Reviews
There are no universal hair care products that would suit everyone the same, and the quality, composition is also different, therefore the reviews are all different. Often you come across such a phenomenon, when the same shampoo is given from an excellent characteristic to a degrading one. Everything is individual and you need to try, having studied the composition, promises of the manufacturer, recommendations. A certain amount of negative statements received a shampoo "Golden silk": the effect of the use did not correspond to the promised. Many say that the shampoo "Aleran" is effective only during its use, after the end of use, the condition of the hair returns to its former state. Complaints on the So Fast shampoo lie in the fact that it foams poorly, liquid, it turns out a big expense. Most of those who commented on these or other means emphasize the need to use conditioners, balms, masks of the same brand in parallel with shampoos for hair growth - only under such conditions the expected result is achieved.
