• “A nourishing, smoothing shampoo that fights frizz and flyaways, and boosts shine with marula oil and coconut water.”

• Helps for hair that may be frizzy, unmanageable or in need of more smoothness and gloss.

• Suitable for “all hair types”, meaning it’s not restricted to only coarse or curly hair. 

🧪 Key Ingredients & What They Do

• Marula Oil (Sclerocarya birrea seed oil): a rich natural oil known for smoothing and adding shine. 

• Coconut Water (Cocos nucifera liquid endosperm / coconut water): light hydration, helps hair feel fresh and not weighed down. 

• Botanical extracts: Blackberry fruit extract, Acai fruit extract, Pomegranate extract, Rosehip extract, Calendula, Rooibos etc — these support antioxidant benefits and overall hair & scalp health. 

• The cleansing base uses milder surfactants (e.g., sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate) rather than heavy harsh sulfates. 

📝 How to Use

• Wet hair thoroughly.

• Apply a suitable amount of the shampoo to scalp and hair; massage into scalp and through strands. 

• Rinse thoroughly.

• Follow with a conditioner (for best results) — possibly the matching Simply Smoothing Conditioner or another product suited for your hair type.

• Because it’s aimed at smoothing and frizz‑control, use as your regular shampoo for when you want that smoother look and feel.

🔍 Things to Keep in Mind / Suitability

• If your hair is very dry, very damaged, or high‑porosity, you may want an additional deeper treatment in your routine alongside this shampoo — smoothing shampoos may help the outer surface but deeper repair might need mask/treatment.

• If your hair is extremely fine and you’re worried about weight/volume loss, check how your hair feels with it (some smoothing formulas can weigh very fine hair down).

• Since you’re in Karachi (humid, potentially high frizz conditions, exposure to sun/pollution) — this product is quite relevant because smoothing + shine benefits help with the humidity/frizz issue.

• If your scalp is oily but hair mid‑to‑ends are dry, you may use this on the mid‑to‑ends and a more clarifying/then follow with this approach.

• Because it includes oils and butters (marula oil, coconut water, botanical oils) it may have a more “rich” feel compared to extremely lightweight shampoo; depending on your hair type you might notice that.

• Patch test is always wise if you have sensitivities (especially to botanical extracts or fragrance).

👩🦰 Is It a Good Match for You?

Given your location (Karachi) and the fact that you’re looking at something smoothing/frizz‑control — yes, this shampoo is a strong candidate:

• If your hair tends to frizz in humidity, gets fly‑aways, or you want more shine and manageability → this aligns well.

• If you value “clean” ingredients (vegan, free of many harsh chemicals) → yes.

• If you have reasonably healthy hair and want a good everyday smoothing shampoo rather than extreme repair, this fits well.

• If your hair is extremely fine, very limp, or you prioritise maximum volume over smoothness, then check how your hair responds (you may sacrifice a bit of volume for smoothing).

• If your hair is severely damaged (e.g., bleached, heat‑damaged) you might use this as your regular shampoo and add a deep‑repair mask occasionally.
