Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Shampoo

I love that it is a natural product and some people swear by it but for me I hate the potential smell. It doesn't help me with my flaky dandruff hair and dries my hair out.

I was hesitant to purchase a bottle of this Tea Tree shampoo, while I was still searching for the perfect shampoo for oily hair, as the little symbol on the bottle said that it expires three months after opening and I knew there was no way I'd finish the bottle in three months.

Well, three months down the line and I've had to throw away half the bottle because it's expired. Tea Tree being an essential oil and the bottle being constantly opened and closed, exposing the product to air, I wasn't prepared to continue using it after expiry in case my scalp reacted to the now altering Tea Tree oil.

It says its suitable for oily hair, yet after washing my hair with this shampoo it didn't feel or look very clean. Two hours after washing my hair and it was already starting to look limp and greasy, definitely not ideal. The smell is also quite overpowering (especially since we have a ShowerDome and there's no where for the scent to escape), and it does lather well.

Sadly, I won't be repurchasing this product or recommending it. It did get me wondering why companies don't also make smaller bottles of the same product when they have such a short shelf-life. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had to throw away a half-full bottle.

Really let down by Thursday plantation, it smelt far too strong and my hair felt really stripped and dry after using it! Even with using the Thursday plantation conditioner after the shampoo it was still really dry and hard to get a brush/comb through! And quite frankly my hair just ended up looking limp and greasy which is not the look i'm going for!! Will not buy again.

First of all the packaging I hate, because it's a very thick shampoo and so hard to squeeze out, especially when you're all wet and slippery in the shower! This shampoo does have a very strong smell of tea tree, which I personally enjoy but if your sensitive to smell, be wary. I had such a difficult time with this shampoo, it's so thick yet you need so much of it to actually get a good amount of product spread throughout your hair to feel like its being cleaned, if I use only a normal amount of this I feel like my hair is not clean at all, only more dry. This product dries up my hair so much, however, I personally cannot blame the shampoo because I have already damaged hair, but my boyfriend also used this shampoo and his hair gets so absolutely dry and frizzy after. Overall this product caused me to have dry but really good smelling hair, I do not recomend

I had run out of shampoo and found a set of this shampoo and conditioner in the shower so decided to try it. I figured it would be one of the guys' due to the smell and therefore hopefully they wouldn't mind a little bit missing from the bottle. The smell was really strong but it got my hair clean. I wasn't doing any hair treatments at the time so I only washed my hair when it got oily and this definitely did the trick. I don't know if it would help dandruff because I only used a couple times since I didn't want to use up my flatmates shampoo and conditioner. But it would probably be suited to people with oily scalps and those who suffer from pimples there due to the decent concentration of tea tree oil.

I brought the shampoo and conditioner together and both didn't meet my expectation. I do have long thick hair so I had to use quite a bit to cover my head. The smell of it is kind of strong- love the tea tree smell. For a small bottle and the price- not very value for money. It did last me a month and I wash my hair 2-3 a week. Would not purchase again only because it didn't do what it promise to do. Disappointed as I love the Thursday Plantation products.

Again one of not so favorites and dumped after trial!! used it coz it says its natural and tea tree did help with dandruff in winters..I felt not fully clean and oil used to be there next day in my hair. Cleaning was good for the day i used it, but next day it made me think should i rewash my hair or not..Oil production is a problem for me... definitely for hubby..he loves using it...Will not recommend people with oily hair..But definitely for dry hair.. Not bad to cleanse my scalp with it once a month though..

firstly the consistency is very runny and does not foam very well so i had to use quite a lot to create a foam cause i believe thats the only way to clean your oily hair , it has a coolling feeling when you using it ,but my hair still got oily after 2 days like usual ,and this makes my hair very dry just after washing.

First of all, the tea tree scent is quite overpowering but I don't mind it too much. I got this after using a shampoo that caused me to break out with dandruff. This shampoo stopped the itch but the flakes seemed to stay put. It's a strange texture but lathers really well and you don't need much. I am a bit worried about this as my hair does get very dry after using this and I tend to have to put a deep hydrating mask on the ends of my hair after use. I would use this again if only for the fact that it stops the itch for 2 days straight.

I use this product once a week (any more often and it will definitely damage your hair). I don't have overly oily hair, but it does get itchy and flaky occasionally.

I can't say whether it helps with flakes (every shampoo removes scalp flakiness for me), but any scalp itching I have does go away after using this.

The scent is also very strong, so if you don't like tea tree, steer clear. I, however, don't mind. Also, the bottle design needs to be improved, it's very firm plastic and hard to squeeze out.

This shampoo is very drying and you definitely need a hydrating, nourishing conditioner after.
