i have been using this shampoo over the past 2 years in rotation with dandruff shampoos (T-Gel and Garnier). It is gentle and low-sudsing. It doesn't strip my scalp completely of oil, which is good. I notice that my hair is more manageable and less voluminous when I use it. However, it does have sulphates. I will be trying some non-sulphate shampoos next for more moisturizing and to see if they can give me even better results.

I like it. Use a small amount to clean at scalp with WEN conditioner on mid shaft and ends. Rinse, then more WEN conditioner.

It was ok...but I wasn't impressed for the price. I was hoping for more definition and less frizz. Ultimately I think if I'm spending that much money, other products (like DevaCurl) are better.

This was so stinky I was only able to use it 2-3 times. After that, it sat on my tub for about 6 months until I finally cut my losses and tossed it. It doesn't matter how good the formula is. The scent makes it unusable.

I love this prodcut! It gets my hair clean and I have no build-up like other products. It does cost a pretty penny but worth it.

Smells great. It lathers nice and rinses out fine. It is expensive and I wasn't impressed so I won't buy it again.

I like it. I don't shampoo often, so this felt just right in the area of cleansing/stripping/drying. I followed it up with the Be Curly shampoo (with which I'm very pleased). I like it when the bottles in the shower coordinate!

Loved this shampoo. The smell is so great! My curls were moisturized and detangled. Very impressed with this shampoo.

Good shampoo. I like it when combined with the conditioner. I don't use this shampoo very often though - not even once a week. When I feel like I need a good cleaning and don't want any stripping, this is one of the ones I use.

This shampoo seems to work well. It does not strip my hair and it does make my hair feel soft. I haven't tried it with any other conditioner besides the Be Curly conditioner. I only gave it 3 curls because of the smell.

This product consistently leaves my hair with soft curls instead of frizz. However, it must be used with the Be Curly Conditioner or you are wasting your money. My only complaint is that the Be Curly products are ridiculously overpriced.

Not crazy about lemon fragrances, but I couldn't argue with the consistantly super-gentle results I got from this shampoo. Very impressive.

This shampoo is good for daily use if your hair is not very dry or if it tends to get overconditioned. Cleans nicely without stripping.

Same as how I felt with the other products in this line. It's not worth the money. I would expect that with the price you pay for this product, it should have GLOWING results. It did not. Don't waste your money.

A less-sulfatey shampoo than some. Didn't strip, but didn't feel particularly moisturizing, either.
