Regarding the color, I didn't notice any difference. The oiliness decreased a bit, but my dry skin remained the same. It smells fantastic and leaves a crazy feeling of freshness on the scalp. Definitely, you should use conditioner afterwards because it leaves the ends very dry. I think it's not worth the money (22 euros with shipping). If it was around 10-11 euros, then maybe I would buy it again just for the scent and freshness.
