Q: Is this good for maintaining color on color treated hair? Thanks
submitted by GeekGoddess - 2 years ago
A: Yes, it works fine for color treated hair and is safe to use as it doesn't strip the color or dry out your hair.
submitted byTerri - 2 years ago
A: Hello!
The product is safe for color treated hair. Although, I would include that we do have our Rose Gold Keratin Infusion Color Care that is targeted specifically for Color Treated hair.

Q: Does this shampoo regrow hair for older women?
submitted by Angela - 2 years ago
A: No, this is just a very nice refreshing shampoo for everyday use and it doesn't make your hair feel dry or stripped out.
submitted byTerri - 2 years ago
A: Hi Angela! This is a hydrating shampoo for dry hair that delivers a deep clean by removing product build up and residue from your hair without drying it out. Hair feels refreshed and revitalized without feeling stripped of its existing, natural moisture. It is intended as a cleanser not for hair growth.

Q: Can I also use the shampoo as a body wash? I'm looking for an all-in-one for women
submitted by Gammagamma - 2 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! Suave Refreshing Shampoo Ocean Breeze is specifically formulated to cleanse and refresh your hair and scalp. While some people may choose to use shampoo as a body cleanser, this product has not been specifically formulated or tested for use as a body wash. For the best experience, we recommend using it as directed for hair care. You may be interested in our Suave Men 3-in-1 Hair, Body & Face Wash or Suave Kids 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash. Both provide convenient all-in-one cleansing. We appreciate your interest in Suave!

Q: I do use this Suave at least twice a week. Will it remove the dimethicone/dimethiconol from my hair that I found out my other shampoo has in it and I dont want that to build up?
submitted by Sheba - 2 years ago
A: Hello!
Thank you for reaching out! Based on the formulation, this shampoo should help remove any buildup from silicones.

So I’ve used every single shampoo out there and let me tell you that sometimes the inexpensive ones are much better. This shampoo really got rid of my dry scalp and the scent is not too over empowering. I love it so much. A little goes a long way so you don’t need to use too much. Also compared to some other brands in the same price range like V05 this has half the chemicals while still having the essentials. Keep up the good work Sauve!

bad ingredients
This shampoo contains benzyl salicylate, which is associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia. Why would anyone put this in a shampoo? Totally unnecessary. Also, all these Suave shampoos have been reformulated since the brand was sold. If you compare the labels and look at ingredients on the older bottles, the older bottles contained much more of the "active" ingredients. On all of the newer ones, the good ingredients they advertise (sea algae extract, etc) appear near the very bottom of the list, like they exist just as an afterthought.

Good for Clarifying Low Porosity
I switched my clarifying shampoo to this one to save some money. I compared it with the Suave Clarifying Shampoo, and decided to go with this one since it has all of the ingredients of the other one, just some moisturizers added in, which is great for my thick, low porosity, 2A/2B hair. I have used this with the Pantene Ultra Restorative shampoo and the Miracle balm conditioner; fantastic results. I have also used it with only the Dove Bond Repair serum mask and it gave me the best blowout! Very light hydration, no stripping like the Pantene Volume shampoo. And the scent is amazing! I’m considering getting the conditioner as well.

A budget-friendly shampoo with a refreshing ocean
Suave Essentials Ocean Breeze Shampoo is an affordable option that delivers great value for money without sacrificing quality. The lather is rich and satisfying, making hair feel clean and refreshed after every wash. Its scent is fresh and uplifting, reminding me of a crisp ocean breeze, and it lingers lightly in the hair without being overpowering. The effectiveness is impressive for a budget shampoo—it removes buildup and leaves hair soft and manageable. The packaging is simple and sturdy, easy to use in the shower, and it dispenses just the right amount of product. Overall, it’s a reliable shampoo that balances value, effectiveness, lather, scent, and packaging perfectly.

Suave Essentials
Suave shampoo does leave a really good clean for the price. It definitely suds up and Suave scents always smell so good. The only thing is it's kind of hard on the hair. But for the price well worth it!
