What They Say: (about ShampooFORTE) Paul Penders Natural Organic Time Release Medium-Suds ShampooFORTE enriches and moisturizes dry & thick hair and brings shine and softness to permed and colored hair.

Leaves the scalp healthy and clear.

(about RinseFORTE) Paul Penders Natural Organic ConditionFORTE untangles hair leaving it shiny, silky and never weighed down. Coconut oil and Aloe Vera work to correct dryness and promote extra body, while French Lavender imparts an exquisite fragrance. This unique herbal mixture with added organic apple cider leaves the hair and scalp feeling fresh and clean by eliminating buildup and restoring proper pH levels. Brings moisture and vitality to the driest hair.

Jamie's Thoughts: (ShampooFORTE) The shampoo is lovely - nearly scentless and nearly free of the industrial detergents that other shampoo companies add to their formulas to make you think all that lather is necessary (when in reality, it strips the oil out of your hair). It cleans quickly and thoroughly, and my fickle scalp loves it. I can even run my fingers through my hair mid-shower with ease. Love it.

(RinseFORTE) The conditioner works just as well with its partner shampoo as it does all by itself. It's thick, luxurious, and also almost scent-free. It leaves my hair smooth, manageable, and super bouncy. There was no residue weighing my curls down. Love it.

If you're selective about the ingredients you put on your hair, this pairing is a win-win. I highly recommend it.
