R+Co BLEU Ingenious Thickening Shampoo – Boosts Body, Bounce, and Shine for Fine Hair, Cleanses and Clarifies, Removes Product Buildup, Adds Instant Volume, 8.5 oz

Shampoo is excellent! Would highly recommend.

This is more for the seller vs for the product. I've used this shampoo for a year and it's great. Unfortunately, this seller sends something completely random instead of what's ordered. We'll see if the replacement is actually correct.Update: replacement is still not correct. DO NOT BUY!

Really makes a difference

My husband wanted to try this R+Co BLEU Ingenious Thickening Shampoo. He loves trying new products, especially ones that are on the more premium end of the shampoo spectrum.He has very thin hair that is a bit sparse in some areas. He is always on the lookout for a thickening shampoo that can add some fullness to his hair. Most don't do anything, at least not anything that is going to make you stop and take notice. This shampoo DOES add some volume but it isn't anything that he would pay for more as the results are minimal at best.The fragrance is quite nice - musky, masculine, and very cologne like. He really enjoyed the scent and it does linger on your hair for awhile even after it's fully dried.The shampoo lathers fairly well and you don't need a lot to work up a decent lather. My husband's hair was left feeling squeaky clean (he appreciated that since he gets super sweaty at times) but it was also a bit drying. I only tried it on my hair once for testing purposes and it did clean my oily scalp but left my ends incredibly dry!!!! (like hay!) My husband loves the way it cleans his hair so he's happy.While this shampoo does have a more premium look and feel to it and does clean well, I'm not sure if it offered enough other benefits to entice me to repurchase again.

Updated 10/10/21: Well I feel like a heel... I wrote a scathing review below about this shampoo, but I used it again today with a different conditioner (the R+Co Bleu Primary Color conditioner) and the results were ENTIRELY different. Hair feels great. I wonder if the Thickening conditioner was the issue, if I really did not rinse well enough, or if I used too much product that day. Long story short - the Thickening shampoo smells Wonderfull and DID get my hair nice and clean. Did it "thicken" my hair? Mmmmmm.... I don't know about that. Gotta be honest, I LOVE R+Co Bleu products for their overall performance, the shine and control they bring to my hair, the fragrance, the packaging - the whole experience. I just can't say that it thickened anything. I'm just so glad I gave it another try, because I do love all of their other products I tried! ~Amy10/4/21: Let me start by saying that I recently discovered R+CO Bleu as a Vine member. Prior to trying R+CO Bleu I was a die-hard Oribe, Moroccan Oil and IGK fan. Once I tried the R+Co Bleu Primary Color Shampoo and the R+Co Bleu styling products, I was hooked! Oribe will have to take a backseat now. Today I tried the Ingenious Thickening Shampoo and conditioner and I'm totally confused. I don't know what they were thinking. Maybe it will be easiest to organize my thoughts by number...1) Fragrance: The fragrance is the same as the other R+Co Bleu products: cardamom, pineapple, lavender, tangerine, bamboo and blonde woods. I love this fragrance. It's layered and sophisticated. You can smell it throughout the day but isn't overpowering. It's a beautiful gender-neutral aroma.2) Consistency/Cleansing Performance: Straight out of the bottle, it has a unique consistency. It's thick - not like conditioner-thick, but like glue? It lathered nicely, but was not at all moisturizing. If you have dry hair (like I do), this is likely not the shampoo for you. I used the thickening conditioner after I rinsed out the shampoo (which also had a similar strange consistency), but my hair did not feel conditioned at all.3) Result: All day, my hair felt like I had washed it, but did not rinse it well enough. It felt dry and brittle. I can't wait to wash it tomorrow with my R+Co Primary Color shampoo and conditioner. The R+Co Primary Color shampoo and conditioner are sent from the heavens above. I'm just so confused as to who this "thickening" product would be for and how it would be considered "thickening" when it truly just made my hair feel in need of a good cleansing.My opinion would be to skip this "thickening" line and head straight for the Primary Color R+Co Bleu shampoo and conditioner (and ANY of the styling products)! ~Amy

I found this product to texturize my hair in a way that it always felt slightly damp & tacky. Not sure what it does for others but this is terrible for my fine, long fragile hair. It literally causing breakage. Not for me & disappointed in this product considering I like so much of the r + co line.

It's really hard for me to decide if I love this enough to want to repurchase it. Like all other volumizing shampoo products they work by either swelling up your hair or drying it out at the scalp so it stands up. To me this felt deeply cleansing so the roots of my hair were almost squeaky clean. If you have dry ends I'd be a little more cautious using this because it can be a bit stripping to the ends. Just make sure you have a good conditioner or mask to follow with.The scent is pretty powerful, like an 8 out of 10 as far as potency goes. It's a nice musky smell like others in the line but definitely not for everyone. If you have the chance to try it in a store or salon I would do that before picking this up.The packaging is an absolute hit though, free seed pack! (Hidden in the flap), eco friendly, 3d printed cap. I really appreciate that aspect.
