    This is a really good shampoo... I've used it several times in my year and a half of being natural. It cleans very well. Smells nice. My hair doesn't feel like its been stripped. This is a nice staple shampoo to have around.

    I must be the odd man out because I've tried this poo several times over a month, even when I hadn't pooed at all for a week, and every time it left my hair dry, tangled, and rough-textured. I do like the fresh grapefruity fragrance though.

    I had high hopes for this product but it stripped my hair like crazy. My hair was squeaky and dehydrated. It felt very parched even after the Knot Today. I felt like I couldn't work the custard through my hair it was so dry.

    A great gentle shampoo to get rid of product residue and product buildup in your hair. I use it bi-weekly and love the results!

    Great product. It is gentle on my hair and leaves it noticeably cleaner, but still soft and manageable. The smell reminds me of tootsie rolls. I do not use much on each washing, because it suds up easily. I am happy they sell this at Target now. When my bottle (eventually) runs out, I will go there and get more. Very satisfied with this product.

    This shampoo left my hair stripped and FULL of tangles! I've heard a lot about Kinky Curly products and this was the first one that I tried. I won't be buying this again to say the least!

    Curly Suzy recommended this product and I use it alternating with Eluence Moisturizing Shampoo. This product works wonders for my hair. Leaves it soft and receptive. I am pleased with this product softening and cleansing capacity and Thanks Suzy!

    Nice cleansing shampoo; not recommended for everyday use unless you apply heavy creams or gels. This will definitely get the gunk of your scalp and hair if you do. Very pleasant smell and nice sudsy feel. Plus its natural!

    I was worried this shampoo would dry out my hair as everyone has been saying, but I used it in conjunction with the entire Kinky Curly system and I have to say, my hair came out looking moisturized and beautiful. Immediately after using the shampoo my hair did feel dry and unhappy, but using the Knot Today right after solved the problem pretty quickly. I don't know how my hair will hold up to long term use, but I think I'll continue to buy this.

    I wasn't impressed. For a shampoo labeled as moisturizing, I didn't find it to be. It's more of a clarifying shampoo. I think I'll keep it for the times I need to deep clean my hair, and then follow it up with a moisturizing shampoo. But, it won't be a staple, especially as I undergo the transitioning process.

    This is not my regular shampoo - I use this after swimming, especially after swimming in chlorine. I try to use it ASAP after my hair has been in chlorine/the lake/salt water and it works great. I feel like there's no chance of harsh chemicals staying in my hair if I really scrub my head with this stuff. After washing with this, I use a Redkin deep conditioner to really restore my hairs hydration. This combo leaves my hair feeling and looking great, and even in the Texas summer heat - NO FRIZZ! :)

    Very cleansing, I'm sure it's great for removing build up. My scalp feels super clean. But, it's also more drying than the shampoo bars I have, so I probably won't buy it again.

  • jensene8 - Hair Type: 3b
    The first few uses of this shampoo felt a little too clarifying/drying for my 3b hair, but I kept trying it and after my hair got used to the lack of silicones, etc. the shampoo works great! It is in fact quite gentle and moisturizing while leaving my hair feeling clean. It has a light scent and is the first shampoo in a long time that has not made my head itch (at all) on days between shampooing (I am sensitive to scent and build up issues with most “moisturizing” products). My hair is so soft and manageable! Highly recommended!

    It truly cleans the hell out of your hair. A little TOO much if you ask me but I make sure I condition my hair well after using it or my hair is quite brittle. You will not have any build-up after using that.

    I have 3C curls with some 4A and used this product after a week of co washing. It took away all of the build-up without stripping and matting my hair. The scent is very light and pleasing and the price is great. There seem to be mixed reveiws throughout all of the hair types, but I would recommend you try this yourself to see how it works for you.

