Pureology Hydrate Sheer Conditioner 1 L

Just like the Hydrate Shampoo, this one came highly recommended but ended up being unusable for me. And for exactly the same reason as the shampoo...it left my scalp feeling itchy. I know this for definite as I used the shampoo with a different conditioner that doesn't cause any issues, yet my scalp itched, and then I alternated and used my regular shampoo with this conditioner and still my scalp itched. So it's both products. And it's a shame, as I was really happy with the conditioning effect as my hair was completely tangle-free and manageable for a change, without any knotting throughout the day. Also most conditioners I've used can make my hair and especially roots oily within 12 hours but this wasn't doing that at all. Lovely thick and creamy consistency too, ... MoreJust like the Hydrate Shampoo, this one came highly recommended but ended up being unusable for me.

Also most conditioners I've used can make my hair and especially roots oily within 12 hours but this wasn't doing that at all. Lovely thick and creamy consistency too, with a much more 'mintier' fragrance than the shampoo - perfect and refreshing if you live in a hot and humid climate like I do. If it wasn't for the issues I experienced I would have continued to use this. Pureology manufacturers please take note: too much peppermint oil and you run the risk of causing adverse reactions on sensitive scalps. I couldn't tell you exactly where on the ingredients list it should be, but 7th place from the top indicates a fair amount of it is in here. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even have a particularly sensitive scalp to begin with! A good product that could do with some minor adjustments to make it more suitable for all. -- My Top 10 Beauty Must-Haves

I am so thankful to Influenster and Pureology for sending me these hair products to try. I have mixed curl patterns. My curl pattern, I believe, is a 4b and 4c, but at the nape of my hair, my curls are a lot bigger, and it is a 4a, but the top/crown of my hair is straight. So I have a lot going on, and it's hard for me to find good products that are suitable for my hair. I will admittingly say that I am a certified, bonafied, qualified, and quantified product junkie (as my picture will attest), so when I say I have tried LOTS AND LOTS of products, I mean LOTS AND LOTS!! Saying all of that to say this -- the Pureology shampoo is THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT shampoo I have EVERRRRRRRRR used!!! Not only because of how amazing it smells, but because of the fact that it ... MoreI am so thankful to Influenster and Pureology for sending me these hair products to try. I have mixed curl patterns.

Saying all of that to say this -- the Pureology shampoo is THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT shampoo I have EVERRRRRRRRR used!!! Not only because of how amazing it smells, but because of the fact that it literally feels like it MELTS my hair and makes my hair so silky, smooth and soft. I mean, like literally, it was so very soft and manageable that I truly was able to detangle it with just the shampoo in it!! Usually, I would have to pre-poo, but for the sake of this review, I skipped the pre-poo and only used the products that were sent so that I could get a true, honest opinion. I panicked because it said there was no need to condition my hair afterward. All you do is shampoo, and then apply this top coat product that you leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse off, and then apply the leave-in conditioner that also smells divine. All in all, it left my hair so, so, nice and soft, and the smell is divine. Now, I never was good with wash and gos before because my hair would poof out into a dry-looking semi-afro, but with this line, my curls are popping, and it's not a Q-tip like it usually is. This top coat provides SO MUCH shine luster! With it being Covid and with me not having anywhere to go, I do not wash my hair nearly as much as I use to, because it's not like I'm out in the elements of the world, nor am I sweating or anything -- so as I'm writing this review, it's been three days since I have put ANYTHING else in it, and my curls are just as prominent and lustrous as they were the night I washed them. So, I am totally in love with this line of products and will totally implement them in my haircare routine. They say that when you find something that is right, you need to stick with it, and since this product has been so intensely and utterly satisfying, I will continue to use it. As my middle picture attests, clearly I am a certified, bonafied, qualified, and quantified product junkie! I have been around the block a time or four thousand dealing with these different products, so I have the experience to know various products, and this line of products seriously ranks amongst the top of them all! It is my pleasure to proudly confess and state that from this point on, I will continue to use Pureology's hair products in my hair care regimen from here on out! Thank you again, Pureology and Influenster for allowing me the opportunity to test out these amazing products and helping my hair to get its luster, softness, manageability, and adoration of my beautiful natural curls and bringing them to life! Supreme gratitude!!

Where do I begin with this amazing shampoo? It literally saved my dull, dry, brittle, and lifeless hair. I bleached it for a couple of years and doing that really sucked the moisture out of my hair. It literally felt like straw when I’d touch it. I was freaking out that I’d ruined my hair for good, but when I started learning how to take better care of my hair, Pureology is a brand that came up in my research all the time—I’ve even seen it recommended by trichologists! After just a couple of uses (along with the conditioner), I was hooked. My hair has never looked better (I also stopped bleaching it) and so healthy. The shampoo smells amazing and even though it’s slightly purple, it doesn’t stain your hands like other brands might. I literally only recommend this ... MoreWhere do I begin with this amazing shampoo? It literally saved my dull, dry, brittle, and lifeless hair.

