Sage and Rosemary Shampoo Sulfate Free - Sage Oil Clarifying Shampoo for Build Up and Scalp Moisturizer - Oily Hair Shampoo for Greasy Hair and Dry Scalp Treatment with Essential Oils for Hair

I've had dandruff since I was a teenager and have tried many different shampoos and showering routines and nothing helped. It wasn't until my wife bought this shampoo for me to try that it finally went away in my late 20's. I have dark brown hair and like wearing dark clothes so it was always such an embarassing aspect of my life that I no longer have to worry about. Been using this shampoo for about 6 years now and it still works great (even in the Florida humidity). No dandruff, no itch, leaves my hair feeling soft, and retains my natural curls. My hair is about 2 to 3 inches long and I go through about 1 bottle a year washing once daily, so it requires very little for full scalp coverage. I am impartial to the smell. It doesn't smell unpleasant and isn't very strong once you rinse it out but it's not something I would want made into a sprayable scent. I am also an unscented kind of person with everything I buy so I feel that way about most things with any scent. It just smells like oregano to me. If it keeps the shampoo free of chemicals that aren't needed then it's a fair tradeoff to smell slightly herb-ish.

Full disclosure, I am not a hair professional. My hair is dark brown and of the wavy type. I had my hair buzzed off and then bleached in 2015 , then dyed a few months afterwards. Haven't done anything else to it since then. But when my dark hair did grow back, to my dismay, the frizz I had since my dweeb years in high school had also made a triumphant return. And I hated it. But having grown up in the age of information, I understood what has been made clear to us as the consumers. That, in many cases, our selection for cheap solutions come at a costly price to our bodies. Through one of these many health revelations, as a young American consumer becoming health conscious, I concluded that maybe my frizz problem could be attributed to the ingredients used for cheaper alternatives. I've since then made many changes to my life, including my diet, which led me to update many of my hygiene products to more "natural" substitutes, packaged in convenient plastic solutions. All attainable within my budget, of course. So, it's not the heaven-sent correspondence to my daily struggles, but we work with what we got. And I don't got a lot. I decided I would explore deep in the amazon for options that would more or less leave my hair nice for as long as possible in between washes, which also meant that I was looking for quality shampoo with healthier ingredients that wouldn't damage my scalp or hair... at least, according to my very limited knowledge on the science of hair maintenance. And the good news is that I am content with this one. I first bought a bottle 5 months ago, and I still have a bit left over in the bottle for another 4 or 6 uses. With this shampoo I wash my hair twice a week, and even on the day I set up for a lather, my hair isn't a greasy monstrosity as it was prior to switching to Sage. My head would just start to get noticeably oily when I rearranged the strands from their set positions, but otherwise harmless and nice enough to go for a coffee in public. However, I have been exercising more rigorously in the warmer season of California's June days, so I do try and uphold the two-days-a-week system. I kept it easy and simple, following the painless directions printed on the label since day one. The strong minty scent from the oils are pleasant to me, likely due to my taste for minty scents and flavors like dark chocolate peppermint ice cream... I understand that not all are delighted with the keen fragrance of mint-like products, but perhaps you will find that creating a new custom with a pleasant outlook can maybe, possibly, teach your senses to tolerate certain, fierce, aromas. It's all up to the individual, but I digress. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but I do feel refreshed after a good lather with this stuff. I admit, I find deep satisfaction within the brief time I use to thoroughly massage my head after a long day; basking in the mixed scents of sage, rosemary, tree tea, and the rest of the oil assortment that were aptly blended into the silvery, white goo. This is some pretty good stuff.

