Hello everyone!
When I ran out of my usual shampoos by Garnier and Dove(which my parents buy from UAE for me), I had to search for a decent shampoo. The shampoo that I like to always use is Clinic Plus (mostly because of the fact that my childhood feelings are attached to it, and also for its mild action). This time also, I asked for a Clinic Plus Shampoo, but sadly the store didn’t have its big sized bottle and I was lazy enough to check out other stores. Though, this is also not a large sized one, I planned to get this for two reasons! One, for being a Dabur product. And second, for being a lover of both black olives and almonds. 😀 And, that is how I picked this one! 🙂

My Experience with Dabur Vatika Black Olive and Almond Shampoo:
The bottle itself is so stylish like a complete gentleman dressed in black. 🙂 It comes in a strong flip top bottle. The ingredients list says that it contains aqua extracts of amla, shikakai, henna and green almonds. In the image you could see the brown ones, huh? I didn’t even open and check it out until I was ready to wash my hair in the bathroom. Now, the scariest part! I opened it for using it on my oiled hair and took some on my palm. I was shocked to see that it has got a greyish – black colour with shiny particles. The colour resembles a hair dye!!
Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be in any particular colour. But, black was an option beyond my imagination. I could not help myself and I checked the product label, read everything written over it carefully once again! Finally, relieved myself that I haven’t misread anything. Though I was hesitant, I still went ahead and used it on my hair for the first time.
It smells like a mild shampoo and there is no issues related to its smell for me. About its working, it does the job of a shampoo to a good extent. I have a tendency to use it more than the required amount, feeling it may not remove the oil completely out of my hair otherwise. After each usage, my hair looks darker. I have no major hair fall issues, so I can’t actually comment on that.

Why use a Silicone Free Shampoo?
I still remember the fragrance of Clinic Plus, it definitely takes us back to our childhood, but I don’t use it anymore. This one seems like a good shampoo but how can they get confused between almonds. :O
ya..I too have no clue abt that..
Vatika has been in India for as long as clinic plus, I think. Even if it hasn’t we all show that much of trust in the brand. Must be a decent shampoo to work with. Nice review Sana 😀
