Laritelle Organic Unscented Shampoo | Hair Strengthening & Clarifying | Hypoallergenic, Sulfate-Free | With Rosemary & Saw Palmetto

I’m giving Laritelle Sensual Bliss shampoo, along with the conditioner and pre-shampoo strengthening treatment, 5 stars not because it’s magically stopped all my excessive hair loss. Not because I’ve suddenly grown a luxurious mane of hair. It’s getting this rating because I truly believe the shampoo, in combination with the other two products, is absolutely making a difference, even though I’ve used it for less than a month. It’s getting the highest rating possible because I feel that this company believes in its products and the hope they offer to those experiencing hair loss. And I think they are a group of people with integrity and honesty at their core. At least this is my opinion after several communications with customer service.I am a middle-aged woman who has been experiencing an unusually high rate of shedding for the past 11 months. There are health issues, medication side effects, and genetics all playing a role here. And that’s quite a challenge for any product. But I KNOW beyond any doubt that there has been a reduction in hair loss of approximately 15-20% because I am one of those “counters”. Yep, I count ‘em. Not every day, but I don’t need to. A single glance at the brush, the sink, the clothes… I know when it’s going to be a bad day.Laritelle is the first all-natural, organic hair product I’ve ever used. Fortunately, my closest friends run with the “organic/green” crowd, so I’ve had a little experience with essential oils. But, if you’ve never had that opportunity, you may find the natural fragrance of Laritelle to be unlike that of commercial products. To me it’s earthy, herb-like; sort of like a deciduous forest floor after a rain shower..There’s also a difference in viscosity. Since Laritelle uses no artificial ingredients, including thickeners, it is a little thinner than the typical brand shampoo. Because my hair isn’t very “porous” it's harder to wet it down and work up a lather. I have to be more patient waiting for those bubbles to form.The first indication that something was changing was when, around the 6th day, my husband commented that my hair didn’t look as “flat”. He said it didn’t look “over conditioned”. I never knew he thought that in the first place.The real eye-opener came around the 11th day, when I went in for a haircut. The lady that cuts my hair had just started combing through it when she suddenly stopped and asked, “What have you done to your hair?” Uh oh. I replied (nervously) that I’d changed shampoo and conditioner, and was there something wrong with my hair? She answered, “Your hair feels so healthy and alive. This is the hair of a 12 year old girl, not someone our age.” I was genuinely stunned. I had been so focused, for so long, on how much hair was falling OFF, that I hadn’t truly noticed the condition of the hair that was still ON my head. She then asked me to write down the name of the products and where she could buy them.I wish I could say that I know for certain these products will continue to slow down the hair loss, stop it completely, and then the process of re-growing all that I’ve lost will begin. I can’t say that because only time will provide the proof. But I have shared with you exactly what has happened to this point, and that 15-20 percent reduction is very, very real.One last thing, I cannot begin to convey how wonderful the customer service is at Laritelle. I’ve had more than a few questions to ask them, and the lady that I’ve been in contact with via email has the patience of a saint. She also has such enthusiasm for her company’s products and the whole natural/organic movement. I believe this is a company with ethics. Their packaging is earth friendly. Part of their net sales goes to a wonderful charity. And they so believe in their products they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.Even if ultimately their products cannot help me, I will still buy the shampoo simply because I’ve become utterly addicted to the aroma and the way it makes me feel - just plain happy. (If I lose all my hair, I'll just walk around sniffing the bottle.)I love this company's line of hair products so much that I purchased three of their facial care items. They should arrive in a week or so.Good luck to all of you, or your loved ones, whoever is suffering with hair loss. It certainly is not the worst that can happen to a person, but it is still a tough thing to deal with.

I did a research before I ordered this shampoo. It's my 2nd time purchasing it. The ingredients are superior to any other products and I already noticed new hairs. I will continue using it. It makes me feel good that it doesn't have chemicals in it.

Good shampoo, leaves the hair feeling clean and fresh. I don't believe any shampoo can regrow hair, so wouldn't hold your breath on that. Having said that, if you want slightly more volume for your existing hair, this is a good option.

Okay, there is a backstory to this post. It’s relevant, so I guess, bear with me?? I’m 49. I have thinning hair. A little over a year ago I ordered this shampoo, hoping it would turn things around. I used it 2-3 times and didn’t really like how it felt when I used it. The shampoo was thin and “watery”, my hair was long, I had to use a LOT of product to get a lather and the lather wasn’t what I was used to. There was no slip to it, like I was used to. It kind of felt like it was stripping my hair like a clarifying shampoo…..only about times 100. So I wrote it off as an expensive fail and stuck it under the bathroom sink, where all my experimental products go to collect dust until the next de-cluttering.Fast forward a year. I am desperate. Because I have bald spots in the front of my head. These happened due to an assault where my hair was literally ripped out in huge chunks. It had happened 3 months previously and it was NOT growing back. I had been taking vitamin supplements, including Biotin since it happened. I had gone on HRT the month after. I was using an organic serum that was supposed to help. NOTHING was working. I knew I had a shampoo I had bought that was supposed to stimulate the hair follicles, so I went searching for it. Unearthed the bottle from under my sink and headed to the shower.My hair was short now. The shampoo was still thin, it still seemed to take a lot of product to create a lather, it still had that feeling that it was stripping my hair. I didn’t care. I made sure to massage it into the bald areas while I was shampooing and hoped for the best. I used it every other day. I hadn’t bought the conditioner with it, so I just used my regular conditioner afterwards. 12 days later I’m drying my hair with a towel and I look in the mirror and touch the bald area in the front of my hair on the right side…...and I feel stubble. Little hairs. Oh my God, I couldn’t get close enough to the mirror fast enough. Yes, hair. Plenty of it. I wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh, I was freakin’ amazed.I’ve included pictures. The bald ones are what I started with, obviously. The other four are after about 5 weeks of use. My hair is difficult to photograph because it’s very fine and it seems to come in very light and as it gets longer it darkens? I don’t know, but I think you can see all of the growth. All I can definitely say is that nothing was growing for months. I was so afraid that, due to my age and my already thinning hair, the bald spots were going to be a permanent thing. And a permanent reminder of something I really didn’t want to think about every time I looked in the mirror. I still don’t like the feel of it when I shampoo, but with these results I’ll gladly live with it. I’m also seeing new hair growth in other areas where my hair had become noticeably thin. I’ll be repurchasing. I hate the price. However, I’m willing to pay for something that I know works. It was a pretty extreme situation to put a product to the test in, but I’m SO GLAD this product actually lived up to the claims made.
