Delivery & returns

I have very short (pixie cut) fine hair. My hair is uncoloured. I do train everyday and like a light shampoo that doesn’t weigh my hair down. This is exactly that. Shampoo has a lovely, clean smell. On my first wash, I don’t get a great foam (which is 100% normal) but my 2nd wash foams beautifully and leaves my hair feeling deliciously clean. I’d definitely recommend this if you have hair like mine and you’re over 50. Will definitely buy this again. Great product
As always Excellent service and speedy delivery!
Product not what i want, however i cannot find the product any longer, i assume its discontinued?
Thanks again
