  • I was looking forward to trying this product as I am a big fan of products that use seaweed as their hero ingredient! However, I was a bit disappointed with the shampoo. I have very thin, dry, and occasionally brittle hair, and I look for natural hair care products–both shampoo and conditioner–that will 1) strengthen my hair and scalp; 2) help detangle hair post-shower to prevent breakage and hair loss, 3) help hydrate the hair, especially the ends. The shampoo didn't lather as well so I ended up using multiple pumps, and it left my hair extremely dry. The conditioner helped hydrate the hair but it wasn't enough to help detangle my dry hair strands that resulted from the shampoo. I do love the brand's mission though and I'm eager to try their hair/scalp serum.

  • The shampoo and conditioner were nice. They were lightweight but still hydrating. While the pump was convenient, I'd rather the bottles also had aluminum caps and avoided plastic altogether.

    Hi Lara, Thank you for your feedback! We are planning on offering an aluminum cap very soon. We love your committment to the environment! Stay tuned for alternative options... The CB Team

  • This shampoo and conditioner set are both lightweight and smell great. I do find I need to use a conditioner mask because this conditioner is not the most hydrating, but I appreciate teh smell and some of the texture these products give my hair.

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review Elizabeth! So happy to hear you are enjoying the scents and the texture the Shampoo & Conditioner give to your hair. I have three recommendations for additional hydration - leave the conditioner on for a few additional minutes than you typically do to allow it to sink in & rinse with very cold water, apply a small amount to then ends before styling, combine with a few pumps of our Hair & Scalp Serum for a deep treatment. Enjoy!!!

  • I suffer from very dry and brittle hair, especially during the harsh winter months in Chicago.  I have tried several hydrating treatments and each one has left lack luster results.  However, theCaptain Blankenship Nourish Hair & Scalp Serum is simply amazing.  For one, the smell is out of this world and each time I use it I feel like I am either at a luxurious spa or on a lovely vacation.  However, the fact that I have also seen miraculous results in the texture and softness of my hair is the best thing I could ask for.  I applied it as directed and my hair was so easy to comb through and the moisture was locked in even after blowing it dry and using a flat iron.  The shine and softness are so nice to finally see.  I will definitely be purchasing this again and love how reasonably priced it is compared to others on the market!

    Hi Stacy. Thank you for sharing your experience with our Hair & Scalp Serum. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying the scent and also the results. If you need an extra boost of hydration try adding a few pumps to our conditioner for a hair mask treatment. Enjoy!!

  • Was looking for a product to apply to my hair before styling and thought I'd give this one a try. It smells good but it is a tad greasy upon application. I'll have to try it a few more times and experiment with dry vs. wet hair, but recommend using a very small amount.

    Hi Stephanie. Thank you so much for your review. Our Hair & Scalp Serum is very nourishing. If it is not working for you with an application before styling we suggest using this product as treatment instead. A few options for a treatment include applying to your ends and/or to your scalp for a few hours (or overnught) and then washing your hair. You will notice that both your hair and scalp will feel nourished. Try it out and please send us your feedback afterwards at [email protected] We hope this treatment method works for you!

  • These smell nice, but they didn’t do anything for my curly hair. It feels dry after washing. The shampoo felt almost astringent as I was lathering in my hair. It didn’t cause any damage, but definitely also didn’t do any favors. Kind of a bummer since I love the brands whimsy and mission, but I need products that moisturize my curls first and foremost.

    Hi Jess, Thank you for trying our products. We are so sorry to hear about your experience. Based on your feedback, may I suggest that you use the shampoo only close to the scalp rather than the entire hair shaft. The conditioner may be best when paired with our serum for a deeper treatment. Give it another go and if the products are still not working for you please email us at [email protected]. We want you to be happy! We are so happy that you appreciate our whimsy and mission. The CB Team

  • I love the smell of these products and the cute packaging is pleasing for the senses as well. Would buy again!

  • I like this shampoo and conditioner. I think it smells great and I love th packaging. However I don't know how much it does for my hair type (thick and wavy), so I don't know if I would repurchase for myself

    Hi Jennifer. I apologize for our late response. We would love to hear if you have additional feedback after using the products for a longer period of time. For thick hair we recommend using a good amount of conditioner on the ends. It is best drench your hair with warm to hot water before applying the conditioner and then rinsing with cool to cold water.

  • I bought the Hair and Scalp serum. I was really surprised when I first used it. My scalp was tingling. It felt really good. When I rinsed it out, I could tell an immediate difference. My scalp was not itching at all. It got all the residue off my scalp. It also made my hair silky. I have highlighted hair and it can get really dry. I am a real fan and I will continue to use this. Wonderful product.

    Hi Kate. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying our Hair & Scalp Serum!!! You can use it on your ends as well if they get a little dry.

  • Find that the sea weed shampoo and conditioner make my hair fuller

    Bernadette H

    Thank you for writing a review Elena! We are so happy that your hair is feeling fuller. Enjoy the products and please let us know if you have any questions or additional feedback after continued use.

  • I am impressed with the increased volume after using the cleanse shampoo and hydrate conditioner. The thin consistency of the shampoo takes a little getting used to but if I feel my hair has extra product, will apply a 2nd dose of shampoo for my lather satisfaction! The natural scents are refreshing and I enjoy taking in the vanilla scent of the conditioner hours afterwards. Would love to see a different color bottle for the shampoo vs the conditioner to quickly distinguish one from the other in the shower. Looking forward to trying other products from Captain Blankenship!

  • Very impressed with the shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels clean, but not stripped and although the conditioner initially felt too light for my naturally curly hair, it actually does a good job of moisturizing. I am very sensitive to smells and I really like that they don't add any extra fragrance.

  • Exceptional hair care that is not only pure but also highly effective. Additionally, it's a reliable brand – very transparent about their mission and products. They incorporate clean, responsibly sourced ingredients and eco-friendly packaging. Their recycling program aims to minimise landfill waste. Captain Blankenship's products completely transformed the texture and appearance of my hair. Will purchase again (and yes, can be purchased in Australia - yay!).
