I don’t know if this a new product or a new formula or what, but I decided to do a review on this shampoo because I’ve seen commercials for it on TV, so I figured it must be something new(ish).

I have fine hair and despite having to deal with dryness caused by hair coloring, my hair still needs volume or else it can get flat, that’s why I don’t use shampoos for colored hair because they tend to make it smooth and shiny but the lack of volume is quite obvious.

Packaging:

The shampoo comes in a black plastic bottle and it has that salon feeling to the design although it’s basically a drugstore shampoo. For example, I don’t know if there are small bottles as well because I’ve only seen these big 440 ml bottles in stores.

Texture:

The consistency is typical to any shampoo. It’s white and it’s something between thick and more liquid. I don’t like the scent, I wish they wouldn’t put perfume in it. I mean, I don’t mind perfume in hair care products because I like my hair to smell nice, but if the scent isn’t nice I prefer it without. It’s kind of like a masculine scent, like a men’s perfume which is odd because men don’t usually use shampoos for volume.

Ingredients:

Aqua (Water, Eau) · Sodium Laureth Sulfate · Cocamidopropyl Betaine · PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate · Sodium Chloride · Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract · Glycine · Lysine HCl · Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate · Cocamide MEA · Parfum (Fragrance) · Sodium Benzoate · Citric Acid · Glycol Distearate · Hydrogenated Castor Oil · Laureth-4 · PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate · Polyquaternium-10 · Sodium Hydroxide · Glycerin · Linalool · Hexyl Cinnamal · Limonene · Benzyl Salicylate · Propylene Glycol · Potassium Sorbate · Sorbic Acid · Benzyl Alcohol

The key ingredient in this shampoo is supposed to be the violet rice extract, but I don’t know why except for the fact that it’s “Asian inspired”. It doesn’t contain sillicones and it’s a vegan formula. Also, it’s supposed to contain a blend of amino acids to maintain the hair strong and healthy looking. Also, 90% of the ingredients are natural derived.

Price and accessibility:

Syoss products can be found in most supermarkets and beauty stores even in the town where I live in, not to mention online. This is a very affordable shampoo, as it’s usually sold for about 3 euros.

My overall opinion:

In terms of doing what it promises for the volume, I agree. But for dry or colored hair, it doesn’t provide enough hydration, so I don’t think I will opt for it again in the future. Also, the scent is really a turn off on my part. But, for a drugstore shampoo, for the low price and the huge quantity you get when you buy it, I think it could be something worth trying for people with fine hair because it gives volume.
