Let’s Start with the Real Question If you’ve got low porosity hair, you know the drill. Your strands repel moisture like a raincoat. Products sit on top. Oils weigh it down. Deep conditioners don’t seem to “soak in.” So when a rich, buttery brand like Shea Moisture comes along, the question isn’t just curiosity –…
You know that moment when you catch your hair in the mirror and the blonde looks a little… off? Not bright, not creamy, not cool. Just a weird mix of yellow or that dull brass that pops out of nowhere. That’s the moment people run to purple shampoo. And honestly, I’ve seen it hundreds of…
You know that weird moment when your skin is breaking out, and nothing you try makes a difference, and suddenly someone tells you, “Use an anti-dandruff shampoo on your face”? It sounds ridiculous.

You know that feeling when someone hands you a shampoo bottle and tells you it’s made with beer… and your brain needs a moment to reboot? I get it. Even as someone who studies hair chemistry, I paused the first time I saw “beer shampoo” on a shelf. Beer goes in a glass, not on…
The funny thing about Schwarzkopf is that people either swear by it or side-eye it like it’s about to ruin their hair. And I get it.
