Reviews
Great product
"Washes hair gently, great shampoo"
Makes roots more curly and
"Makes roots more curly and clarifies roots. Moistures the roots and brings life to them."
Unfortunately not for me
"I've tried it three times now and my hair doesn't feel clean. Unfortunately it looks greasy even after two shampooings at a time and my curl definition is out of the window. I'm very disappointed 😞"
I like it.
"I like it but it’s a relatively thin consistency and I had trouble getting enough in my hair to break through the product and get a good lather going. Maybe I need to use a co wash? I’m not sure. But I feel I have to use a lot every wash. The smell is great and when I do get a good lather it leaves my hair feeling very soft and hydrated."
Curlsmith
"I love my products from curlsmith. Does a great job on my hair."
Wavy Hair
"Works great on wavy hair. Doesn't strip oils and leaves hair less frizzy."
Essential Moisture Shampoo
"I have only used a few times but I have noticed that my hair is more moisturized and feels softer and less dry."
Love the cleanliness and smell
"I love how it foams up perfectly and it smells like a salon. It leaves my hair soft and clean."
Tossed it
"Fine thick wavy hair - this made it feel like straw. There were a couple of Curlsmith products that worked for me in the past but I'm done being seduced by 'new and better'."
