Curlsmith Essential Shampoo & Frizz Duo Conditione
"I really liked how moisturized my hair felt after using these products. My hair usually feels very dry and almost hay-like, but after using the shampoo and conditioner, it felt softer, smoother, and didn’t feel as dry even after it dried."
Moisturizing
"I used this when I washed more frequently in the summer so as not to dry out my hair from a stronger shampoo. It works well -- moisturizing and not stripping."
Nice shampoo.
