Review (5/5): CGM friendly, minty scent
Let me start by saying that the pump came broken, which is unfortunate. However, I was still very excited to try this shampoo because of the great ingredients.
I have been following the Curly Girl Method (CGM) for more than 2 years and I have seen great results with my hair. So I am very strict when choosing hair care products avoiding parabens, sulfates, drying alcohol, non-water soluble waxes. This shampoo does not have any of those 'bad ingredients' and love seeing Aloe Vera is the very first ingredient since it is a great ingredient in general.
It does clean the scalp nicely, leaving a minty sensation. It is important to call out that since it does not have sulfates (which is the most common ingredient in regular shampoo to clean the scalp but can be harsh), you will need to scrub your scalp a bit more with your fingers tips (this is the same with any sulfate free shampoo).
Overall rating due to broken pump: 4.5 rounding up to 5
