Frequently asked

What buyers want to know.

  • What is Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Super Moisture Shampoo best for?

    It's designed for dry and damaged hair. The shampoo contains shea butter, coconut oil, and algae to replenish moisture and help prevent future damage. Buyers rate its moisturizing power and softness highest, with many reporting their hair feels healthier and shinier after consistent use.

  • Does this shampoo work well for fine or oily hair?

    It divides on this. Buyers with fine or oily hair rate it poorly for their needs, reporting that it can leave hair feeling weighed down or greasy by day's end. Despite the softness it provides, the formula appears too heavy for these hair types.

  • How well does this shampoo clean the scalp?

    Buyers rate scalp cleansing as its weakest area, giving it a 3.2 out of 5. It excels at moisture and softness but is not known for strong cleansing power.

  • Does this shampoo weigh down your hair?

    Reviewers note it is ultra-nourishing without weighing down lengths, so it should work for those wanting heavy moisture without heaviness. However, buyers with fine or oily hair report it does feel heavy on their hair types specifically.

  • What makes this shampoo different from a basic moisturizing shampoo?

    It contains argan oil and seaweed extract as core ingredients alongside shea butter and coconut oil. The formula is designed to both replenish damaged hair and prevent future breakage, not just add temporary moisture.
