Cake Beauty The Two Timer Suds Free Cleansing Conditioner, 10 Ounce

Aug 2024- recieved 2nd order. Amazon wont take my complaint and my shampoo was open when it arrived. Very old product...still has strong stinky smell. Do not buy. Can not get satisfaction from Amazon or seller. So I received 6 oz of(bottle half full] this very cheap, juvenile pepto-pink syrupy non-foam God awful smelly shampoo named "Cake". Since I am familiar with a correcting rehydration formula I applied directly to my dry hair ends first. I sectioned my hair piece by piece and left it on 15 extra minutes. The smell was horribly 😫 hideous . But I endured. I rinsed with temped water (neither hot nor cold) and rolled my hair in curlers to air dry. My hair was completely repaired. The smell rinsed out thank God.

After reading so many negative reviews of this product, I was expecting a horrible smell and my hair either feeling like I had slathered lard on it or left it straw dry. I didn't experience any of these things. The smell isn't great, but it doesn't smell anything like burnt rubber, as several other users have said. As a matter of fact, I really have only 2 complaints about this product. First, as many others have complained, the bottle I received was nowhere near full. It was 3/4 full at best, and not even really that full. And the bottle wasn't open, so it seems like QA isn't paying attention to how full the bottle are before they're sent out. Second is that this product is very watery. Other comparable products I have tried are much thicker, more like a cream. I found that even more disappointing than the amount of product I received. UPDATE: I've used this product for almost a month now. At first, I was ok with the way this product made my hair feel. I have changed my mind. The past two times I've used it, my hair has felt horrible. I used it again this morning, to "give it the benefit of a doubt". Big mistake. My hair feels like I haven't washed it in a week. I will NOT be using what's left of the bottle I have.

The consistency of this cleanser is much like a watery conditioner, about average for a cleansing conditioner. But the smell is unappealing to me and I’m not in love with how my hair responds to it. Maybe it needs some astringent properties (some rosemary or tea tree oil?) to help your hair release the buildup and rinse cleanly. Depending on your hair routine you may have more or less buildup on your wash days and I’ve tried it under different circumstances and with varying water temperatures, I’m just not impressed by it and neither is my hair. And as for the scent, it isn’t that the product stinks, it just smells more like an old spice cake than say a chocolate cake or carrot cake… it has an unexpectedly masculine aroma and not in a good way. Plus, what woman wants to come out of the shower smelling like she used her husband’s products?

Smells good. Ok for in between shampooing. Cleans ok.

I discovered Cake products in a pinch and walked into Walgreens. I instantly fell in love! I love the smell and consistency of the products. I love cowashes. I have combination hair that's wavy/curly and cowashes work best for me - plus it's 1 less product to use. This stuff left my hair smelling and feeling amazing! I generally wash my hair every other day and I noticed with this cowash - my hair didn't feel dirty or weighed down after the second day - which leads me to believe it cleanse & nourishes my scalp and hair really well. Definitely going to be using this on the regular. Package arrived loose so it was a little messy.

I don't know what is wrong with the shampoo and conditioner, but they smell HORRIBLE! Not sweet at all. I do love the conditioner helps takes the tangles out. The shampoo makes my hair look and feel fresh for days. It's the SMELL that makes me hesitate reordering. All I can think to describe the smell is pepper. Like pepper was dumped in every bottle. I'm not the only one mentioning this issue, so hope the company works on that. The smell lingers on my hair even when dry 😭😭😭😯😯😯

I have thick, naturally curly hair and have always struggled with controlling frizz and poofiness. This product is a godsend and has done what no other conditioner or cleansing balm has ever been able to do. It always leaves my hair soft and smooth, and controls the volume. It smells like a cinnamon roll, almost good enough to eat! It washes out cleanly and doesn’t leave fragrance in my hair though. Several of the other reviews mentioned that this product leaked out of the bottle during shipment, but mine were both intact with no spill. The pumps/nozzles were secured in place with tape and they were sealed in plastic bags, so I’m guessing there have been improvements in packaging. Love this cleansing conditioner and will keep buying it as long as Cake makes it.

Ok everyone I have pin pointed the scent EXACTLY! As I took my first wiff, I knew I smelled this in my own home before but I could not identify it. I could pick up a hint of vanilla, and some spice but I still couldn’t place the spice. Then I picked up on a hint of cinnamon. Then I got it! It’s chai latte exactly!!! I’m not a vanilla fan but I LOVE this scent. I cannot say anything else since I won’t be using it for awhile. But the bottle is small for the price. And for those who complain about the bottle not full, mine arrived full since shipping caused pressure inside the bottle that the manufacturer must allow for. No complaint there. I decided to enjoy a chai latte drink after opening and smelling my shipment!

As a previous Wen user, I found this product pretty good. It's very affordable. The smell is a bit weird. I may add some lavender oil to it.

The product arrived partially open - see photo .

I really like this product... I have naturally curly and wavy hair; it helps reduce frizz and smells great! I ordered two bottles, one was leaking in the packaging; amazon sent a replacement... the replacement was also leaking. I did not notify Amazon of the replacement.

Reading other reviews, I was apprehensive. The good reviews left me hopeful. But unfortunately the bad reviews seemed to be accurate. Used it tonight and my hair is heavy and feels greasy. I rinsed the product from my hair thoroughly, yet that still left a heavy film in my hair. I'll try it a few more times. But I'm not hopeful. The smell is more pleasant in the bottle and does have a burnt marshmallow smell when in hair. But that's not a huge deal to me. It's the heavy film that's a no

Leaves my hair feeling clean without the build up which is what I wanted. I paid it with the cake shampoo scrub to remove buildup from other hair products that leave my hair greasy
