Biotique Walnut Bark Fresh Lift Body Building Shampoo For Fine & Thinning Hair: Review & Swatch

After a horrible experience with my previous shampoo (read about it here) , I wanted my hair to take a break from harsh chemicals and try out some natural product to revive my hair from the damage that they had suffered. Thinking about natural, I thought of Ayurveda and with Ayurveda Biotique came to my mind because it is the most easily available,affordable and reliable product.

So in the store whilst searching for a shampoo amongst similar looking Biotique packs, my eyes stopped on one bottle which read “BODY BUILDING SHAMPOO” and I got curious to find out more about this and if you feel the same then read on…..

MY EXPERIENCE BIOTIQUE WALNUT BARK FRESH LIFT BODY BUILDING SHAMPOO:

I had always heard that amla ,bhringraj work wonders for hair and reetha is a natural cleanser, this product had all three along with added advantages of walnut bark so without any second thoughts I picked it up. Another reason was that its meant for people with fine and thinning hair ( just like me 🙁   )

It comes in a standard Biotiquepackaging with a plastic bottle and a green cap. The shampoo is neither too thick nor too runny. The color is blue with a hint of violet to it and the smell is quite strong. Can’t describe but it smells like some ayurvedic oil. Not much quantity is required, just a coin sized amount is sufficient to clean hair which are slightly below shoulder length, so yes the bottle lasts long enough. It lathers and cleanses well.

I have very oily scalp and I have to wash my hair daily (yes I mean daily!!!!!don’t be surprised) and after the first wash I realized that it gave me thoroughly clean hair and scalp, but apart from that it made no difference to my hair. After many washes also it could not change my opinion. It made absolutely no difference to the way my hair look or feel. No shine, no volume, no lift or bounce or whatever the product claimed:(

“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- It’s quite an average product. It’s just a good cleanser. Does not provide any benefits to the hair so, if you are not looking out for added advantages in a shampoo and want a good natural cleanser for oily hair (but yes it contains sls), go for it.
