- Q
Hello what is the differance between Ouidad Waterworks and their Super fruit Renewal shampoo?
- Asked by Bluelight Star
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertThe main difference between Superfruit and Water Works is that Superfruit is sulfate free and tends to be gentler on the hair. While both are effective in cleansing you may need deeper cleansing which is often why our stylists then turn to Water Works. Superfruit is cleansing but it uses a different technology: fruit acids to remove the buildup. Water Works uses traditional chelating agents like EDTA which are more effective for extreme buildup of product, minerals and metalsWas this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is this product silicone free?
- Asked by Beautychic
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHello! This product is not silicone free. A silicone such as dimethicone is best used in small doses .Dimethicone is safe because the molecules are too large to physically enter your body beyond the upper living cells. Silicones such as dimethicone create a barrier between your hair and the elements; so in a way strands are protected from frizz, humidity and precipitation. When products containing silicones are used with moderation, your curls are not at risk!Was this answer helpful to you

Fantastic!
I've never had problems with my scalp before I moved to an area with hard water - after trying different types of vinegar rinses and even rinsing my hair with bottled water - this product is a life (& time) saver! After two uses my scalp and hair feel better than ever! Highly recommend - if a water ...

Too much cleaning for my hair
I really wanted this product to work since I have used other clarifying shampoos that were not all that special. I have fine, wavy hair that I wear in a short layered style and wanted a shampoo that gets rid of the hard water and styling aid deposits and gave my hair back its bounce. This shampoo ...

Help me get youth swimmer's aware of your product

This coming in a larger size would be better. I am a swimmer and coach to youth swimmer's with curly hair, and if there were discounting available at the largest size I would be able to share this great product with athletes who are not familiar with your products
This Clarifying Shampoo is great.

This Clarifying Shampoo is great. I use it once a week to help remove product build up. It leaves my hair feeling clean and moisturized!
Did Not Work Well for my hair
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Verified Buyer
This shampoo did not work well for my hair. It's hard to explain, but this shampoo left my hair feeling at the same time stripped/dry and like it left a residue. It didn't lather very well. I ended up returning it after one use.
Hair feels nice but it's wrecking my color
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I really want to love this product because it leaves my hair feelings soft like it used to when I lived in an area with soft water, but even after one wash I noticed a change in the color (googling, it seems it's the sulphate to blame). Bummer!
Hair saver
Ever since I moved to Dallas three weeks ago, my hair has yet to feel clean. I bought this, used it once, and my hair has never felt cleaner! A must buy for sure.
