Promising Reviews:
“I like this shampoo a lot. In the winter, my scalp gets dry (it’s v dry in my house) and my hair is thick, curly/wavy so I wash it 1-2x/week. This shampoo really cleanses my hair, getting rid of all the build up on my scalp and leaves it feeling really clean. It’s recommended to use every 2 weeks, so I try to stick to that. I can’t speak for those with thinner hair, however by the time I wash mine (like 5 days apart) it is at a pretty oily stage and it works well.” --Angstamm
“Absolutely love this shampoo! I have never used a clarifying shampoo but I've tried Moroccan Oil. This has the same amazing scent but what it did to my hair is beyond what words can describe. I was ready to chop it all off but after using this, I realized I had so much buildup and this took it off, making it soft and bouncy. I am very impressed and will definitely buy again!” --Hauterealtor
