Hidden gem for a girl on her last clumps of hair
Background: I have traction alopecia from tight buns. For the last couple months I have had very bad dry dandruff hair that was itchy and getting pink. I have natural non dyed thin porous semi wavy and sometimes frizzy hair. Also lately my hair was coming out in clumps. It was getting to the point where I was afraid to shower because I would run my fingers through my hair and it was like my hair was melting off my head with the amount of hair coming out. I wanted something natural with solid ingredients that wasn’t going to cost a true arm and a leg to buy. Not a steal, but not a bank robbery either. Pros and Cons: The bottles are not huge. I was sad about that, but I like the shape of the bottles and you don’t need to use much product. The product will likely last me a couple months. The smell is different, but in a good way. I still can’t quite describe it. I smell a slight tint of ginger, Saw palmetto, and rosemary the most. It’s not a smell where I was instantly obsessed with, but overtime I am learning to love. It’s one of the first times my man has said my hair smells good, and it’s been the only shampoo that I can still smell in my hair the next day. It doesn’t lather instantly either, but once you start rubbing it in, it has a smooth and natural type of lather I have never felt before, but again in a good way. At first with the shampoo I was feeling hopeless. It didn’t give me that great smooth feeling after washing it out, but my scalp did feel very clean. I was starting to think I made a mistake. After the conditioner I had a much smoother feeling I strive for with my washes. The aftermath: Wow, I had about 60 percent less hair fall out with the first wash, that alone almost made me tear up with joy. Brushing my hair after the shower I saw again a drastically less amount of hair loss. My hair dried faster. It dried smooth and it was the first time I could run my fingers through my hair and not get a tangle or multiple strains of hair coming out when dry. The ends of my hair get very porous and I could tell a difference right away. My scalp felt a different type of clean-clean ! Now my next test. I had my hair up in a tight bun as always for 14 hours. Taking my ponytail out always results in hair loss wrapped around the ponytail. Not one piece of hair was in that ponytail! I seriously can’t believe I am seeing all these benefits in one use. After, I brushed my hair, again nervous because even when my hair is dry, brushing results to me pulling out all the dead hair in my brush, and looking at all the hair on the floor and over the sink. When I tell you there was maybe ten hairs in that brush I was amazed ! Lastly, my scalp is not as pink, my head is still itchy, but not like how it was and my dandruff has significantly improved. When I scratch my head I usually see a rain cloud of white flakes on my shirt after. Today, I did not see that rain cloud of flakes for the first time in 8 months at least. Even with me using dandruff shampoo I was still seeing flakes. NOT TOday baby NOT today! That was a bonus. I wasn’t expecting this to help with my dandruff problem. Final thoughts: I know this was long, but I was seriously on my last straw. If it helps someone great. I really wanted to give someone that full picture before blowing 40-50 dollars on something that probably wouldn’t work great. I am really hopeful on this product. I will do an updated review once I use it longer, but for now I am really excited and pleased with this stuff. Read more
