TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo Review

There are a select few products that I’ve used on my relaxed hair over the years that I can say I really like and have used consistently for a long time. The TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo is part of that select group. So it’s surprising that it’s taken me this long to write a full review of the shampoo.

I’ve shared why I like this shampoo in round-up videos, round-up blog posts, and even in my Instagram feed but I’ve never gotten really detailed in why I like this shampoo, use it on my hair, and recommend it.

I came across TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo when I was going through protein overload. I had heard about TGIN a while before and was actually using the Green Tea Super Moist Leave In Conditioner. I needed a protein-free shampoo and the Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo has no protein so I bought it and hoped my hair would like it.

Well, I didn’t need to worry, my hair loved the shampoo! This was probably because it lived up to its claims:

• Cleans hair, gently and effectively
• Does not contain harsh detergents that strip the hair of its natural oils
• Smoothes the cuticle surface
• Leaves hair feeling soft and smooth
• Infused with Pro Vitamin B5 for reduced breakage and increased moisture

Now I pretty much use the TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo every single time I wash my hair at home. It’s one of my go-to shampoos because it does a really good job of cleaning my hair but not leaving it feeling dry or stripped of moisture. It actually feels like the shampoo is adding moisture back to my hair.

I call the TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo my second lather shampoo. When I wash my hair I lather twice. The first lather is usually a sulfate, clarifying, or strengthening shampoo. My second lather is the TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo because of how moisturizing it is.

I will admit that I’ve found that when I have a lot of build-up on my hair from products, dirt, or oil it doesn’t get my hair as clean as I would like. That’s why I tend to pair it with a sulfate shampoo. That doesn’t bother me though as I’ve found this to be the case for the majority of the sulfate-free shampoos I’ve used.
