Love this shampoo and conditioner! I'm really active, have a sensitive scalp and because of my hair texture (3B) I only wash my hair every 3 days. So I was looking for a product line that would suit my needs.
The shampoo made my hair feel really clean, but not "stripped". The conditioner was equally amazing, and has great slip--which helped me detangle my hair in the shower. Afterwards my hair felt really clean, it was easy to comb through (which is always a struggle) and this really aided the rest of my haircare routine.
I highly recommend this hair care line! I'll defenitely be ordering again!

I was a little concerned if the conditioner would be too heavy for my white girl curls knowing it was designed for black hair texture. I used black hair conditioners in the past, but they couldn't be used often without weighing down my curls. This conditioner is not heavy at all! I am able to comb it through my curls. Once rinsed, the curls look soft and healthy without the heavy weight of some conditioners I've used marketed for curls, black or white hair textures.

With the shampoo, a little bit goes a long way. I love the smell of the product. It has definitely helped my curls look better. When I first tried it, I thought I needed a haircut to help my curls. Within a few washes, that all changed. The curls had never looked better. I ended up waiting two more months before that cut.

I absolutely love the Cool Down Conditioner! This product smells and feels amazing, and it's so moisturizing on my curly hair. My scalp feels refreshed and tingly (in an amazing way) after using this conditioner. I use the conditioner with the Step It Up shampoo and am obsessed with the results. My curls are moisturized and have an amazing bounce to them. I'm recommending this product to all of my curly hair friends and can't wait to repurchase!

As someone who works out 5-6 times/week and has very curly hair, I am so thankful to have discovered Striking + Strong. The Step It Up shampoo is so effective, it leaves my hair and scalp feeling clean but not dry or stripped of all moisture. You also don't need much product to work up a lather. I love to follow up my shampoo with the Cool It Down Conditioner as well. Definitely rate it 5 stars and if you're on the fence, you won't regret purchasing!

My daughter and I love Striking + Strong products for her hair. The Step It Up Shampoo is perfect for cleansing her scalp without being too harsh (she has psoriasis so it's always important that she gets a really deep clean) and it has great lather for a low-sulfate product. There's a lovely little scalp tingle she likes from the Cool It Down Conditioner and not only does her wet hair feel super soft, her curls are so defined and moisturized once they've dried! They even maintain their definition in between full wash days, which is typically about 2 weeks.

The holiday season is swiftly approaching and before we get lost in calendars filled with office parties, networking events, and so many dinners let’s take a weekend to pause and thrive in the beauty of self- care. How?
Day 1 — Friday, 10.20
It’s simple, plan an activity/activities (solo or with a group) that get your heart rate up and the sweat flowing. Go for a run, brisk walk, yoga, bike ride, whatever you enjoy. The key is to work up a little sweat (i.e. Make your body happy)!
Day 2 — Saturday, 10.21
Then we cool it down. Remember self-care is what brings you joy. It could be getting a mani-pedi, massage, or enjoying a good book and snacks at home. The key is to pause and enjoy.
Day 3 — Sunday, 10.22
After all that we need to get clean—so it’s time for Wash Day! Cleanse your scalp and have your hair basking in the beauty that this weekend was yours.
Bonus Fun — Giveaways!
Follow us and tag pics and video of your weekend and share them with us #iamstrikingandstrong #selfcareweekend2022. We’ll be giving 20 lucky followers first access to our Winter 2022 releases.
Put you first and block off your calendar to dedicate Oct. 20-22, 2023 for self-care.

“Girl, don’t sweat out your hair!” You’ve heard that so many times growing up. Keeping it cute was the alternate to getting sweaty and even today we’re told that being strong means we’re not also soft or delicate. Truth is, this world prefers one-dimensional women. Yet our curls are far from flat, so we unapologetically choose to live and embrace lives that are multifaceted. You can work + workout. You can be cute + sweat it out. You can care for others + care for yourself. If anyone says otherwise, we’ve got your back. We are Striking + Strong, and so are you.
