Motions Nourish & Care Active Moisture Lavish Shampoo for Intense Hydration & Gentle Cleansing for Dry, Damaged, & Natural Hair 16 oz
Motions has been a fixture in textured hair routines for decades, and Nourish & Care is the gentle, moisture-heavy end of the range.
The 16 oz bottle is aimed at hair that runs dry, whether that is natural texture, damage from heat, or the after-effects of chemical processing. It cleans the scalp and lifts product buildup without taking the natural oils along with it, and it puts moisture back during the wash so the hair is not waiting on the conditioner to feel human again.
What you notice is the comb-through. Hair that fought you before comes apart more easily, sits softer, and holds a style without the roughness that makes everything harder. Suits dry, damaged and natural hair across curl types 2a to 3c. Follow with a conditioner or deep treatment on the lengths, and keep the shampoo concentrated at the scalp where the dirt actually is.

Application tips
Soak the hair through before any product touches it, because dry hair drinks shampoo and gives very little lather back.
Half a palmful, worked into the scalp with fingerpads rather than nails, then let the run-off do the lengths on its way down. One wash usually does. Go twice only after heavy oil or a build-up of gel, and condition either way.
Results
Sweat, product and grease come off without that squeaky, stripped feeling on the scalp afterwards.
Hair stays soft while still wet, so a comb goes through before conditioner has even gone on. Dry lengths look less dull once rinsed. Nothing is left behind to weigh the roots down, and the hair dries clean but pliable.
