This is a good shampoo as it does leave my hair feeling healthy and never stripped. I have had compliments saying my hair feels smoother after using this however I sometimes feel like it doesn’t clean my scalp enough and I need to use more than recommend.
Also as I’m acne-prone so around my hairline and forehead I breakout from this shampoo and it leaves spots that stay under the skin for 1/2 days before coming to a head. So if you’re also acne/fungal-acne prone keep that in mind. Overall a good shampoo but will have to switch due to these small breakouts which is a shame because it’s not harsh at all.
