I really wanted to like this but my 3A hair has been going through a lot of changes due to environmental and aging factors so it might just not be the right time - this shampoo with only two or three uses (spaced about a week to two apart) was making me shed way more than normal and left a strange texture on my hair, like a sliminess or oiliness that meant I needed to either use a second shampoo to get that off, which seems to defeat the purpose, or just have my hair texture be kind of gross for a day or two while my natural hair oils were able to recover. ...This is hands down the best clarifying shampoo I've ever used.
