I can't begin to write how much I love this product and this company. I have had serious scalp issues for the past 6+ years to the point of having raised scabs all over my scalp. I have tried all of the chemical based alternatives and they all seemed to make things worse. I finally saw MGA at Whole Foods and gave it a try. I have only been using it for about two weeks now and virtually all of the scabs are gone. They need to change it from Max to Magic Green Alchemy, it is truly amazing. A heart felt THANK YOU to everyone there. You have a customer for life!!!!

Wowzer! I ordered a bunch of little samples because I have spent a small fortune on products that don't work. Menopause left my hair dessert dry, frizzy beyond belief, unruly, and straight underneath and crazy curly on the crown. Plus, I have been losing what I consider is a lot of hair, oily temples, smelly head even after just washing, and itchy scalp sometimes. I expected the wad of hair to slide down my leg in the shower as it always does. This shampoo left my hair super clean, shiny, hydrated, calmed frizziness, and minimal hair loss! I am absolutely blown away. The conditioner is also amazing, the scalp cream seriously tamed all the little frizziness at my temples and back of head. No product has EVER worked as well for me as yours has. I had stopped blow dryng my hair entirely for the last three weeks except for my bangs which I let air dry on a big velcro roller and bow dry for less than a minute. I am ordering asap!

My favorite shampoo!

I love this shampoo! This is my 3rd bottle. Not only does it nourish my curls in general, but it's the only thing that calms my psoriasis flare ups, and it the only shampoo that helps my son's dry flaky scalp. We've both tried nearly every medicated, dandruff/psoriasis shampoo out there and nothing comes close. Thank MGA for providing clean, non toxic options for us that really work!

A Fabulous Product I will Forever Use!

I seem to be allergic to all of the popular hair products known to man. I found a small bottle of this shampoo in a store, and tried it out. It immediately cleared up my scalp issues and left my hair soft and shiny. I had to search for more online, all the while having to use those other products while I waited for delivery. Never again will I run out of this wonderful product!

So far this is the best shampoo I've been able to find for my fine hair and sensitive scalp and to help manage my tendency for seborrheic dermatis. My hair looks and feels fuller and healthier.

I absolutely love this shampoo and conditioner! I used Aveda volumizing products for years. I had to discontinue due to the wheat in their products. I have tried many brands and nothing has worked since finding Max Green Alchemy! This shampoo and conditioner actually work better than Aveda in my opinion. The smell is awesome, fresh and clean. I have thin hair but lots of it and it leaves my hair looking full and healthy! My husband has stopped using his shampoo and started using MGA as well! So happy we found this incredible company! Love the ingredients and benefits these two products offer!

Ms.

I had problems with itchy scalp and some flaking. I have used this product for about 60 days and it leaves my hair clean and no scalp irritation or flakes. I love the smell. I use with the Scalp Rescue Conditioner. I love the two products.

I'm not sure yet about this one. When I wash my hair, I can't even get my fingers thru them at places and I don't like that at all. I also hate the smell. But I have found that my head does not itch as much from this product. MGA says: There is nothing in this shampoo which would cause your fingers to get stuck. This sounds like something else you are using in your hair?

Love the ingredient lists. Actual use of product was quite "drying". Also, the scent of the shampoo and conditioner, while good independently, seem kind of "off" when used one after the other. Wish I could like this better as again, love the ingredients. MGA says: We do use the same essential oil blend in both products so the scent should be similar.

Great product!

I love this shampoo! It is the best I have found to calm the scalp and leaves hair feeling so soft. I also use the matching conditioner. It is lightweight so if you have curly hair, it does not weigh it down. Try it!

Great for wavy hair

I love this shampoo. It cleans my wavy hair without weighing it down or drying it out. My hair looks shiny and curlier compared to when I use "curly" shampoos -- which tend to weigh down my hair. Scalp Rescue has a nice fragrance too.

Scalp Rescue (trial size)

Just used the scalp rescue for the first time today; used it first as a scalp cleanser and then used my purple shampoo for blonde hair. Left my hair nice and full and my scalp does not itch (so far so good). I will post another review when I have used scalp rescue a few more times.

Q: I have been looking over this shampoo and conditioner for quite some time. I have issues with my scalp. It oils up fast especially after one day of not washing it. It becomes very itchy and flaky but not too much flakes. I also seem to shed more hair than normal but thanks to some vitamins I think that is slowly down some. I am only 27 years old and I am worried about trying new hair products as even the "natural," products still irritate my scalp or cause hair fall. I am impressed with the reviews especially since so many individuals seem to love this product and have fine hair like myself. I am willing to give it a try but I am wondering if there is any money back -guarantee if I am not fully pleased with the product??? I am in dire need of finding something that is healthy for my hair and scalp and that doesn't irritate it at the same time which seems impossible to find.
