Aussie Cleanse & Mend Shampoo Review

I'm going to get right to the point by saying that I love this shampoo. This is my second bottle and this shampoo performs true to its claims. What more can one ask for from a drugstore shampoo? It comes in purple packaging like all Aussie products. The back clearly shows the list of ingredients along with directions for use.


The reason I got this shampoo is because I have a dehydrated/oily scalp. What I need is a shampoo that can get rid of the grease, dirt etc., while still keeping my scalp hydrated, and hair well tamed. The shampoo claims to cease the grease and quench the frazzled ends.


The shampoo is a creamy liquid that has a pearly shine to it. It smells sweet and fruity, with citrusy notes.

After use I've noticed my scalp doesn't feel dry or itchy and I saw a reduction in my scalp acne. It also leaves my hair smelling good until the next time I shampoo (which is usually 4-5 days). My scalp doesn't get oily until 2 days after I use this. Now it doesn't totally cure my hair and make it anti-frizz but it leaves my hair smooth whenever I use it. And my husband who has dandruff loves this shampoo too. It lasts a long time since it's a huge bottle, 13.5 oz (400ml). It cost me around $3 in a combo sale at CVS.

I recommend this to anyone who has a greasy plus dehydrated scalp, frizzy dry hair, and need a good shampoo. I'll repurchase it once I finish this one. This is my second bottle though so I did repurchase it once.

Hope the review helps you.

      Yeah, I read about it on your blog and was thinking about it, will give it a try...this should work well for you too, but even if it doesn't, its only $3 and you can keep it in rotation with whatever works for you.

    I rotate my shampoos once in 5 months depending on when I get sick of em...right now using pantene. For me what really transforms my hair is 'conditioner'. Though lot of people have advice me against using garnier I still prefer Garnier silky straight conditioner for frizz free hair:)

      I agree, conditioner is good but they are usually heavier and greasier compared to moisturizing shampoos and not everyone prefers them, I do though... but I also sometimes just like my moisturizing shampoos when I don't want to grease my hair with conditioners coz I use oil for that.

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. For those I've reviewed I have linked them to the blog post. For the rest of them, I left short reviews of why I did or didn't like them. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold: This product is just wow.

Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: I first got introduced to this lotion when I was in India and

5 Things that Did Not Work for Me to Lose Weight with Hypothyroid/PCOS

 I have been suffering and dealing with Hypothyroid/PCOS for about a decade now. Weight gain is one of the main problems of people struggling with these two chronic illnesses. I have tried a lot of things to reduce weight and over the years I have been through many trials and tribulations and made many mistakes in the process of trying to lose weight.  The following tips come from my experience and these are mistakes you might want to avoid if weight loss is your goal with Hypothyroid/PCOS. Counting calories : Like many others, I bought into the belief that by counting calories and limiting my calorie intake I would be able to lose weight. But this is a very bad way to start because it gives you the idea that you can eat anything and everything as long as you are limiting your calorie intake. And since most foods like junk, and ready-made foods that you buy at the supermarket come with a lot of calories, I used to overall eat very less, not get enough nutrition, starve myself, and then
