have you ever see one of those head and shoulders commercial? i really really like them. especially the “healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp” line they have going.
so a few weeks ago, disregarding the fact that their shampoo have tons of ingredients my scalp probably wouldn’t like, i bought a huge container at costco.
after 3 days of using it (and i just never seem to get the clean scalp or beautiful hair without dandruff), i was getting a bunch of tiny little reddish bumps at the back of my hairline. and they were really itchy and irritating. i asked james to see if they were pimple-like and he said no. but boy, were they itchy or what! i couldn’t stop scratching them and he said maybe it was something i used.
i tried really, to use more natural-like or products without a bunch of ingredients – such as parabens or in this case with shampoos and conditioners – methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone. everytime i see these ingredients, i think, do i want to use this product? i remember reading something about these a year or so back and had in mind it’s not something i’ll want to use.
but the “healthy scalp and healthy hair” line really got to me so i did. big mistake, i know. i’ve also tried regular brands like tresemme, dove, patene, vivie, and a bunch of others.
i went back to using my regular stuff – shikai’s color shampoos & conditioners and yes to carrots (oh try their conditioner – smells great and make your hair smoother). while i haven’t yet reach the “healthy scalp and healthy hair” stage, at least i don’t have an itchy scalp.
I really like to use head and shoulders. The name may sound horrible and embarrassing, but it works wonder. It gives my scalp healthy and lesser dandruff. I also like the smell and leaves me this refreshing sensation after a shower.
