What owners single out
The detangling weakness noted by buyers (review 2) aligns with the shampoo's lower slip rating despite containing oils.
In their words
“One of the best shampoos I have ever tried. My hair is fine, thin, frizzy and dry but I have an oily scalp. Basically the worst of everything! Somehow this shampoo helps everything even out so that my hair is soft, shiny, smooth, detangled and flowy. My hair just feels SO healthy with this shampoo. It’s buttery soft. The smell is wonderful too.”

“This line was recommended by a friend so I tried the shampoo and conditioner. Love the conditioner but the shampoo is not my favorite. Smells nice, lathers well but I expected some slip since it contains honey and oil. It seemed to tangle my daughter's hair up more during washing which I was not a fan of. When mixed with some of the condioner it seemed to do better.”
