This shampoo definately has a lathering problem, however it does get my hair very clean. It just takes a lot of it to work up a lather sometimes. Probably because it's made from all-natural ingredients, and not synthetic ones like most shampoos are. It smelled good, kind of like baby shampoo. I think this is a pretty good product, however I need a good strengthening conditioner, preferably all-natural, and I haven't found one that works well yet. The bottle suggests alternating this shampoo with their Blue Camomile shampoo, which I haven't tried yet because I don't $8 for another bottle of shampoo. The cost is the main disadvantage to this shampoo. It comes in an 8 oz bottle, but for the most part, it's worth the price, considering how refreshing the natural ingredients are.
