Review- Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo

I ran out of my Shea Moisture shampoo (review here) and decided to purchase a Giovanni shampoo seeing as I love the leave-in conditioner so much (review here). It only cost me just over £5 to purchase it from Amazon including delivery. However I checked there now and that offer is not available? I received the shampoo and then realised it is not 100% natural- oops! The next shampoo I buy I definitely want it to be 100% natural. I really want more Shea Moisture products- but £15 for one shampoo ain't nobody got money for that. On to the review...

Thoughts:
I have used this shampoo a few times. It states that this shampoo is more moisturising then clarifying however the first time I washed my hair it had that squeaky clean feeling you have after clarifying.

This is strange considering the shampoo is sulfate free. Again, I have noticed this shampoo dries out the back section of my hair. However upon rinsing my hair it did feel clean, nicely moisturised (definitely not as moisturising as Shea Moisture!). I think this shampoo with the Giovanni leave-in works very well together. I definitely do not like the smell of this shampoo it smells like strong orange zest. For £5 I definitely cannot complain about the product overall- it does the job of a shampoo which is to clean the hair. It is just a bit strange to have the feeling of squeaky clean and nicely moisturised, rather than the very moisturised, clean and soft feeling Shea Moisture gave me. I definitely wish the ingredients were better but then again if it was all-natural the price would be double at least. I give this 3.5/5.
