Description

As someone with very sensitive skin and scalp myself, I think it's important to have an option for those of us who need an extra gentle formula and a more subtle fragrance. This sulfate-free shampoo gently and thoroughly cleanses, leaving your hair soft, shiny and perfectly clean.

Lather, rinse, repeat! You know the drill, right!?

How to:
1. Depending on the thickness of your hair, squeeze a dime to quarter-sized amount into your palm.
2. Apply to wet hair, massaging into the scalp to create a rich lather.
3. Rinse clean and repeat if necessary.
Tip: If my hair feels more oily than usual or if I've used a lot of styling products, I like to shampoo twice.

Contains Zip-Up Technology, our proprietary strengthening complex designed to "zip-up" split ends while targeting weak areas of the hair, smoothing the appearance of damaged cuticles and helping to protect hair from environmental stressors and color fade.

I've been dealing with hair loss so I bought this to help with the dryness of my hair, maybe that would prevent the hair loss. it smells great, and you can feel the hair is refreshed after a wash but within 2 days my hair was back to being dry. I used this 2x a week for 7 weeks. saw absolutely no change. the bottles are also so annoying you have to force out the air all the time in order for them to go back to their original shape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying this shampoo so far. It leaves my hair feeling clean and smelling great. It lathers up nicely without you having to use a ton. A small amount goes a long way with this brand. I will definitely recommend to others.

Maple Syrup Smell

3 out of 5 stars
Meganm0217 - 1 month ago
Only used this for about a month. Worked fine, but it made me smell like maple syrup strongly. I thought I had a metabolic issue or allergy so I scheduled a ton of tests that yielded no medical concern. Turns out it was the shampoo. Switched back to Oribe and I smell like me again. Three stars for gaslighting me into thinking I was dying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great shampoo to use regularly. The scent is not too overpowering and it lathers very well. I also like the bottle shape and it's easy to squeeze out just the right amount of shampoo you need. I've noticed it doesn't damage my hair as easily and my hair feels healthier after several uses. Would recommend adding to your routine.

Smells great but also caused major hair loss. I have really think hair and the amount of hair that has been falling out since I started this shampoo is scary, I usually don’t notice changes in my hair since there’s so much of it but this shampoo and conditioner brand was so bad I had huge bundles of hair balls in the shower and in my brush.
