Garden of Wisdom's Locks of Lovely Shampoo is a luxurious, plant-powered formula designed to cleanse, nourish, and strengthen hair without compromise. This gentle yet effective shampoo is enriched with a carefully selected blend of natural ingredients that promote scalp health and enhance hair vitality. Mild, biodegradable cleansers like Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, and CocoBetaine provide a soft, sulfate-free lather that cleanses without stripping away essential moisture. Vegetable glycerin and xanthan gum contribute to a smooth, hydrating texture, ensuring your hair feels soft and manageable after every wash. A powerhouse of botanical extracts and oils, including broccoli sprout infusion, brassica (broccoli) seed oil, black castor oil, and baobab powder extract, deeply nourishes the scalp and strands, enhancing shine, strength, and elasticity. Aloe vera gel, Argan oil, and marshmallow infusion work in harmony to deliver intense hydration and soothing care, leaving hair feeling silky, smooth, and revitalized. To fortify and protect, pro-vitamin B5, keratin amino acids, silk (hydrolyzed), and L-arginine help restore hair’s natural resilience, reducing breakage and improving texture over time. Rhodiola extract and allantoin provide additional soothing and conditioning properties, making this shampoo ideal for sensitive scalps. With a clean, unscented formula, Locks of Lovely Shampoo is perfect for those who prefer a fragrance-free hair care experience while still enjoying premium-quality ingredients. Experience the beauty of deeply cleansed, nourished, and naturally radiant hair with every wash!
Method of Application This should be used as any shampoo would be applied. Let sit on the hair for several minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water. I know (duh, Markey). :-) Our testers here did not need to use a conditioner afterward. We want your feedback!
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Mounting stress levels can have a detrimental effect on the body, triggering a nutrient-conserving mode where the body prioritizes essential survival functions over others, such as hair health. Consequently, hair issues and hair loss become more pronounced. Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogenic herb, offers a solution with its anti-stress and fatigue-fighting properties that help lower stress-inducing enzymes in the body.
The benefits of Rhodiola rosea for hair are largely attributed to its adaptogenic qualities, which enhance the body's ability to manage stress, thereby indirectly supporting hair health. Here's how it works: **Improves Stress Resistance**: Rhodiola rosea is rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help balance hormones, reducing cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. High cortisol levels can cause hair follicles to shrink, exacerbating hair issues. Regular intake of Rhodiola rosea supplements boosts the body's stress resistance, mitigating hair fall and other hair-related problems associated with poor follicle health.
**Maintains Hormonal Balance**: The endocrine system regulates hormone production, which is vital for the growth and reproduction of hair follicles. By aiding in hormonal balance, Rhodiola rosea directly contributes to healthier hair and reduces hair fall concerns.
**Enhanced Blood Circulation**: A well-functioning body ensures optimal performance of all systems, including blood circulation. Rhodiola rosea supplements promote normalization, facilitating free blood flow and delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including the hair follicles. This improved nutrient supply enhances hair follicle health, alleviating hair concerns. Black Castor Oil D-Panthenol Baobab Powder Extract Allantoin L-Arginine
Locks of Lovely Shampoo (Unscented): Pure, Nourishing, and Gentle Care for Your Hair
Love this shampoo! I have an oily scalp but dry hair, and somehow this formula balances both. My hair is much softer (less breakage), and it doesn't need washing as often. It's remarkable that this works without conditioner.

We’re blushing, or maybe that’s just our shampoo bubbling with pride! Thank you for the lovely shoutout to Locks of Lovely Shampoo.
Balancing an oily scalp and dry ends is no small feat, but this shampoo understood the assignment.
We’re thrilled to hear your hair is feeling softer, stronger, and sassier with less wash-day drama (and no conditioner sidekick!).
Who knew one bottle could do it all? We might start calling it the overachiever of the shower shelf.
Thanks again for sharing the love your hair clearly has great taste. ♀️

