Loreal expertise new no sulphate range?

Hi,
Has anyone used the new Loreal expertise no sulphate range that boots are stocking yet? Any thoughts? Wanted to buy some to try but my local store didn't have matching shampoo and conditioner so will have to wait but interested to see if anyone has used it yet as its a departure from Loreal's usual offerings!

Provided they are exactly the same in Australia (and they look it), yes I used it a few months ago. I would have gotten the one for volume (sorry can't remember the name).

I stopped using it after a few weeks as, while my semi colour was preserved wonderfully, I found that my hair had build up and felt oily even after washing. I do have very fine hair that needs washing everyday though and the products probably would have been fine if I had used a clarifying shampoo once a week as I do now. Personally I would spend the extra little bit to buy nicer products.

I got some to try as a trial they did with Elle magazine towards the end of last year and loved it. Left my hair (long, thick) really soft and shiny, my hairdresser commented on how soft it was. Still hasn't reached my local Boots so I've been ordering it online.

Should have said that I normally avoid Loreal shampoos, prefer Kerastase or Aveda (Aussie when skint) so pleasantly surprised by this range.

They can make you hair feel like straw?but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Sulphates strip off the natural oils from your hair so you need products with silicone to deal with frizz afterwards.
Then you need sulphates to strip out the silicones...and so on and so on.
If you use no-sulphate shampoo then you need to use conditioner and other products without silicones.
The EverSleek shampoo works fine for me (they don't lather up much, though, takes a while to get used to) but the conditioner didn't, so I switched to a richer Garner Fructis no-silicone conditioner.

Thanks ladies! Think I will give it a whirl when boots have it in stock! SLS aggregates my eczema something rotten so managed to find good shower/bath products without it but been struggling for shampoo and conditioner options so will try this and hope it works on my hair!

There are quite a few out there actually, as there's a sort of no-sulphates cult.
If you google it you can find lists of drugstore brands that don't have sulphates.

Google Neways, they don't have SLS. You can sign up to buy just for yourself like I do as I'm not into the MLM thing
