SheaMoistureStrengthen and Restore Shampoo 100% Pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil for Damaged Hair To Cleanse and Nourish Hair 13 oz

Best shampoo!

I purchased this shampoo on a whim. I am very glad that I did. I am a Black woman, and only used certain shampoos. I was pressed for time and really needed something quickly. After a quick search, I found this. I keep my hair cut very short. This shampoo is not oily. I like how it leaves my hair feeling very clean. The scent isn't over powering. I have Eczema and this shampoo doesn't cause any problems for my skin. It doesn't dry me out. A little goes a long way. I put this in my suitcase after opening it, and I didn't have any issues with spillage. I also brought this with my when I moved, still no spillage issues. When I run out, I will purchase this again.

This stuff has worked wonders for my hair. I've been using it for a little over a year and my hair (dark, straight, very dense,) is long, silky, buoyant and full of volume. I used to struggle with dryness and breakage, but this combined with better hair care and protective practices have turned that around for me. It also takes four or five days before my hair starts looking greasy after I wash, compared to one or two for most big name products.My hair care practices:- Shampoo just the roots, take extra time and product to get into the roots- Rinse- Heap conditioner all throughout roots and hair- Leave on for a few minutes or rinse, then follow up with a hair mask I can rinse off later- Use a boar's hair brush once or twice a day, working from the roots down- Detangle with fingers only, being careful not to yank hair- Sleeping with smoother pillowcases (I use bamboo viscose)- Sleeping with hair in a ponytail, bun or braid- No hot air or heat irons- Pat dry with a towel, gently twist up or wear down until dry (sometimes I put it up before it dries, but I probably shouldn't)- When I put my hair up, I use a large claw or a satin ponytail holder, sometimes bobby pins- I have a few blonde streaks that do seem to break a bit more easily, but they almost match the healthiness of the untreated hair - a far cry from how frazzled the blonde would get in previous periods of my life.I'm still having issues with scalp flakiness and itchiness if I don't wash my hair for a few days, but this has been an awesome transformation for me so far.The ingredients are all neutral to super healthy for you. There were only a couple I had questions about:- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol. Couldn't find a lot of information about this one, but no indication so far it causes any problems.- Fragrance: This is a catch-all label for lots of ingredients that carry a smell, which means we don't have any information about if the stuff in this scent might be potentially harmful.Overall, I'm not a big fan of including fragrance just to add smell - if it smells nice on its own, that's a different conversation, but it sometimes does harm to include it. Other than that, I'm really happy with and trust what's going on my hair from this product.

It smells like molasses and a little tar, but if you can get past the smell, it doesn't last or linger. I have noticed a steep decline in hair loss, and my very frizzy, bushy, uncontrollable hair is suddenly straight and soft. I can't believe it. I still straighten in, but it stays straight for days. I don't have to restraighten later in the day like I did before.4 1/2 stars. Can't do 5 because of the smell.

One of the best shampoos I have used. You just need a little in your palm and it suds like crazy and leaves my hair feeling moist.

I love it. One of the shampoos that removes dirt without damaging your hair. It smells great, like all of that brand's products. If you like sweet scents, you'll like it. Y

I'm on my second bottle of this shampoo and use it along with the conditioner every other day. I have long thick hair and since I've switched to this brand it has definitely felt softer and healthier. My sister who visited borrowed my shampoo and now switched over as well. I will say that unlike other brands, I have mad tangles after washing. That could partly be due to the length of my hair but I'm also guessing the absence of harmful chemicals means more tangles, so if that's the case it's a worthwhile trade for me!

The shampoo works great. I love it.
