Reviews Summary
Customers say this shampoo thoroughly cleanses without drying out their hair. Many reviews mention how effectively it removes product buildup while leaving hair soft and manageable. Users particularly appreciate that it produces rich lather and only requires a small amount per wash. Common feedback includes that hair feels clean and refreshed after use, with results lasting several days.

    Hair Build Up No More!

    I moved to Colorado a year ago and live on well water now. I have never dealt with all this mineral build up before and have had trouble finding a shampoo to strip the build up off my hair. My hair has become incredibly dull looking in the last year. After just one wash, I could tell a significant difference in the way my hair looked and felt. I’m currently using it once a week to keep the build up under control. Highly recommend to use if you are having the same issue as me!
