Traditional shampoos rely on sulfates to create a thick lather, but the flip side is that they can be incredibly harsh and drying especially on color-treated hair that needs the moisture most. This ultra-gentle shampoo is formulated without sulfates to ensure that it removes buildup without stripping color. After all, highlights can cost a pretty penny—we want to make them last!
I have very thick, naturally curly hair. I tried this product thinking it would be great for my colored hair. I think the fact that it is sulfate free and did not have an accompanying conditioner turned me off. It left my hair feeling dull and dry. The smell was nice but I didn't notice any major boosts in my color and my hair was pretty dry after using. Sample size was nice and packaging was good, but the product just wasn't for me.
2I was excited to try this product, as it is sulfate free and smelled only slightly (good!) I don't like hair products with a great amount of odor, since I already have scented lotion, scented deodorant, and other such, that I don't want conflicting with too many scents on my body. I squeezed a small amount onto my fingers, a great consistency and color (gold sparkles that made it seem like a promise of shiny hair) but then when I added a bit of water and started rubbing it into my hands and hair, there was no soapiness! It was strange. No lathery bubbles or expansion like most shampoos do. I felt as though I was just rubbing water into my scalp. I kept scrubbing it into my hair but there was no bubbles or anything like that! I have to try it out a few more times to test its color-stay claim (I have color-treated hair that I JUST did!) but overall I was just a little unpleasantly surprised.
