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

I have long fine hair with 1 row of extensions for volume. This shampoo and conditioner set is amazing! It keeps both my hair and the extension hair soft, smooth, and shiny.

I would like to credit this line because it cleans and conditions very well, giving me a great Tia · ulta.com
