20 Best Shampoo And Conditioner For Coarse Dry Hair (Jan 2023 Update)

Every time I get my hair done at the salon, my hair feels SO soft. The last time I went in March, I finally asked my hairdresser what she uses and this is what she showed me. I immediately bought it that same day and have been using it ever since. My hair looks and feels SO much healthier, and I've definitely seen more growth than before. This says it's for thick/coarse hair, but my hair is literally the complete opposite and it works AMAZING for me. Not sure why there isn't more hype around this productTay 🙂

I bought this during Ulta’s liter sale along with the corresponding conditioner, and it’s wonderful! My hair is left feeling clean and easy to manage! The formula has a great scent and lathers well. I usually double wash , and this shampoo is perfect. It doesn’t dry out my hair, and I really feel like its bringing moisture back into my hair. One thing to note is since I started using this formula, my hair dries STRAIGHT. I’ve had naturally , ringlet curly hair my entire life. It’s very bizarre. I’m not sure if it’s because of this shampoo and conditioner, but I don’t use heat or any other product that is new. Definitely odd, but who knows!aiyana.b

I decided to try a different brand so I went with this one due to high reviews. The smell is nice but unfortunately it makes my hair feel really greasy for some reason and weighs my hair down. I do have dry hair due to some previous damage but it just does not work for me. I wash my hair and dry it instantly or let it air dry, both ways…hair feels greasy. I even shampoo twice and still the same. I am sure this works for many people, but for me unfortunately it does not. I just wish I purchased the smaller size as now I have to find a new shampoo and conditioner.Stephanie N.

I have been using the Shea Moisture conditioner for approximately two weeks and was provided them by #trywithtopbox as a #freeproduct for my honest review. I have fine, thin, waist length hair that is naturally blonde starting to go grey, that is prone to split ends and I would describe as normal to oily. I don't wash it daily but every 2 to 3 days it's just too much work to do daily. I used the conditioner as directed and found that my hair combed out fairly easily even while still wet which was great as it tends to tangle quite badly when I don't use a good conditioner on it. My hair was soft and shiny and manageable. The container for this feels slightly greasy when I handle it during use even after rinsing them off. The conditioner bottle uses a pump as a dispenser which is great but I couldn't get the original one that came with the bottle to function. I replaced it with one I had but I noticed that the thick conditioner dries and forms a plug that takes several pumps to force out. Overall I would say this was a good product that worked as advertised and if someone was looking to try this I would recommend it, I'm not sure if it is the best choice for me given the frequency with which I wash my hair.MargarethaM

I don't wash it daily but every 2 to 3 days it's just too much work to do daily. With this product I would say my hair was clean after use, it looked shiny and felt soft. I did notice that by the second day though that the hair near my scalp was looking greasy and by the third day it was even worse. Usually it's only beginning to look bad on the third day. I'm not sure if there is just too much oil in this for my hair to handle, if used daily it may not be noticeable. The coconut fragrance was pleasant but not overpowering and faded after a few minutes. The container for these feels slightly greasy when I handle them during use even after rinsing them off. Overall I would say this was a good product that worked as advertised and if someone was looking to try this I would recommend it, I'm not sure if it is the best choice for me given the frequency with which I wash my hair.MargarethaM

I received this as a #freeproduct through #trywithtopbox, but this review is 100% my honest opinion. I have fine 2A/2B hair that is coloured/bleached. I really struggle to find conditioning products that are repairing and hydrating for the colour, but not too heavy for my fine hair. Most conditioners really weigh my hair down and make it oily. I didn’t have that experience with the SM manuka honey and yogurt conditioner! First off – the scent is lightweight and really nice. It smells exactly like honey, but isn’t too sweet. The formula is hydrating but not heavy. It’s a thinner consistency than a lot of other repairing conditioners, which worked really well for me. I use one pump from the nape of my neck to my ends and let it sit for a few mins before washing out with cold(ish) water. I don’t believe that long term results can be identified without using the entire bottle, but I will say that my hair has been shinier, easier to detangle after washing, and less frizz since starting to use this product. The ends of my hair are usually the driest, and they seem to be less damaged and have less obvious split ends. I would absolutely continue to use this product, and will rebuy! The only thing I didn’t love is the packaging – the pump on my bottle didn’t really work, and had a hard time getting any amount of product out. I don’t know if it was just mt bottle or a design flaw, but I ended up switching the pump with another bottles I have with a thicker tube, and have not had any problems since.RoseyB37

