Shampoo/Conditoner
Honestly, this is better than Olaplex! Coming from a cosmetologist of over 10 years. No other shampoo compares. It leaves your hair SO soft and shiny without weighing it down or stripping it of moisture. I’m obsessed and will never use anything else...
Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo for Color Care & Added Shine
Also better than Olaplex! Just use on your ends when used and if your hair is feeling a little dry you can apply everywhere and it won’t make it oily! Will also never use any other conditioner.
Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner for Color Care & Added Shine
Insanely moisturizing for how lightweight it is? What in the sorcery? Also great if you just had a work out and don’t want to dry out your hair but still want it clean.
be curly advanced™ co-wash
Will NOT make your hair oily or weigh it down but still has great moisture!
Only recommend for after swimming in the pool or ocean followed by a moisturizing conditioner.
