Most Helpful Positive Review Glad to be Back! So I did a silly thing. I was noticing that my hair has some mild thinning and lots of breakage after probably 3-4 total years of using very natural shampoos, and I mistakenly thought it was the natural shampoos doing it. I had used another brand prior to coming to Acure, but I'd most recently been using a combo of this Acure shampoo and another natural brand's shampoo mainly for about the last 1.5 years. So, silly me, I decided to go on a wild goose chase in search of something "better" for my hair. Can I just tell you, that my journey took me through FOUR other huge salon-sold brand names (we're talking legit $30 a bottle stuff). I had a scalp reaction to one, encountered two that stunk of fake chemical perfume to high heaven, dealt with one that left nasty chunky greasy-looking clumps, fought with one that made my hair impossible to dry, got mad at two that left my second-day hair just utterly disgusting and greasy, and I said THAT. IS. IT. I'm done with this. I'm headed right back to Acure! Thankfully my Acure was still right there in the shower caddy waiting longingly for me! Immediately after switching back to this Volume shampoo, I'm happy with how my hair is freshly dried out of the shower and how it looks all day. It definitely makes my scalp happy, because my second-day hair is and has been the best it's ever been in my life when I'm using Acure. I do think this product adds some volume and life to my hair, definitely way more so than the aforementioned overpriced $30-a-bottle salon junk. I'm frustrated with myself that I allowed myself to waste time and effort (and have some real bad hair days) in this foolish quest to find something else, but I did come out the other side knowing that Acure is 100% amazing. I can't believe how poorly those other brands compared! I also decided that A) I would like to venture into some of the other Acure shampoos/conditioners to see how my hair reacts (and maybe another might fit my hair even better!), and B) I think my breakage has resulted from the fact that I admittedly almost never condition my hair (gasp). I know, I know. Terrible. So out of this, I've resolved to take better care by conditioning at least every other wash. I currently own the Volume conditioner, but I think I'm going to try the Smoothing for a little more moisture care.
Most Helpful Critical Review Acure Vivacious Volume Shampoo DO NOT USE THIS SHAMPOO AS IT IS NOW FORMULATED. This, along with the other original versions of Acure Shampoo, now contains as its second ingredient (second only to water) Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which was named the "2004 Allergen of the Year". Acure has not even updated their ingredient list on their website. I am very disappointed because Acure was originally a very good product. It saved my hair a few years ago. Now, in my opinion, it is no better than most other brands out there. Please be careful, do your research, and let the company know how disappointed you are in the change of ingredients. Maybe they will listen.

Used to be amazing 2
Mel from Undisclosed
The peppermint and echinacea shampoo used to be my favorite shampoo ever—until they changed the formula and packaging. The new formula leaves my scalp feeling dirty and you need way more product than you used to need to clean your hair appropriately. The shampoo also comes in a smaller bottle than it used to. Those things combined, you go through way more product much faster and still don't have a clean feeling when you're done. Please go back to the old formula!
Scent is lovely! Was having 5

Scent is lovely! Was having a lot of oiliness previously and since I switched, oil has not been a problem, nor has my hair felt dry!
12oz down to 8oz - SAME PRICE AS 12oz 3
Jimme from Undisclosed
I love all of these shampoos and conditioners!! However I just found out that they are not only available in the 8oz tubes and they are the SAME PRICE as the old 12oz bottles. I feel ripped off. 4oz less for the same price doesn't seem like a smart way to keep loyal customers.
I love that this shampoo 5
Linda D. from Undisclosed
I love that this shampoo has no harmful ingredients. I love the clean scent and it leaves my hair full and manageable. For years I had red itchy scalp which was not from dandruff. It was an allergic reaction to popular brand shampoos that use toxic ingredients. My scalp is now healthy and itch free.
Super Scented Shampoo 5
Samantha H. from Undisclosed
This is the best-smelling peppermint shampoo. I also love how it doesn't strip the oil completely out of your hair like other shampoos. It makes my hair feel healthy and clean while giving an aromatherapy-like experience in the shower with it's awesome scent.
Love it!!! 5

Good Shampoo Bad Conditioner 2
Rose K. from Undisclosed
This was my first time using natural shampoo and it's kept my hair much softer than expected. I think it's just the conditioner (but could be a mix of the shampoo as well) but my scalp has been so itchy since using this product. I have red bumps all over my head, which I have never had with any shampoo or conditioner I have used.

Reduced product ounce and changed packaging 2
Shanna from Undisclosed
I was excited to see the packaging in a more user friendly format, but the product has been reduced from 12 ounces to 8 ounces. When I used the new product, it didn't feel like I should be using less of it, it seemed like the same product. This feels like a dupe on Acure's part to reduce the volume of the product without any explanation and charge the same amount. I'm going to be searching for a new product, even though I do like using this one, it's not worth the price for 8 ounces.
Favorite 5
Caroline T. from Undisclosed
I've been hooked on this shampoo and conditioner for a year or so now. I tried switching away at one point because I ran out last minute, and just grabbed something else. Man was my hair not happy and I will never switch again. Keeps my hair so healthy, full, luscious, and feeling good.
Nice for fine hair 5
Winnie from Undisclosed
I use this and argan shampoo, say 2-3 days mint then 1-2 days argan. Healthy hair, not too dry, not too limp.

Volume shampoo 5
Denise B. from Undisclosed
I really love this shampoo, it doesn't strip but makes it feel clean an fluffy if that's a thing for someone with fine straight oily hair. Paired with the conditioner it's a must especially for this summer heat/humidity that would typically weigh my hair down even more
Minty Pick Me Up 5
Lisa O. from Undisclosed
I love the minty freshness of this shampoo. It's gentle but invigorating and leaves my hair and scalp clean and healthy. I pair it with the Vivacious Volume Conditioner and it's one of my favorite shampoo and conditioner sets.
Nice Shampoo! 5
