Finding the perfect shampoo and conditioner for your hair type can be an exhausting cycle of trial and error. But what if I told you the perfect haircare duo is out there, and not only will it get you compliments on your hair, but also on how good you smell?

I have naturally 2B, dry hair. It’s highly porous and requires a ton of hydration due to where I live (Los Angeles) and the amount of heat I use on it (hello, my favorite flat iron!).

I don’t mess around when it comes to finding a good shampoo and conditioner duo. I always look for products that are sulfate-, paraben-, and cruelty-free. My goal is always to find something that will hydrate my strands without weighing them down.

I like products that help support good scalp health, add softness and shine to my strands, and smell really, really good.

Enter: Nous!

Nous Haircare was founded by hair colorist Tylor Johnson. The brand specializes in haircare products crafted with clean ingredients that deliver results.

The line includes gorgeous hair glosses, dry shampoo, and a must-try shampoo and conditioner duo that works together as a hair treatment.

I love how thick and glossy the “It Girl” wash feels on my hands and in my hair. At $30 on its own, it should feel like a high-end salon product—and it really does.

I always double-wash with a shampoo, and while some formulas leave my hair feeling stripped, my hair feels revitalized after using this product. It also has a light herbal scent, likely from the lavender and rosemary water in the formula.

As a wavy-haired lady, I have to be discerning about the type of conditioner I use.

The “It Girl” conditioner offers luxe slip without being too watery (I hate when conditioners do that).

Whether I let my hair air-dry or use a hair dryer, I find that my waves are hydrated and more defined than if I had used another product.

The first time I washed my hair with this duo, my boyfriend told me I smelled “really good.” When I got to work that day, I got a ton of compliments on how healthy and bouncy my hair looked.

Whether your hair is wavy like mine, color-treated, or just in need of a hydration boost, this duo covers all the bases. And if you’re worried about product build-up, don’t be. My hair feels clean, never coated.

The “It Girl” shampoo features a potent blend of amino acids that penetrate deep into the cuticle and hair shaft to improve elasticity, strength, and shine. Hydrolyzed rice protein adds natural volume and bounce to the hair.

The duo’s conditioner uses niacinamide to help improve hair’s resilience, enhance texture, and reduce inflammation, while hydrolyzed silk protein and avocado oil deliver deep hydration and significant strength to each strand, preventing breakage and promoting elasticity.

Plus, it’s the ultimate clean girl scent, leaving your strands with a subtle yet lightly herbal fragrance.
