i totally agree!

I disagree. I love Giovanni SAS shampoo and I do not think that it is stripping. It leaves my hair very moist. "Everything ain't for everybody".

I've had this exact same experience with Giovanni, the first and only time I used that shampoo. People say give products a chance, but that straw/stretchy feeling scared the hey out of me and I don't want to do it again! I'm transitioning though. Evil or Very Mad

I didn't do an ingredient analysis or anything but I ended up switching to trader joes nourish spa shampoo and it worked much better for me. I tend to be heavy handed so I have to remember not to use so much. You could also try pre pooing with your favorite oil to prep your hair for your shampoo.

I made the same switch to trader joes nourish spa shampoo, I like it better. I wish I could get this Giovanni to not make my hair feel so straw like, maybe I will add conditioner.
