[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shampoo and use it in combination with the core strength shampoo. Leaves my hair smelling great and manageable even when I don’t do my full curl routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way it makes my hair feel soft but I not confident on how well it cleans. I'm a new user - one week, 3 washes - so it takes some time to get used to products.
Very moisturising

I love the matching conditioner so thought I'd try the shampoo too. At first it was hard to use - it didn't lather much so it was hard to know when I had rinsed it all out, meaning that the first few tries I was left with a lot of residue and my hair looked dirty still. So making sure it's all washed out can be tricky, but it's really moisturising and brings out my waves - so overall happy with the product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy this for my Granddaughter who has extremely thick and curly hair. These products are the bomb in keeping her hair in tip top shape. I have bought other curl related products for her and this one has been the best!

For me this product worked very well. It do a light clean, that in my case is ideal because I have to washed the hair frequently, so it is not agressive for my hair and scalp. The smells is light, fresh and pleasent. I believe a deep cleanen shampoo is required to complement this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The combo works well in my routine, adding necessary moisture and crucially, not the cleanser not leaving my hair feeling like straw! It doesn't weigh my hair down either, which I was a little concerned about - I need not have worried, it's lovely.
Love it

I think this is what my curly grey hair needed. I've had a rough time finding a good shampoo,conditioner & overall products that would help it out, this works well
Good shampoo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shampoo. I use it with the conditioner on my long wavy hair. It foams up well, you don't need much, and rinses out easily. I'm sure since I've been using it I've had less hair loss.
Not enough foam

I love the cream of the orange line and was so exited to buy the dmshampoo anf conditioner. I was so happy when it arrived, but the first hair wash was very dissapointed for me. Yes my hair looks very good, but there isn't really foam on my scalp. I need to take so much shampoo to really clean the scalp. For me it's to expensive to use so much shampoo to just clean my hair. I will use it till the end and then search for a new one.
Dries out thin hair

I was surprised at how much this product dried my hair out. I have fine thin hair and worked very hard to keep it healthy. Within a week of use I noticed my hair's shine was gone and it looked over processed. I'm surprised that this product is even on the market for "all hair types". It made me question what testing Ulta does befire they allow these products in their stores.
A phenomenal shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo genuinely cleanses the hair without drying it out, and I'm so thankful!! I can do clarifying washes less often by double cleansing with this and actually get my hair and scalp clean without drying out my ends.
Love it!

It really does what it says in the bottle! My hair always feel clean afterwards, and my hair has liked this, along with the Essential Moisture conditioner, so much that I haven’t had to use a leave in for weeks! My hair is so moisturized and fresh, I think this will be a new staple for Spring, Autumn and Winter weather, when it can be unpredictable for my curls. Great product!
Excellent cleanser. A little goes
