Function of Beauty Reviews

3.1

Function of Beauty earns polarized reviews: while customization, scents, and sleek packaging delight many, the formulas often perform like standard shampoos and can leave hair greasy, dry, or even shedding—so the brand is inconsistent rather than reliably good. Reviews also praise detangling conditioners and defined curls for some hair types, but cite overpowering/artificial fragrances, residue and build‑up, weak moisturization for textured hair, and faulty pumps or short straws as recurring drawbacks.

  • I tried function of beauty earlier this year and was actually impressed by its value for price! I’m not too sure whether the add ons actually make a difference but the shampoo itself was good! The value for price is great and I did like the packaging as well!

  • While i love the product and think it can do wonderful things for your hair I do find it inconvenient that you cannot just walk to the store and pick some up.

  • I do nottttt like this shampoo. I bought the Bond Repair Custom Shampoo for Wavy, Damaged Hair from Sephora during a sale, so I got it for $12 (11oz size) instead of $24. I also added Frizz Genius, Color Savior, and Moisture Shot concentrates, which I got for $2 each (instead of $4). I am very glad I didn't pay full price for it. Firstly, you need a lot for it to lather properly, so the bottle won't last very long especially if you wash your hair more than twice a week (which I usually do - but by day 3, usually I have to dry shampoo my hair). Also, there's something nice about a bit of lather when shampooing your hair, so I certainly miss that. Second, it has no scent, which I think would be nice (even faint is fine, but no scent?? I want to smell GLORIOUS after my shower!). Thirdly, my hair is still very dry, and I do not see any signs of damage repair. I also feel like this shampoo makes my hair even more wavy and frizzy (my hair is normally very thick, medium/long length, formerly bleached, and usually has a gentle wave). It just doesn't feel nourished after using this. Lastly - at first I thought the bottle/dispenser was cool, but now, I am over the novelty of it. The top gets a bit icky if you don't rinse it off completely afterwards. Pics below.

  • I've tried the shampoo and conditioner in 3 different formulations and they all sucked. The appeal with this brand (besides the packaging) is custom hair products that you basically design based on your hair concerns or priorities. I purchases 3 different formulations and didn't like any. With the first one, it felt like my hair was thickly coated in product, to where when I blow dried it, it would remain oily. With the first formulation, I contacted support and they suggested adjusting some of my hair concerns. New batch shipped and same thing. I contacted CS again, adjusted again, and again... the same. I've never had a shampoo/conditioner feel this icky. I wound up using the remaining shampoo as a body wash and conditioner as a shaving cream. The absolute only thing I liked was the colorful products and ability to customize things like smell and color.
