Talk to me about Alterna haircare (shampoo/conditioner)...

Several of you guys mentioned loving Alterna haircare products- Bamboo, Caviar, etc.

What are the differences b/w each product line?

Why do you love it?

fwiw, I am Asian so I have coarse hair and a little wavy... 

Re: Talk to me about Alterna haircare (shampoo/conditioner)...

  • I used it for a few months and I was really loving it but my love has faded.  I think my hair has been more dry lately and I don't know what to attribute it to.  My mom told her hair colorist that she was using this and her colorist asked her why.  My mom never asked her why she said why, though... lol.  I wonder.
  • I started using Alterna Life volumizing when my stylist recommended it after having gone through some pretty intense color repair work. I really liked how it made my hair feel, so I kept using it. When I recently tried to reorder, Beauty.com didn't have any of the Life volumizing conditioner in stock so I bought hte Bamboo line volumizing conditioner. I think the only difference is that the Bamboo line is organic. I really like how the conditioner makes my hair feel and the scent of it. I think I need to try the shampoo next.

  • I bought a bottle of the Anti Aging Caviar shampoo and fell in love with it at first, but after a while (about a month)  noticed my hair was getting dry and couldn't see any great results. I switched to Pureology which I've used before and that seems to keep my hair healthy

     

  • I also loved the sample I got from Sephora so I used the Caviar line (shampoo only) for awhile, but stopped when I got my hair colored.  I'll probably use it again (to finish my bottle) but not every time I shampoo since it also seemd to be a bit drying.