I purchased this months ago and used it but had forgotten about it. Now that I am home I had fungus on 3 of my toes for years so since COVID is here I decided to tackle it. I read bottle and it says anti fungus so I thought I would give it a try. I put about 2 tablespoons and 40 Oz warm water in a small basin and then soak my feet in it every night for 30 minutes. Then I would use it to wash my feet every morning in the shower. Then bought over counter Lotrium spray and I sprayed my shoes daily also. After I soak my feet in this shampoo I let them dry natural then spray lotrium on my feet too! BUT OMG. ONE NAIL was severe yellow and it’s only been couple weeks and it is showing signs of less yellowing. I notice When I soak my feet I can feel this shampoo tingling my toes etc. and smell is gone. I know it takes long time and dedication but THIS SHAMPOO WILL CURE FUNGUS ON TOES. I also had itching head and I was losing hair. I shampoo with this also and later it up and leave it on for about 5 minutes on my head before rinsing. It will make your hair feel like straw but don’t care it takes away itch and my hair quit falling it. I did buy an expensive green tea conditioner Korean Product that’s all natural too. Don’t use any other hair products. This shampoo WORKS. I buying more for my whole body to get rid fungus tors forever. Women listen up NO NAIL POLISH. YEA MY TOES ARE UGLY BUT I HAVE to cure this. So when you go out I get Lotrium spray and cover them in white powder to hide ugliness of them. I only wear shoes when I have to Let your tors breath. If I do wear shoes I also bought Lotrium powder that I dump into my socks before put them on. Then home wear sandals. Soak your hair brushes and combs in this shampoo too. YEs at first I was using red vinegar, Vick’s, tea salts etc. I notice after couple times that this shampoo was killing fungus. When hair lather runs down your back it makes your body feel so good. I will never go without. Only buy this type because of the sage and other ingredients that kill fungus. Then other product I bought off of here was Remedy soap. It’s a black anti fungal soap. Used it this morning to wash my feet first and wow it’s powerful too. Remedy soap wash shower first then use some of this shampoo. At night warm foot soak with this shampoo. I am just blown away Nothing has worked for my fungus toes!! Have to be dedicated and it will go away. IF YOU HAVE FUNGUS TOENAILS SOAP AND SOAK WITH THIS.

Background: I've been using various dandruff shampoos for over a year now to try and tame my itchy, oily, uncomfortable and (frankly) ugly scalp issues with limited success. I have chest-length dark wavy hair and the yellowy/white waxy dandruff, bumps and constant itchiness were really doing a number on my self-esteem while the Rx (ketoconazole 2%) and drugstore options (head & shoulders, neutrogena t-sal, selsun blue naturals, nizoral a-d) were doing a number on my hair and helping, but not getting rid of my scalp issues. Even with huge amounts of conditioning even during shampooing, my ends were getting really dry, split and battered from the very harsh shampoo and I wanted to try something without all the detergents. I'd love to be able to dye my hair again without having dandruff shampoos strip the color right back out. Pros of this product: I like that they're very clear what ingredients are for which purpose and the lack of harsh surfactants (detergents), my hair is left very shiny, soft and bouncy after washing and it doesn't seem to mess with my curl pattern or to dry out my ends. The itching is cut down considerably the day of shampooing and well into the day after, which is a huge win for me since even right after shampooing with the very strong Rx shampoo, my head would still be itchy right after the shower. I've seen a decrease in my dandruff and I feel like there might be fewer bumps but I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. Cons: Price is much higher than I'm used to spending for shampoo but my options are limited if I want a dandruff shampoo that I can use once I color my hair. I understand that the ingredients aren't cheap, but do look at the Oz size so you're not surprised by the size of the bottle when it arrives. I'm considering shampooing with another mild, cheap shampoo first and then following with this one to see if I can get the same benefit without using as much product but if that doesn't work then I'll deal with the price since it helps my itchiness and won't strip color. The smell is strong and isn't my taste. It is very earthy, herbal and almost tea-like and I can put up with it since I'm pretty sure it comes with the ingredients and isn't just an added fragrance. It's very strong when you're in the shower and does linger in dry hair more than I'd like. Overall: Worth a shot for those who are tired of the drugstore options and looking for something less harsh but still effective. Awesome for those who like earthy/spicy scents and workable for those who don't. I'll see if it keeps delivering once I dye my hair again but based on my experience so far, I think it's gentle enough that it'll work well and I plan to repurchase when I run out. EDITED TO ADDRESS HAIR DYE COLOR ISSUE 1/10/15: So I bumped this down a star because it is not as color safe as I was hoping it'd be. I dye my brown hair a deep red and although reds are known to fade fast, it definitely strips more color from my hair than a regular sulfate-free shampoo does. Salon color is not cheap and it fading even faster than usual is really not okay with me. Part of the stripping may be due to the fact that the directions have you leave it on your scalp for a while in the shower, but I think even double washing with a very mild shampoo is probably better for my color than using this shampoo. I used a full bottle and was partway into my second bottle when my stylist mentioned that my color was way more faded than it should be if I was using a sulfate-free shampoo. I'm leaving 4 stars because it's a good product otherwise, but proceed with caution or use rarely with dyed hair.

