Finesse Enhancing Shampoo for Normal Healthy Hair 15 oz Review

Hair care products abound on the shelves of retail stores and it is sometimes difficult to decide which product to buy. Some shampoos make lofty claims and they leave consumers wondering whether or not the shampoo is really capable of performing the way it states. But other shampoos make more reasonable claims and they manage to attract buyer's attention due to their market- oriented packaging. Such is the case with Finesse Enhancing Shampoo, a product for normal hair.

Shampoo Commentary:

Finesse shampoos are products of the Helene Curtis Company and they can be found in most any grocery store, drug store, or other retail outlet where shampoos are sold. The best quality of Finesse Enhancing Shampoo is its scent and this is one of the key reasons I still use this shampoo from time to time. Shampoo scents are often difficult to describe, but this one has a small amount of citrus (one of my favorite scents) along with special fragrance that makes it unique. It is a very clean, very pleasant smell.

As far as a hair cleaning product, Finesse works well enough. Finesse states, on the bottle, that its silk and soy protein formula will improve the cuticle, strengthen each strand of hair, and make hair soft and shiny. I can certainly agree with the softness claim- Finesse Enhancing Shampoo does make hair soft to the touch. But the shininess claim is a little exaggerated. I don't notice anything close to the vibrant shine that Finesse promises. I have short hair so it would take very little of a special, shine enhancing ingredient to make a noticeable difference. If it doesn't work on my hair, then I think it would be safe to say that it won't work on longer hair.

Finesse is priced toward the higher end of the shampoo spectrum and this is one of the reasons I don't purchase it more frequently. Its price might not be so bad if the product was superior, but it isn't. I can think of several brands that cost less and offer better cleaning and superior hair management than Finesse Enhancing Shampoo. When I do purchase Finesse, it is usually because there is a sale or because I have a coupon (or both). This is the only way to reduce the price down to a more reasonable level that is consistent with the product quality.

Bottom Line:

Overall, Finesse Enhancing Shampoo is a middle of the road shampoo in terms of quality. The bottle makes the product seem more sophisticated, stylish, and interesting than it really is. It isn't a bad product, and I can certainly agree that the scent is nice and that it delivers on its promise to make your hair softer. But other than these two qualities, there isn't really anything else special to say about Finesse Enhancing Shampoo. It is an average hair care product that is a little bit overpriced for what you get and a little over- marketed for what it is truly capable of doing.
