Hair Falling Out
Review by Briana P. on 5 Feb 2025 review stating Hair Falling Out
I received this cleanser as a sample packet on an order and I had such high hopes for it. After about a few days of using it, I noticed my hair was starting to fall out and shed more than usual … and I mean a LOT of hair. I ended up throwing the remainder of it away and will never use this again. I will say it did leave my hair feeling clean after some build up, but due to the fact my hair has been falling out, I don’t recommend this product.

A reset for your curls and scalp
Review by Maria P. on 26 Jan 2025 review stating A reset for your curls and scalp
Buildup Buster is great to remove the buildup of product. It leaves my scalp feeling fresh and clean and brings my curls back to life! My curls are beautiful after using it- curlier and softer and my hair actually dries quicker! I highly recommend.

Effective scalp cleanser!
Review by Laurenwright2007@gmail.com W. on 13 Nov 2024 review stating Effective scalp cleanser!
This build up buster is wonderful. I use it once every two weeks or so to thoroughly cleanse my scalp and get rid of product buildup. It helps to reset my scalp so my curls can continue to flourish and curl properly.

Effective!
Review by Mariah B. on 8 Mar 2024 review stating Effective!
I have an oily scalp. I only wash my hair a couple times a week and get an itchy scalp from the old oil building up and solidifying. This clears it out well. The only thing I don't care for is how much I have to scrub in and scrub out, because my arms/hands get tired. Definitely use it with conditioner at least every other time you use it.
