When I tell you this shampoo changed my life
Ok when I tell you this shampoo changed my life it did. We have really hard water at my house and I've noticed that my fine hair has become unbrushable while wet. I've been trying all kinds of products to soften and moisturize my hair, but with no result. Someone suggested to me that it could be a r...

Cleanses well but strips hair
If you've been eyeing the Ouai Detox Shampoo, here's my honest take after receiving complimentary from ouai & putting it to the test. It definitely delivers on that deep clean moment.

Shine bright and glamour hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
gifted by ouai I've been loving this detox shampoo for those days when my hair needs a deep reset. It removes oil, dirt, and product buildup without leaving my hair feeling stripped. The apple cider vinegar helps clarify, while the hydrolyzed keratin leaves my hair feeling stronger, softer, and looking shinier. I also love that it's color safe and the Melrose scent gives my hair a fresh, luxurious finish. Perfect for a weekly deep cleanse! complimentary from ouai
Love smell
Hair Type Straight Hair
complimentary from ouai Gifted by ouai. I usually use clarifying shampoos once a week, and this one has quickly become a favorite. It washes away buildup without leaving my hair feeling rough or tangled. My scalp feels clean and refreshed, while my hair stays soft, bouncy, and easy to style. I also like that it rinses out completely and has a fresh, salon-quality scent that lingers lightly. After using it, my roots have more volume and my hair looks healthier overall. This is a great option if you use styling products or dry shampoo regularly and want a deep cleanse that still feels gentle.

Deep clean
Hair Type Straight Hair
#gifted by ouai This detox shampoo works exactly as it should. It deeply cleanses my scalp, removes excess oil and product buildup, and leaves my hair feeling incredibly fresh. Since it's a detox shampoo, I only use it once a week and then follow with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels so much cleaner and lighter after every wash, and I noticed a difference from the very first use.

Good shampoo
Hair Type Straight Hair
complimentary from ouai , this shampoo so good , my hair so smooth , clean , look like silk , very fresh. Fresh more long time , foam perfect, very good scent and good effect . I really obsessed with this one

- Q
Does this product remove chlorine from pools?
- Asked by Missy
- Official Answer By OUAI - Brand EngageYes! Our Detox Shampoo is formulated with chelating agents that help remove chlorine, along with heavy metals and minerals that can build up from hard water. That makes it a great option for a deep cleanse after swimming. That said, while it can help remove chlorine from pool water, it's primarily designed to deep cleanse away product buildup, so we like to set the expectation that pool chlorine isn't its primary use case. For the best post-swim routine, we recommend following up with a good conditioner to help restore moisture after cleansing.Was this answer helpful to you
