Question I have fine silver hair and have been using shampoo formulated for white hair to remove the bluish tint that may occur with some shampoos. I would like to alternate shampoos and was wondering if Kiehls would be a good one to try? And I need a conditioner that does not build up and weigh down my hair which tends to happen because of the fineness of my hair. Thanks for your help. I use other Kiehls' products and simply love them.
- Answer I have dark hair so I am not sure about the bluish tint you are speaking of. I know that I love the way this shampoo makes my hair feel. Nice and soft and does give it brighter color. Been using it for years. I hate using any other shampoo. You can always order a sample from K and try it before you buy it. by Benjamin E 04/30/12
Question How could I purchase your latest products?
- Answer amino shampoo is gentle for everyday use. i always feel like my hair is fresh and clean. i am an older customer and have been using this shampoo for several years. by geneva h 04/28/12
- Answer You have many options, which will vary depending on where you live. But the best way is right here, online! by Kiehl's A 04/27/12
Question Does this product have sodium laureth sulfate in it?
- Answer No it does not contain sodium laureth sulfate. It is the best shampoo I have ever used in my life. If smells wonderful and my hair feels so clean. I highly recommend this shampoo to everyone. Laura Thomas by laura t 04/09/12

Question I have oily scalp but dry & fine hair. Should I be using this?
- Answer I have similar hair and this shampoo is great for me. by Barry G 04/02/12
- Answer I have a similar description of my hair and scalp -- oily scalp with dry and lots of fine hair. Kiehl's Amino acid Shampoo has been my shampoo of choice for quite some time now. I find that the delicate fragrance and the generous lather makes shampooing a pleasant experience for me. I I don't find it necessary to use the companion conditioner. But I always find my hair easy to manage and receive many compliments for having a health shine. One of my friends also uses the Amino Acid Shampoo and loves it. She has a completely different type of hair than mine. So I would say it works for a wide range of hair textures. by Katherine S 04/02/12
Question I have dry hair, does this dry it out more?
- Answer Works well on dry hair. Only reason I discontinued use is because the product contains methylparaben. Otherwise loved it till I read the the ingredients. by Jennifer P 03/28/12
- Answer Absolutely not! by Janet G 03/27/12
- Answer Absolutely not. It left my hair soft and silky. I did use the conditioner with it. I would buy this product again. by Susan H 03/27/12
I tried it recently and loved.
Leaves my hair feeling soft and clean. Only takes one rinse to get hair clean. Very concentrated and big lather.
excelent!
Received as a gift-tried it and LOVED it!
We use this and love it. This is for travel.
listed as one of the top ten
because i tried it once in a hotel and fell in LOVE. also, anything that smells like coconut is ok with me!
godly shampoo!!!
This shampoo, along with the Amino Acid Conditioner, is a very good product. I change to another sometimes and come right back to this. I have have fine hair and it does not weigh it down, nor does it cause flyaway.
Have used for years and love it.
used at equinox
Nice and gentle shampoo. Smells great. I like the idea of washing my hair in amino acids.
I use this product for a long time. very good product
good
Used at Equinox
I tried it at the hotel I stayed at in NYC, and I loved it!! Now i have to use it at home.
Best shampoo I have tried yet - body, shine
rich non-greasy shampoo with a delicate coconut scent that is gentle but thorough on the hair
This shampoo is really nice and makes my hair soft and silky.
Used it in the 6 Columbus hotel in New York and liked it.
I was using the Dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment, but it was discontinued. It really worked well. This works but not as well.
sounded good, love it
Trying for the first time
Colleague recommendation
It's a order for my sister-in-law
Used this shampoo for many years and probably will forever. Very mild but cleansing to your hair.
I always use this shampoo
I thought it might be a good substitute for the Protein Concentrate Shampoo that you used to sell. This product is inferior.
I have been using drug store shampoo on my fine and color treated hair which was damaging. I have tried samples of this shampoo and loved the gentleness and cleansing qualities.
used before. had great results.
Great everyday shampoo
I've used Kiehl's shampoo before and thought I would try the Amino Acid Shampoo
Love this shampoo, have used for years
I have once have used olive oil one, feels good, then try this one this time.
Love this! have been using it since it came out.
Use it regularly and enjoy
perfect clean
On the one hand, I'd prefer richer suds, but it is non-irritating, with an appealing coconut scent--and it cleans mildly but thoroughly.
looking for a new shampoo that is gentle and moisturizing
Used before and love it.
This shampoo works well for my wavy hair. In fact, it activates my waves and keeps them less frizzy.
Works great
Past performance as well as inviting smell.
I am looking for a shampoo that will help build volume for my frequently colored hair
I really like the way it makes my hair feel and the scent of it.
I've used this before.
A neighbor suggested this product so I bought in your store in Miami. Wonderful product
This is the greatest prodct i have ever used.
I always have 2 shampoos that I alternate, depending on my current needs, but this one is my staple. I've loved this shampoo for 5 years.

Wanted to try something new.
This shampoo has a nice coconut feel and smell, leaves hair shiny and really clean. Used with matching conditioner, my hair really looks great.
HAVE USED IT FOR YEARS
Love this product! Have used this and the conditioner for quite some time.
We are using this shampoo for many years. My husband has sensitive skin and des not like parfumes. Usually we order the 1L bottle. Hope you will have that product soon again.
I tried a sample of this shampoo and had to buy a big bottle of it. It is the best shampoo I have ever used in my life. It smells so nice and makes my hair so clean. I highly recommend this shampoo to everyone.
I received a sample with an order earlier in the year and really loved the scent and shininess/softness of my hair. So I decided to purchase a full bottle. Love it!
I like coconut
The ingredients were a good fit for my needs
Friends' suggestion
Received 2.5 oz size as a gift and really like it
I had used it 5 years ago tried others came back
I used this product and I feel it is good for my hair
Love it's texture and lite coconut smell
Tried a sample that my husband received in a gift box and it really helped control frizz in the humid climate where I reside and just made my hair look and feel healthy.
I love the smell.
I like that this shampoo doesn't lather too much, so I can clean my scalp without drying it out terribly.
Heard a recommendation for it on twitter by Erin Gates
expensive
customer order
I like this shampoo as it has lots of bubbles and it's the only one you offer in 1 liter size. Again the pump always breaks during shipping.
I tried it at a friend's house and liked how it made my hair feel.
Best shampoo I've ever used for my hair and I can't find it in any local stores.
Was given a sample and liked it.
I purchased a small bottle of it and like it.
Best shampoo, leaves my hair feeling and looking great!
