REN Clean Skincare Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo, Moisturizing, Sulfate-Free Shampoo for All Hair Types, 10.2 Fl Oz

The first thing I noticed about this conditioning shampoo, is that it’s a little more watery than other shampoos, and I have to use more than I do with others, but I liked it. I like that it is sulfate free, but there are a few other ingredients I would rather avoid such as sodium benzoate. But it cleans my hair well and leaves it manageable in that I can comb through my long hair pretty well after using this without following up with conditioner. It has a mild citrus smell. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now–washing every 3rd day, and there have been several times where I added a conditioner, but overall a decent shampoo, however, for the price and the chemicals that I don’t care for, I will probably not order this again.

I found this shampoo at a hotel in California's wine country. It seems to gently clean up previous shampoo residue. I'm not a chemist but I find no sulfates on the list of ingredients which may be a clue on how it works.

Leaves my hair oily and full of static

This REN shampoo is a lightweight shampoo cleanses your hair with the light slightly fruity scent. The scent is somewhat mild and I would’ve prepared something a little bit stronger, but it is pleasant.I am alternating usage of this and a dandruff shampoo currently and the REN shampoo does not seem to be impacting my scalp in a negative way. This shampoo doesn’t weigh down my hair and my normally oily hair does look and feel clean afterwards.This doesn’t lather up very much though, so if you have longer hair, I feel like it’ll be much more difficult to wash your hair with this.

So first thing about this shampoo is the smell. Not bad but not great either. The bottle is smaller and it takes multiple pumps to lather enough to feel like it’s washing your hair. It’s supposed to be conditioning but it made my hair feel dry and crusty while air drying. This might be a “guest” shampoo but not one I would order again.
