Awake Organics All Natural Shampoo Powder with Caffeine + Rosemary Oil. For Hair Growth + Volume. Sulphate Free, Plastic Free, Cruelty Free. Made in England.

I’ve been doing ‘no poo’ for a few years now and it’s done wonders for my hair, which is very fine and prone to looking oily when conditioned enough to keep it manageable.However, though my ‘no poo’ routine was effective, it was just too time-consuming and required a lot of prep.I bought this shampoo in the hope that it would provide the ‘no poo’ experience without the hefty time investment. Some of the reviews said that it left their hair feeling dry - but that is often the case when avoiding commercial shampoo and not yet knowing how to properly condition natural hair, so I wasn’t too concerned.I tried it today for the first time, and I’m very pleased.The caveats:* this wash was done after a few days of flax seed gel use, and this generally leaves my hair feeling soft and moisturised (though not this much!)* this is the absolute first wash - I’ll try to come back to update after I’ve used it more times* my hair is quite long and I probably used about a tbsp of the powder* as I usually would, I conditioned afterwards with a few applications of dilute apple cider vinegar* I don’t ‘rub’ my hair dry with a towel, just twist it up and leave the towel to absorb the water (this reduces frizz all round)The results:* my hair feels lovely: definitely clean, soft, light and shiny* my hair feels clean but not stripped, and was easy to brush and manageable while wet* now that it’s dried a bit, the new hair growth around my parting and temples is slightly fuzzy, since it’s not held down by its own weight (though I imagine a bit of flax gel will fix this in a moment)* the wash process was much faster and the powder feels a little bitty when mixed, but it doesn’t leave any residue or powder in the hairOverall, I’m very pleased with the results. So far, it seems to be an excellent shampoo that is gentle enough not to strip the hair like many commercial shampoos - and therefore doesn’t need a tonne of product just to make it look silky again.Definitely recommend, so far!

There is only one thing that is slightly inconvenient.It is hard to gauge how much you are about to tip into your hand. when in the shower, which lets face it is when most of us wash our hair, your hands are wet, so when you tip out some of the powder, if you accidently pour out too much, then it is wasted because you cannot put it back in the bottle damp. So this is the only fault and not worth deducting a star for.I absolutely love everything about this shampoo, I love the way it smells, I love the way my hair responded to it, I love the fact that there is nothing in it that will damage my hair. I have only just got it and have only used it once, but after using it, I have already got rid of my old liquid shampoo and conditioner. I will use them, but not on my hair. The shampoo will be used as hand soap and the conditioner I will use for shaving my legs and pits.This powder shampoo is exactly what my hair was crying out for, it has gone from being frizzy and lack lustre to shiny and looking like healthy frizz free hair in just one use.The smell is divine and I could still smell it in my hair after it had dried, so it really and truly is a gorgeous product.I read other reviews before buying and people were saying that they thought it to be a little expensive, I would have to disagree with that, but then again, I am use to buying liquid shampoos that are pretty pricey, Salon grade stuff.This little power packed bottle will last a very long time and as far as I am concerned, pound for pound, it is well priced.As for travelling, it is such a convenient sized bottle with a good quality screw cap, it will fit into a small toiletry bag with no issues.I have no problem in recommending this lovely shampoo, I am going to keep buying it, but I am also going to try their scalp scrub, it looks pretty awesome too.

Shampoo, that is all - Bald man at 25

This is great. Stopped my hair loss and made my hair feel fresher for longer. I pair it with their conditioner and it feels great. Also smells divine

I love the fact that the ingredients are from natural sources.Initially , I was sceptical about its powder form, but no need to worry, although there are no unnatural sulphates, it soon lathers in your hands .It will last a long time as only a small amount is required for each wash.

Got this for a friend

Whilst I like the idea, it is a highly overpriced shampoo. Have been using it for a while, and have not noticed any change. Yes, the hair is soft (just like with other natural shampoos I've tried), but I feel like it doesn't wash my scalp properly as it's got quite itchy. It lathers ok, but the powder is hard to shake out onto your palm after a while. The bottle is really small, and whilst I get it's 3 x concentrated, I don't find it value for money.

I love this shampoo. Really easy to use, especially when travelling. Makes my hair feel amazing.
