I have bought this shampoo based on friend’s recommendation.After few weeks by hair seems stronger and shinier.They don’t fall out now and not a single hair stays on the comb

Bought as gift. Recipient was very happy.

Caused me itchy scalp. Scent is nice though..

The ‘Daily Fortifying Shampoo’ by Baxter of California is a high-end shampoo and conditioner for giving your hair a good clean whilst conditioning and nourishing it.The shampoo comes in a relatively plain looking blue pump-dispenser bottle that dispenses pretty much the perfect amount of shampoo (for me anyway) in one pump.The first thing you’ll notice about the shampoo when you apply it is the minty fragrance that it gives off. Upon initial application the mint smell really is quite strong, but gives a cleaning, fresh sensation to washing your hair.The shampoo goes on well and has a good enough consistency to it to allow you to cover a great deal (if not all) of your head with one dispensed pump.After application and washing off your hair feels soft and healthy and very clean. There’s a lingering minty smell, but this gradually fades.All in all a very good shampoo and conditioner. Although the price clearly reflects this!

This is one of the more interesting shampoos I have tried in recent times and your reaction to it will depend on your hair care priorities. The first thing you notice is the fragrance which is very distinctively of mint-it is by no means unpleasant, but may not be to everyone's taste especially as it is very slightly astringent against the skin. The liquid has a gel like texture which creates a really rich lather which will offer good coverage even on very long hair. It then washes out easily enough leaving the hair cleansed, but it has to be said not especially shiny if that is important to you. It needs a conditioner afterwards to really get the nutrition and finish that most will be looking for. However, there is a big upside here. If you suffer from a dry scalp as I do then this is really good at settling it down with less flaking and irritation apparent even after the first wash. Clearly this is where the wheat protein and coconut extract really make a positive contribution. In short this is a much more attractive option to those looking for a dry scalp shampoo than those who simply want a good quality frequent use one especially as this is at a high price point.It comes in a practical salon style dispenser and is paraben free, but for me personally the initially positive results if they continue will encourage me to keep using this one primarily for my dry scalp.

I used this shampoo together with the recommended conditioner, and found it good for my dry scalp. I have very dry hair, and my scalp does itch on occasion, although I don’t have dandruff. The shampoo lathers well in hard water, and has a fairly strong scent of mint - which I am not particularly keen on. I did a double wash, using a small amount of shampoo each time, and my hair felt very clean and devoid of any product build-up.I liked the shampoo; it left my hair soft, shiny and healthy-looking when left to dry naturally. The price does seem a little steep, however - by performing a double wash - not only did my hair look better, but I also used less shampoo.Do I think this product will ‘fortify’ and leave my hair stronger? Only time will tell. Overall verdict: a good - though not exceptional - product, but personally, I don’t really like the fragrance.

This shampoo comes in a blue no frills utilitarian cylindrical container with a black plunger. Designed for men &tested in Baxter Finley Barber & shop in Los Angeles. I assume this is part of a Men’s range sold in Los Angeles.The appearance of the container is the opposite to feminine. A plain appearance overall that is quite smart.I like the black plunger, it makes it easy to dispense the shampoo which is not runny but smooth and flowing. You have complete control as you press the plunger. You can just let out exactly how much you want to use. Nifty.The shampoo has a slight mint scent that is not at all overpowering. It seems to disappear when the hair dries.Lathering well and rinsing easily my hair feels exceptionally clean.The container says that it is for all hair types with a strengthening system which contains: wheat protein, coconut extract, vitamin E & mint scent. It is also paraben-free.Only time will tell if it is strengthening, I have been using it for three weeks & my hair does feel softer and cleaner.

I like this shampoo, its pretty big and has lasted a fair bit so far. Because of the dispenser its easy to use as much as you really need and it also creates less mess, its also easier to store and put away. You only really need to use a little bit and it does make my hair feel softer and easier to manage. One thing I would say though and why really I knocked a star off is the mint scent is quite strong so you really only need use a little bit otherwise it can get overpowering I was quite surprised as to how strong it was considering the other ingredients in this.
