Baxter of California Daily Protein Shampoo

RRP: $13 for 300ml

--What does the promo say?--
"Protein, Coenzyme Q10, and nutrients promote hair strength, body, and manageability. Gentle formula removes buildup, and natural toxins like DHT, a male hormone found to be harmful to the hair's growth cycle."

--Packaging--
Cool blue, Kiehl's-style packaging, evoking a unisex vintage pharmacy feel. Plastic bottle with simple flip-top lid.

--Application--
As usual really: lather into wet hair, and rinse. Repeat and/or follow with accompanying conditioner if desired.

--Appearance--
A clear gel that's very slightly off-yellow. Transparent. Leaves no visible residue in the hair.

--Scent--
The tea tree smell is really invigorating and unusual for a shampoo. Wakes you up with its fresh, clean and distinctive smell.

--Texture/consistency--
Quite viscous, which can occasionally make it difficult to dispense from the bottle. However, it is easy to massage into the hair and easy to rinse.

--Longevity--
Results are positive both short and long-term, with smoothness and overall condition of hair being restored. I know this is a men's brand, but I may have to nick it. The Italian lime and bergamot ranges also sound delish.

--Value for money--
Excellent: you're getting something from a specialist company in men's care, which also works quite well for women. Good stuff. It also costs less than brands that are better-known (e.g. L'Occitane, Kiehl's), for no apparent reason. Go and add this to the grooming routine of the guy in your life - or why not your own, for that matter!