    I use this shampoo as a clarifier, actually, and the ONLY one that's sulfate free that I use to clarify (the others have SLaurethS). It lathers up an insane amount, so use a VERY SMALL amount. Trust me. Try a dime-sized puddle fIRST, then add mroe as needed or you may end up super-lathered and stripped. This is definitely not for fragile hair. I find it does leave me squeaky-strippy feeling, but that's why I use it. When I feel I have build-up, here comes the KC Come Clean! Love the fresh clean fruity smell and the immense lather (a change from the nopoos with no-lather). Concentrate on scalp (will feel refreshingly clean) and go easy on the ends. This is strong stuff, even if sulfate free. If you use heavy products, this might be to your benefit for a once every couple weeks or once a month clean-up. I took one star off cause callling it "Moisturizing" is radically FALSE advertising. It's CLEANSING, but it's hardly MOISTURIZING. :)

    For 4a/4b mix it stripped alot - my hair felt hard and dry afterwards. I still like it, but only use a little bit with some baking soda as a clarifier very rarely now!

    when I added this to my hair care regiment, I found my hair to have better curl definition with the other kinky curly products. However, it doesn't add any moisture whatsoever.. over all it has a nice aroma does its job!

    This product left my hair clean but...hard and crunchy. Not the results I was looking for. I will keep it and use a few drops with conditioner, just for a good clean up product when I have product build up on my hair. Not a shampoo for everyday use, at least not on my 4A type hair.

    Knowing this was designed as a clarifying shampoo, I water down a capful in about 1 1/2 cups of warm water and pour it over braided or twisted hair and squeeze to lather. THis stuff smells great and leaves my hair clean without feeling stripped. Don't know if it would stripped used at full strength, but it lasts longer watered down anyway! Will continue to use!

    This shampoo wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either. I had wished it would have left my hair a little more hydrated, but instead it still seemed a little dried out. It works much better if a hydrating conditioner is generously applied afterward.

    Great shampoo has a good sudsy-feeling lather. Does not strip your hair and cleanses very well. Doesn’t leave your hair dry like other similar products and most of all you don’t need a lot of and can use it often. Also when you apply the conditioner after it, it’s more effective.

    It's an okay but not great shampoo. It cleansed but my hair was sort of left in no man's land. It wasn't left feeling stripped but it didn't feel great either. Not sure I will continue to use. I have had the best results with the KCNT and KCCC when I use the complete line of products since they are 1) designed to work together and 2) finiky when paired with products from other lines.

    I'm a 4a-3c mix. I am returning this poo because it left my hair feeling too rough for my liking. I love the rest of the Kinky-Curly line. The conditioner replenished what the poo stripped away. My hair was clean but stripped.

    I have 4b/spongy hair. This is a clarifying shampoo so it strips my hair and leaves it rough, dry, and tangled. However, the Kinky Curly Knot Today Conditioner replaces what was lost. The ingredients are great so I will continue to by this shampoo as a clarifier. Kinky Curly needs to come out with a moisturizing shampoo.

    I think this is one of the best curl cleanser. My hair was not dry and my hair fells extra clean after washing. I never tried the knot today as a conditioner when washing. I just do the kt as the leave in conditioner for the kccc. But this dynamic tri together is great I will try to keep this line of products as long as they keep working in my hair or I find something even better.

    I hadn't tried a shampoo in ages, but I like this product line and thought I'd try it out since one never knows when a build-up emergency will happen requiring a shampoo. I liked this product. It was pretty gentle, although weird to feel some lather! It smelled like an orange creamsicle. My hair did feel different, but I wouldn't call it dried out or stripped. Conditioning afterwards left me feeling fine. I will keep this product on hand and maybe use it once a month just to give me a clean slate. it is gentle enough so that it won't hurt.

  • Product - Hair Type: 3a
    I haven't tried the Knot Today Conditioner but I love the shampoo.I have very dry hair and wanted a sulfate free shampoo to use every day. I don't like shampooing every few days since my hair is thin and extremely frizzy and for some reason it gets really frizzy if I just use conditioner. Anyway, this shampoo smells wonderful, a little goes a long, long way and it makes my hair unbelievably soft and moisturized. I am Caucasian but my hair is between 3a and 3b, blonde and fine. This shampoo is well worth the money. When I run out of my other conditioner I might try the Kinky Curly conditioner. I am so grateful that I found this website. I don't even walk down the shampoo and conditioner row in the stores anymore.
