I used to love this shampoo until I realized the formula changed. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it until I just recently used it & my scalp started to burn immediately. I literally have red sores on my scalp. I’m so tired of these hair companies & their shenanigans with formula changes. As soon as consumers find something they like, they go & mess it up. Quit trying to fix what isn’t broken!

I purchased Shea Moisture products to AVOID harmful ingredients. Well, was I wrong!!! Now the "new formulation" adds polyquaternium-10, polysorbates, amd other toxic ingredients. These ingredients are horrible for your health and safety. They cause me to have severe skin irritations, and systemic allergic reactions. Sad to say, but Shea Moisture has really gone against what I thought they stood for. Don't buy these new formulations if you value your health, wellness, and safety!!!

I had to read the reviews before I wrote mine and I have been holding back for months. Been using this shampoo for more than three years and boy did the formula change. There's no sort of lather and my hair never feels clean when I wash it, it always feels like there's still buildup on my hair. I also noticed breakouts on my scalp and shedding of my hair. Most of all, I noticed when the shampoo is done how many particles are left in the bottle unlike before. It also seems to stain shower curtains etc. I will most likely throw out the few bottles I have left and I won't repurchase.

I've spent yearsss trying to find the perfect shampoo and this shampoo WAS the one. I've used it for years and raved about it to anyone who would listen. It moisturized my dyed hair, permed hair, you name it. But with the new formulation, the shampoo has gone completely wayward. My scalp gets oily very quickly and I'm getting dandruff!!! Please please return it to the old formula. Please

Useless New Formulation

D - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I should have read the other reviews before repurchasing. This use to be my favorite shampoo out of all of them in my rotation. It left my scalp so clean, but not stripped. I have long hair and this made it less weighed down at the roots due to how cleansing it was. No build up and was one of few that stopped flaking. Not anymore. The new formula is the complete OPPOSITE. Does not cleanse, creates terrible build up. Literally, useless. I’m so disheartened. I contacted the company who confirmed the formula changed. They offered condolences and a coupon, which I haven’t even received.

It smelled amazing but I guess there was a formula change and using it on my straight hair was not the move. It felt waxy, and stiff, and I couldn’t stand the feel. Doesn’t mean it won’t work for curly hair!

Delaney C - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
As a newcomer to this shampoo, I can't say whether the old or new formula is better. I can, however, say that I am impressed by the results using the current formula. The shampoo has a pleasant, floral and herbal scent and a rich, fine lather that felt great on the scalp. After washing, I let my hair air dry after scrunching and plopping with a microfiber towel as usual. My fine and naturally curly hair dries smooth and feels totally light and clean after using this shampoo. The first time I used it, people thought I had gotten a haircut and a professional blowout! A bit pricey for the amount in the bottle but still worth it for the results.

I’ve used this shampoo as well as the conditioner since before the new fomula and i used to love it. I would leave my hair so clean, smooth, and soft. Now, It leaves so much buildup my scalp feels disgusting no matter how many times I wash it. Also makes my scalp extremely itchy.

I have type 2C curly hair. I never cared particularly for the health of my hair, but one day I decided to "splurge" and buy this Shampoo and it's matching Conditioner. It has worked wonders on my hair! My hair doesn't tangle as badly as it did before, my hair feels softer, it absorbs water easier, and my hair dries more evenly. I will definitely keep using this!
