When i first started using this product i was in LOVE with it. I love the smell and the way my hair felt. After a few months of using it i started to feel my hair slowly get damage My ends were starting to break off and just feel like gum if that makes sense. I have chemically treated hair and its on the dry side so using this product was not helping but instead damaging my poor hair. I wash my hair every other day to every other 2 days so it s not like i was using it too often. I gave it 3 lips because the smell is great and the product does last a good amount of time. I will probably not finish whats left and just move on to a better shampoo.

I love this shampoo. It leaves my hair so soft and shiny. I did recently do a hot oil treatment at home and usually I can wash all the oil out with two washes, three tops, but after washing my hair with this shampoo like 6 times, I just reached for some suave. I think it's great for my dry hair that it strips the hair less than other brands I've used, but I'm not sure it would be so great for oily hair. I love the light scent of this shampoo. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle. It doesn't last that long, but overall I'm very happy with it and will continue to repurchase. It's not THE best, but one of the best I've used and the price is pretty good and I like that it's available in my small town.

I love this soooooo much!!!!! I have tried the organix macadamia oil, coconut milk, keratin oil, biotin and collagen, and moroccan oil lines and hated them. For some reason, my hair just loveeees the awapuhi ginger!! It leaves my hair so clean, soft, and silky! Its amazing! I highly suggest this line by them! The shampoo, conditioner, mask, and dry styling oil! I have been rotating this line with my Tresemme Platinum Strength line and my hair has never been better! :)

Didn't hate it but didn't love it either. I had hopes this would smell similar to Paul Mitchell awapuhi shampoo but it did not smell like it at all. It didn't wow me. I used this in combination with the Organix Awapuhi conditioner. I can't tell that this repairs anything. I wouldn't repurchase.

I'm probably wasting my time writing yet another organix review, but oh well. Ok so the first time I used this shampoo, I had awesome results. My hair was really soft and felt like I didn't even need to use conditioner, which is rare for me. Regardless, I went ahead and used the Organix macadamia conditioner with it...they were out of the awapuhi conditioner I wanted. Anyway, as soon as I rinsed the conditioner out, my hair was like straw. Awful. I mean, I don't think I've ever had a drugstore product dry my hair out so badly- not even Suave has done this! I've used the Awapuhi shampoo a few times since with a different conditioner and I get mediocre results. Semi-dry hair, not much shine, just kind of blah. I will not be repurchasing any organix shampoo or conditioners because I have never found one that works for me!

This shampoo dramatically improves my hair. My hair feels softer and healthier after one use. I did give it 4 stars though because it will strip the color out of your hair after one use. But I do love this product and it smells beautiful.

I love the smell of this shampoo, and it cleans hair very well, but sadly about halfway through the bottle I realized it was stripping my hair colour! If I didn't have coloured hair I would stick with it since it seems a pretty decent shampoo, but for now I am alternating it with Australian Organic's normal hair shampoo, since alternating shampoos seems to prevent my hair from getting "used" to them (and I rather like the shade my hair is fading to but don't want it to fade too fast!) You get a half-squeaky-clean feeling from wash-rinse-repeat, and paired with the Macadamia Nut Oil conditioner this is some of the best smelling stuff out there. Nothing miraculous, but I enjoy using it!

Edit: For those people worried about parabens, this shampoo contains DMDM Hydantoin ( http://chemicaloftheday.squarespace.com/todays-chemical/2009/6/22/dmdm-hydantoin.html) instead, which is an even more hazardous preservative, so don't buy this thinking you're safe from "nasty chemicals" - that's just marketing hype. Still need to read labels!

I absolutely LOVE this product! I bought this shampoo (along with the conditioner) on Friday. I love Organix products because it's natural and the shampoos contain no sulfates. I love the packaging of the bottles & this stuff smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! At first, I wasn't sure which shampoo & conditioner duo to pick, but I eventually decided on this one & I am so glad I did! I just used both today & oh my gosh, it made my hair so soft & smell so good! After I patted my hair with a towel, I then applied the Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum to the ends of my hair & my hair is amazingly soft & shiny & manageable! I highly recommend this shampoo/conditioner & I suggest using the Coconut Milk Serum afterwards! :)

This shampoo smells delicious and that's about it, half way thru this shampoo I noticed that it had dried my hair out like straw and my hair was also shedding like crazy, too bad because it made my hair very shiny and healthy looking for a couple of weeks. My husband tried it and it had the same effect on his hair.
EDIT: Found out what makes my loose hair like crazy with this shampoo, seems this third ingredient is the culprit------------
Water, Sodium C14 16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine

A lot of you think this shampoo is sulfate free . But you need to do your research . There are still surfactants in this . The 2nd one SODIUM c14 olefin sulfontate is a very harsh surfactant -- equally as if not MORE harsh than SLS--. It's no wonder that after just one use my hair color seems faded . . No wonder this shampoo foams so well. The other surfactants in here are gentle . It has a water soluble silicone which is nice and doesn't make my hair tangled like the clear scalp therapy shampoo
But I'm giving this shampoo A bad rap. You can't believe all the claims written on the bottles. Sulfate free doesn't mean safe for colored hair or free or harsh detergents . You might want to re think this if you have colored hair . A shame. Because it smells nice and makes my hair clean and light weight without being dry.
To be fair I'll keep using it for a few weeks and if I notice any color fading I'll definitely know it's the 'poo and quit it, and go on to joico, who in addition to using the gentle surfactants, uses sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) which is a gentle surfactant that cleans rather well W/O being drying or stripping. I've never had issues with SLES.

update: had to ditch this, the trickster sulfate in here dried my hair out, went to joico instead

This is a really lovely thick, creamy sulfate free shampoo. Great lather, cleans well and smells fantastic. It isn't harsh and does leave a nice shine on my notoriously curly/fluffy hair.

