What They Say: "Has summer taken its toll on your hair leaving you with split ends, breakage and weak lifeless styles? Well, Mother Nature has come to the rescue. Back to Basics Vanilla Plum Fortifying Shampoo is designed to infuse strength and vitality into damaged, weak hair using our unique Vanilla Plum Fortifying Complex. The complex contains a revitalizing blend of vanilla, plum and natural proteins that together help strengthen, improve texture, restore elasticity and protect hair, promoting overall health and shine.

[It] features a delicious fragrance which begins with a juicy top of black and red plums combines with rich black currant. Its accents are bursting with zesty citrus notes of lemon, key lime, and bergamot. The undertones are an absolute vanilla white musk to balance the overall fruity tone of the fragrance."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I could try to tell you how good this smells, but no matter how well I describe it, you're still going to open it up yourself and give a surprised "Ooooooooh!" It's honestly THAT good. My husband even made the Oooooooh noise when he smelled it. And I think he wanted to use it first, but I wouldn't let him! I can't really say I've noticed a huge difference in hair texture, though I have noticed more shine and that is always a good thing. If you've got more damaged or more stressed hair, you may see a more notable difference. I do know it doesn't weigh my hair down at all, and since it cleanses gently and smells so wonderful, it's definitely worth a try!
