Thank God!
Review by Sara A. on 3 Mar 2023 review stating Thank God!
I got this for free as a sample and HAD to buy more! I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, but after trying it, I now know I CANNOT live without it. I only need it once a week, but as long as they don't ever change the formula, I'll keep buying it! It's great for a once a week clean out of my hair before shampooing. I know it says to use in place of shampoo, but I use it before using my regular shampoo anyway, and my hair is just fine. I just use extra conditioner. I LOVE the way my hair feels after. Nice and soft and clean. GREAT STUFF!

My hairdresser recommended this cleanser
Review by ameliarosenman@gmail.com R. on 22 Dec 2022 review stating My hairdresser recommended this cleanser
My hairdresser recommended this cleanser because I swim in a chlorinated pool almost every day. Compared to no poo, which I have used for years, I find this cleanser makes my hair feel tougher and stringier and require a lot more conditioner.

Buildup Buster has always worked for me and without drying out my hair. Leaves it shiny and soft.

Effective but heavy scent
Review by Crystal W. on 30 Sep 2022 review stating Effective but heavy scent
Buildup Buster does what it claims to do: it removes product build-up from your hair follicles effectively! However, it is heavily scented. I wish it was available in an unscented option.
