Essential Moisture Shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve already noticed my hair feeling cleaner without stripping it. I actually ran my shower comb through without realizing that I hadn’t yet used my conditioner.

Do not buy this!
Hands down the worst shampoo I’ve ever used…. it did not clean my hair at all and left it very stringy. I don’t recommend at all.

I like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it but it’s a relatively thin consistency and I had trouble getting enough in my hair to break through the product and get a good lather going. Maybe I need to use a co wash? I’m not sure. But I feel I have to use a lot every wash. The smell is great and when I do get a good lather it leaves my hair feeling very soft and hydrated.

Tossed it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fine thick wavy hair - this made it feel like straw. There were a couple of Curlsmith products that worked for me in the past but I'm done being seduced by 'new and better'.

Great Shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used the Essential Moisture Shampoo twice. It doesn't provide a ton of lather which I have to get used to but it has decreased my frizz. Shipping is super fast. It smells great to!

Loss of hair
Made me lose strands of hair . I would be wary of buying this product and maybe going with another line of theirs . Smells good though !
