Cleansing Thickening Paste  - Clay & Algae

Great for thin, aging hair!

I have fine, thin, wavy, color-treated aging hair. This gives me volume w/o using products, and makes my hair look fantastic. I have the older version in the brown tub and the smell is strong, but not offensive. I've tried the women's version, while that is good, if you're looking for volume and bouncy hair, this works a LOT better.

it works!

this review is after using this product for the first time. I will update it if any of the information changes. I'm a woman with short, fine flat hair in a pixie cut. I used a small amount of the shampoo, and it didn't really lather. I worked it through my hair and rinsed iand and my hair did feel squeaky clean. Just for the heck of it I took another little bit and applied it to my scalp, and this time it lathered profusely. When I went to blow dry my hair with my Dyson curling brush I had difficulty because my hair was so soft and light that the brush had difficulty catching it. I used none of my normal bodybuilding products, and my hair has way more volume than it normally does with those products. it is also extremely soft and shiny. I am impressed, and at this point, I expect to continue to use this product.

Slight differences with new packaging

This is different from the previous packaging (brown jar). Scent is less strong and the texture is thicker and more paste-like, for me this means that it stays together better once I apply it to my scalp. Still an excellent product for fine hair! Personally I dislike the new packaging design but that doesn't impact my review.

dries your scalp, can cause dandruff

Smells nice, cleans .... but caused me to have a severe dandruff after the second use. Careful!
