Kérastase Aura Botanica Bain Shampoo 250ml

I was warned that Sulphate free products take a while to get used to. I’ve used metastasis for years and wanted something to soften and nourish my thick wavy hair. After washing it felt slightly stringy, and pulled a little when drying, however once dry, I was so impressed with how nourished it was. Much less fluffy, smooth, glossy and healthy looking. The hard water in Europe has damaged my hair. This product is wonderful. Don’t expect it to be like your usual products. It’s sulfate free, So it doesn’t foam as much. But.... once you get used to it. It’s truly worth it. I’m thrilled.

I have dyed blonde hair and my hair is held straight with a Keratin blow dry so it is very hard to find a shampoo that caters to both my needs of something that doesn’t dry my hair out but also is sulphate free- this shampoo is amazing! It has the most amazing fragrance ever, cleans my hair without stripping it of moisture and leaves it feeling soft and cared for. I love that it’s 96% natural ingredients as there’s no harsh chemicals for my already over processed hair and I love that it’s sulphate and silicone free. It has fully restored my hair from being dry and brittle to looking silky and smooth. I always look forward to using this shampoo every time I wash my hair. A fanatic buy if you’re looking for something that won’t add any more damage to your hair when washing and that caters for dyed and treated hair.

I don’t normally do this, but I have to share....I have used Kérastase for years and this shampoo is the worst product I ever used, including cheap brands. Real waste of money, it made my hair very dry, unrecognisable!

I have wave hair. Aura Botanica knows how to treat curly hair and waves. My hair is not frizzy, nutritious, respect and enhance my waves. Having no parabens or sulfates or toxicity, the sensation is very different from normal and commercial products. It is better because it treats my hair. From the first day, I lose less hair. Without hesitation I advise it for everyone but especially people who need special care or seek hair care and enhance the naturalness of it.

I was a bit sceptical about this product as the reviews seemed so very mixed....some brilliant others dreadful! So I’m very pleased to report that I love it! I have thick long dry hair and a sensitive scalp so I’m always searching for the perfect shampoo.....this one lathers up well and yes I agree with other reviews my hair did feel a bit mat like after shampoo but as soon as I used the conditioner it was excellent....I used my own conditioner first time but have since bought Kerastase conditioner and love that too!

This shampoo smells like a forest, washed and smooth

I bought this shampoo and conditioner because of its "gentle" formula claim however this has striped y hair of all hydration, shine and softness. I've never tried a worse shampoo in my entire life. I've been using Kerastase products for 10 years and this is the first one that has disappointed beyond words. My hair is colour treated, rather thick so i was looking for something light, but after washing i can't even take my fingers through the hair to apply conditioner! it's the most drying shampoo, i felt i washed with dishwasher. It also doesn't clean very well, you need to apply 3 times at the roots to get the hair clean. I used it 2-3 times and ithen stopped using it completely. The conditioner isn't much better either.

I have been an enormous fan of Kérastase products for years regularly buying several different products (elixir brand) at my hairdressers - an approved outlet. Aged 62 now, I have natural (uncolored/graying) hair and rely heavily on my hair products to produce the very best condition and vitalised appearance as much as possible. However along with many other people I have also been trying to make changes to my lifestyle to be more sustainable and mindful of our impact on our environment - so was delighted to find Kérastase has created this new Aura Botanical range mostly from natural ingredients. I have now bought several of the different products online and used them in various combinations to see if I can get the same results that I easily achieve with previous elixir brand - very sadly not! ...I feel bad giving such a low review and wished it were otherwise but I will be returning to use Kérastase elixir products until you are able to produce something that ticks all the boxes.

I always use kerastase shampoos & thought I would try this new one. What a complete waste of money. I have stopped using it. Leaves a greasy film on the roots. After washing hair looks & even feels greasy - absolutely awful - avoid!

This shampoo, used in conjunction with the conditioner, helped restore my hair to fantastic condition after years of heat styling (still do) and last year's ombré. My hair and scalp are literally squeaky clean after. It feels a little weird at first because it doesn't feel smooth when wet but once I've dried it my hair is shiny and lightweight. I honestly don't think I'll go back to heavy products at the roots (I only ever condition the ends anyway). Just for reference I have long, thick hair. The majority of my head has quite fine hair on it but the crown is thick, dark wiry stuff. The botanica shampoo seems to cope with both pretty well, using it 2-3 times a week.
