Best shampoo ever

I love this stuff. Only need a tiny amount, and hair is squeaky clean. I use it 1-2x/week with the mask and my hair has never been this healthy.

Best detox shampoo I’ve tried!

Not only does it smell fresh and clean, it makes my hair surprisingly smooth and manageable which is not typical of a charcoal detoxing shampoo. Others have left my hair in knots but with K18’s I can comb through it easily and rinse clean without needing conditioner in prep for the hair mask. I use it about every 3 shampoos or so- will be ordering again!

Suds?

I am having a hard time getting suds with this, but maybe that is the way it is supposed to work.
