I love this shampoo refill for keeping my hair happy and healthy while cutting down on plastic. From the first wash my hair feels softer, smoother and full of life without ever feeling weighed down. The amino acids and hydrolysed wheat protein really help keep moisture locked in, while the fairly traded coconut oil adds a subtle shine and silky finish. It leaves my fine hair feeling light, bouncy SimplyHilary · spacenk.com

I noticed a difference after the first wash. My hair felt clean without being stripped, and my curls were soft and bouncy. The scent smells amazing and lasts. It also pairs the best with the conditioner. LaTaraKay · walmart.com