Do not buy

I tried this for the first time and I really don't know how everyone hyped this up. The shampoo of this line is overwhelming with the lavender scent (not sure if it's actually that but that's what the smell is close to) but it made my hair fall out, in chunks by day 4 and the conditioner of this line has an overwhelming scent of menthol. It burned my head too much and after the rinsing of the hair from the conditioner, more hair fell out. you can not get the menthol smell out of your hair no matter how many times you try and rinse it out. I have blonde medium thick hair down to the middle of my back. I do shed somewhat, BUT the amount that's been falling out and being in chunks is not normal for me. At all. Please just be aware this could happen, as I am going back ... MoreI tried this for the first time and I really don't know how everyone hyped this up.

Please just be aware this could happen, as I am going back to Biolage's Ultra Hydrating shampoo and conditioner. When my hair does dry the biolage actually looks smoother than the pureology. Just really disappointed about the whole situation.

Extreme amount of hair loss

I bought this shampoo and conditioner the beginning of January this year and I'm only reviewing now after discovering a huge number of users are reporting hair loss and I have come to the conclusion it is responsible for my increasing loss of hair as well. The shampoo smells terrible, like really awful but I was willing to deal with that because I thought it was a better quality shampoo that I see recommended often. This condition actually smells really good in my opinion. Within the last 6 months I've noticed more hair loss and it's literally been increasing every month. I only accidentally stumbled upon other users reports of hair loss because I was desperately searching for help because it's gotten so bad that after using my wet brush I legitimately have almost a ... MoreI bought this shampoo and conditioner the beginning of January this year and I'm only reviewing now after discovering a huge number of users are reporting hair loss and I have come to the conclusion it is responsible for my increasing loss of hair as well.

I only accidentally stumbled upon other users reports of hair loss because I was desperately searching for help because it's gotten so bad that after using my wet brush I legitimately have almost a full handful of hair loss. I added a photo I took today after brushing. Since I'm followed by a dermatologist and an endocrinologist and know my blood work is perfect I believe it's due to the shampoo which is the only "change" in the last year, I'm absolutely devastated.

Go to for fine hair hydration

I used this product from when it was put on the market(which I'm pretty sure was called "hydrate light" then) until about 2-3 years ago. I have fine low porosity hair that I have not chemically processed in 13 years, and had no problems, unless I used it on my scalp(now I know not to do that lol). Plus, you don't need to use much. I stopped using it because as a human being, I got bored using the same thing over and over again. I have tried many new products, but once I am done with what I have now I will be repurchasing the hydrate sheer line again . I used to be able to put curls in my hair and they would stay for days, now I'm lucky if they stay a few hours. This gave me the perfect amount of hydration to balance my hair, I just didn't know it until I tried ... MoreI used this product from when it was put on the market(which I'm pretty sure was called "hydrate light" then) until about 2-3 years ago.

I can only recommend this to people with the same fine non processed hair as myself, but if you can definitely make it your next splurge. Also, I used this product for years in both humid(east coast) and dry(south west) climates, and it works well in both!

Life changing product 10/10

My hair is fine, long, wavy/curly, some damage near the ends. Super dry - the type of hair where you can put products on it and it never gets greasy. I can go a week without washing. The type of hair that previously I could never just air dry because the risk was too high. I typically buy products from aveda and cycle in products that spark my interest but I am switching to pureology forever. I used a combo of the strength cure shampoo and this conditioner and the results blew my mind. My hair immediately was smooth and sleek, curled beautifully, easier to style and detangle. The smell is so good, I love the scalp tingle. I can see how some people might feel this product is greasy but for my hair type completely balanced it out. I also feel that there is overall ... MoreMy hair is fine, long, wavy/curly, some damage near the ends. Super dry - the type of hair where you can put products on it and it never gets greasy.

No, just no

I was really looking forward to this shampoo and conditioner duo. I have thinner hair but a lot of it, that have worked hard to repair. It's just passed my shoulders. I recently bleached it and wanted to ensure I wouldn't have the same problem of breakage as before. I chose this product (and matching shampoo). The shampoo smelled like the dog shampoo I used on my dog when I was a child. Very overpowering essential oil scent, which was tolerable but the conditioner was too much. It felt like icy hot or menthol on my scalp. My scalp had a cold feeling but not in a good way. After rinsing, which I only washed and conditioned once, my hair air dried and had a lot of static which translates to it being very dry (which I haven't had a problem with in quite some time), and ... MoreI was really looking forward to this shampoo and conditioner duo.

It has been 3 days since I used this one time. One wash and one condition, my scalp is finally starting to feel some relief of itching. I exchanged this for the Biolage moisturizing damaged line. I got a large shampoo and small conditioner for the same price as two small bottles. I did read reviews for this and the several other pureolgy lines and this one is supposed to be fore thinner fine hair such as mine. For the cost, I really wanted to like this line better and it did not hit the bar for me at all :(★★☆☆☆

Used to love but not anymore.

I love Pureology shampoo and conditioner. I don't buy it often because it is so expensive. When the liters went on sale at the first of the year I excitedly purchased them. I waited to start using them until I got my hair done knowing I would have fresh color and wanted to use the Pureology then. Unfortunately even though the actual shampoo and conditioner are amazing to use I was finding that my hair was very weighed down. I have long straight hair that I love when it is clean and has some body but when I used the Pureology it just looked greasy and flat. Around the same time my daughter also had her hair done and started borrowing my products. Interestingly enough she experienced the same results. So now it is back to our original Redken products for us. What ... MoreI love Pureology shampoo and conditioner. I don't buy it often because it is so expensive.
