Price:Rs. 246 for 60 gm
Rs. 492 for 120 gm
Rs. 2050 for 500 gm

Availability: You can buy it here

Packaging: The shampoo came in a usual plastic bottle. The transparent bottle shows the content from outside. There is a screw cap on the bottle neck. I found the bottle little uncomfortable to use when trying to pour out the shampoo, because you tend to take out much more than required quantity. The packaging also gives no detail of the ingredients.Though I expect the full-sized packaging would be considering these issues.
My experience: 
The shampoo is in nice pinkish color with brown tint in it. The shampoo is not as thick as usual shampoos sold in the market. Its neither of very runny consistency, so I found it quite the proper liquidity to smear and rub on hair as well as scalp. I could actually relate the color and consistency of Drunken Locks to the freshly made Guava juice in a bottle ;)

The fragrance is absolutely uplifting. I liked how refreshing and herbal feel it gives as you smell it. The fragrance actually remains locked in your tresses even after hours of head bath and makes you feel good.
The shampoo produced no lather on my hair as I massaged it on my wet hair. In course of taking out the dirt, grime and oil from my hair, I ended up using almost one third quantity of the shampoo from the bottle. Sadly, it could not perform to my expectations in terms of cleaning the scalp and hair. The strands felt not completely cleansed. Though I believe the mildness of the shampoo due to the less usage of surfactant will be suitable to sensitive skinned people.

My family members also gave it a try to check if it suits the texture of their hair. I generated very mild lather on very-short hair of my son n hubby that works towards gentle cleansing of the hair.  
Overall, I am not very happy with the product on my hair, but can recommend for short hair. The shampoo has no harmful constituents that would cause itching or irritation of scalp. It is little ineffective to cleanse the hair, but doesn't strip hair of it's natural oils.

Pros:
No chemicals
Not animal tested.
Suitable for all hair types.
Smells lovely.
Can be used on daily basis.
Causes no itching.

Cons:
Very mild lather.
Quite expensive.
Need a lot of quantity for long hair.

  3. A big "NO" for this product Drunken Locks Shampoo from Sand for Soapaholics To begin with the first pic of yours of this bottle only put me off. As the shampoo looked too liquidly & looked like dirty water to me. Though you have mentioned the consistency was O.K. But then the shampoo itself not working up to the mark is no good for me. Because I take a head bath only after oiling my hair & I don't think this will work at all on my oiled hair. Plus it is too expensive for that kind of quantity & that kind of job which a shampoo is suppose to do. So thanks a lot for sharing this review. Just when you think that the brand is super cool but not all the products if the brand.

    I was very impressed with the conditioner review from the same brand but this shampoo disappointed me :(
    I hate shampoo that doesn't lather well, I won't have a satisfying hair wast if the shampoo doesn't produce rich lather and that too I have a long hair that is below my waist :O
    So this shampoo is a big NO to me!
    & it is expensive too :/ :/
    Anyways I still like it's name drunken locks sounds too good :)
    Thanks for the genuine reviews with clear pictures :)
