Shampoo😶‍🌫️

I've tried many (and I do mean many) shampoos in my life. I try to go for clarifying shampoos because of product build-up. I tend to lean more towards hydrating and moisturizing shampoos, though.

Used as needed (about every other month). This is helpful when I have a lot of buildup but don’t want to do a full detox wash!

I believe in sets, a moisturizing conditioner is my favorite thing in the world. I use leave-in between wash days!

I use their leave-in between washes! It’s one of my favorites though a little watery! Don't use so much anymore because I've found better alternatives but am still a fan for cost and performance.
