Expert note
Strong cleansing formula. This shampoo provides deep cleansing for oily scalps and heavy product buildup. It effectively removes excess oil and residue but may be drying due to the combination of strong sulfates and fragrance allergens. Contains conditioning polymers and ceramides that slightly reduce harshness, though their benefit is limited in a rinse-off product. Not recommended for sensitive, dry, or damaged hair. Best used occasionally or in rotation, not as a daily shampoo.
Ultra Deep Repair by IZUMI — a shampoo formulated to balance and care for scalp and hair. Designed to leave hair feeling refreshed and lightweight.