I've been having dandruff issues since high school. It's never been consistently worse though. It has it's own peak and off-peak times like some times it gets really bad and I notice a lot of itching and peeling of the dry scalp skin with hair loss. I've done a lot of research online for over years on various products that are available in the market. I tried all the generic ones but as they did not work at all, I moved on to chemical based shampoos such as Nizoral AD (active ingredient: Ketoconazole), Neutrogena T-Gel (active ingredient: Coal tar) and Selsun Blue( active ingredient: Selenium Sulfide) out of which 'Coal tar' based shampoo never worked for me. Selsun Blue did work. But over a period of time, it made my hair really rough and lose it's texture.. so I stuck with Nizoral AD which is really a good Anti-Dandruff shampoo. But you have to remember this folks....there is no permanent cure for dandruff as it could come back over a period of time which is caused by a fungus named 'Malassezia globosa' that naturally inhabits on our scalp. Higher than normally accepted levels of this cause dandruff. I've always wanted to try a herbal based shampoo as I am not a big fan of chemical based products. I found this shampoo on Amazon, read through some reviews and wanted to try this (being skeptical). To my astonishment, this product really worked. I'm really impressed with the results. I found this to be equally good compared to Nizoral (actually a little more better than Nizoral). The herbal ingredients in this shampoo are so potent that my scalp is really dandruff-free now after using the shampoo (4 times in 15 days. The only downside that I've noticed is.. it could make your hair a little stiff (similar to the effect of a Volumizing shampoo) but it will go away in a day or two. I still continue to use this shampoo every 4 days. Tips: - Make sure you massage the shampoo into wet hair for about a minute or so and leave it on for about 3-4 minutes. - Try to use 'Shampoo scalp massage brush' for faster results. After you apply the shampoo, gently scrub your entire scalp with the massage brush to get rid of dandruff which also helps shampoo to get effectively into the scalp skin (I found the brush thing to be really helpful). - Repeat the process one more time for the first couple of washes. I hope this review helps. By the way....this is my first review ever. This product made me write one.

