Ouai impresses in reviews for effective detox shampoo, weightless-yet-smoothing hair oil, and evocative scents like St. Barts and Melrose Place, confirming the brand works for deep cleansing and soft, shiny results. However, multiple reviews flag overpowering fragrance, residue or dryness with continued use, hit-or-miss styling (especially Wave Spray), and packaging issues with thick conditioners—making performance and scent tolerance highly hair-type dependent.

Love the detox shampoo.

I want to preface this review by saying that I am NOT a haircare pro by any means. My normal shampoo is Suave Men's 2 in 1, with the exception of the Ouai clarifying shampoo, which I use every other week or whenever my hair needs a deep clean. It definitely works for its purpose! I also use the hair oil on damp hair, and it's fab! However, I can't say that I wouldn't be able to find something just as good but less pricey.
i’m an oily hair girlie and i thought that i was just destined to stay that way until i tried the detox shampoo. this changed everything! i can stretch out days between washes so easily now and my hair is so healthy!
I've tried multiple products from Ouai and I didn't find them to be life-changing. The only product I'd consider rebuying is the Detox Shampoo – it lathers well and it does its job but I only use it once a month because it's very drying. If you use a lot of styling/gel products in your hair, I'd definitely would use a Detox shampoo once a month. I do like that they offer refills for their packaging though.
I went to the blue lagoon in Iceland and developed crusty dry hair from the minerals. The detox shampoo saved my life when nothing else was working. I still use monthly and it really helps support my health curls.
I have enjoyed using their Detox shampoo and their thickening hair spray. Beautiful simple packaging.
I've tried Ouai's shampoo & conditioner and wasn't impressed. The scent wasn't pleasant and it did nothing for my hair. I gave up on the brand until I received a sample of their hair oil. I like trying new products and don't often repurchase haircare but I LOVE the oil. The smell is so much better than the shampoo & conditioner and doesn't cause headaches, which I'm prone to. It's great for frizz, taming "the fluff", and makes my hair super shiny.

I’ve tried their shampoo and conditioner and it didn’t blow me away.
Love their leave in conditioner. An absolute must have on beach vacations to keep the hair from getting crispy!
Worth the price! Definitely should sample everything though before trying. I love the scalp and body scrub in Melrose Place (love the scent SO much) and I also recently tried the leave in conditioner (also love the scent) and love it. However I know some people really love the detox shampoo but I tried it from the Sephora birthday gift this year and it made my scalp react poorly and itchy in a bad way!
Amazing hair care - high quality and does not take a lot of product to use. Lasts long and the scent is beautiful. I get compliments constantly on what perfume I am wearing when it is just my Ouai body wash/shampoo!
These products smell great!! I just don’t love the price and I don’t see much of a difference in my hair or body
The leave in conditioner is my favorite. They’ve done collars with perfumes and I love love love those because the product didn’t change, just the scent. I think the original scent is also amazing and my hair feels so soft
I absolutely love the detox shampoo from this line. I also think that the products smell incredible especially the Melrose scent. I am looking forward to trying more from the line.
love the curl creme and hair mask !
Smells amazing but I don’t think the products actually do anything beneficial for my hair.

Bodycare is okay but detox shampoo made my hair fall out!
I used a Ouai shampoo and conditioner for a few months, but it weighed my hair down and caused a buildup of product. For the price point, I wasn't very happy about how unluxurious it was.
Good but not the best skincare brand.
