I love this conditioner! It's rich and conditions well without weighing down my hair and does a decent job fighting off the frizz I get from hard water. Sidenote: when it comes out of the tube it has the faintest smell and it's a little reminiscent of dog shampoo. It doesn't last and certainly doesn't hang out in the hair, but if your super sensitive to smells; be prepared. 

I like the whole experience and will probably buy this conditioner again. 

I really wanted to love this as I'm in the market for new clean shampoo and conditioner. I really like the concept and the objectives of the company, but the shampoo left my hair greasy. I tried the shampoo and conditioner four times with the hope that I did something wrong the first few times, but every time it left behind residue. I was very surprised by this as I wasn't using much product, and I spent more time than usual trying to rinse it out. I really disappointed that these didn't work for me as I saw so many positive reviews and really like the idea! Otherwise, the smells were subtle but very nice, and I liked the amount of lather. The packaging is great and minimal, although the tins are a bit hard to open in the shower. 

I struggled with knowing if I mixed the right ratio of water vs. product 

I do think they're great for traveling!

This product does nothing for my hair. I guess the concentrate could be useful for travel, but I don’t see a point for it otherwise. It’s hard to get the right mix of water so I end up using more than I’m probably supposed to and it evens out to whatever I’d use of non concentrated products. 

I really wanted to love these because I love the idea of them being more eco-friendly. The packaging is really cute and travel-friendly. It felt like I had to use a lot more than suggested though to get my hair clean. I have to admit though - I am a novice with solid shampoos and conditioners and may not have been doing it completely right. I definitely would be willing to try something similar out again - it might be useful if they had tutorial videos or a little pamphlet with more info on how to correctly use!

I wanted to love Everist, because I'm a frequent traveler.  Being able to save space in my toiletry bag for concentrate shampoo & conditioner is a big win for me.  Unfortunately, this was not it.  This is my first time using concentrate so my ratio may have been off, but I felt like I could never get enough product in my hair.  I tried it for 3 washes over the course of a week and ultimately chucked the travel tins because they are too difficult to open and use in the shower (cue much frustration), and I could never get the concentrate to lather or fully cover my hair.  To their credit, their customer service is lovely, but they also took weeks to ship my product because one item was out of stock and they never notified me until I reached out and asked what the shipping status was.  Great great concept, fell a little flat in actual product for me.  FYI, I have thick, long Asian hair.  Not sure if that was a factor. 

Loved this product, having a liquid concentrate is eco friendly and I like it better than shampoo bars. Cool packaging, the metal product pusher is a nice touch as well.

I have wanted to try Everist ever since I first saw it on the Thingtesting site, so I took advantage of the "try new things" offer. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Although I have not tried another "haircare concentrate," I have tried a variety of shampoo and conditioner bars and Everist did not measure up. I tried it on 3 or 4 different occasions to make sure I was giving it a fair test, but the shampoo left my hair feeling greasy. I followed the directions regarding the amount needed and also played with trying different amounts. Since I have extremely short hair, I felt like I should need much less of Everist than of another shampoo, but that wasn't the case.

My results with the conditioner were slightly better than with the shampoo, but I couldn't find much difference between the amount I needed to use of Everist with the amount of my favorite Davines conditioner--which comes in a square plastic box and is applied in a similar way, but works much better, especially for the price.

The packaging for the sample sizes is very cute--it comes in small, flat tins--and the packaging for the full size is lovely as well. I appreciate Everist's mission of low-waste and I will keep using the conditioner I purchased, but I won't be using the shampoo.

