good for clarifying but questionable ingredients [SEP] i have color treated hair that i have been dying for about years now and i have to really maintain it to keep it healthy and looking smooth i learned some time ago how much better my hair looks when i use argan oil treatments and would do them once a week or so to make my hair super soft and pretty i started using shampoos and conditioners with argan oil when i saw how well my hair responded to it some brands left my hair feeling heavy and oily so i really wanted to find a good clarifying shampoo i started with just a little bit so i could gauge how it would work for me but once i lathered it up in my hair i realized how much a little bit can cover i do not need nearly as much as i do of most other brands i washed it that night and followed it up with my regular conditioner another argan product my hair felt really clean i have a lot of hair and at the top i couldnt feel the heaviness and resistance i had been from over moisturizing the smell was ok i like something that is stronger and prettier this one just kind of smelled like soap and it faded quickly after it was dry as long as my conditioner smells good i do not mind it too much but if you are planning to use it alone you might notice i think it worked well for getting it clean without leaving it dry or feeling like straw i do not feel like my hair is as soft as with most argan oil shampoos at all but i think it will be a good one to use intermittently to clear the buildup from all of my oil rich productsi was surprised and disappointed at the ingredients list when i looked from a company called instanatural that boasts this as a holistic treatment i did not expect to see so many chemicals i would have preferred more familiar ingredients and natural obviously argan oil is not even listed until the second to last ingredient i like how it worked but i am not sure how hard it would be on my hair if i used it regularlyi did receive my shampoo at a promotional price for testing and evaluation purposes i was not paid for my review and was asked only to provide whatever feedback i may have about the product whether it be positive or negative i welcome both positive or negative feedback as well my review is solely based on my experience and honest opinions of this shampoo
