Scalp Stimulating Shampoo

(Alopecil Cinnamon & Rosemary Shampoo, $7.99 Roundbrushhair.com)

Every once and a while I feel like my scalp needs a deep down thorough cleaning. The shampoo I like to use to get the job done is Alopecil Apretol Canela y Romero (that's Cinnamon and Rosemary Shampoo for the non-spanish speaking folks). Now this shampoo is relatively new to me, but I'm a big fan. The color is a bit shocking, I though the bottle was green but that's actually the product inside - the bottle is clear.

Product Description: Fortifying hair treatment of intensive action with Apretol-15, Cinnamon and Rosemary. It deeply cleans the scalp and hair pores. It helps to stimulate hair growth, regenerates damaged hair, and helps to prevent dandruff.

AHS (An Honest Story): Once you get past the crazy green color, the scent intoxicates you. I love the scent while the boyfriend says it stinks. It smells like Cinnamon and Rosemary, very herby but once you thoroughly wet your hair and scalp and apply the shampoo you immediately start to feel the deep tingle. It lathers up very well and really cleanses my scalp and hair. The cooler the water the more intense the tingly feeling, which is fun because you can sort of control it. The only downside is that my hair feels somewhat dry after using the shampoo, which is why I only use it when I feel like my scalp needs a deep down cleansing.

Tip: Use a good deep conditioner on the length of your hair after cleansing with this shampoo.
