Reviews

"The color didn't really last long using this"

Neliel (3/5)

Truly Essential

"I will never buy any other shampoo or conditioner for my colored hair! It lathers really well, which is generally good, but a little difficult to get out with locs. My hair feels softer than before I bleached and dyed my hair, my curl pattern has stayed the same or even improved, and my hair smells amazing for days and days after using this combo. I didn't notice the color of my hair changing that much after washes either."

Vanessa C. (5/5)

Best hair care product

"The feeling of the shampoo and conditioner is flawless, the smell is absolutely gorgeous . No suds either which is always a huge plus!, hair always feels amazing after it."

Melissa B. (5/5)

GDY Wash is my new fav

"Wash is the greatest smelling shampoo I’ve ever used!!! I am absolutely obsessed."

"Love this brand and got a little gift in my purchase!"

Shawn (5/5)

Never too late

"It’s never too late to do what you want. Go crazy. Make mistakes. Dye your hair. Have fun. Maybe I’m just a sucker for capitalism and genius marketing. I haven’t a good track record for doing my hair at home (I’m approaching 38 years around the sun this September) The Streaks and Strands Lightening Kit paired with the copper color deposit was the perfect combo for me. My hair is softer and a vibrant copper color. Some days when I feel like people are noticing me because of my bold hair color choice, I feel like a god damn rockstar. Other days I wonder if it’s just the color itself. I choose 99% of the time the former. Hair color doesn’t make the rockstar, but when you already feel like one why not go all the way!"

Samantha K. (5/5)

Nice feel and scent

"My daughter loves this shampoo and conditioner. So far her hair feels pretty good given the bleach and color process it's been thru. We used Good Dye Young to color her hair as well and are pleased with how it turned out."
