My take on some Phyto products

Hi Kara,I know that people should shampoo with a lower ph shampoo-these do sound too high of a ph..by coincidence, my husband and I were looking at these Phytology shampoos last week( I think they were the same brand and not a generic)and noticed they make a shampoo with cider/vinegar which made the shampoo stated at 3.5 or something close to that number-which I think would be proper for colored hair. Maybe you should look for this product and exchange the shampoo for that one. Let us know how it does for your hair because we were thinking of buying it for ourselves-our water has a little bit high of a ph (a little over 8)and we need lower ph shampoos. Thanks!Holly

Hi Kara,Sorry to hear about your disappointment with Phyto.I used the Phytocidre with the cider/vinegar which does indeed have a lower pH. It worked great for me.I thought at first that it would be yucky because of the vinegar, but it was really good. I also used the Phytomoelle which has all sorts of bamboo oil/bark conditioners. It smelled ok and was sort of a gold color, but it made my hair feel great. Then I followed up with the #7. I have coarse, naturally wavy, color treated for 10 years) hair and it did the trick.I think you should take everything back to the store and maybe try the Phytocidre shampoo if you are still willing to experiment. One thing to remember...sometimes it is a 4-6 shampoo process for any hair to get used to new hair care products.I noticed that the Phytologie took about 2-3 shampoos to really kick in full potential although I did notice a difference right away.Even though a product may be designed for dry hair, it may not work on YOUR dry hair. I learned that the hard way and so I am never convinced about a product till I try it on my hair.Friends of mine with similar hair just raved about Abba and it did not work for me. I wrote a review about my first set of Abba products. I got lots of email from people telling me that I had not tried the "right" Abba. So I went back to the store and bought the entire Abba line. I tried all of it. Nothing. So for me, Abba just does not work. I am sure it works great for others...just not me or my hair.I know it is disappointing to try a new product that has a great reputation and then not get the results. It is great that you do have the option to take it back.Thanks for sharing your experiences. I think people need to know that not everything works for everyone and that sometimes the only option is to experiment.Best wishes,KarenI also give a product at least 4 shampoos before I deem it a failure, unless after the first time my hair is so bad I can't stand it.
