   After a few weeks with this, my hair feels amazing. I don’t use it every day, but a few times a week. My crispy ends feel great and look good too. It’s been rather humid here and my hair isn’t frizzing, even if I skip the flat iron. I’ll never be without this.
   ———-

   I’ve been coloring my hair since I was 13 and found Sun In. I’m now 50, dropped out of beauty school along the way, but won’t let anyone do my color. I’ve had stubborn grays since my 20s and now have some serious dalt and pepper hair. I’ve been every color from blonde to black, and have out my natural medium-dark hair through the wringer more than once. Currently it’s mid back length and jet black, some waves and curls, long layers. I love it. I use a hair dryer and flat iron most days, and wash almost daily because if I don’t my scalp breaks out. Whew. Now that we’ve met, let me tell you why I picked this up on a BOGO50 at Walgreens…

   I research what goes into my hair. I’m also on a budget. And I hate shopping. So I’d rather just the drug store or Target than Ulta for my beauty needs. I use very few high end products because they’re out of my pay grade. The challenges with black hair is that it hates the sun, which is a problem because I don’t, especially in the summer. I use a hair dryer almost daily, and a few swipes of a flat iron not for stick straight hair, but to calm waves and frizz. I don’t pass over a section more than twice. I use leave in conditioners and serums, and I also use a clarify shampoo a few times a month to allow my products to work better. Having said that, I know that keratin can be detrimental sometimes, and really avoid using any at all costs, minimal at best. Too much and your hair breaks and becomes dry and brittle. But I recently noticed my ends being very dry and crispy. I upped my cowashing, wore my hair up more and shampooed less. It didn’t help. I knew it was time for serious help.

   I figured I had nothing to lose with a keratin treatment at this point. I picked up a packet of some other product at Walmart for $1.50, and really liked the results. I got this set the next day at Walgreens and gave used it twice now. Again, I’m not looking for pin straight, just healtheir ends and calming frizz and flyaways. The scent is nice and beachy. The conditoner is a nice thick formula and a little goes a long way. Same with the shampoo. After two uses, adding a few spritzes of a leave in and the Organix Coconut milk serum at my ends (I already that this one), I dried on warm heat without a nozzle till about 90%, then on hot with the attachment and a brush. Again, wasn’t looking for miracle results, but was pleasantly surprised that my crunchy ends feel better. I still have a lot of body and volume and still need the flat iron, but my hair looks and feels shiny. No tangle issues here.

   Definitely would buy again.

   I have very dry hair, and this combo works great for me, even though it is supposed to be a straightening agent (of some sort)? The shampoo is luxurious and does not strip my hair. The conditioner is thick and condensed. I have naturally beachy waves, and this combo does not suppress or remove the waves or body. I have less frizz on the days I use this combo. I love the nutty chocolately smell. Above all, neither product dries out my hair.

   I co-wash every other day with GVP’s conditioning balm and the 10 minute miracle hair mask (from Sally’s Beauty Supply). The days I want shampoo I use this Organix combo.

   If you have dry hair, don’t be afraid to try this combo. It may work for you, like it did for me.

   I really like the scent of this shampoo and conditioner.
   It smells like cocoa butter.
   This shampoo cleanses well and does help a with my frizzy hair.
   It does not strip my hair and does not irritate my scalp.
   What I love most, other than the scent, is that my hair did seem to look healthier with continued use and I noticed a lot less fall out in the shower as well as my dry, itchy scalp was not as angry.
   Both the shampoo and conditioner together left my hair clean and soft.
   Will I purchase again?
   I am not too sure, if I do it will only be the large bottles and only if I can find them on sale.
   It did help with the frizz more so than other smoothing shampoos and conditioners have but it was not so significant to win me over completely. I wish I would have been able to find their matching flat iron spray to use along with them to see if that helped more but I could not find it.
   I am also not the biggest fan of the bottles, I do like the cute shape to look at but I find them hair to squeeze out the thick formula.

