Product Testimonial
“This shampoo is beyond wonderful! It cleans my hair so well, without leaving it oily or drying it out. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have white blonde hair, and I was worried about the shampoo staining my hair (because the it’s very black) but no issue there at all! When I received the product, it was leaking all over the package and I lost a little less than half of the product, but I’m almost certain that was due to improper handling during shipping and not related to the product itself. But even with this issue, the company replaced it free of charge. I have recommended this to all my family and friends. Will definitely be back to get more. 10/10” – Shelby Lynn

Product Testimonial
“I bought this item based on the ingredients—it has surprisingly simple but all natural ingredients. After using it about a half the amount, I am very satisfied and really like it. It not only makes my hair (permed) silky, feels very healthy and not dry. The only complaint is maybe I wish the seller makes a tube container instead of a jar? I use a comb to prevent the water from getting in. Regardless, I love it and will buy again!!” – withd**

17. Briogeo Charcoal Hair Care Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo – Combats and Prevents a Dry, Flaky, Itchy Scalp
Features and Benefits
- Over 100+ Positive Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- NATURALLY FORMULATED FOR OVERALL SCALP HEALTH: Scalp Revival Shampoo is formulated using potent natural ingredients that provide relief for dry, irritated, itchy, flaky scalps and help remove impurities. This unique shampoo includes vegetable-derived micro-exfoliators to remove dead skin cells and product build-up from the scalp to support a clean, balanced, and healthy scalp. Biotin, a B-complex vitamin, strengthens the hair shaft and follicle to promote fullness of the hair.
- THE CLEANSING POWER OF CHARCOAL: Charcoal has quickly become one of the most popular ingredients in the beauty industry and for a good reason. With natural cleansing properties, charcoal can help not only clean your hair but help keep it healthy. Binchotan Charcoal, one of the key ingredients in Scalp Revival Shampoo, works to clean the hair by allowing for the optimal absorption of oils and impurities such as dirt, sebum, and product build-up while promoting overall scalp health.
- RELIEF FOR DRY, ITCHY, FLAKY OR IRRITATED SCALPS: Scalp Revival Shampoo can help to keep your hair looking soft and healthy while keeping your scalp balanced and moisturized. The natural calming power of peppermint and spearmint oil have been included to help soothe irritated and itchy scalps and help to maintain a healthy scalp pH level. Natural oils in combination with tea tree oil work together to promote overall healthy hair and reduce flakiness.
Product Testimonial
“One of my favorite beauty vloggers swears by this stuff, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I am honestly not disappointed! I really, really like this stuff. I have a very dry and itchy scalp and I get dandruff quite often. I also use quite a bit of dry shampoo. I used this scalp scrub for the first time last night and my hair felt so fresh and clean after using it. My hair is also thick, so I had to use quite a bit of product to get a good lather going and to really feel it scrubbing my scalp. But it backs up what it claims to do, in my opinion. The tea tree oil in this gave my scalp a really refreshed feeling. The scent is super light, so you don’t have to worry about your hair smelling too strongly. My head did not itch at all today, and normally that’s a big issue for me. My hair legitimately felt clean and light and just overall nice. I think it’s worth the price.” – Nikki White
