The marketing is honest about cleansing power and silky texture—both strongly supported by reviews—but significantly overstates hydration benefits, especially for dry and bleached hair, where the 3.2/5 score and owner complaints reveal a real gap between promise and performance. Ingredient and sustainability claims remain unverified by the available review data.
All sides but one land high — Holds up — with one check: the hydration duration claim is overstated.

The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
This shampoo ranks third for dry hair but divides users sharply: buyers praise its cleansing and silky finish, yet disagree on whether it truly hydrates, with many reporting persistent dryness despite marketing claims of long-lasting moisture. It works best as a gentle cleanser for those prioritizing texture over deep nourishment.

What owners single out
Review 2 and 6 highlight the product's failure to deliver on hydration for dry/damaged hair, a core claim video reviewers likely emphasized for a luxury haircare line.
In their words
“My favorite line so far! What stands out is the texture... creamy in a way where a little goes a long way and application is a breeze (even with my long hair). It's silky, rich and luxurious! The scent is a soft, musky, citrusy clean, that's refreshing in a way you look forward to and you never really tire of it. And then what strikes me is the performance...”

Hair Strength“Hair that is stronger, healthier, and full of life”Mixed
Reviewers consistently praise cleansing power, silkiness, and texture (4.4–4.5/5), but the claim of overall strength and health is undermined by divided opinions on actual hydration for dry and treated hair.
“it is my very favorite one. Leaves your hair feeling so clean, so soft and so thick. No left over residue and no tangles! I also like the scent of the shampoo.”

Hair Type“Specifically designed for medium to thick hair that is in need of deep hydration and nutrition”Mixed
The product delivers strong cleansing and silkiness (4.4–4.5/5) but fails to reliably hydrate dry and bleached hair, with a 3.2/5 hydration score indicating it does not consistently meet the deep hydration need for this hair type.
