What reviewers say

Hydrate Shampoo
across 5 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Concentrated formula lathers richly with a small amount of product
  • Effectively hydrates without leaving hair heavy or weighed down
  • Sulfate-free yet cleans thoroughly, including oily scalps
Reviewers push back
  • Strong minty or menthol fragrance is pronounced and may irritate those sensitive to scent
  • Shampoo has a very runny consistency that some reviewers found unexpected
  • Fragrance is present and not removable; pureology uses it across the range
Reviewers broadly agree that Pureology Hydrate delivers genuine moisture and a clean lather without weighing hair down, with fragrance sensitivity being the main caveat.
— best for: Best suited to people with normal to thick, dry, or color-treated hair who want a concentrated, sulfate-free shampoo that hydrates without buildup.

I’ve been using this Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density for a few months and honestly it’s become a staple in my hair routine. The texture is super lightweight and absorbs quickly into the scalp without making my hair greasy, which I really love. With consistent use, I’ve noticed my hair feels thicker and healthier and I’ve even seen a bit of new baby hair growth around my hairline. Some people Linetee · deciem.com
