| Review of WOW Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo |
I have always
been a fan of clear gel-type shampoos owing to the nature of my hair. My hair type is naturally fine-straight
hair which lacks volume. An oily scalp and drier ends makes things worse
for me since a flat crown can ruin any look. Thick creamy shampoos are a big
NO-NO for me. So, when I came across this brand in Amazon(dot)in, which claimed
being Paraben and sulphate free and having apple cider vinegar as main
ingredient, I decided to give it a try. Apple cider vinegar is known for having
antibacterial and antifungal properties which cleanses scalp of any dandruff or
infection and also balances pH level of the scalp and hair which in turn
promotes healthy hair growth. Let’s see if all those promises worked for me or
not.
Product name: WOW Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo

How to use: Wet hair. Pour a generous dollop on the palm.
Massage well into soaking wet hair and scalp with fingertips. Work up a rich
lather. Rinse thoroughly. (Tip: For best results, comb hair before shampoo and
leave lather for 5 minutes to let apple cider vinegar gently and thoroughly
detox your scalp and hair. For enhanced effect, use atleast twice a week)

My take: The first thing which made me happy with the product
was the clear gel type shampoo which pumped out. It was an almost runny pale
pinkish translucent gel and nothing like those thick white creamy shampoos
which give me nightmare! The fragrance
is extremely mild and reminds you of fresh apple juice. There is no strong “detergent-like”
smell which most commercial shampoos have.

I used it on my third-day
hair (Hair on third day after last shampoo session, without any oiling). One
thing which I noticed apart from the smell was that, unlike shampoos like
Head&Shoulders or Sunsilk which give your instant lather as soon as it
touches your wet hair, with this shampoo
you need to “work up” the lather with some extra water. So, after I massaged
two pumpful of WOW Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo on my scalp, I used some extra
water to work up the lather on the scalp and then proceeded to massage the
lather on my hair strands. Then as advised, I let the lather rest on my hair
and scalp while I completed the rest of my shower time using face wash and
soaping myself. In about 2-3 minutes I washed off the shampoo (I avoided 5
minute advice in fear of drying out hair too much). The shampoo rinsed off quite easily and there was no “slippery-soapy” feel
after the wash. I didn’t use conditioner since I wanted to check the
efficacy of the shampoo alone.
I towel-dried my
hair and let it air-dry after that. Below is the Before/After picture. The first picture was taken just before I went
for my bath, and the second is after my hair air-dried post using this shampoo.
There was no hair fall during the usage as well as none during combing.

Do I need to say
how much I love this shampoo anymore? :D This is the amount of lightness and
bounce my thin hair gets after using WOW Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo without any
blow-drying or hair spray. Also noticeable
is that there is no dryness in hair even without using conditioner. My hair
smells fresh and the scalp feels squeaky clean. I have found my Holy Grail
shampoo!
A few points not to be missed here are:
1.
This
shampoo will not be liked by people who are accustomed to rich lather which
shampoos like Head & Shoulders give.
2.
People
preferring extremely creamy and moisturizing shampoos will not like this either
3. This
shampoo is perfect for people with naturally thin hair, normal-oily scalp,
greasy dandruff and people looking to detox hair of product build-ups.
Rating: 5/5
Have you used
it? How did your hair like it??
