Scalp sorted flake & itch free
I had been suffering for a long time with a very itchy, flakey scalp, having tried too many products to even begin listing, including steroid scalp lotion from my doctor. I stumbled across The Inky List so I ordered the scalp treatment, to be honest I wasn’t expecting much but I was desperate. To my astonishment the results were literally instant. I followed the instructions, the product is water like so I ended up using a little more than the recommend amount, rubbed it in to my scalp, left it on for 10 minutes & washed & conditioned my hair as normal. I checked my scalp after drying my hair & I could not find one single flake & the best bit for me is no more itch. I only used the scalp treatment twice in the first week so there is quiet a bit of the product remaining & I haven’t had to use it since & I am still flake & itch free. Highly recommend this miracle potion.

I'm going to need a bigger bottle
This product is really good. I have fine hair that's become very oily lately, so oily I needed to wash every second day if not every day. This product has allowed me to stretch out to 3 or 4 days without having to resort to a ponytail. As other reviews have said, the packaging sucks, but the juice is great.

Too runny, hard to know if the product works
I love the inkey list so was looking forward to trying their haircare. Unfortunately, the formula of this is so liquid it is very hard to apply. The suggested method is 2 pumps into the palm then apply to the hair, but as its so runny gets caught in my long hair before most reaches the scalp. I've tried pumping it directly into the scalp but this uses loads, so the bottle won't last long at all. I think the product works well on the scalp, but the formula needs to be thicker (or the bottle changed)

Waste of money
I found this product is an absolute waste of money and time trying to apply it. The formula is very liquid and there is no way you can apply it properly on the scalp. 2 pumps as suggested don't go anywhere, so the whole bottle lasted about 3 applications and didn't make any difference. Definitely won't be buying it again and don't recommend it to anyone.

It works!
I've only used it twice so far but I've already been feeling its effect! My scalp is usually on the oily side and it's been flaky and itchy for the past few months but the product helped a lot and it's not itchy or flaky anymore! Not gonna lie, when I got the product I was surprised because it was smaller than I thought and it was even leaking a bit but I would still give it 5 stars.

Don't lose your money
The bottle is very small, the pump does not work well and made my scalp greasy. I don't recommend the product. I would like to know how they apply 2 pumps in a scalp.

A MUST HAVE
My scalp over lockdown has taken a turn for the worst and I needed something to help reduce build-up and the dryness on my scalp. This has worked wonders and my scalps feel and look so much better. I only use 2 times a week and it made a massive difference. Highly recommend!

My new favourite beauty product
My eczema came back with a vengeance a few years ago on my scalp, and since then, I have tried SO many different products and home remedies at different price points. Some stopped the itching but not the scabbing/flaking, and vice versa. After reading the other reviews for this, I gave it a go and even after 1 use, my scalp looked and felt the best it's been in forever, and there's no flakes in my hair. Yes, the pump is not ideal, but for the price and the results, I can absolutely deal with it. I just wish there was a larger size available!

Love the juice hate the packaging
The product is innovative and works well but the packaging is awful. Mine leaks when shaking in a locked nozzle position. The nozzle releases too much product and is hard to get to your scalp so waste a lot of product. I know the Inkey list wants 100% recyclable packing but the pump is just not working. A plastic or glass pipette would be far better. Will not repurchase until the packaging improves.
