The other day as I was perusing our reviews, I found an interesting complaint about defective shampoo. Defective shampoo, really? What qualifies a shampoo as defective?
So I read on about the woes of a woman who no matter how much shampoo she used and how much she scrubbed it JUST WOULD NOT LATHER. She returned the bottle and posted her review to warn other shoppers of this defective shampoo.
Well at first glance this does indeed seem like a problem. Shampoo should create tons of white, fluffy suds just like that scene in South Pacific. But in reality not all shampoos lather. Did you know the very ingredient that makes a shampoo lather, is also the archnemesis of hair color? For real. That is why color protection shampoos just don’t lather like the others. I also checked and HairOne doesn’t lather either.
So don’t worry ladies – your shampoo isn’t broken.

Time to rethink that whole “Rinse, lather, repeat” mantra. : o )

Correction: Make that “Lather, rinse, repeat.” : – D

Dry shampoo – no lather there either in case you were wondering.

I know this! I have used color protection shampoos and I know they don’t lather and are not supposed to. HOWEVER….I feel as though my hair is not clean without a head full of white lather durning my morning shower!

I’ve often wondered about that lather thing. I’ve also noticed that modern shampoos are insanely THICK – sometimes so much so that they don’t really come out of the bottle! I end up watering them down.

I’ve been using Hair One for two years now. At first it bothered me that it didn’t lather, but my hair LOVES it and I have no damage even though it’s long, I color too often, and I blow-dry daily. I’ll take those results over lather any day!
