Wash day has become the bane of my existence.
How do you prepare your natural hair for wash day?
Wash, Rinse and repeat.
Repeat with conditioner of course, then I’m done! I personally don’t see a need for a 7 step process on wash day because my 4 step process is long enough.
When Maple Holistics reached out to me to do a review on their Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and Tea Tree Oil Conditioner, I had to say of course because mere tea tree oil itself works heavens. Accepting hair products from an unknown company is always makes me cringe a little bit because our hair strands are just like any other cell in our body and can cause major reactions if it isn’t paired well with a complimentary product. So you all know I’m sensitive about my ishh(In the words of Miss. Erika Badu)

What I think:
Upon opening the shampoo, I could immediately smell the tea tree oil, it was probably the strongest I have ever smelled as it mimicked a menthol scent. Menthol doesn’t bother me much, but if you are sensitive to smell then stay clear. The shampoo had a medium consistency and I didn’t have to use much of the product to get a good lather.
As I mentioned prior, washing my hair is so strenuous because the knots that form in my head are ridiculously hard to get out. Unfortunately, this shampoo made my hair even more knotted because it didn’t have any slip. Please be aware, the only shampoos that do have slip are moisturizing shampoos. The Tea Tree oil shampoo stripped my hair of any oils and residue that was built up on my strands. To some, this may sound scary, but for me I enjoyed it. I like giving my hair a good clarifying wash every now and then, other wise my hair will appear limp.
I can definitely say after my first wash my scalp felt as if it could breathe again! It claims to reduce dandruff however I won’t be able to truly notice results with only one or two uses. But in the present moment, the dandruff has subsided.
I probably wouldn’t use this as a weekly shampoo, but on the days I want my hair to be really purified and rid of residue, this bad boy is it!
As a curly girl, you have to make sure that you are restoring your hair’s natural PH balance and moisture for optimal health. In this case, if you were to use the Maple Holistics Tea Tree Oil shampoo please deep condition to replenish your strands.
