Most Helpful Positive Review Pay no mind Pay no mind to the 1 star review. I don't use very many products other than dry shampoo, and even that, I use once in a while. I do, however, have really really oily hair. And counterintuitive for most people, but when you have really oily hair where you shower at night and the next morning it looks like you didn't shower in a week, you wash your hair less. The more you wash it, the oilier it gets. SO needless to say, I don't wash my hair often. Normally when I wash and condition my hair, I look like Mufasa. Frizz Alert! I used this shampoo for the first time today and used my regular hydrating conditioner (Aquage detangler). ZERO frizz! The scent isn't overwhelming at all. It smells like their signature Melrose but toned down. I absolutely love this. my hair isn't dry at all, but it feels clean and luxurious! I'm now going to try their Thick hair conditioner too!
Most Helpful Critical Review Good but not great. This is a good product but it's not great. I had way higher expectations based off of other consumer reviews and I was definitely let down. I'm well aware that different people have different hair care needs and hair care isn't a one size fits all. I have very fine, wavy hair with an incredibly oily scalp. I use a lot of dry shampoo so I have a lot of product build up. This shampoo didn't seem to "detox" quite like I read it did. Ouai's fine hair shampoo did a much better job at cleaning my hair residue than the detox shampoo did. It smelt nice and I'll keep it as an extra shampoo for my guests when they visit.

I use this once a month that's it. And my hair feels so good after, everytime I use it I immediately get compliments on how shiny my hair looks. I love this stuff swear by it!
Hard water savior 5
MJ from Ohio
I live in an apartment in an area that has extremely hard water. I have a shower head filter and it still really doesn't help at all. I have tried so many shampoos to help with the hard water waxy build up on my hair and nothing seemed to help UNTIL I got this product. My hair feels so clean for the first time in months and has no waxy hard water build up on it. Only downside is my hair is kinda dry and still a bit frizzy but no where CLOSE to the dryness and frizz I got from other chelating shampoos.
LOVE this shampoo!!! 5
haley from Florence, KY
I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. This is perfect for getting rid of dry shampoo and styling product buildup. It does feel a bit drying so I follow up with Its a 10 conditioning mask or leave in spray and I'm good to go for 2-3 days. (For reference I usually have oily hair after a day, have dark roots, and I use Kristen Ess dry shampoo.)
It was ok, not worth the price 3

Cleans hair and scalp well but nothing special. I'm sure there are less pricey shampoos out there that do the same.
What I've been searching for! 5
Alee from Arizona
My hair is thick and slightly wavy. I never had a problem with oily hair until now being 23. My scalp was itchy, I had dry flakes, and my hair looked waxy right after a shower. With one use, my hair went back to its normal state and better! No grease! I can feel the air though my hair! However, this is only day 1 and my itch hasn't completely gone away. I'm hoping it will after more use.
CLEAN HAIR!!! 5
Lily from Rgv
I wash my hair 2x a week and tend to use keratin leave in products, thermal protectant products, as well as dry shampoo. It tends to all build up and when it's time to wash my hair it shows and this really just does a good job of cleaning and stripping the dirt and build up in my hair! It's a bit dry but I use leave in product right after and my scalp feels clean and fresh right after. Definitely repurchasing!
AHmazing! 5
HJA from OK
This is the second Ouai product I have purchased, used and loved. I needed a shampoo that really cleaned. I wash my hair once a week. My hair looks fine but I have a lot of it and can be thick at times. I have never felt my hair so clean until I used this product. I was amazed. Even throughout the week my hair still feels fresh and clean. I used this product with their leave in conditioner spray. Loving this product line!
Amazing! 5
Andrea from Arlington, VA
I absolutely love this shampoo! I have long, fine hair that tangles very easily. I also have psoriasis on my scalp that often leaves it itchy, scaly, and flakey. After using this shampoo for almost a month, my hair and scalp feel amazing! My scalp hasn't been itchy in weeks. My hair is shiny and has so much volume! This works wonders to counteract my hard water, too. I love the scent. It's fresh and slightly fruity to me.
I wash every other day and use it with the Ouai fine hair conditioner on mid-length and ends. I use a different brand tea tree and peppermint conditioner on my scalp.
Will definitely buy again!

Scalp feels amazing! 5
Brianna from California
This detox shampoo is amazing! After one use, my scalp residue and dandruff were gone! A plus is that it smells heavenly and the scent lasts throughout the day. The only thing is that it can be drying so I would suggest using a deep conditioning mask afterwards. I would highly recommend this to someone who suffers from dandruff and/or scalp build up
My hair feels so clean! 5
whit from Texas
I had been looking for a detox/clarifying shampoo and was having a hard time finding one. I use product and a lot of dry shampoo. But my scalp would get itchy and I felt I need something to get rid of the build up. Fast forward to purchasing this, my hair felt so clean and soft! I use this once a week if I'm styling my hair a lot but try to use ever 2 weeks just so that shampoo will last. Looking forward to trying more of Ouai products.

I just received this shampoo about a week ago and I am already OBSESSED. My hair tends to get oily/dirty quickly and I feel that the texture is a bit damaged because it has been bleached multiple times. I've tried multiple shampoos to help both problems but this is the best one I've come across. I feel my hair cleaner, healthier, and smelling so nice even 2 days after shampooing. Can't say enough great things about this shampoo! A new holy grail.
Bye bye oily hair 5
Eg18 from San Juan
This shampoo is AMAZING! Honestly, like no other! I have try a lot of oily hair shampoo of every brand under the sun and nothing has worked for me, until now! I'm a PharmD student and I love doing daily exercise so basically I have zero time to invest in my hair and I used to wash it every other day. But with the Detox Shampoo I only wash my hair 2 times a week instead of 3 - 4 times. It has helped a lot with my frizz (and I live in Puerto Rico - super humid island) and to minimize the oil production. I can even style it and it looks fresh after 3 days, before for me that was impossible because the oiliness wouldn't let me. For me, it's a life saver!
Amazing 5
Carri from California
I use A LOT of dry shampoo and after some time, it seems to build up and pull my hair down. This completely washes it out. I color my hair so I only use this shampoo when I need to... otherwise, I just use my regular shampoo. It does have a stronger scent, but I like it.

Val from Concord
I used this in conjunction with the scalp and body scrub and it was amazing! All the buildup of product in my hair was washed away with this amazing shampoo. My hair felt lighter and amazingly soft after it dried. This will be a staple in my hair products!

If you want something the will literally DETOX your scalp and hair get this shampoo. I'm very happy with it. A little goes a long way! Don't use too much. The smell is amazing! Just make sure you use a thick conditioner after!

Rose from Hair higher than the lord TX
I want to love this brand but....1. There is a thing called too much fragrance. 2. Def not for colored hair and not sulfate free 3. Back up to 1. It smells good but strips hair of all oil (which can't be healthy) and strips color and don't be fooled by the word detox My hair came out brittle after a week
