This is just an initial
"This is just an initial review. I just used this shampoo today for my wash day. It lathers well and with just a small amount. I also like the smell. I know a shampoos primary purpose is to clean and not necessarily have slip but I’ve just gotten use to using shampoos with slip and after rinse out my hair felt really clean but just ever so lightly dry. Not sure if that’s the Chebe but I did feel the need to use a rinse out conditioner afterwards. I think time will tell using the full system more regularly, how my hair will ultimately respond. I liked it, it just didn’t wow me."