To preface. I'm a 25 female. Natural light brown hair, bleached low maintenance blonde. Thick wavy frizzy hair that reaches the lower bottom of my back. Prone to split ends and breakage at the bottom of my hair. No extensions. I wanted to add this so people with similar hair types can relate. So to start, I'm so torn on this shampoo… I tried it for 3 weeks and I do like that this shampoo and conditioner cuts down on my overall frizz and made my hair so much smoother and less likely to tangle which is exactly what I was looking for. BUT there is some things about this shampoo I just can't ignore. First off the smell, I just can't get past it. It reminds me of a menthol cigarette. It just smells sooo minty and lingers after washing. Some people may not mind the smell but if my shampoo is going to linger, I'd prefer it to smell like something other than strong mint and almost a tea tree smell. Second, when the conditioner sets for a couple minutes before rinsing out I've noticed that my back and neck where the product has been laying in my hair will get very cold and tingly. Almost like how when you have a breath mint you get the same effect in your mouth but it's on your body this time. This alone made me decide not to repurchase. I like my shower water very warm and I found myself constantly turning the heat up because while the conditioner set I would get extremely cold from the tingly feeling. It can be overwhelming sometimes and linger even after washing the area thoroughly and drying off. I would assume if this was a shampoo and conditioner without the minty smell that I was having an allergic reaction to it but since it has that smell I just really don't know if the tingle is intended or not. And lastly, I've noticed a lot of small breakage at the top of my hair by my scalp. I'm not prone to breakage that high and only notice it after a fresh bleach every once and a while although it is usually very rare for me. I should note that it has been 3 months since my last bleach since I am a low maintenance blonde and I was not using this product during my last bleach. I also take a lot measures to protect my hair that could be the cause of breakage that high. So at this point only thing I've changed is this shampoo and conditioner. I've decided not to finish the rest of the bottle due to concerns about further breakage. This is just my experience. Some people seem to love it but it's a no from me. I hope this helps some people on the fence after reading conflicting reviews. I've switched to Joyco kpac reconstructing shampoo that has also given me the same desirable results so far with a much better smell, no breakage, and most importantly no tingly feeling on by skin.Lexi

I saw the hair loss reviews but if the hair is coming out at the follicle then that is definitely health related not from a shampoo. Shampoo cannot cause hair loss unless maybe a severe reaction to the scalp and there's swelling and for whatever reason the follicle comes out with it but that is highly unlikely. But anyways back to my review lol this is the most hydrating gentle shampoo I've ever used it's perfect! It cleans my hair and makes my scalp feel so refreshed but my hair is detangled and moisturized! And the conditioner is so creamy and moisturizing! The scents for both are so relaxing to me and my hair and scalp are taken care of with this set of shampoo and conditioner. my hair is so soft, shiny and perfectly moisturized. Definitely for medium to thick hair types unless you have finer very porous hair then I think you'd like it. Definitely one I can rely on and will repurchase but I already got the liters so guess I'll be repurchasing after that lolHairlover

Long 1B hair that's never been treated. I've used the shampoo and conditioner together for about 6 months now, and my hair has been shedding for the past three weeks. The shampoo helped my hair feel soft in the first few months of use, which is why I then got the conditioner to match, but now I've had like 10ish hairs come off my wide tooth comb every time I wash and gently comb the ends of my wet hair to apply conditioner–more will come out when I brush my hair later in the day. I think the All Soft system may work for some people but this has just damaged my hair over the long run. And I have to admit that I don't see the same results as when I first started using. Since I got the jumbo sizes, I'll probably retry these in the future for shorter periods of time, like switching systems every month lol. Imma just try Ouai for now.BrownCollegeGirl

I really wanted to like this, and had high hopes due to good reviews, but it just isn't working for me. I wash my hair every 2-4 days and have a normal to oily scalp. Once I started using this shampoo and conditioner, I started getting bad dandruff. I thought maybe I just needed time to get use to the product, but the dandruff got worse with continued use. I'll run my hands through my hair and dandruff will literally coat my shirt. I also didn't notice any change in my hair feeling softer or less frizzy. Its disappointing because it smells good and the conditioner feels rich. My hair also smells great after using this. My scalp just doesn't like it. I don't have sensitive skin and I've use a wide range of hair products throughout the years, from drug store to name brand, so this experience was shocking and unusual for me.Marz

Used this product for about a year. Absolutely loved the smell and the consistency of both shampoo and conditioner, made my hair few clean, all around enjoyed it. I have fine, thin, mostly straight hair. But every time I showered, small clumps of my hair would come out. I honestly just thought I was shedding and didn't think much of it but have noticed a fair amount of hair loss compared to when I started using it. Decided to look at reviews before reordering and noticed similar complaints. Switched to another shampoo and lost only a couple of strands. This produce 100% made my hair fall out like crazy, no idea why or how but do not use. 2 stars only because I love the smell.jen

I really like using these products and how my hair feels after using them. I ordered the whole set during the flash sale and when I received the products the shampoo, conditioning spray, and the conditioner weren't closed properly so most of the product was in the bottom of the box. I sent an email about the issue but I received another email for a link that doesn't work to open a ticket. No one has reached out to me and I have been sent the same link twice. My previous order the pumps on the bottles were broken. I just chalked that up to shipping but when the products are sent to you already opened, that's a whole other issue.Marcia W.

This is one of my top five shampoos for people who have a four c hair texture! The smell is amazing. It definitely gives off hints of pomegranate and honey which is the perfect snow combination. It provides a thick rich and full leather without having to use 17 pumps of shampoo. I Projects like that mielle products are parabens and sulfates paraffins and mineral oil all free. I will be the first to say that being that I have for sea hair this is not a detangling product. Moisturizing absolutely. Cleaning your hair it also removes all the impurities. So it is still dry and tangled.patrice.c

I was a little disappointed when I received my black Friday package from Mielle. I have ordered before and have been pleased but this time it was like everything was thrown in a box and shipped. The box was so beat up its like the products could have came out and almost would have im certain had it been tossed around any more and I know that part wasn't so much their fault but I figured it would have been put into another box to ship to prevent that problem. The products had no confetti at least to soften how its thrown around everything was so greasy i thought for sure a product or 3 were leaking and also nothing was wrapped at least in bubble wrap considering how it was boxed up. Literally just thrown in the box any kind of way. Just disappointed because I know it could have been done better and what if my products would have all been leaking from how the order is being handled by the carrier.Yashica H.

Recently I was able to participate in a unique mission for Topbox Circle to test and review Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo and Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner. I purchased both full sized 384 ml bottles at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. After reviewing both products, and submitting my receipt, I will be reimbursed by Topbox Circle for the purchase of these two products. I used this Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo for the past couple of weeks. I tend to shampoo my naturally wavy to curly hair every other day, and condition it less often, or as needed. This Sulfate Free and Colour Safe Shampoo is made with Fig Extract and Boabab Oil to “Hydrate and Replenish Extra Dry, Damaged Hair”. I found this shampoo relatively thick in texture and so it was a bit hard to get out of the bottle. Found myself having to squeeze the bottle, especially when the bottle was less full, to get the product out. The Conditioner comes in a pump bottle. This shampoo richly lathers and rinses off well. I experienced no irritation on my scalp or skin. It felt gentle. The fragrance on the other hand is far too strong for me. I like the smell of figs and honey, but there’s a potent fragrance to this product. The scent is a bit too much. Shea Moisture is not my usual brand for hair products, but I wanted to try something new. This shampoo left my hair perfumed, shiny, clean, and soft. My curls looked defined. I found the oils and/or conditioners in this product a bit too heavy for daily use (every second day use for me) but I would consider using Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner weekly, or as a hair treatment. I recommend this product to people with dry and/or curly hair who are looking for a fragrant, moisturizing shampoo. #freeproduct #trywithtopbox #SheaMoisture #topboxcircle #topboxSarahPS

I purchased Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. After completing my review mission, I will be reimbursed by Topbox Circle. I used this Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner, every other day, for the past couple of weeks. I tend to use conditioner on my naturally wavy to curly hair, before or after I shampoo, as needed. This Colour Safe conditioner is made with Certified organic Shea Butter, Honey, Mafura and Boabab oils to “restore manageability, nourish and condition dry, brittle hair”. This Shea Moisture conditioner comes in a pump bottle, so the product is easier to get out of the bottle. I left this nourishing conditioner on my hair for a few minutes, before rinsing it off with cool water. I experienced no irritation on my scalp or skin. The fragrance of this Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner is a little too strong for me, but less potent than the matching Shampoo. This conditioner left my hair detangled, manageable, shiny, and soft. My curls looked defined, and my hair was easy to style. I recommend this product to people with dry and/or curly hair who are looking for a moisturizing conditioner. #freeproduct #trywithtopbox #SheaMoisture #topboxcircle #topboxSarahPS

I was able to try the Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Shampoo as a #freeproduct with #trywithtopbox & was pleasantly surprised. Keeping in mind this is a restorative shampoo it's very unconventional in the way it looks, smells & shampoos the hair. I was very skeptical but was used to it by the 2nd to 3rd time using it. It doesn't suds up/lather as much as a regular shampoo but it does if you really massage the hair well & give it a second shampoo. The color doesn't bother me as I said you get used to it. My hair didn't have the traditional "clean" feeling the first time I used it but there's a definite silkier almost more creamy feel to the hair after using it which is nice. This was a nice surprise! After using it for a few weeks now, I feel like again, I'm used to it & it leaves the hair clean & amazingly hydrated. Keep in mind this is all because this shampoo is sulfate-free (which is a good thing!). So give it a chance! You wouldn't necessarily use this if you have a ton of product in your hair you need to get off (lots of hairspray, gel etc,). This could be used for the second round of shampooing. So recommend to use this when you need some hydration & your hair is heat damaged. Also big plus it didn't burn my eyes which is my number one test with any shampoo especially when I saw the highlighted ingredients as peppermint & apple cider vinegar. I detest mint in general (esp in hair care) & have used products with lots of tea tree oil etc. & do not like it. So points for being subtle smelling & not harsh. Honestly didn't even notice. Points for natural ingredients! Would definitely give this a try if you're looking for something different to try as well as the Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Leave-in Conditioner!First Time

This is a really nice silky hydrating leave in conditioner. I like to use it after the shampoo and mask from the same line and I love how it makes my hair feel and look. I apply this from mid to ends and comb and style as usual. It leaves my hair soft and shiny without being too heavy. It has some of my favorite nourishing ingredients like argan oil and marula oil. Just like the shampoo, it has a slight lower PH which is what I look for in hair care products since they hydrate but are less damaging. It’s perfect for every day hydration and helps a lot with frizz control, especially on thick wavy hair like mine! I also really like the fact that it doesn’t have artificial fragrance or essential oils.elenaph

I just love the moisture I get from the Drunk Elephant Silkamino Mega-Moisturizing Shampoo for my hair and my scalp loves it too! This really is a deeply moisturizing shampoo I truly feel my hair gets plenty of moisture and feels healthier with use, looks shinier, softer too, and even stronger. It does a great job too at deep cleansing away all my product buildup I have in my hair from all the hair products I use which is a plus, plus dirt, sweat, and oils too it cleanses away. What I like is that soothes my scalp too which is something I was looking for while also looking for something with all these other properties so this shampoo really does it all and my scalp does feel so much better and healthier too! This shampoo has a nice thick formula so all you need is a little to lather up so it’ll last you a long time and I only use a small amount on my past below my shoulders wavy bleached hair. I’ve also noticed my hair is more manageable with less frizz due to the great moisturizing effect and how it is free of all the bad ingredients I’m sure plays a role. Highly recommend!Vmuller2

Well, super bummed. I liked the light scent. It doesn't smell "good" but not bad either and it doesn't linger so I don't care about that. First time I used, literally thought I forgot to rinse conditioner out. So I washed next day (usually only wash twice a week). My hair was fine, but seemed a bit heavy. Used it yesterday without the conditioner this time because I used a hair mask (which I've been using for years). Could tell immediately when rinsing the mask my hair felt really weird. Then again today everything but the top most layer is a weird filmy greasy mess! So it's not just the conditioner, but the shampoo. It leaves a gross film on my hair making it super greasy. I have an oilier scalp but I can still go days between washes. This stuff somehow has the strands extremely oily! Will definitely return this one. Love the ghost oil and their purple hair mask though!Haleygb

DO NOT BUY THIS product, IT WILL DRY OUT YOUR HAIR. – I'm not too sure why this was given the name "hydrating shampoo". I have curly hair and live in the Southwest region of the USA. Hot, dry climate + curls = extra dry hair. I purchased this along with the condition with the hopes of going for a cruelty free, vegan brand that could nourish my locks in time for summer – I was let down and then some. DO NOT buy this product. After one wash, my hair was left brittle with zero definition, and that's with applying my usual styling oil and VERB curl creme. Multiple reviews on here and online voice the same concerns.ariesbb411

I'm an Ulta employee and I decided to try this when we first got it in our location. I tried the Ghost line's kit and it just wasn't for me (I feel that it weighed my hair down a bit but my hair is really finicky) so I was afraid to try the hydration line. My hair isn't super fine but it's also not really thick, just kinda in the middle, but I have A LOT of hair. I used to get a full highlight every three months for 8 years before deciding to dye it darker. My hair is a little damaged to say the least and it's pretty dry. I tried the shampoo and conditioner, and was surprised at how nice the shampoo lathered despite being sulfate free. Over time I noticed that my hair didn't fade as quickly as when I used my bumble and bumble line. My hair felt healthier and hydrated, but without any weird residue, texture, or weigh down. It DEFINITELY cut down on frizz and made my hair much shinier. 10/10 get this if your hair needs weightless hydration.Twenty something makeup artist

I really love this product. Smells so good, Leaves fine hair looking soft and very bright. Because it is silicone free, it does not leave hair looking slimy the way silicone products leave fine hair. Each hair strand stands up on its own. Great product, great price. I wii buy again and again.sibely.v

Use this on my daughter's afro hair. Smells lovely and works a treat. Moisturises her hair and fixes the curl shape well so it holds it for next few days. Use weekly. It also prevents too much knotting in her hair.C Dutton

So far so good. Trying to replace Deva products that have become too expensive and needed something without proteins, so it will not dry out my curly/wavy hair. This has worked well so far. Of course changing products generally has a good initial result, but it can decrease with continued use. I am hopeful this result will last.chemmom

I was able to try this product in exchange for review, which I was thrilled about as I have always wanted to try this particular Shea Moisture line. I have heavily highlighted and have attacked it quite regularly with hot tools. Add in pandemic self-done haircuts, my hair has been feeling rather dry and brittle. After two weeks of using this shampoo, twice a week, My hair feels moisturised but perhaps a little too much so. For my particular hair, I cannot use this is my go-to shampoo, but more as a twice a month or so treatment shampoo. The texture is not like any I have tried before, it is a semi-viscus liquid that pours out like a watery honey, not at all like a standard shampoo, so pay attention in the shower! The smell is a comforting warm vanilla. For my hair this product is a little too moisturising to use with every wash, but if you have coarser hair than mine, I definitely say give it a whirl. The smell is divine! #freeproduct #trywithtopboxmeg7

I will repeat purchase, as this shampoo does strengthen & restore my hair due effective natural components: Jamaican Black Castor oil, Fair Trade Shea Butter & Peppermint. It's sulfate-free, eligible for colored hair, by the way. The scent is really extremely pleasant like parfume for hair. My man loves the aroma & makes compliments. The only minus that I detected is that as It nourishes hair, my hair becomes one day ahead in comparison with other shampoos with cleaning leading role, not restoring. But I am completely OK with it, as benefits prevail. After use my hair has beautiful silky shine & it becomes healthier. It has helped me to resolve hair loss as well. I recommend this shampoo because of effective natural components & it really worked for my hair. This is my 2nd bottle & will buy more, but in large volume 384 ml! This volume 94ml is ideal for a trial. Friends, please click thumb up if this review is helpful for you. Thank you & enjoy your own experience❤️!iHerb Customer

There is quite literally NOTHING hydrating about this shampoo. It's quite stripping, to the point where it feels like a clarifying shampoo. That said, it cleans my hair very nicely, giving me a squeaky clean feeling that I do actually like, especially since I only wash my hair about 2x a week and get a lot of build-up. Gives me nice volume, and my hair feels good when I follow up with the curly hair conditioner. For me, it works because I like a stronger shampoo, but if you're looking for something gentle and hydrating, this is NOT it. I would give this 5 stars if it was described as a clarifying or volumizing shampoo, but calling it hydrating??? They must be joking, especially at this price point.julia

