My sister recently came to visit me and this is the shampoo/conditioner she was using and left in my shower. I decided to give it a try to see what I thought of the product. I have to say that I was very impressed with this product. I have not used it long enough to tell you whether it meets it's claim to protect color treated hair from fading but I have to say that this product left my hair feeling silky smooth and looking healthier and shinier after just one use! I am also very picky about smells of shampoos and conditioners but this product is pleasant smelling. This product works very well with my hair and if you ever get the chance to try it out, I would do so! :o)
