Customer Reviews of Lanza Healing Smooth Glossifying Shampoo 33.8 oz literCustomer Review: Left Grainy/Waxy Residue on Hair Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited to use this product when I first picked it up a week ago. The product description and staff recommendation at my salon got me pretty interested and I loved the scent. I have extremely unruly, wavy, naturally copper-colored hair which I am attempting to grow out from a very short pixie cut (6 inches of craziness now, and counting). The idea of a "healing" product seemed like a great idea, given that I have been prone to a bit of dryness lately and want my hair and scalp to be as healthy as possible to encourage strong growth. Other features I liked about this shampoo included the fact that it is sulphate-free (sulphates and dandruff go hand in hand for me) and that it is not tested on animals.
Unfortunately, I was very quickly disappointed when I used the product - literally, as I shampooed, I could feel the texture of my hair changing from just everyday oily to feeling filthy dirty (like I dipped my head in silty water). It was really gross. I had this moment of "oh no, not again!" as this has happened to me with another sulphate-free product in the past (Everpure shampoo by L'Oreal). The L'oreal product actually damaged my hair horribly, in addition to leaving a gross, waxy residue, so I was concerned the same was going to happen here. Even so, I figured I'd give the L'anza product a fair chance since I'd already started the process, so I dutifully conditioned with the product from the same line and then went about my blowdrying routine. I did find that my hair was more controllable when using this product, but this was because the weight of the build-up on my hair was so extreme. It took forever to blowdry it too. After it was finally dry, it felt a little better to the touch (though still rather dirty-feeling). It also changed the color of my hair to a bit darker and duller-looking, which is not at all what I had in mind!
For the price of the product, I was very displeased with its performance. I used it twice more, just in case, but the result was always the same, so I wound up returning it to the salon for a refund. The good news is, when I washed with my old shampoo (Organix), all the build-up disappeared, leaving my hair in the same (albeit dry) condition as before I used the L'Anza products. So, no harm done here, especially since L'Anza does have a great money-back guarantee!
I asked at the salon about my experience and was told that the lighter and finer your hair, the better "smoothing" products work. For thicker, darker hair though, the build-up can be too intense. I'll be keeping this in mind the next time I decide to purchase a higher-end product!