I meant to write this review a week into trying this product because I wanted to test it out a bit before reviewing but ended up forgetting. So instead of a week of trying, I've been using this product for about a month straight (minus a few days) and can honestly say this is how it works. For those who don't like long reviews: Pros: It goes a long way. Lathers well. Fast results. Lessens the dandruff with continuous use. Makes your hair a little less dull in color. (?) Neutral: The smell. If you like tea tree oil/sage than you'll love this but if you don't then you might not. But it is allot better option then the chemical smell you get with most dandruff shampoos. Cons: Expensive. Makes your hair a little tough sometimes when washing out the product. Doesn't get rid of the dandruff. First, I would like to point out that I had bought the 8 oz version and I still have a half of bottle left. I use a quarter amount (or a little more, especially if I wash twice) every wash so considering that, this shampoo goes a long way. Which is especially good for the price and makes it a great product, that is if only it got rid of the dandruff. To give a little background on my history with dandruff I've had been dealing with it for about a year. This is the first time I've actually dealt with this problem for such a long period of time and being so I've come to realize how awful it can really be. To itching all day, to those annoying flakes that start appearing everywhere much to my embarrassment, I've had a horrible time dealing with it. So horrible that I was becoming desperate with getting rid of it. That's when I started using products that were meant to "get rid" of it. But alas, none of them worked. The cheap store brand shampoo I used only helped calm it down (which was what this shampoo did, except this one is much much more expensive.) and the home remedies (I said I was desperate didn't I?) were awful to experience with and didn't give any results at all. (Let's just say sitting with yogurt in your hair for an hour isn't the funniest thing you could do with your time.) So after awhile of fail after fail, I came on amazon to look up products and their reviews. I thought that if the reviews were good enough, that the product might actually work. There were actually quite a few more products rated higher then this one but what caught my eye was that this was a more "natural" way of getting rid of dandruff. And knowing that allot of the other products were probably not the safest thing to put on your hair, I decided to go with this one. With all the good reviews and the fact that is was sulfate free (I've been wanting to go sulfate free with shampoos for awhile now), I didn't think I had anything to lose. I wasn't the keenest on the price ($8 is allot for a shampoo to me) but I thought that since people said it worked well and that of course shampoos that are more natural will cost more, I cringed my way to the checkout, ordered it, died a little on the inside, and then waited patiently for it to arrive. The product came 8 days later and I used it right away. The shampoo had a somewhat thick consistency and the smell is exactly like what you would expect, tea tree oil and sage. And though allot of people said it smelled strong, I have to disagree. Sure it makes your bathroom smell like a herbal store (which could be a plus or a minus) but when used it your hair it leaves only a slight smell behind. When using, it lathers well which I liked because unless it suds, I don't think it works. It doesn't make your hair soft but rather ruff/hard and so you might have to fight your way through with your fingers at the end of the wash. But weirdly this can be a thing that only happens in some washes, other times it leaves your hair the same way when using other shampoos. Here are the directions of the shampoo that I followed when using: Rinse hair, massage quarter sized-amount throughout scalp, allow the therapeutic benefits a few minutes (2-3) to osmose before rinsing. Repeat and follow with a final rinse. Tips: Use warm water throughout the duration of the shower. Finish off with a blast of cold water to seal the cuticle. Looking back I realize that I didn't wash twice every time either. But I don't think that would effect the results or change them. I will do so with the rest of the product just in case. The very first morning I felt a HUGE difference. The dandruff wasn't gone all the way and the itching was slightly there but it was so much less than before. The flakes were also all but almost gone. I was about sold with this product. Gone almost in just one wash? YES. This made me think that in a few more washes, the dandruff would be completely gone! A few washes later... Nope. The results were the same, which is good and all since it makes the dandruff less horrible but I bought the shampoo to get rid of the dandruff, not to lessen it. Then one night I decide not to take a shower and when I woke up the dandruff was right back to it's horrible state. So I made sure to take a shower each day but I got the same results. It lessened it when I used it and when I stopped it just came back. So while this shampoo was a great concept in the beginning, in the end it didn't do anything different than what every other shampoo I've tried in this category does. Which is a bit disappointing, especially for the price. Though it does says money back guaranteed but even then I don't know if that means if the products doesn't work at all. UPDATE: After reaching out with an email to Maple Holistics about the product and results, they emailed me back within minutes with an offer to try another product absolutely free and gave me back my full refund. Can I just say wow? I don't think I've ever dealt with a company this awesome and hassle free. If I could give you 5 stars for customer service, I would! So in the end, I would suggest not buying this product unless you're looking for an instant and temporally relief for just a bit. If I end up finding another product that works well with getting rid of dandruff, I will post it in this review.

What a deal! I get brazilian blow-outs and color my hair, so a good shampoo without sulfates is key. I also like shampoos that create suds - it just makes my hair feel cleaner. This shampoo satisfies all of that but the kicker: it keeps my hair from getting greasy for WAY longer than before. With other (much more expensive) brazilian blow-out shampoos, my hair would start getting greasy after day two. Now, I can go a week without greasiness - I love it!
