Very watery, but liked the smell. Very gentle, but you need to use a lot.

Love this light, moisturizing shampoo! The smell is fantastic, too.

I'm torn...This is one of the only low poos that does not irritate my scalp or make my hair dry...But I need so much of it because it is so thin (at least 3 quarter size puddles). And it doesn't seem to lather that much. I think I will keep it in rotation, but it would be too expensive to just use this as my low poo.

smells so awful that i actually think i must have gotten a bad batch - it was that bad. I don't have a sensitive nose at all, but...i had to use another shampoo because i didn't want my hair smelling like that. Yes, the product is very watery, which makes pouring it (wasting it) in you hand not a good idea. I can't say it lathered up all that well, but it did clean my hair...i mean, ALL shampoos clean my hair. Don't recommend it.

Sorry, but...Yuck! It made my hair feel rough and left a gunky, oily residue on my hair and bathtub that took a couple days to wash out completely. I had to use quite a bit in order to cover all of my thick hair and the smell is just too strong. The positive side is that did make my hair shiny and there were no squeaks. I LOVE the CJ Daily Fix Cleansing Conditioner, but this was a disappointment.

Did not like at all. Very runny and my hair felt like straw and was rough after use. Glad I only bought a sample packet. Will not puchase the full size.

This is a very nice and very gentle shampoo. It contains no SLS. It has a very floral smell-which you will either love, hate, or grow to appreciate. It does an outstanding job at cleaning your hair. Wavies (as opposed to curlies) often need a good low poo to keep their hair from being limp, greasy, or flat. Not all wavies low-poo or poo but for those that do this is an excellent choice. It is very runny--which makes it easier to distribute but, if you are not careful, that will include distributing it through your hands to the bottom of the tub/shower as well. My advice: use it in small amounts-no more than a dime. If you need more add just another dime worth. It works best to do this in sections on your hair--if you don't section your hair off then just use it on the back, front, and each side each time using a minimal amount. This gets all your hair without the problem of it running through your hands. My daughter loves this shampoo and the smell as well--it cleans her hair that is prone to build up very well. Her hair we have to section to wash and because this is runnier we can get it down to her scalp through her thick and dense strands. Those of you with thicker or more dense hair will appreciate this shampoo's liquidity!

OK, my hair is past my shoulders so it was hard to really get a good amount and feel like it was cleaning. I do love the smell and the lightness. however, I liked the conditioner more than the gentle shampoo. I felt like I used more and applied it more times than other shampoos.

I love this shampoo. I was unsure when I first poured it in my hand, because it is really light - like water. It distributes really easily and does suds up. You don't need alot. It smells fantastic and cleans without stripping your hair. Will definitely repurchase.