Luxurious shampoo
I love this shampoo. It makes my hair soft yet full. Like others have said, I don't usually use conditioner with this shampoo as it feels like a shampoo and conditioner all in one. I just lather up and leave it in for a few minutes. I also like that it is unscented.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It’s wonderful to know our shampoo is leaving your hair soft and full, exactly what we hoped for when creating it!
We love that you’ve found it nourishing enough to skip the conditioner - this kind of simplicity can make all the difference in a busy routine. And we’re especially glad you appreciate the unscented formula. We know how important it is to have gentle, fragrance-free options that still feel indulgent.
Thanks again for sharing your experience

Great shampoo
I have very curly hair. I have also lost a lot of weight recently. My hair has been limp and thin feeling which is not my norm. This shampoo has helped my dry scalp and limp hair. My curls have more definition and my scalp doesn't feel dry and sore. My only wish is for a matching conditioner or deep conditioning treatment to go with it. I still have to use conditioner, but that didn't come as a shock to me.
Jen
Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that our shampoo has helped bring back definition to your curls and improved your scalp health. We appreciate your feedback about a matching conditioner or deep treatment, it's definitely something we’ll keep in mind for the future! In the meantime, we recommend pairing it with a hydrating conditioner to maintain moisture and keep your curls looking their best. Thanks again for sharing your experience! I love this shampoo as well Markey

Outstanding shampoo. My scalp and hair are very clean after using this. No irritation and no build-up. Far superior to many of the shampoos that I have recently used. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.

Great
This shampoo is great for my hair, but also for my scalp which is no surprise with the ingredients that GOW employs. I use several GOW products for my facial skin. Now I have as good a product for the rest of my head.
Thank you SO much!
We get really nice and positive feedback for this product and yours is greatly appreciated as well.
Enjoy and please let us know if you have any follow up questions, ideas or thoughts about this shampoo.
I’ve been trying many of the cleansers that GOW makes and I love them all, but I think this is my absolute favorite so far. The texture is absolutely luxurious and I love the smell. It’s really gentle on my sensitive skin yet leaves it feeling clean and soft. Thanks for another great product, GOW!

VISIBLE EFFECTS IN AGING SKIN
This product has made the most difference to fine lines and wrinkles of any one product I use, especially in DEEP FROWN LINES IN LOWER FACE - and I use a lot of serums! It is definitely worth the price - the most I've ever spent on any skincare product. After trying the small-sized bottle, I purchased the 4 oz bottle at regular price and bought another bottle two weeks later during GOW's spring sale!
I’m really loving this hand cream. It’s super luxurious and at the same time not too heavy or thick. It feels greasy at first, which I happen to like because my skin is really dry, but then it absorbs quickly.

Great oil
Great oil, smells nice and worked well for my beard oil blend. I did some research and this was a non-typical carrier oil I wanted to try. Leaves a nice shine and absorbs well.

I just started using this product
I just started using this product, thus it is too soon to write a review since I have only used this product 3 times.
I’ve been trying many of the cleansers that GOW makes and I love them all, but I think this is my absolute favorite so far. The texture is absolutely luxurious and I love the smell. It’s really gentle on my sensitive skin yet leaves it feeling clean and soft. Thanks for another great product, GOW!
Margie,
This is so lovely to read… thank you
It means a lot, especially knowing you’ve tried so many of our cleansers. We’re really glad this one is standing out for
you… that balance of gentleness, softness, and still feeling clean is exactly what we hope for.
Our best, always your GoW team and Jen, of course ℒ ♡

Lyn ... Thank you!
This means so much… truly ❤️
Hearing that it’s making a visible difference, especially in deeper lines, is something we never take lightly. And the fact that you came back for the larger size, and then again during the sale… that kind of trust means everything to us.
Thank you for sharing this so thoughtfully.
Markey, Jen, and our amazing team ͙֒

Hi Margie!
This is such a good description
That “rich at first but absorbs quickly” feeling is exactly the sweet spot… I’m so glad your skin is loving it.
NOTE: My skin loves it too. My hands are about to turn 70 (nothing else, of course), and this is very comforting.
Thank you for being a lovely customer and friend.
