Briogeo is one of my favorite hair care lines. I love that their products are made in the USA and are at least 95% natural, containing no sulfates, parabens, silicones, and always have blends of natural plant and fruit extracts, oils, antioxidants and vitamins to truly help improve the look and feel of the hair. I did a review of their original shampoo, conditioners and mask here.
When I found out the brand was releasing three NEW products, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them and in my hair. What excited me most is all three of these new products would have been “wish” products I would have personally wanted the brand to release! It’s almost as if they read my mind!
All three products have that DELICIOUS, uplifting signature Briogeo smell–not overwhelming, too strong or synthetic, just fresh and clean. I can’t pinpoint the exact scent of these products but I know when I smell it, it makes me feel happy.

I only have one complaint, I’d like a bigger bottle please.
What I say: I’d like a bigger bottle PLEASE. I had a feeling this co-wash and my hair were going to get along when I saw shea, aloe AND quinoa were main ingredients. My tresses like all three of those for their moisturizing and reparative properties. (Quinoa is a plant source of protein”> After using it a few times now, this is one of my favorite co-washes! My hair felt clean but moisturized and soft. What I noticed more than anything is when I rinsed this, before even applying a conditioner, my hair had a noticeable amount of added shine!! Shine?! From a cleansing product?!? Yes!! It also helps detangle my hair so much so the conditioning detangling process time after was cut down by more than half. The one not so wonderful thing is I do use up quite a bit each time because I am not using this cleanser only on my scalp but on the length of my hair as well. But keep in mind, I also happen to have long, dry hair that soaks up product like crazy. I am growing to love co-washes more as of late because a new workout routine has me washing my hair more often per week than I was. Co-washes like this one help ensure my hair does not get dried out from all the washing. I like to massage it in my scalp and leave it on my hair a few minutes so my scalp and hair can absorb the great ingredients inside. I suggest this co-wash for all hair types. This has earned a permanent spot in my product junkie stash.
