A Classic that's even better than I remember
Thank you, Influenster and Paul Mitchell, for sending out this complimentary bottle of shampoo for an honest evaluation. I did encounter an issue opening the bottle up. I should have opened it dry. A small disaster ensued. I got the bottle open, then dropped it before being able to put the cap on, ...

The packaging works great. I unfortunately was not a fan of the shampoo. It lathered up nice for me and rinsed well, but did not like the feel of my hair after it dried. Left my hair feel oily.
I loved it

I have a lot of sensitives and have been searching for a decent fragrance-free shampoo for years. Unfortunately, while I was so hopeful about this based on the simple ingredients, this was not a good choice for me. I found it super sticky and coating, ands quite drying. It also made my eyes feel like they were swelling a little. I think Paula's Choice and Bulk Apothecary's Unscented Base (Nature's Oil version) are better options for my hair type, however both have sulfates (which my hair prefers), and may not work for everyone. I have fine hair that is highlighted and a ton of it, but this may be a good choice for other hair types.
Perfect for sensitive scalp — finally found my go-

I've tried so many shampoos over the years, and most either made my scalp itchy or left a weird residue. This one is honestly a lifesaver. It's super gentle, has no fragrance at all (which I love), and it doesn't irritate my skin. After washing, my hair feels really clean and soft, but not dry or stripped. It just feels… healthy. I also really appreciate that it's clear and has no dyes — feels like I'm giving my scalp a break. If you struggle with sensitivity or just want something simple and clean, this is 100% worth trying.
