- Q
Is this shampoo good for fine hair?
- Asked by Marta
- Official Answer By Joico - Brand EngageHi Marta! Thank you for your question. The Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo can be used on fine hair. However, if you are looking for volume the Joico JoiFull Volumizing Collection would be a better fit. Or if you are looking for lightweight moisture the Joico HydraSplash Hydrating Collection would be an excellent choice for fine hair. Hope that helps give you some clarity! ✨💕Was this answer helpful to you

Can i use this every day? I have a mix of medium and fine hair, very thick, highlighted maybe 2-3 times per year, and long in length. My hair is pretty healthy. My hair dresser recommended this shampoo for me.

What's the difference between the Defy Damage Protective Shampoo and the Defy Detox Shampoo?
- Asked by B Lit
- Official Answer By Joico - Brand EngageHi B Lit! Thanks for your question. The Joico Defy Damage Detox Shampoo includes a clarifying formula that dives deep to leave hair and scalp feeling clean while being gentle on color, without leaving hair feeling stripped or dry. We recommend the Joico Defy Damage Detox Shampoo to be used twice monthly to keep hair free of product and hard water buildup that can leave it feeling rough and looking dull. The Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo is a gentle daily cleanser that swiftly sloughs away dirt, impurities, and buildup without roughing up the hair cuticle or stripping vibrant color. Hope that helps clarify! ✨💕Was this answer helpful to you

I used to use the color endure. Im disappointed its no longer available. What did you replace it with? I have bleach in my hair and the color endure shampoo and conditioner made my hair so soft. The color safe you have now that I tried did nothing.
- Asked by Kakyev
- Official Answer By Joico - Brand EngageHi Kakyev! Thank you for sharing your concerns. Based on what you have shared we would recommend the Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Color Protecting Collection which has African Mankettti Oil and is meant for damaged hair repair + color protection. Hope this helps clarify! ✨💕Was this answer helpful to you

Defy Damage Shampoo and Conditioner
For starters my hair is shoulder length (slightly longer), thin, and very fine. I am naturally brunette, but I get blonde foils put in. My ends appear dry whereas my scalp can be oily at times. I was lost in a loop of trying different shampoos and conditioners because nothing was making me satisfie...

Everything you do NOT want your hair to be
Absolute worst shampoo I've ever used in my life. Which yes, sounds dramatic. I wanted a slightly cheaper option that my usual favorite Wella Fusionplex shampoo. But this turned my normal, fine hair into the exact opposite of anything anyone would want. Greasy, sticky and completely flat roots immed...

This shampoo became my go to and is something j always keep stocked in my shower. It smells wonderful! You only need to use a small amount and it easily works into a noce rich lather. It leaves my hair feeling soft even before putting conditioner in. Leaves my hair looking and smelling great. It really helps cut the frizz down.
Love it
I switch up shampoos often cause im not sure what works well for my hair. I have been impressed with the way this leaves my hair feeling. I have noticed it is easier to brush through my hair after using and my hair feels less frizzy. Will be going back to this shampoo wheh finished.
Loving so far
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I've only used this shampoo and conditioner for about a week now, but I'm loving it. I like the smell, it reminds me of when you leave a salon. Kinda fancy. It makes my hair feel good. It's soft but not weighed down. Hopefully it helps with breaks!
My favorite shampoo
I absolutely love this shampoo. It smells so good and makes my hair feel so soft compared to some of the other products Ive used. I pair this with the Joico conditioner and I love the way my hair looks througout the day. One of my favorite products
My hair feels soft after the first use, but causes hair lost
Hair Type Straight Hair
I love the smell and how it makes my hair very soft, even after the first use. I noticed less hair in the drain for the first couple of uses, but after using it for a while, my hair started to fall out a lot more and more. I am now using the other shampoo and will start this one again to see if this shampoo is causing hair lost.
