Reviews
"I have been waiting for this set to come back in stock for 5ever! I’ve loved the conditioner the entire time I’ve been using it. I’ve been using it since February 2026. The shampoo is even BETTER. I can see why it has been out of stock! My natural hair color is raven black. I’m a light golden blonde right now. This has taken SUCH good care of it. You cannot tell i do a bleach wash on my hair every month and tone to keep the orange/brass out of my hair. It helps that i rarely put heat in it as well and wash it every 5-7 days. 10/10 highly recommend!!"
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."
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."
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!"
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!"