I purchased the shampoo and conditioner set. I have tried a number of different shampoos over the years such as cowashes and solid shampoo bars. My hair is fine and damaged at the ends from bleach, my scalp is very oily so I wash my hair every day. I was really enjoying the eco factor of the solid bars and randomly saw an ad for Everist. I was intrigued by the product so decided to try. Firstly, the price was pretty high but the mention of ‘concentrate’ gave me hope that the product would last me a while with my fin, shoulder length hair. The packaging is cool and the finicky lid and metal tube didn’t deter me. The shampoo did clean my hair well, but during the lathering it instantly knotted up my hair, the low amount of lather makes the product difficult to disperse all through the hair and i found it hard to tell if I had managed to clean all of my hair. I then tried the conditioner, now that my hair felt super knotty I was stuck between wanting to use a small amount to get maximum uses out of the tube but also I wanted to be able to untangle the knotted mess on my head. I carefully worked the conditioner through my hair and found that it didn’t feel very conditioning. On drying my hair it was clean and felt like normal. I think my issue with this product is it seems like they have created a totally new thing that never needed to exist. If they were truly concentrates then water could be added and the products used like normal products, but what they are is more like a skincare product for your hair which you end up having to use a similar amount to your regular shampoo while struggling with a product that is difficult to use. I watched a demo YouTube video where the person had similar hair to mine and they used probably half the amount of product that I had been using, it wasn’t lost on me that this person’s hair looked oily. I tried with the reduced amount and thought that I had managed to make it work… until I dried my hair and found it was super oily. I am a bit miffed at the large number of positive reviews for this product and makes me a bit suspicious, i haven’t seen any mentions of hair feeling really knotty when using the shampoo as I have found every day that I use it. So, after much consideration I have decided it’s a no from me.

I tried this offer through Thingtesting and otherwise would definitely not have paid $14 for the travel sized shampoo and conditioner concentrate. They are VERY small. I think the mini tins are cute, but it was hard for me to grip and open – especially in the shower, with long nails.

I have very thick, straight hair and wash it about once or twice a week. I only used this once, so I didn't really see a difference compared to the regular products I use. Theoretically, the mini travel duo is an amazing way to save space when you're traveling, but it's not worth the learning curve. I'm usually all for innovation, but I do think this product is too disconnected from the existing expectations and behaviors of the customer.

I got the haircare travel duo from the thingtester promo, and it was around $14 at whole foods for two small tins (shampoo and conditioner). I've been using them at the gym after swimming, and the containers are super convenient to use for that purpose. I think I've used them 5 times so far, and I probably only have one (maybe two) more use left, based on how much product I found I needed to use to get my hair clean and conditioned. The smell of the shampoo was fine, nothing remarkable but I usually prefer less to no scent. The conditioner smelled amazing though- still subtle, but reminded me of the botanical smells of Aveda products. Overall, this travel set seems like a pretty poor value- I have some mini shampoo and conditioner bars from another brand that I may use these tins to store going forward, and see how long those last me compared to these concentrates. 

I got this through the Thingtesting Try New Things promo, and while I love this idea in concept, I did feel like the travel tins were quite small for the price. The lid was a little finicky, and figuring out the water-to-product ratio has been tricky. I didn't particularly think the product was amazing for my hair.

When the brand first launched, I bought the 3 pack of shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. At the time, I wasn't very impressed - it was cool in concept (waterless concentrated body care), but the execution wasn't the greatest beyond the aluminum tube and recyclable cap. When it had first launched, not many other beauty companies were focused on packaging sustainability, and Everist focused a lot of their marketing efforts on educating about the infinite recyclability of aluminum (and not so much on their formulas - something that they've even talked about during their recent marketing email!). The actual product itself was lacking, though, even though the ingredients were impressive. And the conditioner was especially a horrible experience, making my hair extremely dry.
I love the brand's commitment to listening to their customers' concerns - they revamped their formulations and have also released tin packages. 
I was able to try the revamped Deep Conditioning Concentrate through a Thingdrop and I'm so so impressed at the difference between its first iteration and now. It works better than my fully liquid/bottle pump conditioners, and has a very pleasant texture and smell (especially compared to the first version). I've also seen that they've revamped the Shampoo concentrate as well with even better ingredients, and I'm super excited to try that in the near future! 
As someone who breaks out with most other shampoos, I can only really use something like SEEN haircare. But the original shampoo and both the conditioners have not broken me out, so again, very excited to try the new shampoo.
I'm under the impression that the body wash formula hasn't changed, and I remember really enjoying that one. It foams up really well so it's just as great or even better than most liquid body washes. 
I've only tried these in tube forms, so I can't say much about the tin packaging, but I'd imagine that they are better for travel. The tiny cap sometimes bothers me in the shower and it can take a few tries to screw on just right. 
Otherwise, love love love this brand and its commitment towards sustainability, great formulas, and listening to their customers!

