Cautions & Considerations
Allergies & Sensitivities
Review the ingredient list if you’re sensitive to fragrance, botanical oils, or specific preservatives. Patch-test on the inner arm if uncertain.

FAQs
Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Generally, hydrating shampoos like this are color-friendly. Always check your stylist’s guidance and avoid excessively hot water.
How often should I use it?
1–3× weekly works for many. Very dry hair may prefer fewer wash days with co-wash in between.
Will it weigh down fine hair?
It’s moisture-forward. Fine hair may prefer a smaller amount and a lightweight conditioner on mids-to-ends only.
Does it help with frizz?
By cleansing without over-stripping, it can reduce frizz caused by dryness and set a smoother base for conditioners and leave-ins.
