I just finished my whole bottle of 1L that lasted for 6 months (me & my partner use it). I struggled a lot with scalp problem for so many years. I've tried different kinds of dandruff shampoo (trying out cheaper options) hoping it could lessen the itch and scaling but it just keeps on getting worse.
I have come across Davines several times before and saw good reviews about it, but seeing the price made me go for cheaper options (telling myself it's worth the try, it's cheap anyway) until I run out of options 😔
My scalp condition got worse and worse to a point where I developed unconscious scalp picking. Dandruffs on my chair, in my keyboard, the pillow, floor, it's everywhere. I got really conscious about it when going out so I tend to just stay home. This is when I finally decided to try Davines Purifying Shampoo. It's my last resort, MY LAST HOPE! And I'm glad I did.
I religiously used it 3 times a week (instructions says 2 times only but I'm desperate LOL) and the itch lessen after each wash. A month after use, my scalp picking is gone and scabs/wounds from scratching are almost healed as well. I am ordering my 2nd 1L bottle for maintenance (1-2 times a week). And now my scalp is thanking me everyday 😂
Notes:
- Based on my experience, the shampoo does not lather too much. I usually get small drops first and massage them over my scalp to breakdown excess oil/dirt and wash. Then I'll go for 2nd wash. I focus on massaging my scalp then just comb the lather down my hair strands.
- Do note that you may have to use conditioner after shampooing since it tends to leave your hair dry and frizzy (typical for dandruff shampoo). I use Davines Well-being conditioner, but I think any conditioner will do as long as it could detangle your hair. I apply conditioner few inches away from my scalp, and just try to detangle my hair then wash.
- It has a sulfur smell so a more pleasant smelling conditioner really helps. I also wash my hair with Davines Well-being shampoo during intervals of using the Purifying Shampoo to wash off excess smell.
