I was looking for a review of anyone experiencing dry, brittle hair from using this product. My hair is so dry, course, and is now breaking off, especially in the areas where it is the thinnest which is now making a bad problem even worse! I am also past the return period which is unfortunate.

I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying the results of the product you used on your hair. It’s great to receive positive feedback and I hope it continues to work well for you. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out for support.

It sounds like you have not seen the desired results from using the shampoo and conditioner you have been using. If you’re concerned about hair loss, it may be best to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment and advice on hair care products. Additionally, factors such as diet, stress, hormones, and medical conditions can also affect hair health, so it’s important to address any underlying issues.

It has 2 preservatives known to be toxic:
Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative shown to be toxic to human cells in a clinical trial. Ethylhexylglycerin is another preservative (one that we consider a better choice), but we recommend using shampoo free of preservatives.

We do not recommend Routine Shampoo due to the inclusion of two synthetic preservative compounds, but we do consider it likely to improve hair quality and to be better-formulated than most shampoos we review on Illuminate Health.

For consumers set on purchasing this product, we recommend the fragrance-free version, because there are documented toxicity concerns related to fragranced consumer products.
