Conditioning scalp exfoliator from Philip Kingsley

Advantages: Relives scalp irritation, stimulated hair growth and improves hair condition
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...rinse, wash hair with a Philip Kingsley shampoo, conditioner and scalp toner. There is also warning on the packaging that you might experience a tingling sensation but this is a normal effect of the mask. I applied the product as per instructions on dampened hair. Basically, I put my hands under running water, then stroke the hair with my wet fingers until damp, but without water dripping down. There wasn’t any tingling or itching sensation during ...
...slightly thicker and stronger. Philip Kingsley advise that the mask is used initially at least once a week and then whenever required. I used it twice a week for the first 2 weeks and then once a week. There was enough product for 6 applications, which I think is a good value considering both the price and tube size. After all contents of the tube had gone, I decided to wait and see how long the effects would last without using the product. After ...

Review of Philip Kingsley Scalp Mask

BURN BABY BURN

Advantages: Price, easy to obtain, widely available
Disadvantages: Do not use on sensitive scalps!!!

If you have a sensitive scalp, possible open cuts etc... DO NOT TOUCH!!! You'd have to be sado-masochist... I have a very irritated, sensitive scalp and had this recommended to me by my GP. Poor guy, he thought he was doing me a favour. It's supposedly formulated for people exactly like me, with psoriasis, which I have on my scalp. I do not know how on earth people can use this, and I'm not even a severe case. I used it over 2 days. It is easy to ...
...(which is nice considering usual psoriasis hair products stink of tar...). Once on, one is supposed to let it sink in a bit, which I did, only to feel what felt like a blowtorch directed straight on my scalp!! I washed it off, the first night thinking it was an off evening or something, anyway, second night, same story. ENOUGH. Not sure what I did wrong, I guess my scalp is just too sensitive. I would not recommend it to anyone suffering from psoriasis ...

Review of Alphosyl 2-in-1 Shampoo

Tiny bottle without big results

Advantages: Not an offensive smell
Disadvantages: Not effective on serious scalp problems (in my case anyway!)

...serious, and didn't find this Nizoral effective. It didn't overly sting, but it didn't really stop the flakiness or dryness on my scalp. My hair felt washed, but I was left with my original problem after 2 weeks of trying. I wonder why they don't sell it in bigger bottles???!!! People with thicker/longer hair are going to find this difficult to use in my opinion, not to mention ineffective. Good luck! ...

Review of Nizoral Shampoo

The only remedy which worked for me

Advantages: It sooths a sore and dry scalp and prevents flakiness
Disadvantages: Because it is in bar form, it does not melt in my hands and is not that easy to use

I had a very dry scalp problem and tried all sorts of things to sort it out. Anti-dandruff products seemed to make it worse and sometimes parts of my scalp could be quite sore, particularly after using specialised chemical formulae. The girl who cuts my hair and I were worried I would lose some of my hair and although it is very fine and fairly thick, too much of it was falling out. I had difficulty using the Snake Oil bar to begin with, as I don't ...
...get it on to my scalp. I melt it in hot water to use it now and put it straight on to my scalp with my fingertips. Considering the amount of money I have spent on other various products to try to combat my scalp dryness and soreness, to have a bar of Snake OIl in my bathroom cupboard represents good value, as I know it will be completely effective when I need to use it. Now I have got used to using it, I don't find it difficult and it lasts for quite ...

Review of Lush Snake Oil Scalp Massage Bar

Nizoral didn't work for me

Advantages: Nice smell, on the day of use hair is thick and full
Disadvantages: Doesn't get rid of dandruff or greasy hair.

I have persistant dandruff, but the sort that only appears if i don't wash my hair every single day. I bought this after it's rave reviews. The bottle is tiny, and i mean tiny! i have longish shoulder length hair, and using the bottle as instructed would have meant i had only washed a tenth of it (i.e my scalp but still had filthy hair). The bottle lasted under 3 weeks. I had to go out and buy another in order to truely know if it had worked or not. ...
