Intensive Repair Shampoo — Reddit Reviews
by Dove
Updated November 5, 2026
Repair-focused shampoo for damaged hair; softens lengths without salon-shampoo pricing.
What the community says
A sulfate-cleansing shampoo with dimethiconol, ceramides, coconut oil, and hydrolyzed soy protein gives damaged lengths a soft, coated finish. Fine-haired users with oily scalps may like the clean, lightweight wash, though others report grease, itch, or flatness.