I decided to give this brand a go. So far I have tried the shampoo and conditioner. Both smell nice and it’s pretty easy to use. The tube is a bit weird as the key doesn’t twist it evenly so I’m worried I’m losing product. I have hair that is slightly longer than shoulder length so the 1” of product doesn’t quite work, especially for the conditioner. I’m probably at almost a 1.5 to 1 ratio on conditioner to shampoo which sucks (because it’s not different from just bottled stuff in that sense). Shipping is terrible. I expect it’s great if you’re in Toronto but, being in Alberta, it takes up to 2 weeks to reach me when it’s in stock. I fully believe it’s a problem of the company (FleetOptics) but it basically discourages me from wanting to continue buying. Generally I feel like the product is good for my hair otherwise. 

This isn't the first time I've ordered shampoos from this brand. As far as product quality is concerned, there's nothing to say, the shampoos are of good quality and the hair is all the better for it, but I can't say the same for the delivery service! When I placed my first order, there were a lot of delays, and I left a negative review which I later deleted after exchanging e-mails with the company's CEO, who kindly explained that the delays were due to high demand. In fact, I quickly deleted my review because my aim was not to harm this company but, on the contrary, to make constructive comments to help their delivery service evolve in the right direction.
The last order I placed went wrong again. An unprofessional delivery because the company that organizes their delivery didn't do its job properly, which resulted in a delay, I actually sent an e-mail to the CEO in question to tell her what had happened with the delivery company she had trusted... no reply from her. Ok. 
What a surprise it was when I received my parcel and discovered that one of the items I had ordered and paid for was not in the package! I sent an e-mail, then a letter to inform them of this error..... again! It's been 5 days and I still haven't received any reply apart from a generic email informing me that they would get back to me as soon as possible as they had a lot of emails. Ok. 
I hope this review will allow me to get answers and a FAST solution because the last time it happened exactly the same way and I had to post on this site so that the CEO contacted me. It's sad to have to go through all this when all I ask as a customer is to be delivered ON TIME with a COMPLETE parcel. 
This brand absolutely needs to overhaul its delivery and logistics service. I understand that you're just starting out and that there are mistakes, but I find that you're starting to make a lot of mistakes, and above all I find it unacceptable that you respond so late to your customers.  

Overall, would recommend! There's a bit of a struggle to get product dispensed correctly without extra coming out. There's also a learning curve for how much product you actually need, it will be different from the directions given on the back of the tube. The smell is awesome and it has left my hair feeling really healthy and soft! I haven't noticed any radical changes but it is a great value when you consider how much product you get compared to ones with water as an ingredient. Also helpful for traveling! Shipping was super fast.

I encourage you to look up the ingredients list & what the products free of on their site! It's pretty great... and a simple way to make your shower routine more fun!

I absolutely LOVE the body wash. So fun & unique and smells and feels amazing. Most body washes are 70% water... which is crazy because you're adding it to water in water! Their products are 100% plant based and water-free! The tube is so satisfying to turn in the shower and watch the concentrate turn to a thick nourishing body wash!

I would give this brand 6/5 stars if I could, I absolutely love this brand. I love the mission, the packaging was all recycled and nothing was included that didn't need to be included. I got the conditioner, and used it for the first time yesterday. I wasn't totally sure how much to use, so I think that'll take a little time getting used to, but it was great. It didn't smell that strong in the bottle, but on my hair it smelled really pepperminty. I'm so excited to keep using this, and I'm going to get the shampoo now too!

I was very excited to get to try this out through ThingTesting. I have curly, coarse hair and it has been a lifelong journey to find the right combination of conditioners, cremes, gels and shampoos that don't dry out my hair more and make the curls come alive. I had fairly low expectations venturing into the Everist conditoner. I like the concept, the packaging, the key to squeeze the tube along. I initially didn't like the scent, but it didn't linger and wasn't as overpowering as I thought it would be. It's sort of minty, but not overwhelming. I wish my hair liked this conditioner as much as I did, but alas it made my hair feel very dry and did nothing for my curls. For all of you with "normal' hair, I believe you will find this to be very enjoyable.
