Product Review: Punkmedics Vegan Conditioning Shampoo
My fourth installment in the product review for PunkMedics lands me taking a look at the Vegan Conditioning Shampoo. Now this is one item that I was really excited about, seeing as I generally purchase anything and everything, and never really am happy with my purchase once it’s said and done.
My biggest concern with this would be the all-natural label and the lack of an artificial scent. Since a lot of the time I truly purchase shampoo based on how it smells, and what I’m craving at the time. (Fake orange is generally a plus in my mind, somehow the false sense of citrus makes me feel cleaner.)
So, for about two weeks (this was a pretty long test due to my infrequency of use) I shampooed like normal with the Vegan Conditioning Shampoo, once, maybe twice a week. Sometimes I paired it with the Vegan Leave in Conditioner, sometimes I didn’t. What weirded me out was that this didn’t bubble/foam like off-the-shelf shampoo’s, but if I remember the various spam e-mails I receive, the excessive bubbling in off-the-shelf shampoo’s is from some chemical that “has been linked” to causing cancer. Once I realized that, I was okay with less bubble on my head.
In an effort to really get a review out of the Vegan Conditioning Shampoo (before my sample ran out anyways) I threw caution to the wind and went to shampoo my head every day. (Generally not recommended by my friends because shampooing is bad according to… them!) But my hair was fine. Obviously no build-up of natural oils that you would get from not shampooing, but my hair didn’t seem damaged or lacking in any way.
A win! I do prefer to pair this up with the Vegan Leave in Conditioner, if anything, so I can have tangle-free hair when I wake up in the morning (since I have a bad habit of going to bed with wet hair.) I just feel very left out since I bought about 8 bottles of stuff from the store (it was a super duper sale) which means when I’m out… it’ll be a while before I get any more!
