What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Reviewers agree it works well for those with highlighted, bleached, or heat-damaged hair
- Conditioner is consistently praised as thick, moisturizing, and pleasant to use
- Fits easily into a routine as a everyday shampoo and conditioner swap
Reviewers push back
- Several reviewers say it can feel heavy or leave residue, especially on fine hair
- Not effective or necessary for people without damaged or color-treated hair
- Some find it lacking in hydration compared to other lines
