I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first purchased the solid shampoos from Basin. I didn't really believe that they would produce a good lather or really clean my hair. After just the first use, I was hooked! My hair is blonde and, while it is thick, it is also fine in texture. My hair can be dry on the ends, but retain oil at the scalp and it has been difficult for me to find a shampoo that I really liked and worked well with my hair. I have used Hey Blondie shampoo and conditioner and they are perfect for my hair. The shampoo produces a great lather, cleans very well, and leaves a wonderful scent. The conditioner really leaves my hair feeing clean, yet soft and shiny, and also leaves my hair smelling great all day long. After trying all types of hair care products, from expensive salon products to drug store finds, I have never found anything like it! I highly recommend Basin hair care to anyone!
