I have been using Native Shampoo ever since I saw people talking/recommending it on social media. I was looking for a shampoo that wasn’t too strong or had any harmful chemicals. I stumbled into a post where someone was talking about how Native was a good choice for shampoo. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. I got myself a bottle from Target and picked the Coconut & Vanilla scent. Native shampoo is made out with natural ingredients and is meant to clean your hair in a gentle/smoothing way. It doesn’t have things such as sulfates or parabens which can cause your scalp to dry or itch. The product comes in a simple, clean white looking bottle and is super easy to use. I’ve probably been using this product for around 10-11 months now.
If I had to say something good about Native Shampoo is that it has natural ingredients not like some other shampoos. It comes with no sulfate, paraben, or any strong chemicals that can be bad for your hair or scalp. This could be very helpful for a person who has sensitive skin or dry hair. In my personal experience, when I started using this I was able to tell that my scalp wouldn’t feel itchy anymore, and my hair felt even more soft and clean. The Coconut & Vanilla scent is very light and sweet, making it not too strong. My hair was able to smell nice all day. One last thing I could say is about the bottle. At first I didn’t realize but the more I bought them I was able to realize that the bottle is made from recycled plastic, which is way better for the environment. Also the design looks simple and clean, making it look nice in the shower. Something I really like about this brand is that it talks about being eco friendly, indicating they care about our planet.
Even though there are many great things about the product, there are some things that could be improved on in my opinion. The first thing would be the pricing. Native Shampoo costs more than your regular shampoo that you can buy at the store. Just one bottle of shampoo can cost you around $10 and $12. This could only be a reason why some people wouldn’t buy it since it’s too expensive. Another thing would be the bubbles/foam. Most people are used to their shampoo to lather a lot, and when it doesn’t they might think it doesn’t work and throw it away. It might feel weird at first but over time you get used to it.
Overall, I think Native Shampoo is a great product for people who want a more natural and smoothing way to wash their hair. It’s great for your scalp, smells so good, and is better for the environment. I would give it an A- because even though it has great ingredients and has a good smell it’s a bit pricey, but you are paying for better ingredients and a product that won't cause problems to your hair. So that’s my reasoning on why it deserves an A-.
In conclusion, probably the most important part about this is that Native Shampoo works well and makes your hair feel fresh and clean. It's probably one of the safeties and healthy choices if you care about what goes in your hair products. So for my final grade I would have to give it an A-. Not perfect but yet still has much better ingredients than many shampoos. I would highly recommend it to friends and family who want to try a more safe and natural shampoo.
