Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner

[jessj48]

Hey guys! I got a new shampoo and conditioner the other day. I've only washed with them once but they seemed pretty awesome. It's the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Shampoo, and Tea Tree Conditioner. The ingredients look pretty safe to me, apart from a lot of oils that could (maybe) build up unpleasantly. Can you more experienced people see anything that could be problematic here? I'm avoiding harsh cleansers, cones, and have generally sensitive skin. I'm also trying to stretch out washes. Please excuse any spelling errors, I'm copying ingredients from the bottle. :)

Yum! Bet they smell divine. Are they from the health food shop? Not sure I've seen them in the supermarket.

I got them from the chemist in the hair section. I don't think I've seen them in a supermarket, but I've definitely seen them in a few chemists.

A little update for anyone who searches for info on this brand.

After using these for a while I found I don't like the shampoo. I'm not sure whether it doesn't have enough cleaning power or whether the amount of oils in it are too much for my hair. My hair is usually quite dirty by the time I wash it because I'm stretching washes. After using the shampoo I feel like I have a weird waxy residue and my hair feels greasy and looks piecey straight away. Because my scalp doesn't feel clean I end up getting itchy within a day or two.

On the other hand I still really like the conditioner. It washes out well but feels nourishing. It adds a lot of slip without cones (as least I don't recognise any on the label) and makes my hair easy to detangle.

I'm going to use other washing methods for my hair, but keep buying the conditioner to use.
