Buyers' weakest aspect—scalp cleansing power—aligns with the product's heavy, moisturizing formula that some find too rich for effective cleansing.

In their words

So I’ve been bleaching my hair for the past couple of years, and of course my hair felt dry and damaged. I’ve tried multiple shampoos and could not get the right one, until now. Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair is fantastic! It’s truly makes your hair feel live right after first wash. After using this shampoo for some time it definitely made a change. My hair looks healthy, shiny and smooth!

Inna K · verified purchase · influenster.com

I really wanted to like this one but I was disappointed after trying this for a month. I have oily fine hair and after washing my hair with this line of briogeo my hair would end up at the end of the day like I wouldn’t have washed my hair, I’m gonna highlight that my hair was soft and the shampoo itself has a good smell.
