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.

Good
been really liking this shampoo! My hair can get oily and have buildup pretty easily, and this helps make it feel clean without making it feel super dry. After I use it, my hair feels lighter and fresher, like all the buildup is actually gone. I usually use it when my hair feels extra greasy or when I've been using a lot of styling products. I don't use it every wash, but it's definitely my go-to when my hair needs a good reset. I also love how fresh it smells! complimentary from ouai
Recommend!
This was gifted by ouai & I'm obsessed! So excited to add this to my routine. It lathers super well and has a light scent. I love using this once a week to help melt away any product or built up oil since I have such oily hair. Definitely recommend anyone give this a try if you want to upgrade your haircare routine!
Great Detox Shampoo!!
OUAI Detox Shampoo has been a great addition to my routine! It gives my hair a deep clean, removes product buildup, and leaves my scalp feeling refreshed. My hair feels lighter and clean after. Will definitely be using again for my hair care routine! gifted by ouai
The perfect hair reset!
Gifted by Ouai! I've really been enjoying this detoxifying shampoo! My hair can get oily and weighed down from product buildup, especially when I use styling products regularly, so I wanted something that would give my scalp and hair a deeper cleanse without making my hair feel dry or overly stripped. I've started using this as my reset shampoo whenever my hair needs a little extra attention. I don't necessarily use it every wash, but it's perfect for those days when my hair feels like it needs a fresh start. It works really well with the rest of my hair-care routine and leaves my hair feeling noticeably cleaner, lighter, and refreshed. One of my favorite things about it is how much more manageable my hair feels afterward. It doesn't have that heavy, coated feeling from buildup, and my hair feels like it can actually breathe again. I also love the added freshness and the way my hair looks after washing. If you struggle with excess oil, buildup, or hair that feels dull and heavy, this is definitely worth adding to your routine! Before and after attached below!
great value
i really like the packaging of this shampoo, aesthetically it stands out to me for whatever reason. this stuff made my hair mega clean and soft, i highly recommend this stuff! complimentary from ouai.

- 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
