Worst Kerastase product
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.

Eco yes - but sadly poor result..
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.

Greasy after washing
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!

Love it
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.

Not up to the Kerastase Standard
I feel guilty writing as I'm a superfan of Kerastase products and have never been converted to another brand. I feel compelled to agree with the reviews that say that it doesn't feel like hair is clean afterwards, doesn't lather and that the bottom is greasy. Perhaps its for fine thinning hair? I have lots of hair but it's individually fine so I really struggled to get much out of this one. Hoping this is constructive feedback for Kerastase to advertise products for the correct hair type.

5th bottle in - love!
I have very fine, brittle, thinning hair - I started using this shampoo, conditioner and both oils when they first went on sale. The results have just gotten better as time has gone on. My hair is much better condition in fact so much so I've decided not to colour my hair again as better condition has meant I don't want to do any damage with colour. I'm so delighted with these products. It took a while to really see the difference but it's been remarkable. Worth every penny! X

Not good
I'm a big kerastase fan!! But not a fan of this shampoo!!!
It doesn't foam or lather well and my hair felt horrible afterwards? I'll stick to the discipline or volume shampoo for now on..
It does smell nice but disappointed with how it felt afterwards.

Doesn't do what a shampoo is supposed to do
This shampoo was a huge disappointment. It's like Kerastase doesn't know how to do a shampoo without parabens and silicones. It doesn't foam very much which is not necessarily an issue. But even though I rinse and repeat, it's hard to tell if it cleaned my hair sufficiently. And it doesn't! When my hair has dried, my top layers look perfectly fine but the bottom layer roots are greasy mess. I thought that maybe it was something else I used, like conditioner, but even if I put conditioner only on my ends, it still got greasy around my roots. Never experienced anything like this before. Don't recommend, especially for fine hair.

Really good
So all the bad reviews here really made me hesitant about this product. I've been looking at it for months before I finally decided to buy it.
It smells lovely, but I like when in just smell fresh and not to heavy cause I don't want my hair to smell like a perfume bottle.
It made my thick curly (Scandinavian) hair feel really clean. I also used the conditioner and I was abbot scared it would leave my hair feeling heavy. But I was wrong.
I haven't used it that much, since I just bought it. But so far so good!

Very Saisfied
I know Kérastase products are highly-regarded. The range was on offer. I like trying new products. So the shampoo and conditioner went straight into my basket. Then they came out again. Then in again, then out again, before I finally took the plunge. And I’m very pleased I did.
I dithered partly because of a negative review [I think there was only one review when I ordered] and partly because of the shampoo’s description [natural touch - ie, slightly stiff. I wondered if this was the price to be paid for being sulphate-free].
However, I love using these products and feel that they are doing my hair good. It feels soft and shiny and healthy. I love the smell - it’s a treatment in itself. I even love the sight of the shampoo bottle – its serious-brown colour and its shape are really pleasing.
I have fine curly/fluffy coloured hair, and wash it every morning after a sweaty workout at the gym. I put on a hefty blob of conditioner [full of fine oils] and sit in the sauna for 5 mins before rinsing it out. Then I just towel dry and go. I used to add a couple of drops of Moroccan oil, but no longer feel the need. Any “slightly stiff” feeling after washing is immediately offset by the fine oils in the conditioner. These two products need to be used in conjunction, and I would guess that the negative reviewers have not followed the shampoo with the conditioner.
My only reservation is a fear of leaving these products at the gym. I know they would not get handed-in.

Disappointed
I love kerastase but this product is not there best. Dried out my hair and left it extremely coarse looking when dry.

Disappointing for Kerastase
This dries out my hair and definitely need.a conditioner. I guess if you used it with the matching conditioner it would be fine. Better Kerastase shampoos available. Wouldn't be repurchasing.

Worst of Kerastase
Horrible product dries out my hair so much and breaks. When washing my hair feels like hard and tangled like broom. Has a very strong smell too.

Buyer beware!
I currently use the only other sulphate free shampoo that Kerastase produce and that is so rich I don't need a conditioner. I thought this would be a nice alternative but I have only used it once and my hair was like straw and I couldn't get my tangle tease through it.
Eventually when dry it looked nice but I can't go through that procedure again. It didn't help that I tried to call Kerastase and held the line for 40 mins without anyone picking up.. I would love to know what the answer is. I have just ordered the matching conditioner but will not be trying again until I manage to speak to a Kerastase Rep.

Okay
I was not overly keen on this shampoo. It smells nice but doesn't leave my hair as soft and shiny as other Kerastase shampoos I've used. I'll finish this bottle but won't buy it again.

Ok
This shampoo did an ok job on my fine natural hair, but I found it very watery, and the scent similar to men's cologne (more so the shampoo, stronger scent) I wouldn't buy again.
