Reviews
A good shampoo for its claims but I wasn’t blown away. It complements the other Joico products in this line well but I prefer to use my regular texturizing shampoo instead to bring out my natural waves. This would be a good choice for someone willing to try out a new moisturizing shampoo.
I have been using this sample and I do like the smell. Joico is a nice brand and I like how it feels rich and nice on my hair. Paired with the conditioner I have been loving it
I would say this shampoo is quite effective in general and the travel size makes it super easy to carry around. The protective effect works better with the hair mask and I would definitely consider buying it again!
