It isn't easy being curly
-05.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, good for daily use
After trying dozens of shampoos to help my curly, this Bumble and Bumble works very well. It helps with frizz, too.

Not that great
-05.08.13
Quick Take: pretty standard
I didn't think this shampoo and its matching conditioner were anything to get excited about. Definitely average.

Good, but made me breakout
-02.22.13
I have never, in my life, had a shampoo break me out before till I tried this. I used this for about a month or so and I started noticing breakouts on my back, lower back, forehead, and shoulders (all the places my hair would be on the most.) I could not figure out what it was. Finally when I ran out of product I tried out another shampoo and I stopped using this. The second I did that my breakouts went away. I'm not going to give this shampoo a poor review because I absolutely loved how frizz-free my hair was and the only downside to this was that it did leave a lot of buildup so at the end of the week I would have to use a clarifying shampoo. It's a good product but its not for me. I'm using Ojon's "Dry Recovery" Shampoo and conditioner and it gives me the same result without irritating my skin.

Quick Take: hydrating, eliminates frizz, leaves no build up
I love this shampoo! Best I've tried. Bumble and Bumble's curl conscious line works really well for my wavy/curly dry, thick hair. It smells soooo good also. I give it 4 stars though because its quite pricey, and other brands work almost as well (Ouidad for example). If price doesn't deter you though, I would definitely give it a shot.

Effective and Exceeds Expectations
-12.20.12
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, curl-enhancing
I have very curly hair with weird wavy and straight bits thrown in. I bought this shampoo three weeks ago, and I am in love! It does exactly everything it claims to do on the bottle. My hair has less frizziness and more of a defined curl, even with the air-dry technique. I shampoo my hair once every two days to reduce oiliness and hair loss, and the effect every two days is magical. I find myself looking forward to shampooing my hair just to get that shiny, bouncy curl I have come to love so much. I will definitely buy this product again!

One of the best shampoos I've ever used!
-09.10.12
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use
I have thick, longer, wavy, generally unmanageable color-treated hair that I wear curly a lot of time, since straightening and drying it is hard on it and takes so much time. This shampoo (which I use with the Curl Conscious Conditioner and the Creme) is amazing. It's lightweight, and I feel like it really gets my hair clean without stripping it. My hair is actually curly, and requires very little work, with this combo.

Excellent shampoo
-07.22.12
Quick Take: hydrating, good for daily use
This shampoo is great for wavy hair. It also smells very pleasant. A lot of shampoos that I have used in the past don't smell like much or smell too herbal or chemical. This smells more flowery and light, but not too strong.
It's not difficult to rinse out, and it leaves hair clean without stripping it. I find that it helps with my frizz and leaves hair much softer than any other shampoo that i've tried recently.

Perfect for fine curly hair
-07.18.12
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use
This product, along with the conditioner and the styling cream, is one of the best products I've found for fine curly hair. The cream in particular is fabulous. You could likely use any shampoo and conditioner but the styling cream is the trick that really works.

Controls & clea naturally curly hair like a dream!
-05.26.12
Quick Take: smoothing, good for daily use
This shampoo thoroughly cleanses, but does not dry out or strip my hair. As we curly-haired girls know, that is a tough combo to find. I workout at the gym 6x/week & get pretty sweaty so skipping a shampoo is definitely not an option. Other shampoos have either dried out my hair or have not cleaned my scalp when used on a daily basis. This shampoo is perfect and helps control the frizzies! Don't forget the conditioner too :)

Disappointed
-04.06.12
I am a Ouidad girl, but was getting a little tired of the same old, same old. I read the reviews of this Shampoo and was really excited to try it and here is what I found: Not old did it NOT smooth my curls, it made my curls less defined and super frizzy... like a fuzz head, It smelled good and felt good in the shower, but that was not what I paid big bucks for. I have naturally wavy/curly hair and little time in the morning to do anything extra or fancy to my hair. Sad that this didn't live up to my easy, maintenance-free, curl smoothing expectations. Back to my beloved Ouidad.

Great for one use, disappointing in the long run.
-03.04.12
Quick Take: gentle, foamy
The shampoo is very gentle but still does a decent job cleansing hair. Together with the matching conditioner, it helped smooth down my curly and frizzy-prone hair after the first few uses. After about 6 uses though, I found that the products left a lot of build-up which made my fine hair extremely coarse and weighed down my curls. Works great as a one-time pick-me-up but not as a regular shampoo/conditioner regimen.

Sooooo soft!
-02.17.12
Quick Take: foamy, good for daily use, gentle
My hair is so incredibly soft after I use the curl conscious shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately I've been a bit too lazy to diffuse my hair lately, but when I have it seems to be light weight and frizz-free.

Quick Take: foamy, good for daily use, gentle
I really like the way the Curl Conscious products smell. I also like the shampoo and conditioner, and I think it helps with natural curls. I am not sure if I will buy again due to cost and small size of bottle though.

This shampoo is ok. It is not as foamy as other ones I have used. I do have colored hair and it does not strip the color so I am happy about that.