I’m not sure why this shampoo isn’t talked about because it’s truly fantastic. I have naturally curly hair that I blow out every week. My hair is also currently damaged from coloring and all the blow outs so I’m taking a break from both. I’ve tried many others shampoos yet this is the only one that makes a visible difference, my hair is smoother and less frizzy when blown out or air dried, I also swear it extends my color. I’m so impressed with this shampoo that I got their intense hydrating mask, leave in conditioner and oil, I use it all together with a palm full of tigi curls rock amplifier and this combo gives healthy, voluminous curls. I grew up with their hair oil and it’s crazy that after all these years they still have some of the best hair products. I also included Ouai leave in conditioner in my pic, another amazing hydrating product, I alternate this with Moroccanoil’s leave in on wash days. If you’re looking for a shampoo that really moisturizes and adds to the health of you hair this is it!AlexandraFM

Unfortunately the shampoo didn’t work for me. It has a very strong scent and it matted my hair while washing. I typically don’t write negative reviews because everyone has their own preferences, but I felt I should comment on the customer service in hopes someone from the company would read this and respond. I purchased about $100 worth of product that didn’t work for me. When I tried calling to see what my options were I got a message they were upgrading their phone system so they couldn’t take calls and to please email them. I kindly emailed them with no response. After 10 days I send them a second email… no response. Based on my experience I would not recommend purchasing from this company unless you are willing to lose whatever money you’ve spent to try it.Margie L.

Wow! Best shampoo I have ever used by far! I have spent years trying to find a shampoo that doesn’t make my hair a tangly matted mess but this cleans my scalp and give my hair slip and hydration at the same time, I have dry curly / wavy hair that gets split ends and breaks easily and I have noticed a significant different in the ends and over all appearance and feel of my hair since using this shampoo and the correlating conditioner. The shampoo has a decent lather and you don’t need much of it as a little goes a long way. The only downside is that for me this product was a lot more than what I’d usually spend on a shampoo/ conditioner but is definitely worth the investment for something that actually works for my hair for once.sophie.b

I really wanted to like this but I just couldn’t so I returned it. The scent was the most part for me… I expected the same scent as the original Moroccanoil Hair oil so maybe my expectation was high? It was almost like those glade spray fresh clean scent to me. Performance wasn’t as good… it did help with the frizz and made my hair fluffy but made my hair feel dry so I didn’t see the point of paying this much for a product like this. I’m still searching for the right one. I have balayage on top of old highlights/lowlights My hair is extremely dry and damaged I’m half Asian/Whiteamanda0ki

I have long hair (almost touches my coxis; half of it is dyed because I’m trying to achieve a melted effect.. from my natural dark brown to grey) So my ends need help to maintain its elasticity, moisture and prevent split ends. I got everything from this brand that I was able to afford to start taking care of it . (Repair, protect and restorative products) It has passed 2 weeks and I’m planning on keep washing my hair every 3-4 days; I have experienced NO frizz as before, no tangle hair, it’s feels soft , smell great, more manageable. I hope as I keep with the routine of using only Moroccanoil , that my hair will get ‘repair’ and be ready for my last color sesión 🤞🏼.. I’m a costumer forever. Ps. Hopefully you can see from the pictures the texture of my hair (before and after) and Judge for yourself ☺️. Before: is on the ponytail (fluffy-frizzy) After: more tamed, more definition -keeps shape.Liliana T.

I love this shampoo, I have tried so many shampoo’s and I always wanted to try CHI but I didn’t want to invest in spending that much money, I am so glad I did and now it is my regular shampoo, after using my hair smelled great and it was soft and manageable, I also love the conditioner. This will be my regular shampoo and conditioner, it’s worth the money I spent.Linda R.

I wanted to re-vamp my hair-care routine because as I've gotten older, my color-treated, highlighted hair has gotten thinner, especially at the ends. My hair has also lost all its shine in recent years. And after trying Wen, I think I lost a lot of hair, so I needed a lot of things, including volume. My hair had been looking very porous, thin, frizzy. i straighten it because I hate the waves. This shampoo keeps my hair straight until I wash again. I love it, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the time to write a review. I wash about 3 times a week, and this has made my hair appear thicker, healthier and less frizzy. I just switched from Wella Elements, which is supposed to be good, and made my hair very soft, but did not add the extra thickness, volume I wanted. Also, Sebastian Whipped Cream and Sexy Hair's Smooth and Seal spray have helped immensely. The three of those products changed the look of my hair completely. It looks thicker at the ends and shiny, I am an extreme fitness enthusiast and my work outs are very sweaty. These products have worked so well, I can actually take out my wet pony tail and it goes back to looking almost the same way when dry.Caroline

I received a sample of this with my Chi order (I usually love and use the Silk Infusion hair oil) and thought I would try it out. It smells just the same as the hair oil which I LOVE. It made my hair feel very silky and clean. I don’t think I had enough of this product to fully decide whether it’s worth it but going by first impressions I would like to try the bigger version.bethany.m

I have what most consider to be type 3B curly hair, and I often struggle to find hair products that strike the right balance between taking care of thick, curly and dry hair that can easily get damaged, and ensuring shine, bounce, life and health to my curls. I don't want something to hydrate and moisturize but leave my hair looking flat and greasy, nor do I want my hair to look like shiny ringlets but be crunchy or feel like unmanageable straw. The search has been lifelong. I have tried Shea Moisture products before, and they have been good, but I think the Papaya & Neroli All Day Frizz Control line is really striking all the right notes for my hair. The Papaya & Neroli All Day Frizz Control Shampoo is lovely to use. Non-stripping, it cleans effectively, though I feel that two washes with light product use works better than one wash with a heavier hand as rinsing it out well is key. It lathers, but not crazily, and there is a distinct scent though I don't find it bothersome and the entire range is not strong enough to trigger my sensitivities. I don't find that the shampoo weighs down my hair if well rinsed, and there has been no build up over the few weeks I have used it so far, while my hair has looked very healthy since I switched to these products. I received this #freeproduct as part of a #trywithtopbox promotion, but my opinions are my own.Sherri4g

