This clean shampoo eschews traditional surfactants, which can strip strands of beneficial oils, in favor of a gentle coconut-derived surfactant system. The formula also incorporates Tsubaki seed oil to hydrate the strands, but it’s not so heavy that it’ll weigh down fine strands. After your shower, your scalp and hair will feel squeaky clean, and your tresses will smell like fresh yuzu, bergamot, and lemongrass.

An ELLE editor says: “As someone with fine and oily hair, I’m so afraid of weighing down and over-hydrating my strands. I’m so nervous about it, in fact, that I’ll forego conditioner most days (don’t tell my stylists!). This shampoo is light enough that it doesn’t overload my hair with moisture, which allows me to go in with a pump of leave-in conditioner after my showers to keep my locks smooth and shiny. I also feel like it lifts my roots for a more volumized appearance.”—Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer
