Reviews
I am constantly trying to damage control shampoos as I have been growing out my hair and refuse to cut it after 3 years (shaved my head). This shampoo is amazing my hair was extremely soft and tangle free just using the shampoo. I suggest using the entire line as it’s absolutely amazing! Even for those with oily hair after hours my hair still wasn’t greasy.
I got the chance to try the Joico Day Damage Protective Shampoo thanks to Chickadvisor! This shampoo did not leave my hair feeling dry – I barely felt like I needed a conditioner to go with it! With damaged hair like mine (bleached and toned) that rarely happens – I always need to use a conditioner to make my hair tangle-free.
I’ve tried many shampoos before in the past and while i love the feminine scent of it it doesn’t seem that unique. Thank you for chickadvisor for sending me a deluxe size of this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