This is probably one of the best shampoos I've ever used. It leaves my hair feeling super soft and manageable. I have wavy hair. It doesn't strip the natural oils from the scalp. One con is that it doesn't lather up like how typical shampoos do so I think I end up using more than I should be BUT I can look past that because of the results. I like the subtle scent, it's not like perfume. Great stuff!iHerb Customer

This is another great addition – Papaya & Neroli with Elderflower – to the fantastic range of SheaMoisture products available on iHerb. I like its flowery, exotic scent and the creamy consistency of this conditioner. I have long untreated curly hair and this product really helps me with controlling hair frizz especially in this hot and very humid summer weather. I also use the gel from the same Papaya & Neroli with Elderflower line, particularly when wearing my hair in a ponytail or a bun and I am fully satisfied with both conditioner and gel. I am planning to buy the shampoo as well. In the meantime I happily give this product 5 stars. If my review helps you, then please kindly leave a thumbs up for me. Many thanks!iHerb Customer

I have waist-length, natural 2A/2B hair and have always loved Kenra styling products. I was excited to try Sugar Beach shampoo and conditioner for a little volume/texture boost. However, after 3 months of use, my hair is frizzy, dry, and damaged with no enhanced waves or lifted roots to show for it. While using this shampoo, I maintained my tried-and-true routine including regular hydrating masks, bond-building products, and protective products/styling. However, I've had better results with other texturizing/volumizing shampoos- both drugstore and salon brands. I give this product two stars because it didn't irritate my scalp, and it did an okay job with cleansing. However, I do not recommend this shampoo or its corresponding conditioner if you're looking to beat frizz.Em

I have waist-length, untreated 2A/2B hair and have always loved Kenra styling products. I was excited to try Sugar Beach shampoo and conditioner for a little volume/texture boost. However, after 3 months of use, my hair is frizzy, dry, and damaged with no enhanced texture or lifted roots to show for it. I've continued to use the Verb hydrating mask once a week, Olaplex No3 once a week, a clarifying shampoo once a month, and protective, moisturizing styling products as usual while using these products. I had better results with Biolage Volumebloom and even some drug store texturizing/volumizing options like Not Your Mothers. I give this product two stars because it didn't irritate my scalp, cause hairfall, or leave much buildup. However, I do not recommend this conditioner or it's corresponding shampoo if you're looking for frizz-free texture.Em

Tried the smaller size to see if I would like. I do not. The smell reminds me of something with chemicals in it from childhood. I haven’t figured it out yet what that smell is. And have not noticed any benefit . Almost done with it. If you wanted to improve it- either take away the chemical odor and replace with a very light scent . No one wants to b overwhelmed like a 90/!herbal essences commercial anymore. # too many irritants as is.raquel.w

I have an oily scalp with wavy waist length thick hair (many thin/low porosity strands). Color treated blonde. Problems: fluffy/poofy hair, greasy roots, dry ends, seborrheic dermatitis (on back of scalp) 1. Product longevity: I only used the allotted card sample packet of 10 mL shampoo & 10 mL conditioner, which I was prepared to not be enough for my long hair. It was perfect! It went a long way, which was a pleasant surprise right off the bat. 2. Scent: the fragrance is pleasant, light but it hangs in there, even into the next day. The scent is unisex. It just smells very *clean,* like a fresh aquatic citrus. Although it’s subtle, it is noticeable enough to get a “ooh your hair smells good” when someone goes in for the hug. 3. Effectiveness: this cleaned my hair so well, without making it feel overly dried or stripped. I have a hard time getting a good product that works with my dermatitis, and actually calmed the flare up I was having. Day 2 after wash, my head was so much less itchy than it was all week. My hair stayed clean and free of grease throughout all of day 1 and 2. Paired with the conditioner, my hair was smooth, shiny, soft (but not overly fluffy/full of poofy flyaways). It felt hydrated and my ends looked good. I’ve been faithful to olaplex for the past 2 years, but think I may have a new fave. I noticed that with olaplex, my hair began getting greasy SO quickly. I was getting greasy same day as wash. I still love it (that LATHER and scent tho!), but I think it’s too rich and moisture-focused for regular use given my oily scalp. My seborrheic dermatitis was getting worse and having intense flare ups. Anyway, everyone’s hair is different, and can change in different seasons, so I really don’t think there’s a “one size fits all” hair product that will be best for everyone at all times. That being said, transitioning into warmer, humid spring/summer weather, I’m really pleased to have found this product. It’ll be great for clean summer hair.jessicaeve1023

