Same experience as another reviewer. Left my hair waxy. I asked for a return and customer service offered a new formula. New formula was mildly better than the first, so I again asked for a refund. They told me I was no longer eligible for a refund because I accepted a new formula, but they could send a third formula at my expense. Less than impressed with the commitment to their product and customer service.

I met with a chemist who reviewed my Personal Hair quiz. I was informed that if I don't like my formula it can be adjusted until it's where I want it! They came in 2 8oz size bottles. The smell was a little bit strong for my liking but otherwise fresh. The texture on the shampoo and conditioner was paste like. There wasn't much of a lather but I was informed that my hair may be too oily and need a second wash. The results I received from this shampoo and conditioner after one wash was incredible. My curl pattern immediatly came back and my hair overall felt very hydrated!
Feedback
I think the smell was alittle too strong for me. I probably would have been satisfied with no fragrance.
I tried the trial, and even got a refill, but, honestly, the shampoo ended up more like water and half goes to waste, it really doesn't lather much, and it doesn't seem to touch the buildup or anything else even half so well as the other companies I discovered after - which I also wrote reviews for and recommend far more highly for the price range. As others commented, the scent is also quite strong, and, honestly, though I changed scent requests, I don't think the scent changed at all on my refill.

This is the best custom haircare brand I have come across though they're certainly not perfect. The communication with the team is better and easier and seems to result in more genuinely visible improvements. I feel that they have been worth the money so far but will only continue buying them if I see continued improvement over the next 12 months.
