Review (5/5): Protects my RED hair. Stopped the color stripping from my old shampoo.
This stuff is wonderful. I am in a place in my life that I am removing ALL chemicals from our household. There are so many bad things for you in Makeup and Hair products - endocrine disrupters and such. I had done everything from Baking soda and ACV - and I was trying my hardest to get to a water wash only place in my hair care. However, I have been having to combat the fact that a year and a half ago I decided to perm my hair. It was AWEFUL. 2 months later, I bought a home perm and combed it through my hair to reverse the fried frizziness. Needless to say, my hair hasn't been the same since. It grows slowly, so I have major issues with split ends (sometimes a strand is split in 5 places and when I brush my dry hair, I have tiny pieces breaking off everywhere.) I also have VERY fine hair so using anything reparative makes it flat and heavy - and who wants that?! Anyway, I was doing ok with a Dr. Bronners soap (which I really loved) but I recently colored my hair red and the Bronners was stripping the color. After reading a ton of reviews on this product, I bought it and LOVE it.
I was hoping that I wouldnt have to use a conditioner, but if you dont, then you HAVE to wait till your hair is dry to brush it as to not damage it while wet. But I can tell you that THIS Argan Oil shampoo keeps my color fresh AND smooths the shaft to make it soft without weighing it down. I have yet to find something to repair my split ends - but I have only used this 3x now - so we'll see.
