The Good: Effectively smooths hair, Cleans hair exceptionally well, Great lather!
The Bad: Expensive! No recognizable scent.
The Basics: Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo is an effective cleaning and conditioning shampoo, even if it is quite expensive.
One of the advantages of living in an economically depressed area is that premium products that come into our local stores seldom find their market. As a result of a depressed consumer base, most of the premium products that hit my town end up getting clearanced. For some reason, several of the stores in my area all stocked and then deeply discounted Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo. As a result, this rather fancy shampoo has become a staple shampoo around my house for a while!
Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo is a conditioning shampoo that does all that it promises. My hair was quite a bit cleaner, less dry and far smoother and more manageable after using the Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo for only a few consecutive showers. This shampoo, even without a conditioner, always left my hair perfectly clean. The cleaning and conditioning properties of the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo cannot be denied.
I tend to like shampoos that both clean and leave hair smelling good. The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing shampoo did the former well, but the latter poorly. After my first use of the shampoo, my hair was perfectly cleaned and smelled clean and neutral. I am a big fan of scents that trigger good memories, but the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo does not leave a noticeable scent; it only leaves the hair clean.
On the plus side, the Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo lived up on its promises to strengthen and smooth hair. Since I started using it, the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo has adequately protected my hair from breakage, while restoring the bounce and shine to my hair. My hair no longer has split ends or other damage since I started using the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo.
With a cost of approximately $8.99 for a 25.3 fl. oz. bottle, Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing is comparatively expensive. The bottle is smooth and is more flat than round. When wet, it slips out of the hands easily. The cap has a flip-top that makes it very easy to get the shampoo out with only one hand.
The scent of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing is very much a chemical smell. The shampoo smells like an indistinct mix of cleansers without anything to recommend it for the aroma. The scent is strong in the bottle, but not in the shower. There is no scent left on the hair after the shampoo is washed out. As one who loves interesting smells – fruit or floral - one of my problems with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo is that it leaves no noticeable scent. I have discovered I enjoy shampoos that trigger a scent memory and the generic shampoo scent of the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo triggers nothing.
Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing is a white, opaque shampoo that is creamy and smooth. It has a non-watery consistency and it is one of the thickest shampoos I have ever used. In fact, this is almost like a conditioner in its consistency.
Like most shampoos, there is nothing mysterious to using the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo. One simply wets their hair, lather it up with this shampoo and rinse. Like most shampoos, I can get away with using about a quarter-sized drop of the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo to clean my hair. The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing shampoo lathered up very well. This becomes a very foamy shampoo when lathered into the hair and that helps it wash out exceptionally easily.
The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo has an excellent lather quality. It took almost nothing to work it up to a lather and that lather spreads into the hair and cleans amazingly. Indeed, with average usage, the product was surprisingly easy - especially when compared to its initial consistency - to spread through my hair. This required a bit of agitation to lather it properly and the results were spectacular.
This shampoo rinses out incredibly easily, as well. When I am in a hurry and can only wash my hair, the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing shampoo rinses out very quickly and leaves my hair perfectly clean and smooth. As well, the shampoo alone leaves the hair without any scent, so there is nothing to rinse out beyond the shampoo itself. The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo required almost no effort to rinse it out, making is a quick shampoo to apply and rinse out.
The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Smoothing Shampoo does not make my hair feel heavy when it is still wet, and once dry, the shampoo lives up to its promise of moisturized, healthy-looking hair. This is a shampoo that actually smooths hair and makes it more manageable, just like it is supposed to!
