Review on Desert Essence Organics Shampoo Conditioner by Maya Allen

What I like most about this shampoo/conditioner set is that the first ingredient is NOT water. I used the shampoo to avoid many of the nasty chemicals/flavors found in regular shampoos/conditioners but couldn't get used to it. I wanted to go back to my "normal" hair washing routine. Have tried many products in the past but they were all still considered "dirty" in terms of ingredients. On the Think Dirty app, this is rated with 3 points, which is still in the green range. I'm so excited about this as I honestly believe the scent in most products is why my cycles are so painful (note that more than just the shampoo/conditioner has been changed to address the side effects of painful periods to reverse). The aroma of this combination is refreshing but not overpowering. I can barely smell the lemon while my hair is drying and once dry it doesn't smell much at all. My hair stays clean until the end of the second day when I have to wash it again (Day 3 in the morning). I usually have semi-greasy hair the next morning of shampoo day. That's nice! I think I use too much product as my hair is long so I use a tube of conditioner very quickly. IDK what it is, but I really have to squeeze both tubes for the product to come out, so I think it's actually forcing me to use less - maybe that makes sense. OR is the lack of water, which in turn makes the product thicker. All in all, no judgment yet on whether my hair stays healthy as I've only been using it for about 1 week. Pretty happy start!
