Giovanni Smooth As Silk Shampoo Review
Giovanni Smooth As Silk Shampoo is packaged in slim, translucent bottles that let you see how much product you have left.
The shampoo has a pleasant, fresh, and fruity scent that relaxes the senses as you shampoo. The orange and grapefruit extract really comes true.
Giovanni Smooth As Silk Shampoo incorporates a pearlized formula that glistens in your hand and transforms your hair into a silky, smooth palette as it cleanses.
Giovanni Smooth As Silk Shampoo is a creamy consistency that isn’t too thick and has a pleasant, clean smell.
For some context, my hair type is a mix of 3C, 4A, and 4B, with normal porosity. My hair is always somewhere between SL and APL because I trim often. Why?
Long hair means forever to get it done and I simply don’t have that kind of time.
Not to mention the amount of product required on regimen day. I’ve come close to crying a few times. lol.
