Lumiere d'hiver Clarifying Shampoo No. 4


A new earth-friendly product that's been taking up space in my shower is No. 4 Lumiere d'hiver Clarifying Shampoo.  It is a weekly deep cleansing therapy that is nourishing to hair and scalp and the unique formula wont strip moisture or color.  The packaging is green, using soy ink and FSC certified paper and it uses plant based ingredients that strengthen, preserve color and purify.  The ingredients inside the fun Number 4 bottle excludes all potentially toxic ingredients to humans, clothing and the environment.  They don’t do animal testing either.
I have been using this product once a week for the past month or so and I really love it.  The directions specify to use a few pumps, wash hair, then make sure your hair is really saturated with water and wash again.  It might sound like that is a waste of product but the second wash really feels like it's stripping all the buildup in the hair.  The first wash seems to prep the hair for deep clarifying and the second wash really foams up but washes out easily.  I follow it with my regular conditioner or a deeply hydrating masque.  The scent is light, fresh-smelling, and pleasant.  When my hair is dry following this product is has a lot more volume and feels silky smooth, not at all dry or brittle.  
If you're looking for a good earth-friendly clarifying shampoo from a company that seems to really care about the environment I'd definitely suggest this one.  Also, the bottle is pretty cute, sits well in the shower/tub, and easily pumps out the product.  

Overall: A+
Pros: Earth-friendly ingredients and packaging, well designed bottle, product really clarifies hair, doesn't strip moisture
Cons: None!
