This sulfate-free, water-soluble shampoo is for dry, frizzy or unruly hair. It restores moisture and manageability. Protects and tames hair using sea botanicals and honey. Hydrates efficiently by increasing the absorption rate through hair layers. It penetrates the hair, which builds up the moisture content and helps prevent split ends. The result is soft, silky hair. Lavender mint scent.

I really was wanting to love this shampoo, but it irritated my scalp very badly! :( I thought it was a fluke, so I tried it 2 other times and the result was the same...irritated and break out on my scalp. I still love the Mop Top line and am trying a different shampoo to see if it was just the fragrance in this one.

This product makes my hair way too soft. I wanted to love this line, but its not for my hair.

I've tried 3 different shampoos for curly hair and this one gave me the best result! The smell is more minty and is very gentle on my hair. In combination with the other Mop Top Products this leaves my hair healthy and shiny :)

I really did not like this shampoo and I wouldn't recommend it. I felt as though I had to use a lot and it left my hair feeling tangled and dry. I wouldn't use this if you have really thick, low porosity, slightly dry wavy-curly hair like me.

I love the scent, but it's too drying for my hair and leaves me with tangles.

I use this every 5 days with the conditioner and feel my hair is clean afterward. Love the smell and the way it lathers.

Did nothing for me, and nothing for my frizz. Plus it has a really strong, unpleasant sent.

I bought this product mostly because of the good reviews it got. But the scent is very intense and made my eyes sting.I also had to use more than a dime size amount to get a lather. It just didnt work for me.

I love the way this lathers. It feels a little bit tingly and really makes my hair feel sooo clean! I have found that it works best with the conditioner to get the clean and soft feeling altogether!

I bought the travel pack of MopTop products so I could give them a try. Love this shampoo - the smell alone makes it worth using! Didn't strip my fine, dry, naturally blonde hair. Tingly on the scalp. Not as happy with the rest of the MopTop products...

I have 2b to 3b hair. I like this shampoo. It cleanses without stripping by hair. I'm trying to decide betwee this one and MGA shampoo. I like them both equally. I only gave it a 3 because I have to use a conditioner to get my fingers through by hair.

I use this shampoo everyday. In fact, I use all of Mop Top's products everyday and it all starts with this one! It's a gentle shampoo that doesn't leave my hair feeling like straw. At first, I didn't like the scent, but it's grown on me and it melds well with the scent of the conditioner, leaving your hair smelling clean and fresh. This line of products has saved my hair's life. Literally.

This shampoo is TERRIFIC. I have used Devachan No Poo in the past, and I think this shampoo is better. First, it lathers up a tad so you can really feel like you're actually washing your hair. Second, it was much gentler on my naturally colored hair than any Devachan product and I loved the way it left my hair. Thumbs up!

This shampoo is gentle & truly cleanses my hair & scalp. It does not over dry my curls & it does not tangle my hair. I recommend this for 3c/4b hair.

I only use shampoo once a week so I needed something that would leave my hair clean, but not stripped. This product is wonderful for this purpose. It cleanses and removes buildup while still being very gentle and moisturizing. The minty smell is great! It left my scalp all tingly and fresh feeling!

I use all their products and love them. This shampoo is a refreshing boost and makes my scalp tingle and feel so clean. All of the products work very well together and do an amazing job on my curls. Thank you Mop Top for creating wonderful products!

This shampoo smells great & leaves my hair feeling clean without feeling stripped. I only use it every 7 - 10 days; I "wash" with the daily conditioner in between. Has an almost "tingly," feeling - leaves my scalp feeling refreshed!

Finally, a shampoo that adds moisture without weighing down my hair. My hair is color-treated, dry and slightly wavy. This shampoo cleans my hair gently and has the best fragrance around. I order it in bulk!

I really like the way it lathers. It has a very refreshing scent and it doesnt strip my hair. I feel like my hair is much healthier since I have been using it.

It smells amazing!!! Also I have found that it cleans my hair well and lathers great. My stylist told me that my hair looks a lot more healthy too... I totally blame this on the shampoo and conditioner. :)
