This is a good everyday shampoo. I can't say how much moisture there is since I already have a greasy scalp but my hair still feels clean and soft afterwards. This shampoo has no silicones and the new...Read more

Meh. This is not a horrible product. It does the job, my hair does feel clean after using it. I don't think it does anything to moisturize my dry hair as it promises but I haven't really expected it f...Read more

I bought this (stupidly) assuming it was sulfate free since the accompanying conditioner is silicone free, and in my head it makes sense that those two things go hand in hand. It's not sulfate free, b...Read more

I love this shampoo, the smell is slightly banana, not too strong, but a delicious scent. I color my hair, and this shampoo does not strip the color, but makes my hair manageable. I have thick coarse ...Read more

This product works fine with my dry hair and I loved it when I just bought it. After a month of using it (more or less) I got really tired of the smell.

This shampoo is too drying. I bought it by accident as it looks the same as the conditioner (which I adore). It makes the hair so dry and frizzy. That in the end, I use it for weekly deep cleanse as ...Read more

bought this in one of their sales. if i had given more money to this shampoo i'd feel sad, did nothing more than an average shampoo. smell is nice but it does not last long on your hair.
