Finding the right shampoo and conditioner has been a journey for me — here’s an honest look at some of the products I’ve tried over the years. Hope you find this helpful!
This shampoo has a nice fragrance and lathers well. However, it leaves my hair feeling dry, and it is not effective against dandruff.
