klorane frequent use extra gentle protection oat shampoo

I had seen Klorane products advertised in magazines for years (especially for the oat shampoo and the dry shampoo) but had not gotten around to giving them a try since they were a little on the pricy side.  A couple months ago, I was at Shoppers Drug Mart and saw a bonus-sized bottle of this shampoo for a great price and immediately snapped one up.

The extra-gentle shampoo is paraben-free and is intended for those who wash hair often (i.e., daily) and/or those with fragile hair.  It contains oat milk, which is supposed to soften and protect both the scalp and hair shaft.  Given that I have had positive results with other skincare/beauty products containing oats (especially Aveeno products, which worked miracles on eczema that I had as a child), I had pretty high hopes for this product.

And boy, did the shampoo deliver.  I've been using this product pretty much daily for a few weeks (alternating once in awhile with a couple other shampoos currently in the rotation) and am loving it.  The shampoo is white and milky in texture.  A quarter-sized dollop is typically what I use for my shoulder-length hair.  The scent is not overpowering and reminds me a bit of Dove or Ivory soap - just a nice, clean, scent.  The shampoo rinses clean out of my hair without leaving it feeling sticky or weighed down (even without blow drying or heat styling!).  My hair feels soft and clean, but not dry afterward.

Verdict: it's rare to find a shampoo I love, but this one pretty much fits the bill.  If I notice any changes over the next couple months (due to pregnancy/baby hormones), I will provide an update, but this product is definitely a keeper!  ~200mL bottle, C$12
