I went shopping on Saturday. I hadn't really intended to buy anything, I was just passing some time while my boyfriend fitted a kitchen.
I went into Durham, and had a slow wander round. I headed into Superdrug, I never normally go in this shop, I usually buy my toiletries and suchlike from Boots. I was wandering up and down the aisles aimlessly. I was having a look at thing special offers and discount shelves. I'm definately a fan of bargains and anything cheap!
I spotted some brightly coloured bottles on one of the shelves. I especially liked the look of the pink one. It was in a bottle about 15cms tall and 10cms wide. It was a bright pink in colour with a red flip lid. The bottle as a row of what looks like gills and an eye on it. I get the impression that the shampoo bottle is supposed to look like a fish. On the front of the bottle it has the products name written in white text "So Strawberry Shampoo" It also has L'Oreal Kids written above that.
The L’Oreal Kids range is supposed to be a gentler formula and more appropriate for kids than other shampoos.
What can I say about the smell of this product? It's AMAZING! It's absolutely gorgeous. It smells extremely sweet and sweet like. It actually smells identically like strawberry milkshake. It reminded me of a drink I had while I was out a few weeks ago. Strawberry milkshake with Vodka in it. It was lovely, and very drinkable!!
I bought this shampoo for £1.47. The normal price for it was £2.49, so yet again, I got a bargain! You get quite a bit for your money too. I was pleased with my purchase.
I used this shampoo for the first time yesterday. The colour of the actual shampoo is a light perlised pink colour, and it looks quite thick.
I wet my hair and applied that shampoo, it lathered up well and the smell was lovely. I didn't have to use a lot to make a nice thick lather.
After I had rinsed my hair I noticed it felt clean and tangle free.
I dried my hair with a hairdryer and noticed the results straight away. My hair felt soft and silky and quite smooth. It also smelt absolutely gorgeous. I love all shampoos that make my hair smell nice.
This range of shampoo is very much like the range in the Avon catalogue.
Although it says of the bottle
"No Tears, No Knots Bye-bye split ends"
I didn't find out if it hurt your eyes, as I didn't let it run into them. I can't say whether this statement is true. It definitely got rid of the knots that I usually get in my hair after washing it though. My hair felt really nice and in good condition after I had dried it. The shampoo is two in one so it contains conditioner, so that's probably why it felt so nice. It also says on the bottle that it gets rid of split ends, well probably would on a child’s hair -but not mine!!

**Watch out if you are buying this for children, the smell could be very tempting to drink, don't leave it unsupervised**
I think this shampoo is great and I would definately buy the other flavours in the range - especially if they were on special offer!!
We've all been conned into buying this for some reason - The showers after my son's swimming lesson are awash with the stuff! Wonder what's pursuaded us all to try it?!

Why didn't anyone think of this when I was a kid? Nice review.

I've felt tempted to buy this but was put off by it being targetted at kids... think I'll risk buying it if I see it on offer again now :)
