Great product!
This has completely transformed my hair care routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's rare to find hair products that deliver such fantastic results without breaking the bank. From the very first use, I could feel the difference. The shampoo lathered beautifully, gently cleansing my...

Caused Hair/Scalp Problems
I wanted to love this brand and especially this product, but I can't. Everything was fine until about 2 weeks in to using the shampoo and conditioner. My scalp first started getting dry and itchy, which has never been a problem for me. About 3 weeks in, excessive amounts of hair started coming out w...

perfect for my needs
I have very fine hair and alooooot of hair! But my hair doesn't really get greasy... so I have a hard time finding shampoos that work for me, as most just suck the life out of my hair and scalp... THIS is PERFECT for my needs and for my texture and type of hair! If you have thick strands and alot of hair or get very greasy I could see this not being a good fit for you. But if you have fine strands and alot of hair and don't get greasy easily this helped me out!!!
happy scalp!
I have to wash my hair every day cause my job is grosssss. My fave shampoo got discontinued, then tried another fave and that got discontinued! So I've been searching for another that fits with my needs, but no luck. I finally bought this after debating and I love it! Its very gentle, my hair is finally soft again, my ends aren't screaming at me anymore, my scalp isn't tight and dry anymore! I'm so happy I found this shampoo!❤️
Overwhelming, bad perfume smell
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I bought this after I'd seen the brand recommended by multiple people. When I initially opened it to smell it, I thought it had a fresh coconut scent... But once I actually applied it to my hair, the smell was so awful and overpowering. I have no idea how well it works, because I can't stand the smell and will be returning it or giving it away.
Maybe a bit too gentle
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I was hoping this would be the solution to my recent sensitive scalp issues. After repeated breakouts and allergic reactions to other drugstore shampoos, I picked up this "gentle" shampoo. Unfortunately, it might be a bit too gentle because after several uses, my hair just didn't feel clean. After rinsing and repeating, this still left my hair feeling dirty and greasy. I've since purchased the SEEN fragrance free shampoo and that has been great. Might try the Kristin Ess fragrance free daily shampoo next for a more budget-friendly option.
Love the product!
Hair Type Straight Hair
I love the feeling of clean, soft nurished hair.