One warning for people with COLOUR TREATED HAIR. While their website says this shampoo is ok for colour treated hair, it most definitely is NOT. It will strip colour like no tomorrow and you will see a difference after a single wash with it. It's curious as otherwise it seems a gentle shampoo but whatever is in the ingredients is a serious no no for those with colour. I deducted points for that fact.

If your hair isn't coloured, this is great stuff though it's on the pricey end for a 'drug store' shampoo and locally runs about $2.00 more than some of the other shampoos from the Organix brand.

I really wanted to like this because of all the amazing reviews. The first week it worked alright but didn't do much for my hair. My hair gets damaged SO easily. So It needs hard core TLC. Unfortunately this did not work on my straw like hair.. BUT that being said there is a positive part. My mom tried this and she LOVES it! She had colored hair and it is somewhat thick. It makes her hair soft and shiny.

Organix sells some of the best smelling products out there, and the Awapuhi Ginger Shampoo is no exception. The tropical scent is amazing. I also love the generous lather which is rare in a sulfate-free product. Overall, a terrific shampoo.

I've been using this with the conditioner and I looooove it. The smell is awesome and not too over powering. I has made my hair so soft and it feels very healthy. I recommend this for someone with dry hair, my Fiance tried it and it just made his hair more greasy. Using this has made me want to try out the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi line but I'm a poor College student so that wont be happening. So until I can afford a 25 dollar shampoo I will be at the Organix section at Ulta!

I bought this based off of all the glowing reviews here on MUA and I was not disappointed! I had previously been using L'Oreal's EverCreme shampoo and conditioner but I was starting to notice how flat my hair was because the shampoo wasn't getting rid of any product build up in my hair. I dye my hair w/ permanent color at home every month and recently had an episode that necessitated the use of ColorOops! (darn you, Feria, you turned on me!) so I think because my hair was extra dry and sad from the abuse, EverCreme did offer some much-needed moisture. But soon as my hair got back to normal that's when I saw issues with it. I did a lot of research here on MUA and this was one of the few drugstore brands that was sulfate free and got high marks for cleansing and repair. I bought both the shampoo and conditioner at Walgreen's, BOGO free, pretty sweet deal for an $8 shampoo & conditioner! Love the scent, mild and pretty and love how the shampoo lathers so well, I think, even though it's sulfate free it lathers enough to cleanse properly. The conditioner doesn't seem like it's going to do much for your hair because of its light, whipped texture but it does a fantastic job! My hair looks so fab and shiny and smells great, never been so satisfied with a drugstore shampoo and conditioner! I love being able to find products I can buy again and again. Nothing worse than buying an "ok" product and having to start from square one researching what might work better before you can even go to the store and complete your shopping list.



UPDATE: Started to dry my hair out after the honeymoon period was over :(

I have fine, long, chemically-treated hair and a sensitive nose. This shampoo pleased both! It smells fantastic and unusual without being perfumey or overpowering, and easily works into a lush lather in the shower. I'm on my third bottle and plan to repurchase despite it being on the higher end of the drugstore brand price range. At my local pharmacy it cost me $8.99.

I have been using Organix products for a while now and I'm a big fan of this product as well! It made my hair soft and I didn't notice a lot of frizz either. The smell is absolutely amazing (not a surprise, all Organix products smell great) and is overall a great product.

The main reason I decided to use this shampoo was because it is sulfate free. Also, because my hair is on the split ends side I decided, "why not?" let's see if it works. Well so far, I like it but I do not love it. It is a good shampoo, and it will leave the hair very soft just after shampooing alone. However, I see that it does give me a lot of hair fall out every time I do use it, that is why I felt like it did not deserve a rating of 4/5 since this could be a big problem for some of us., It is something about this organix products, and I know is the products because I just started using this line and that is all I've been using. Still, the shampoo does leave my hair very shiny and healthy looking, plus it smells real good.

I've been wanting to try Organix' SLS free shampoo's for months. The one I wanted to try was the Cherry Blossom Ginseng shampoo for volume. Unfortunately it was all sold out. I really needed a SLS shampoo so I opted for this one. I can say that this shampoo really does make my hair feel nice and soft in and out of the shower, the smell is great and so is the packaging. But I don't think I can continue using this product for the reason that it makes my hair oily and I loose more hair in the shower. ( I already have an oily scalp that needs to be washed every other day). I recommend this product for anyone who is looking for an SLS free shampoo and needs something that will soften and moisten their hair. However I do not recommend this product to anyone that has an oily scalp.. be warned.
