"Scent is great, not too intense. Smells salon-fresh. Thought both might be too heavy for my fine, thick hair but they wash and rinse beautifully. Doesn’t weigh my hair down either. I wish they made a hair spray!"

Shampoo and Conditioner
"Purchased for my daughter to use after dying her hair the color Steal my Sunshine. She loves the smell of the products and the way it makes her hair feel."
great smell
"i love the smell on these. both of these are great, my only complaint is that the product is a bit thick so i have to make sure to really lather it in my hands before applying otherwise it all sticks in one spot and doesn't spread super well. other than that, my hair feels great and smells amazing"

"Made my hair so soft"
"The color didn't really last long using this"
"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!!"
