My Experience with Park Avenue Beer Shampoo-

The Park Avenue Beer Hair Cleanser comes in a bottle with a long neck and a not-so-tight flip-open cap. The product is not travel friendly as the  cap does not close tightly. The cap looks exactly like the ones used on the beer bottles :P The overall packaging is amazing and I loved how classy it looks- exactly like a beer bottle resting on my bathroom shelf :P The shampoo is mild yellowish in color- again, the color matches the color of real beer. But the consistency of this shampoo is slightly runny and it spreads easily onto my hair and scalp. This is one of those shampoos that claim to contain real beer. This hair shampoo contains a lot of other chemicals, which might be harmful to the hair in the long run.

I have only one word to describe the fragrance of this shampoo- Disgusting! :P This shampoo smells like bleaching powder and rotten grapes mixed together in a very awkward proportion...I am used to the fragrance now but when I used it for the first time, I felt like shouting- "Yucks!" So, sensitive noses, beware!

This shampoo that contains beer cleanses the hair nicely, lathers really well and removes all oil, dirt and impurities from the hair and scalp in just 2 washes. Afterwards, my hair feels super soft, silky, shiny and happy! :) This shampoo slightly dries out the hair but I use a hair serum or conditioner to combat the slight problem.

PROS-

1) Affordable
2) Packaging looks nice
3) Cleanses the hair and scalp really nicely
4) Removes oil and dirt in 2 washes
5) Makes the hair soft, shiny and silky
6) Nice shelf life
7) Contains real beer
8) Unisex Shampoo
9) Effects of this hair cleanser last for about 2 days
10) My hair looks healthier (Contains silicone and that might be the reason for this "appearance")

CONS-

1) Fragrance (This is the biggest con)
2) Slightly dries out the hair and scalp
3) Contains a lot of chemicals
4) Cap is not so tight, so the product is not travel friendly

Final Verdict- I would recommend all those with normal to oily hair to try this shampoo. This shampoo makes my hair soft, shiny and gives it a healthy look. Although the smell is awfully bad, like strong bleaching powder, it did not harm my hair. But, this might be harmful in the long run as it contains a lot of other chemicals. But anyways, I would repurchase this shampoo. It is affordable, the packaging is beautiful and my hair feels smoother and shinier. Thus, this is a great shampoo, overall!

Rating- 4.5/5
