What owners single out
Review 2 highlights the bottle's poor squeeze design and broken caps, echoing concerns about product usability that video reviewers may have flagged.
In their words
“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 · verified purchase · walmart.com
“LOVE the smell, the texture, and how nice my hair feels after using both shampoo and conditioner. The scent stays for ages! HOWEVER: the bottle is AWFUL! It’s super hard to squeeze, the cap has broken off every bottle I’ve bought, and the amount of wastage from the product being stuck in the bottle is extremely frustrating that I almost don’t want to buy it for this reason!”
