Oyin is the Yoruba word for honey so you know we take honey pretty seriously around here -- and for good reason! It's a fabulous moisturizer, conditioner, and toner for both skin and hair. For this all-purpose, luxurious cleansing product, we add a generous dollop of honey's golden goodness to pure, organic castille soap... swirl in organic aloe vera gel and add a few drops of skin-loving oils like jojoba and walnut seed. Head To Toe HoneyWash is a smoothly lathering, moisturizing mild wash for skin, hair, face, or body. Results? Silky smooth skin, smoothly clean hair, happy delicious self. Makes an excellent ultra-moisturizing shampoo. For body, HoneyWash lathers best on a bath poof or loofah. Naturally Preserved. Sweet honey scent.

This can be drying, but it is so nice and gentle. It does spoil, which could cause a prob. for me b/c I am just a big ol' product junkie and I like to rotate and have a Lot of products to do so with. However, this stuff is tops.

Love this stuff. I use it on my hair & face. Will not go back to anything else this is the best. My whole head is happy for the first time in my life. The smell grows on you if you give it a chance.

This product reminds me of a mild Dr. Bronner's. My hair didn't feel stripped after using it. They offer different shampoo scents, so you can choose a smell that suits you. I have the Coco Mango.

Omg! I found the best shampoo for me. I love honey and make my own conditioners with it but wanted to try something knew. I hot this with the conditioner and the frank juice. Awesome. The shampoo is rich and I've been reading review about it smell bad, no it don't. I love it. Before I wash, I spray my hair with a mixture of water, glycerin, jojoba oils and wen sweet almond oil which gives my hair a soft feeling then I apply the shampoo. Amazing outcome.

This is an okay wash but the smell makes me not want to use it. I use it maybe once a week but no more than that because it seems like it really does strip the hair. The smell is really why I won't be buying this again.

I prefer the poo bar. This can also be used oh a loofah as a bodywash which feels great. Not my favorite poo but still nice to have if I run out of the bar.

Firstly the smell. Oh my GOD. Euckhghgh. Terrible. Extremely unappealing. I did try to use it though--made my hair completely tangled and straw like. Its the only product other than baking soda that has ever done that. When I managed to de tangle and condition it was very soft (hence the 2 curls) but it was not for me. Love some of the other Oyin stuff but this was awful for my very fine and thin hair that's porous.

Overall, I like how it hydrates my hair. I did the BC one month ago so I have only tried Giovanni 50/50 products. I like this much better because my hair is soft and moisturized. The smell is a little strong from the hemp but the honey gives a sweet fragrance. Maybe I will try the fig and cedar scent from Oyin later. I would purchase this again and the price is reasonable.

Worked great as a gentle cleanser and body wash. I love the black cedar fig & coco-mango scented one.

I have short mostly 3a hair, but also a mix of 2a-3b, & I love how soft & silky it makes it. it takes out the frizz & keeps moisture so well that all I need is my Diva Dryer & pea sized amount of curl gel & I'm good to go. the back/bottom part of my hair is pretty straight, so the moisture also helps me be able to style it more easily. The only bad part is that it's hard to see foam, so it feels like you need a lot, & my hair does get a bit thick/gunky after too many washes (also makes my blonde a bit brassy), but I fix that by using a regular color-lock shampoo about once a month to get it fresh & fix the color. Even though I use a lot it has lasted me quite a few months as well.

Left my hair squeaky clean (not a good thing because squeaking suggests both buildup and too drying) and my face at my hairline irritated (felt "hot" for hours afterward

Must be shaken before use: consistency of water, difficult to distribute through hair. It made my shoulder-length 3A hair difficult to comb through, thick and straw-like to the touch. It dried soft with a moderate amount of residue around the crown. Does not rinse out clean. On top of all that, the packaging is not waterproof, and the ink from the label will come off all over your hands. Smells a bit like pungent hemp and cinnamon. Not a repurchase.

This was great on my fine frizzy hair, especially in the humid weather we are having now. I felt that I didn't need much conditioner. I still love my Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo, but will use this on alternate days. I used Kinky Curly Knot Today and Quidad Climate Control with it. This all worked great together. I have fought my hair for years and this is great. No frizz without silicones or build-up! For the client who complained about ordering, if you order your products from the Naturally Curly website you never have a problem with anything.
