Review (5/5): Not as scalp irritating nor drying as other brands.
I have really really thick hair. It's down to my shoulders on the sides and back and layered upwards. The top layers are about 5" long. My hair is wavy and unruly. It takes a good 45 minutes to 1 hour to even attempt to straighten or style it. My hair would feel brittle and rough. Within an hour or so, it would kink back up. Not to mention, it would take almost 2 tablespoons of shampoo to get it to feel clean.
Then I tried this shampoo. It took 2 small squeezes. I noticed quite a g [d lather and bubbles, but no where near as many as name brands you buy in stores. I always leave shampoo in for a few minutes, as recommended by a beautician. I towel and air dry 99% of the time. My hair did not feel as rough, brittle, or unruly as normal. It felt lighter, almost like it brought out more natural curl and bounce. I did not use conditioner several times after using this. It didn't feel that my hair needed it. It did not seem to take as long to straighten, either. I did not notice too much of a scent to this shampoo, but it had some scent. I honestly can't tell you the exact scent.
I love it that water is the first ingredient and alcohol doesn't appear in til the 8th ingredient listed. I'm very cautious with anything containing alcohol within the first 4 ingredients. It drys my hair and scalp out to where I'm constantly itching and get really bad dandruff. My scalp has not has near the itching and has had less flaking.
