I have fine, straight hair and often find that shampoos leave a build up on it. This shampoo is perfect for my hair type; a little goes a long way and it properly cleans all the dirt from my hair with zero damage. Since using this shampoo I don't need to condition anymore, even though my hair reaches my waist. There is a scent but it's subtle, so I don't have to worry about it clashing with my perfume.
