 Scalp Sync Universal Conditioner

Most Helpful Critical Review

Okay but not great

This was given as a set to test labeled as Scalp sync. The products are to be applied in the following order - purifying scalp concentrate (leave in for 15 minutes before rinsing), shampoo, conditioner (leave in about 3 minutes before rinsing), Oil balancing serum (to washed and towel dried hair). T...he shampoo and serum are aimed at oily hair. While the conditioner and concentrate are labeled as all scalp types. My scalp tends to be very oily and I can't usually skip daily shampooing, especially in the summer. First big WARNING these are all labeled with a sunburn. Which going into to summer is not something I want at all and already makes me hesitant about this product line. Second WARNING the concentrate and serum as labeled as flammable until dry. Not completely unusual for certain types of hair care products, but still something to be aware of. Now I started by testing the whole set as instructed. Normally for my hair to fully adjust and for me to understand if it works for my hair it takes about two to two and half weeks. So that is what I gave the whole system. Unfortunately for me it didn't seem to help at all with oiliness and it may of even made it worse. Now going into summer my hair is definitely more oily in general, but this was way worse than my regular shampoo. This plus the sunburn warnings would make me not recommend the product. I did also test for another two weeks just using the shampoo and conditioner, skipping the concentrate and the serum. My hair and scalp seemed to like that combo a lot better. Still not as good as my regular shampoo and conditioner but better than using all four products. So my scalp did not seem two like the concentrate and serum. Maybe these products were just an outlier for my hair and needed more time to work, but I doubt it. Scent wise, it is very mild. There is a slight floral tea smell, since they are labeled fermented tea. But it is no where near an overpowering smell and it fades quickly. They all apply easy and the shampoo and conditioner lather well with minimal amounts. The only other potential issue is that they may be a trigger for my psoriasis and I have since stopped using it them to try and pin point that. I mainly noticed outbreaks on my back where the shampoo and conditioner would most like touch and run off while washing my hair. This was the only new product I had introduced so it was most likely the cause but with how finicky it can be I will have to see how quickly it clears to know it if really was the cause.
