but it is as opposed to other natural hair care products.
2. It lathers into a rich foam really well and rinses my hair thoroughly.
My experience with Avalon Organics Strengthening Peppermint Shampoo:
➀ I liked this shampoo more than Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon, but it couldn’t beat Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Therapy Thickening.
➁ The shampoo is worth well a try! It has no supernatural properties, though. It lathers well and rinses my hair properly. Moreover, the scent is amazing! All in all, the product is good for everyday use. I can smell peppermint all over my bathroom and the fragrance braces me well. However, it's not so odorous on my hair, but I guess, it’s because I use a conditioner of another brand.
➂ Lucky me, I don’t suffer from dandruff, but my husband does! So sometimes I ask him to wash his hair with my shampoo to check if it causes this “snow on hair”. This time I didn’t even have to ask him for it, as he started using it himself, having seen the word "peppermint" on the bottle. To cut a long story short, he loved it and no dandruff appeared!
Conclusion:
I’m glad I bought this shampoo, and I'm about to repurchase it. I highly recommend the product!
