Great shampoo for curly hair

After just I've use i could see the difference in my curls. Everything was less frizzy and the curls are more defined. I have already recommended this to my curly haired sister.

Relaxed my Curly Hair

2 years ago
I used three A Curl Can Dream products including the shampoo, moisturizing cream, and gel, and it has completely ruined my original curl pattern. I used these three products ONCE and five days later my hair still has a filmy feel to it. I have a curl type around 3A, and after using these products my curls have stayed droopy and have lost their bounce/retention. Originally, I thought it was because I styled my hair differently with my regular products, but no amount of deep cleanse & normal styling has allowed my curls to return to their original state. The curls seem to have been relaxed, yet with increased frizz. I don't think many people have had this issue, but I would rather put this out in case anyone else has had similar reactions.

Super strong rose smell

17 days ago
Rose scent is way too strong for me. I can’t handle heavy perfumes and this is very heavy scented. Good product otherwise but I had to return it after using once.

We are so sorry the rose scent was too overwhelming for you! We completely understand that heavy fragrances can be really tough to handle, and we’re sad to hear you had to return the product, especially since you liked how it performed otherwise. Your feedback about the scent strength is incredibly valuable to us and has been shared with our team. If you ever want to find a Matrix product with a much lighter or different scent profile, we would love to help you find the perfect match!

A few years ago, my hairdresser introduced me to this series to revive my curls! What a difference! I use the shampoo, cowash, mask, leave in conditioner, and gel. I get compliments on how great my hair smells and how fresh my hair looks all the time. I am a forever fan of the A Curl Can Dream line of products.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Please bring back Curl Please

a year ago
I have used Curl Please since it first came out. This shampoo does not measure up. I bought this shampoo thinking it was a new and improved Curl Please. When I got it home, I was amazed that it said to use it once a week. I live in the south and have to wash my hair every day. Since I had purchased it, I tried it but it just dried my hair out. Please bring back the original Curl Please. It's so much better. Meanwhile, you've lost a long time customer.

Hello Jolol, We're sorry to hear the A Curl Can Dream Shampoo didn't work for you, especially as a long-time Curl Please user. We understand your disappointment that it doesn't measure up and that the once-weekly usage recommendation isn't ideal for your needs in the Southern climate. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the product development team

Please bring back curl please shampoo

a year ago
I was a longtime customer using curl please shampoo which I absolutley loved. When you changed the formula to a curl can dream I was so disappointed as when I started using it, it made my hair really dry. Please bring back the old formula. I have tried many curly shampoos and nothing as good as curl please shampoo. Please bring the old formula back.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Expected a lot better results for the price

2 years ago
Switched from dove, thought perhaps I would have less fallout but this product has actually made it twice as bad as it was with dove, I can't even run my fingers through my hair without ending up with a handful of fallout. Been using it for 3 months now, only about half way through the bottles but will not be a return customer. At $19/per bottle, you guys can keep your chemicals, it does smell very nice but other than that, the only change in my hair I saw was an increase in hair fallout.

No, I do not recommend this product.
