Overview

Daily hair washers get a mild, creamy shampoo with amino acids, coconut oil and wheat protein that cleanses while helping hair hold moisture. It lathers into a light foam with a soft coconut scent.

Softness and body without heaviness come from a silicone free formula that still conditions. Very oily scalps or heavy styling product users may need a stronger clarifying wash at times.

Who it's for

Dry or normal hair washed often suits the mild formula. Those with a wheat protein sensitivity should check ingredients first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Gentle enough for daily washing
  • Silicone and paraben free
  • Adds body and shine
  • Light coconut scent
Cons
  • Mild for heavy build-up
  • Contains wheat protein
  • Brand pairs it with its own conditioner

Performance notes

Amino acid based cleansers lift dirt gently and leave fewer residues, so hair stays soft and lifted rather than coated. Coconut oil fatty acids and wheat protein add moisture and strength. Massaging into a full lather before rinsing ensures the scalp is cleaned evenly.