For reference: I have LONG hair with a naturally wavy/curly texture, and with that comes frizz. A lot of it – even though I'm very aware of how to tame it (naturally kept or with a blow-out). My hair behaves weirdly, i'll just put it that way – it's difficult to achieve perfectly smooth styles. HOWEVER… I've been using OUAI products (I started with the THICK SHAMP+THICK COND.) for a little bit over a year now & all I can say is…I will NEVER go back to anything else, ever, unless I find something AS extraordinary as this brand. It's like magic in a bottle, to me at least. I have never experienced better hair (at home, done by me) in my entire life. It's insanely smooth & silky. I have such minimal frizz now. I normally need to blow dry AND straighten my hair, but I am beyond satisfied with just the blow-dried results. The only cons, I would say, is that because there's such rich and moisturizing ingredients (love to see it!) your hair can become a tad oily after the third day, even second sometimes. You just need to figure out what the right amount of product is for you so that you don't over do it. The second con, though it's nothing too crazy, would be that sometimes I end up needing more product in the shower, as it doesn't lather suuuuper well – but again, this depends on hair length and the amount that you know you need. I guess I just wish it foamed a bit more, is all. BUT these are such small things that can be resolved & aren't much of a big deal. For the oily con as mentioned above, this is why I switched to the MEDIUM line & I feel like it has helped. The THICK line may have heavier ingredients. Thank you OUAI x times a million <3 I hope these formula's never change! 🙂 BEST CHOICE I'VE EVER MADE FOR MY HAIR !SierraBie

I have tried SO many different shampoos and conditioners. A lot from drugstore and high end. And lately I've noticed I've been shedding more than usual. I have been using pureology a lot. I've used strength cure, hydrate and the nano works good line. But for some reason the pureology strength cure especially really irritated my scalp and makes me lose soooo much hair. So I got the ouai thick hair shampoo and conditioner and the first time I used it my shedding was only like 10 hair strands! I've washed my hair 4 times with it now and my hair scalp feels so clean but the shampoo makes washing my hair so easy and doesn't tangle my hair. And the conditioner is chefs kiss. I barely have to use any and my hair is so conditioned after the shampoo/conditioner. My hair is so soft, shiny, clean and my natural waves/curls look really pronounced since using the set. Also they smell AMAZING I want a perfume in the shampoo scent! I got the leave in, oil, and curl cream and they all work together beautifully and don't make my hair feel producty which I like because pureolgy always leaves my hair feeling kinda gross when I use their leave ins. Anyway I totally recommend this set and if you're getting greasy hair from this set try the medium or fine hair set. This just probably isn't for your hair type. I have zero buildup with this and have perfectly clean,soft hair.Hair enthusiast

As a woman with wavy hair that frizzes horribly whenever the humidity is high, and let's be honest, the humidity is high in the Southeast, I thought I'd try out Naturelle Biotera Anti-Frizz Intense Smoothing Shampoo and Naturelle Biotera Anti-Frizz Intense Smoothing Conditioner. I purchased my product at a local Sally's Beauty Supply, and they said that if I didn't like the product that I could return it, which is a win win situation for the customer. What I didn't realize until I was using the product is that for the best results, Biotera recommends using not only the shampoo and conditioner but the leave in conditioner as well. Since I didn't buy the leave in conditioner, my review is solely on the shampoo and conditioner. For those of you who don't like a strong scent, then you'll be pleased with the light scent of this product. The aroma has hints of cinnamon apple. Where I love the scent of cinnamon and apple, I personally don't care for the two scents to be mixed together, so this was a negative for me, even with it being lightly scented. Despite me not using the leave in conditioner, the products worked exceptionally well on my hair while we had several days of rain. There was the slightest bit of frizz, but that was nothing compared to how bad my hair normally frizzes in the rain. I was very pleased with the results. The pricing is a little bit higher for the Naturelle Biotera Anti-Frizz Intense Smoothing Shampoo and Naturelle Biotera Anti-Frizz Intense Smoothing Conditioner than what I pay for TRESemmé or Herbal Essences. The pricing at my local store was $8.99 per bottle, plus tax for the smaller bottles. However, pricing may vary in different areas. I gave this product 4.5 stars out of five stars.kara.r

So I really loved this shampoo when I first started using it. My hair felt nice and shiny. I've been using it about 3 months now and in the last month or so I've noticed my scalp is crazy dry and itchy. I figured it was the Arizona sun, until I realized my hair has thinned about 50%. I thought I was crazy until my esthetician pointed it out as well. I went online and found out it contained a chemical called DMDM hydantoin that is linked to hair loss/contact dermititis and is a super popular allergen.brandy.l

I have tried the original and the generic version and while there's a slight difference, it is not enough to make worth the price difference. Biolage shampoo has a delightfully clean and fresh smell to it. Lather is nice but it stripped the heck out of my color. Yes I should have used the color safe version but I didn't and so here we are. Ha! I do feel that it stripped TOO much from my hair in terms of natural oils. Left my hair a bit "squeaky" and flat. The conditioner brought back some life, but sometimes I just want to shampoo without using conditioner and this is not the product for that. If I were to receive a color safe version to try I would absolutely give it a go. Otherwise, I won't try it again, generic or real.kelly.y

I have been using this product for over 15 years. I have very dry, fine hair and this has been the only shampoo that has kept my hair from having split ends and keeps it looking healthy and fuller. I LOVE IT. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way. And with my very thin hair, it has been the only thing I have found to keep my hair looking healthy. I have seen some complaints about how this weighs down the hair. Because this is for normal to dry hair, it is moisturizing and thick. A little goes a long way. I do use the conditioner as well, but ONLY massage it through the ends of my hair, not on the scalp. I can see how this may cause a greasy feeling. The conditioner is thick and may be difficult to wash out. This is the only line of Kerastase products I have found that has a lighter fragrance. I have tried others, but they are too perfumey for me (I'm the person who uses fragrance free detergent because the smell is too strong). I use the #2 Shampoo for dry and sensitized hair when my hair seems really dry. I love that one too. (Same color bottle, just with a 2).CasualDiva

