Aloe Grapefruit Clarifiying Shampoo gently removes product buildup and environmental residue from scalp and hair, restoring movement and shine. The accumulation of products on kinky, curly and wavy hair can weigh it down. In extreme cases, this congestion can cause a dry, flaky scalp.This formula combines soothing aloe with clarifying grapefruit and mild cleansers to clarify and decongest hair, without stripping the scalp of natural oils.

Cleaned the buildup, and my hair felt moisturized, however, it left my hair limp and curls stringy! I think if your hair likes oil this would work, but it definitely left mine gross! At least I got mine on clearance so I'm not out the $20 it costs normally!

Like another reviewer, I received a sample of this with an order. At the time I was a new natural experiencing an EXTREMELY itchy scalp due to product build up & over-moisturizing with good products (Oyin Honey Hemp- but my fault, not Oyin's). I tried shampooing with my regular Elucence moisture balance, I tried ORS Aloe shampoo, and Sauve Clarifying, all to no avail- my hair was stripped, and my scalp still felt dirty and itchy. Finally, I tried that little sample pack of Hair Rules Grapefruit, and it work wonders- my hair was clean, somehow slightly re-hydrated, smelled great, and my scalp problem had vanished. I'm so glad I received the right product at the right time. Thanks, Curlmart! I just wish it wasn't so expensive!

It's ok. It clarifies and cleans everything out. Nice smell. I'd use it sparingly... not every week, once a month maybe. I've used others that were less stripping

Heard so much about this shampoo but I wasn't really impressed by its work. My hair still felt a bit oily after using it. I had to wash my hair 4 times to get that clean feeling. Not so crazy over hair rules products.

I use this once a month on my 3C/4A hair. It's pleasant to use and nondrying. I would give it five stars but for the price.

This is a good clarifying shampoo that I use once a month. It cleans my hair well and does not strip my hair dry. However, I would not suggest using this for regular weekly or bi-weekly shampooing on type 4 hair. It could be a little harsh if used that often. A moisturizing shampoo with shea butter or regular co-washing is your best bet.

I used a sample that was included in one of my naturallycurly shipments and gave this a shot. It was by far one of the best clarifying shampoos on the market! A little too pricey for me to purchase but the sample did cleanse my hair very well.

I was worried about the sound of this shampoo; "grapefruit clarifying". I thought it'd be stripping, matting, tangling, etc. And though it was clear, thick & citrus scented (to me this means the above worries), it was a very moisturizing shampoo. I felt like I didn't need to use a deep treatment or daily rinse-out conditioner after it! I was fooled.

It has a light, refreshing smell, but that's about it. I found it very harsh and drying.

A good clarifying poo. Instructions said to use 1-2x/month, and I think it would be effective at that usage but too drying for a regular use poo.
