If you haven’t checked out my first review on Lador’s ACV vinegar haircare line, make sure to check that one out too after this one.ย Lador has been quite well known in the K-beauty space for its keratin treatment as well as its shampoo and conditioners.ย This was when I first got into the K-beauty space, 8 years ago now I think? Oh man, time passes really fast.ย
Since then, they have come out with many more products to choose from, so much so, that I almost couldn’t pick which one would be the right one for my hair.ย After reading through what they offered, I ended up with this wonder bubble shampoo since it was one of the more hydrating ones.ย Hopefully, this works with my dry and frizzy hair!ย Let’s get into the review~

Product packaging:
Compared to the ACV line which I bought the smaller size, this 600 mL bottle seems HUGE!ย And it really is, I mean it is almost 1 liter if you round it up haha.ย If you wash your hair on average twice a week, I think this bottle will last you maybe half a year?ย But that also depends on how long your hair is.
Texture/ Finish:
Just like how it is described, this shampoo comes in a white pear gel type of shampoo that forms tiny bubbles.ย I was pleased with the whole process of lathering it through my hair.ย It washed off, leaving my hair soft and supple at first.ย It didn’t weigh my hair down much on the first day and my scalp was moisturized.
However, my hair felt heavy on the second day and the strains of my hair definitely felt weighed down.ย I already had the need to wash my hair on the second day.ย If I waited for day three, I would have looked like a wet dog.ย My scalp was also feeling oily sadly.ย I’m wondering if this shampoo should have been paired with someone that has colored and bleached hair since it is so intense in hydration.ย If you really need moisture, this would definitely be a pick for you.ย For someone with virgin hair who only abuses her hair twice a week with heated tools, this is not for you.
Fragrance?:
This shampoo has a very floral scent and does linger after washing off.ย Smell-o-scale: 7/10 in terms of how strong the scent is.
Pro:
-leaves my hair soft
-hydrating
Con:
-heavy for my uncolored hair
-have to wash my hair in two days
Repurchase?:
Not for me.

Overall thoughts:
I really wanted to love this shampoo, but it is definitely too hydrating for me.ย From the description, it sounded like the perfect pick for me.ย If you are looking into Lador shampoos and need something to treat your colored hair, this one will work well for you.ย Otherwise, virgin hair like mine will get super heavy on the second day.ย Overall, this isn’t a bad shampoo, but it is definitely not my go-to.ย I will be passing this on to my friend who colors his hair a lot and we’ll see how that goes for him!
