As well as Kukui oil, this shampo contains rosemary leaf extract. Rosemary has been shown in clinical trials to help stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss. One study from 2015 showed that rosemary leaf extract was just as effective as Minoxidil for treating hair loss, and even more effective at soothing an itchy scalp. The OGX Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo is a clarifying shampoo designed for greasy hair. Since I have dry hair I was worried that this product might make my hair dryer, but I found it was actually quite moisturising. Fairly long post, to cut a long story short, the owners of the hair care brand called 'OGX' has had a lawsuit filed against them for the ingredients in their hair care products that may cause things like hair loss and dandruff etc - read the post for my sister's issues with these products and you can find an article about the lawsuit below.

Tea tree oil (also known as Melaleuca) is a natural compound found mainly in Australia. It’s also is a strong anti-fungal and antibacterial agent that’s used in many personal care products. The antifungal properties have yielded some decent results in combatting the symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis in clinical tests. The addition of peppermint is interesting. It’s often added to invigorate the scalp, which is great for those suffering from dandruff and a dry scalp because the oil of peppermint can gently exfoliate and slosh away excess dry skin. It’s also stimulating and is great for increasing hair growth and increasing the turnover of the skin cells on the scalp to prevent build up. Greasy hair can be a bit of a faff. I know this. As a firsthand sufferer of oily roots, I understand (all too well) the frustration that comes with having to shampoo your hair every god damn day. Aaand don't even get me started on the the moment of pure panic brought on by realising your dry shampoo is about to run out...

I did not use this product for more than a couple of months, I no longer use it anyway as I didn't like it but my sister used it for at least 2-3 years and her hair condition is quite poor - she usually has a dry scalp, she is always losing lots of hair and it makes her unhappy so now that we have worked out that the 'OGX' shampoos and conditioners may very well be the cause of her hair related issues, I wanted to share this to this sub incase anyone is considering using those products or they are already using those products as they may be causing your hair issues. How it Feels: The tea tree shampoo is a gel-like texture and foams up quite easily. It left my hair and scalp feeling soft. I personally would have no need for a conditioner if I used this shampoo – however, your personal taste may vary there. How it Smells: The shampoo from OGX smells very minty, as expected, and left my skin smelling very pleasant and fresh. I really enjoyed the smell and would love to carry this scent around with me throughout the day.

The gentler surfactants used in this shampoo are Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, PPG-2 Hydroxy Coco/Isostearamide, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, and Trideceth-12.
