Completely Changed My Daughter's Hair
"As the stick-straight-haired mom of a curly-top daughter, taking care of her hair has not been intuitive for me. I credit Sammy Feldman / stylezbysammyy on Instagram for recommending Water Works. I've tried all different types of moisturizing and clarifying products (some at very high price points) over the years, but my daughter's hair still felt dry and looked frizzy a day or two after washing. Water Works and the rest of the Curl Detox products completely changed that. It's like the buildup of all those other products was finally removed and her hair could actually absorb water and moisturizer. Now, her curls are shiny, bouncy, and soft--even several days after washing. I highly recommend the Curl Detox products--and especially Water Works--to anyone with similar curl challenges."
Works better than the more expensive lines
"After trying Water Works for the first time, I'm back to repurchase this shampoo and set up a subscription. My home has very hard water, and this has made more of a difference than any other clarifying or chelating shampoo I've tried, including some that cost much more than this one. My shoulder length hair only needs a small amount of this once or twice a week, and it's very gentle to hair despite working so well. A keeper for sure!"
Genuinely Magical
"Got this shampoo to help with buildup, and the day after using it once, my curls looked and felt the best they ever have."
Residue Free!
"I had stopped using a deep conditioner for a while because I just don't like the heavy, waxy, limp feeling they often leave behind. This one doesn't do that--it treats dryness without leaving a film."
My favorite!
"My favorite Ouidad product! I've tried quite a few over the years, and this is the one that keeps me coming back to the brand. I use this once a week in the winter and twice a week in the summer."
"I bave 3c curly hair. This is perfect for a weekly mask as it aiftems and defines the curls."
"If you have hard water, you will notice a difference with one use!"
Moisture Lock - love it
"Hydrates very well and conditions nicely"
Great scent
"This shampoo smells good and cleans well. My hair felt clean, soft, and very defined before adding the mask. A little goes a long way for my fine medium-density hair."
