It's been a long time since I've tried a new shampoo/conditioner combo. I picked up this duo at my local Target (yes I know Target Canada is dead!!) but I have also seen this duo at my local health food store. I decided to give this a try as I like using more natural products on my hair, especially shampoo and conditioner. Before we get into it, here are my hair details:
About my hair:
Texture: Curly/wavy

The Product: Giovanni Cosmetics Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo & Conditioner
This duo is meant to get your hair squeaky clean and (see source here):
- Increases scalp circulation for a refreshed, renewed feel
- Strengthens hair with a three-organic-oil-blend to stimulate, condition and clarify
- Alleviates dry, flaking scalp with organic tea tree botanicals
The ingredients of the shampoo are impressive with the amount of naturally occurring ingredients. I was however surprised to find alcohol as the second ingredient in the shampoo as this can be very drying to the hair. Apart from the ingredients of this duo, I quite enjoyed the packaging with rectangular prism - I think these looked great in the shower.

The Results
This shampoo and conditioner had great potential - with the tea tree oil that helps get my hair squeaky clean. After every wash and condition , however, it was a struggle to comb my hair - to the point where I think I did more damage on my hair by using this shampoo and conditioner because I constantly had to work on knots no matter how much conditioner I used. I wouldn't recommend this shampoo and conditioner to anyone. The way it caused my poor thin hair to knot up, I can only imagine what it would do to thick hair. STAY CLEAR of this shampoo and conditioner!
