Earthwise Aloe Vera Shampoo Review

As you are all probably well aware if you read my reviews; I am all for trying new hair care products to see which is best suited for my hair needs. I was told my scalp is very sensitive to harsh chemicals by the hair dresser so I decided to try something a bit more friendly for my scalp. Enter Earthwise Aloe Vera Shampoo.

I have a sensitive scalp so it is at most times very irritated and sore. I liked the look of this shampoo because it has aloe vera in it. As most people know aloe vera has soothing and healing properties. So of course I have to give it a go to see if this was the one I had been waiting for. The one that would help rescue my scalp.

The design of the bottle and the brand is quite boring but I can see they are trying to keep to a clean green image. I guess they are trying to stay true to the name ‘earthwise’. If that is what they were trying to achieve then they accomplished it. I do rather dislike the shape of the bottle. It’s hard to grip when my hands are soapy and wet. It is a squeezable bottle that helps me get just enough product, without too much escaping.

The shampoo itself is quite thick and creamy. It means that I have to use even less than most shampoos because it goes further. It lathers up quite a lot which is something I love in a shampoo. It has a way of making me feel a lot cleaner when it lathers better. After rinsing my hair feels quite stringy and straw like. It has tangles where there were no tangles before. It feels dry and dull almost like it may break at any time.

Fast forwarding four weeks, my hair feels lifeless and very dry. It has created a scalp full of flaking skin from being too dry I would assume. My scalp feels in worse shape after using it. The aloe vera did nothing to sooth or replenish my head. If anything it irritated my scalp further. All in all it’s not a shampoo I would ever use again. It did more damage than good.
