More often than not, my scalp gets itchy and eventually flaky. It’s the flipside of having curly hair as you tend to have a dry scalp. Even so, sometimes in hot and humid weather, my scalp can produce excess oil which then makes my locks greasy and still feel itchy. So the problem prevailed yet the solution was still to be discovered until I found out that activated charcoal haircare products exist and they are made by one of the most trusted haircare brands.
It’s an intriguing concept considering how amazing charcoal is in skincare with its ability to draw out dirt and impurities, leaving you feeling squeaky clean. Well, if this natural ingredient works as well for the hair too then it is definitely worth a shot. Besides, using activated charcoal to clear up dandruff does sound like a great idea in theory, so I just had to put it to the test. I got my hands on the activated charcoal hair conditioner because it could be applied on both the scalp and hair. Here’s how it fared.
What Is It?
The St. Botanica Activated Charcoal Hair Conditioner is created to give your scalp and hair a detoxifying treatment. This unique conditioner can be applied to the scalp as it offers a cooling effect that helps control oily scalp conditions and makes your mane grease-free and refreshed. Enriched with other nourishing ingredients like shea butter, olive oil, silk protein, wheat protein, oat extract, and Vitamins, this conditioner helps deep condition the hair from root to tip without weighing it down.
Why Do We Love It?
Never have I tried charcoal in haircare let alone a conditioner that can be massaged on the scalp. After washing my hair with the activated charcoal shampoo from the same haircare range, I massaged this conditioner on my scalp and immediately felt invigorated. The texture is muddy and is similar to a watery clay mask but a little goes a long way. I’ve already used this conditioner twice and it has literally gotten rid of the flakes in this period of time. It even removes product buildup effortlessly and makes my mane smell like spearmint! Since I have dry scalp, I would use it maybe once a week only but I seriously recommend this for anyone with an oily scalp.
