Effective without Drying
Gifted by nutrafol. I have fine hair and have always struggled with shedding—but my hair has thinned out significantly since having two kids.

Great formula but strong smell
This shampoo has a great concept, but the scent really threw me off. It's a bit too strong and lingers longer than I'd like. I wish it had a fresher or more subtle fragrance to match the clean formula. Gifted by Nutrafol

Strong scent that i loved it
I absolutely loved the scent, such a light, fresh citrus scent. It lathers nicely and rinses clean without stripping or drying out my hair. My scalp feels less oily since I started using it. gifted by nutrafol

It has probiotics!
I received this complimentary from Nutrafol and have been using the matching shampoo/conditioner together. I like that it has probiotics as I've never had a shampoo with it before. My hair is normally very oily so I wash every other day and this does make my hair feel clean afterwards. I also experience a lot of hair loss in the shower so I'm hoping this combination can help me as I keep using it.
