Absolutely loved trying these Akin products! This was my first time trying from this brand and it definitely made me want to get more. The shampoo had a devine scent of cedar wood, geranium & patchouli. The aroma lingered in my bathroom even after the shower.
It had a medium thickness consistency, it didn’t just dribble off the hand neither felt thick like in was piling it on. It was smooth and is a glowy clear colour with a hint of yellow. You don’t need too much as it spreads far, and has a nice easy lid that pops open, which was perfect and easy in a wet shower. The bottle sizes are generous and I felt like I didn’t need to wash my hair as often after using this product, which was great!
I did think the product is a little expensive, but after using it and seeing the bottle sizes made it seem like better value.
Overall, the shampoo made my hair feel clean, refreshed and smelling good! I would definitely recommend those looking for a good quality shampoo to try it out.
A bit of background first:
I have Psoriasis on my scalp, the kind where you end up peeling your skin off like scales on a fish that can end up extending down onto my face, so I normally have to use a special anti-dandruff shampoo or soak my scalp in Jojoba oil prior to washing. This unfortunately normally causesa little agitation on my scalp as well as a bit of damage to my hair but it was the better option than having a bleeding dry scalp as it did offer some relief
I wanted to join this trial as I was seeking a Jojoba based product (as I've had good results using itbfor my scalp massages) that also did not contain the sulphates that normally exacerbate my skin condition while not leaving me smelling like a donkey after using it
I am extraordinarily happy to report that not only did my poor sensitive skin not have any reactions, but my scalp is currently almost completely clear of dandruff/scales and have been able to reduce the number of my scalp treatments using oil
For this trial I did stop using the "Donkey" shampoo to see if it could replace it entirely and I think we have a winner and there's still plenty left in the bottle to go
So in summary, no sensitivity reactions, a reduction in an already existing skin condition, it still cleaned my hair, I've had less "fuzz" after using it and I don't smell....wonkey.....
I normally use a rosehip oil to finish it off but as I'm typing this review I'm noticing mention of a hair mask which I'm now tempted to try after the success of this trial
My hair is most definitely smoother as a result and if I can figure out where to get it from I will definitely be buying and using again, very happy customer trial ending
Tips: You don't need to use a lot, a little goes a long way
