Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

1. MY HAIR I have oily roots + dry hair, and at times, there's some buildup on my scalp. I've been researching a lot about shampoos and conditioners and what is the best way to take care of my hair. 2. INITIAL THOUGHTS This is an incredible shampoo + its accompanying conditioner, it cleans my scalp and leaves my hair really soft. Usually, the day I shampoo, my hair is quite dry and is a mess but the next day my hair starts looking better. It leaves hair soft and clean for a long time. With other shampoos, I felt my hair was always 'heavy' and dull but not with this. You can probably go without shampooing for a few days. This shampoo contains COCO-BETAINE, which is a gentle cleanser. 3. BE CAREFUL THOUGH - THE SHAMPOO I've been reading about sulfates and silicones in shampoos/conditioners and how people are avoiding these harsh ingredients and reaching for sulfate-free and silicone-free products. Even though this product is silicone-free, it still has SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, which, you guessed it right, is a sulfate. (See the picture I've attached). 4. BE CAREFUL THOUGH - THE CONDITIONER The accompanying conditioner contains ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, which is a drying alcohol one should avoid. It also contains CETEARYL ALCOHOL, which is good moisturizing alcohol. (See the picture I've attached). After using this product for a few weeks, I think what's happening is that it's drying out my scalp a bit and because of that, my scalp is producing natural oil to compensate, which is leading to build up and more oily-ness on my scalp. 5. YOU DO YOU These points may not be valid to you if you don't care much about ingredients and this product is working well for you. I just wanted to give a summary of how I've started to read labels and how I choose products. 6. HELPFUL INFO There are also some brilliant concepts like CO-WASHING (sulfate-free conditioner-washing) and LOW-POO (using gentle, sulfate-free shampoo), you can Google more about these. These methods have changed people's hair for the better and they even claimed their hair does not flake, itch, or get oily as it did before.
