Maple Holistics Tea Tree Shampoo Review

I was contacted by the lovely Lauren, from Maple Holistics, to do a review on their Tea Tree Shampoo and I thought to myself that it must be my lucky day. I was on the hunt for a shampoo that was perfect for my overly dry hair.

It claims to:

It says it contains 98 all-natural compounds to promote scalp health.

Capable of soothing an irritated scalp.
Potential to naturally eradicates lice.
Leaves hair and scalp rejuvenated and fresh.

Ingredients

Aqua, Jojoba Oil, Botanical Keratin, Argan Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Oil, Rosemary Oil.

Pros that I have noticed

1. The smell is amazing, like tea tree essential oil, obviously.
2. The lather on this is ridiculous, so use sparingly.
3. After washing and detangling my hair feel soft and lush and not at all stripped like it usually does.
4. My usually itchy scalp, especially after combing my hair, itch no more.
5. I have not seen an dandruff since use this.

Cons that I have noticed

1. It does not have the cooling feeling that I get when I use any tea tree shampoo.

Conclusion

If you are looking for an affordable shampoo that is cruelty-free, parabens-free, GMO-free, and gluten . After about a month of use, I feel like my hair is softer, healthier and has a natural sheen compared to its dullness.

Neem Water

For more information on the benefits of neem in natural hair, click here. Before, when my hair was processed and was damaged (I'm talking breakage, hair loss, fizziness, dryness, etc.), I discovered neem. This literally strengthen and restore my hair to it's former glory. Now that I'm natural again, I can't live without this.

Power: 1 TBSP neem powder to 1/3 cup warm water. Shake well before using.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Buy: powder or oil

Favorite Styling Product:

I do absolutely nothing much to my hair but when I do I tend to go for a ponytail or pigtails. Now I have tried so much gels that claim to slay my edges and lets just say this is the best results I have found. I, however, am not a fan of it because it leaves a lot of build-up in my hair and it is drying. To combat the drying, after my hair is dried with the gel, I add a bit of argan oil over it and for the build-up I co-wash my hair every two to three days with ACV wash.

Favorite Co-Wash Products:

This helps me with my dandruff problem, removes build-up from my scalp, balances the pH levels on my scalp and leaves my hair soft, shiny and healthy.