   One of the only shampoos that works for my hair. Makes my hair softer and shinier for 2-3 days until I wash it again. I took this on holiday with me and my friend borrowed it, she loved it too. Other shampoos from supermarket make my hair feel stripped of moisture and straw-like. A hairdresser told me to avoid shampoo with sodium laureth sulfate, as it strips your hair of moisture, so possibly this Organix shampoo doesn’t contain that, although I’m not sure.

   It is quite expensive though compared to other supermarket shampoos, especially if you’re buying the shampoo and conditioner together.

   I normally don’t right too many reviews, but I felt this one really needed some honest feedback. When I first started using this shampoo I was hooked and it really seemed to work well for me. I have very dry thin and brittle hair so I was looking for a sulfate-free product that would help tame my hair. Sulfate-free, yes. Taming, not so much. It leaves my already quite dry and somewhat damaged looking hair just the same. In other words, not much change. Will probably not buy again when I run out of my supply.

   LOVE this! The shampoo is ridiculously thick – you only need the tiniest bit and mix it with water. My scalp is oily and prone to itchy, painful bumps which have totally gone since I have been using this shampoo and conditioner (alternating with the Anti-Breakage Keratin Oil products from OGX as well). My hair is damaged, baby fine and very porous. Normally I need at least twice as much conditioner as I do shampoo. Not the case with this stuff. If you can imagine it’s more like a body butter than a body lotion, you’re getting the idea of how thick and creamy it is. I really didn’t think this was going to be great with my hair. Meanwhile, I use about half a teaspoon of the conditioner and it is more than enough to massage through from my ears down to the tips. (I never do my roots) Because it’s so thick, it stays on your hands, which gives more control of application. I’m not crazy about the smell – it’s sweet and nutty – almost chocolatey. I’m sure lots of people would love that, though. The end result is hair that is surprisingly full, soft and silky. I’m hooked.

   I was so excited to try this shampoo and the conditioner as I’ve heard so much about this brand and my mom adores it (and she normally uses Pureology). But this was worse than useless for me.

   The hair right above my neck felt like it had a film over it, not greasy but like the conditioner never washed out. And the rest of my hair was not smooth or soft, it was almost frizzy, dry, unruly.

   I refused to believe it was this stuff but after reading the lowest reviews on Ulta and seeing that others were having the same complaints I decided to dump this shampoo and conditioner.

   I am a big fan of the Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy conditioner. So when I began hunting for the perfect shampoo, this caught my interest. It is sulfate free after all and has several beneficial ingredients for damaged hair.

   However…this shampoo feels harsh on my hair. It’s very stripping. I went 4 days without washing my (naturally) oily scalp and it left my hair very, very dry at the roots. I even followed up with a deep conditioning mask tonight thinking the outcome would be different. Nope. My hair is very frizzy and dry at the moment.

   The search for a moisturizing shampoo goes on!

    I loooove this shampoo so much. In fact it’s my favorite “keratin protein shampoo”. I use it in the 3 step (shampoo, conditioner + spray oil) and it does wonders for my frizzy, dyed relatively dry hair! I do not use this combo every time I wash my hair but only once a week and the rest of the time use the argan oil shampoo + conditioner by the same line, AG Silver shampoo & the 3 minute miracle by aussie to keep my hair nice. My routine is as follower:

    Keratin Shampoo + Conditioner (& 3 minute miracle if I don’t feel I have moisture)
    On wet hair I put in my Kerastase Leave in for blowdrying. Wait 2 mins & put in the keratin oil from the same line. Blow dry halfway & put in my Alterna Caviar CC Cream. Blow dry fully & then put in some more Alterna + the sea spray shine from organix. This routine makes my hair so soft and beautiful but again I firmly believe you shouldn’t be using this shampoo +conditioner combo everytime you wash. My only complaint would be the price (12 CAD) but it does come one sale often.
