Hi, today I want to give you the low down on Nu-gro. The one I have is the shampoo. They claim to be made with 100% natural herbs and vitamins, so lets review shall we:



Smell 
-The smell is almost yummy and smells like essence. It is not floral which I love but it has a pleasant smell.

Product Breakdown
I don't know about anyone else but I have no idea what half of these ingredients are. So here is the breakdown on some of them.

Sodiaum Laureth Sulpate(SLES)- A surfactant that is commonly used in soaps, shampoos, detergents and toothpaste. Slightly less irritating than can lead to a damaged hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children even liver toxicity. Slightly less irritating than SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) it cannot be metabolized by the liver and therefore has a longer lasting effect.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine- Considered to be a synthetic surfactant, foam booster and cleansing agent. Associated with irritation and allergic contact dermatitis. Derived from coconut oil and obtained from the kernels of palm trees.

Directions
Wet hair, lather and rinse thoroughly. Repeat.

Price 
 Costs $9.98 on Nugro's site.
Texture 
Light and slightly runny. If you look at the photo it almost looks like a stain on my counter top. It is only slightly gooey and you have to watch it to make sure that it doesn't run out of your palm.


Reactions
Loved it. It doesn't really lather but my hair does not feel like it is squeaky clean or stripped.
