Alberto Balsam Shampoo Pomegranate > Reviews (15)

Availability

I recently was shopping in Morrisons and found this range of shampoos and conditioners on offer at 4 bottles for £3, I personally think this is a brilliant offer considering they are not a budget product so got a shampoo and conditioner in two different varieties. You can buy these shampoos in supermarkets, chemists and even in your local discount stores and they are generally about £1 each meaning this offer saves you 25%.

Packaging

The shampoo comes in a frosted style soft plastic bottle containing 400mls of product, you are able to see through the bottle and see the bright orangey red liquid inside. The top of the bottle has a flip top lid in black, I always prefer toiletries to have a flip top lid as I find with screw caps I generally can't open them or drop the bottle. On the front of the bottle there is a close up picture of the insides of a pomegranate which actually looks quite appealing and the information that the shampoo is anti-oxidant, the shampoo contains pomegranate and grapeseed extracts and states that it is deep cleansing.

On the back of the bottle you have the following information "pomegranate the superfruit packed full of oxidants is great for your hair too, the shampoo deeply cleanses and strengthens your hair and leaves it smelling superfruity, it uses most the same ingredients as you'll find in higher priced brands but at a great price which means you can afford to look glamorous everyday"

The shampoo

The shampoo is a lovely orange/red in colour and has a thick consistency, due to the consistency and the fact it lathers well you don't need to use too much of the product each time. The shampoo smells lovely and you can smell it quite strongly when you open the bottle, the smell is sweet yet not sickly and fruity although I cannot say it smells of pomegranate as I can't remember their smell, the smell lingers in the bathroom after use but doesn't linger on my hair for very long.

My opinion

The shampoo smells lovely and has a really sweet smell, the product lathers well and you do not need to use a large amount so the bottle lasts well so it is certainly worth the money I paid. The shampoo is easy to rinse from my hair and my hair feels ok after use but not fantastic, my hair feels a little straw like when I rinse this product out although I use this with the matching conditioner and once I have used both products my hair feels great again. I cannot say that this product has strengthened my hair but it certainly hasn't weakened it either and I do find my hair feels really clean after using this shampoo. I find my hair is easy to manage and left shiny and soft after using the products and so I would recommend this shampoo when you team it with the conditioner but I wouldn't recommend it on it's own.