Background: For the past few years my hair has been oddly greasy on top. One day, it just happened. Every time I combed my hair, I would find buildup. I tried everything (sulfate free shampoos, apple cider vinegar, rinsed, etc) So this past October I purchased this after I went ahead and got a pricey haircut for the first time. Walking into the salon, I was pretty embarrassed because for the past few years my hair had been incredibly greasy/oily at the scalp with dry ends. It makes it look like I don’t wash my hair. I had tried everything! Everything rinse both over the counter and in salons. Although my hair felt good after going into salons to remove buildup, I couldn’t afford to go in once, twice a week for this. I told my salonist about my issues and she recommended this exact product. My scalp felt better immediately, my hair looks voluminous and more importantly, clean (!) and I’m not going back.bsgbowee

I didn't really notice any difference in my hair, however I think it made my scalp very flaky. The only thing that I changed in my routine was this shampoo, and it made me flaky during both the winter and summer months. I have since gotten another shampoo (and am using the same conditioner) and the flakes have immediately gone. It does smell lovely though. I won't be repurchasing this product as it is very expensive and made me extremely self-conscious. Note: I only use shampoo and conditioner on my hair, no dry shampoo or other treatments. I also spend a lot of time washing out my shampoo to ensure there is no product build-up on my scalp.e

I have been using the Shea Moisture conditioner for approximately two weeks and was provided them by #trywithtopbox as a #freeproduct for my honest review. I have fine, thin, waist length hair that is naturally blonde starting to go grey, that is prone to split ends and I would describe as normal to oily. I don't wash it daily but every 2 to 3 days it's just too much work to do daily. I used the conditioner as directed and found that my hair combed out fairly easily even while still wet which was great as it tends to tangle quite badly when I don't use a good conditioner on it. My hair was soft and shiny and manageable. The container for this feels slightly greasy when I handle it during use even after rinsing them off. The conditioner bottle uses a pump as a dispenser which is great but I couldn't get the original one that came with the bottle to function. I replaced it with one I had but I noticed that the thick conditioner dries and forms a plug that takes several pumps to force out. Overall I would say this was a good product that worked as advertised and if someone was looking to try this I would recommend it, I'm not sure if it is the best choice for me given the frequency with which I wash my hair.MargarethaM

I did notice that by the second day though that the hair near my scalp was looking greasy and by the third day it was even worse. Usually it's only beginning to look bad on the third day. I'm not sure if there is just too much oil in this for my hair to handle, if used daily it may not be noticeable. The coconut fragrance was pleasant but not overpowering and faded after a few minutes. The container for these feels slightly greasy when I handle them during use even after rinsing them off.

I received this as a #freeproduct through #trywithtopbox, but this review is 100% my honest opinion. I have fine 2A/2B hair that is coloured/bleached. I really struggle to find conditioning products that are repairing and hydrating for the colour, but not too heavy for my fine hair. Most conditioners really weigh my hair down and make it oily. I didn’t have that experience with the SM manuka honey and yogurt conditioner! First off – the scent is lightweight and really nice. It smells exactly like honey, but isn’t too sweet. The formula is hydrating but not heavy. It’s a thinner consistency than a lot of other repairing conditioners, which worked really well for me. I use one pump from the nape of my neck to my ends and let it sit for a few mins before washing out with cold(ish) water. I don’t believe that long term results can be identified without using the entire bottle, but I will say that my hair has been shinier, easier to detangle after washing, and less frizz since starting to use this product. The ends of my hair are usually the driest, and they seem to be less damaged and have less obvious split ends. I would absolutely continue to use this product, and will rebuy! The only thing I didn’t love is the packaging – the pump on my bottle didn’t really work, and had a hard time getting any amount of product out. I don’t know if it was just mt bottle or a design flaw, but I ended up switching the pump with another bottles I have with a thicker tube, and have not had any problems since.RoseyB37

I have fine, oily hair with dry ends that’s been pretty lackluster since the pandemic started and I’ve been searching for an HG product to bring it back to life. This wasn’t the miracle I was looking for, but it’s still been an all-around decent workhorse conditioner: decently moisturizing, doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it oily faster, no overwhelming fragrance, good price for the quality. Didn’t fix any major problems but certainly prevented any more damage. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good, every-day product to maintain their hair health, and I’ll probably repurchase in the future. Don’t expect it to work magic, but it absolutely gets the job done.hannah.a

Everyone's hair is different but fir me, I've used Sun in Spray with lemon over the summer on my dark brown waist length hair & now have blonde beach sun kissed hair. I definitely needed a good shampoo & conditioner & so glad I tried this one! It definitely made my hair soft, shiny, strong, & manageable. So many compliments on color & shine. I'm a retired cosmetologist & one great tip is to make sure you rinse out your hair with the coldest water you can tolerate for high shiny healthy looking hair. Hot water damages but cold water rinses out thoroughly & keeps it shiny! It's a keeper for me.MiMi

Great shampoo that works for my fine oily hair. I have long fin hair that was damaged a few years ago from going blonde. I am growing my hair out and use this shampoo and the conditioner in between using olaplex. I love how this makes my hair look thicker and fluffier. I can still only go one day in between washes before my hair looks limp but w/ other shampoos even olaplex, I'd have to wash my hair daily so this works well for me w/ dry shampoo in between washes. Biolage at this point really seems to be a great quality product that is consistent. I'd definitely recommend if you have fine or thin hair and need a boost of volume and thickness.Jules
