Redken Smooth Down Shampoo 10.1 oz Review

While traveling I had my hair cut. I never let hairdressers talk me into buying products but somehow I got talked into Redken Smooth Down Shampoo. I guess because it was buy one get one free.

 I know Redken Smooth Down Shampoo has rave reviews but I don't agree with any of them or any of the claims.

 For $12.99 for a 10.1 fluid ounce bottle I want major results. Let's look at the claims:

Redken Smooth Down Shampoo gently cleanses

 know that lather doesn't equal gentle or anything else but if there is no lather unless I use a lot. If I do then I get a nice lather that doesn't smell all that great, I don't feel as if Redken Smooth Down Shampoo is cleaning my hair. In fact my hair doesn't feel clean after using this product.

Helps tame very dry/unruly hair

My hair is dry and unruly and Redken Smooth Down doesn't do a thing. My hair doesn't feel moisturised. It isn't smooth and it isn't curly. I like my hair curly but it is too long to be curly so smooth would be nice. Hair is ultra-smooth, manageable and shiny My hair is none of these and it certainly isn't shiny.

 Is there anything good about Redken Smooth Down Shampoo?

It lasts a long time. It is a thick gel which is safe for color treated hair and I have found that to be true.

Jo's Viewpoint

I would give this an average rating if it weren't so expensive. Otherwise thumbs down.
