A WOMAN that has been a hairstylist for the past 17 years has taken to social media to reveal the popular shampoos that she absolutely hates.

She shared her video with the caption ‘these are just my opinions….’
Katie said: “Shampoos I hate from a licensed hairstylist of 17 years.
“These are just my opinions so take it how you want.”
According to Katie, you should only use the Aveda rosemary mint shampoo “if you want dry hair.”
She also said that she hates the Pantene daily moisture renewal shampoo, as she said that it is “filled with wax that coats and then strips your hair.”
The hairstylist also explained that the Moroccan Oil moisture repair shampoo should only be used “if you want greasy hair straight outta the shower.”
Another shampoo that Katie never uses is the Living Proof restore shampoo, as according to her, “it’s just a no.”
While she thought the OGX nourishing coconut milk shampoo “smells good”, she said it is also “heavy and chemically.”
Not only this, but Katie explained that she isn’t a fan for the expensive Oribe signature shampoo, as she explained “it should work better for the price point, I do love their gold lust line though.”
When it comes to Dove intensive repair shampoo, she simply asked “why?”
When it comes to shampoo for blondes, Katie shared her thoughts on the Fonola no yellow shampoo, as se claimed “use this if you want your blonde hair to crack off on the ends…so drying.”
Finally, a shampoo that Katie once used but now won’t is the Pureology hydrate shampoo, as she revealed it “used to be good but they changed the formula and I don’t love it anymore.”
Katie posted her clip just 20 hours ago, but it has quickly gone viral and has racked up a whopping 1.8million views.

A third commented: “I knew I wasn’t crazy. Pureolgy used to be my fav but then something changed. Had no clue formulas changed but that makes sense.”
