AROMATICA Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioner, Vegan Hair Conditioner for Damaged Hair and Dry Hair - Moisturizing Conditioner, Silicone-Free (13.53oz/400ml)

I am really impressed with Aromatica’s line of products. This is not an overpriced brand making big claims but not backing it up. The ingredients list proves it. And so does the results. It’s a big deal for me to use a product until the bottle is empty, but it’s an even bigger deal for me to then buy it again cuz I like it so much, which is exactly what I did with all the Aromatica products I’ve tried so far. Not only did I repurchase it, I also bought the deep cypress line, the tea tree line, the rosemary scalp scrub, the tea tree tonic and the rosemary tonic. Every single one is a winner. But this is a review for the Rosemary shampoo and conditioner so I will stick to that for this review. It smells very strongly of a deep woodsy pine & rosemary scent.. it’s very stringent and I’m sure some people will dislike it but I actually enjoy it, however I’m a sucker for anything that smells strongly of mint, rosemary, pine etc. It’s not an artificial rosemary scent either. I have a huge collection of really expensive essential oils. I know what good pine and Rosemary smells like, and this is it. You can tell they are sourcing high grade ingredients for this product. I get some people will dislike this scent but it’s one of the things that draws me to this product. I really like it. However I will say, I learned a long time ago on my quest for the best, highest grade self care products and essential oils, that products that are clean, natural and actually work are usually going to smell very… earthy.. because they are not scented with artificial fragrances and because they are made with ingredients that actually work. The lather is immaculate, as all the wave guru’s on YouTube would say 🤣 lol someone needs to show them this brand of shampoo if they wanna step up their lather game. A little bit actually does go a long way, which says a lot coming from me because I have pretty thick hair and find myself having to use extra shampoo to ensure I get a good lather behind my ears and at the back of my head, but I can use half the amount of this than I normally would with any other shampoo and it’s enough. It lathers up extremely well and is very luxurious. After I ran out of this shampoo and conditioner, I repurchased it along with aromatica’s Tea Tree shampoo as well, & surprisingly the tea tree shampoo lathered up even better than the rosemary for some reason. I was actually really shocked when I used their Tea Tree shampoo for the first time yesterday. I’ve been loving the Rosemary one so much for the last month or so and get such a luxurious lather from it.. I didn’t expect the Tea Tree one to lather up even better. As for the conditioner, it works really well too. I struggle to find conditioners that I like. I was using the Aluram brand of shampoo & conditioner after my stylist used it on me in the salon. I fell in love with it because it’s ingredients list is clean and it worked well. However I felt like my hair would feel frizzy and sometimes it felt dry and straw-like at the ends.. So I started using more conditioner which would make my hair look greasy and weighed down. I haven’t had those problems since I switched to this. With the conditioner, a little bit truly goes a long way. You do not need a lot at all. I had to learn this the hard way because I was used to having to use a ton of the Aluram conditioner. So I was using too much of this Rosemary conditioner at first. I had to break that habit of using too much. Even though I was using too much, it never made my hair greasy or weighed down. It just caused me to run out a lot faster than I should have. Now that I’ve been using it awhile, I’ve figured out how to use it so it works best for me. It really only takes a little bit. After I rinse the shampoo out, I try to ring the excess water out of my hair, I apply a small amount of the conditioner to my hands and rub it thru. Then I try my hair back and let it sit for anywhere between 1-5 minutes while I wash my body or shave. If I feel like I need more conditioner than usual, I’ve found that instead of using more, I get great results by adding a small amount of water to my hair after applying the conditioner. Just a tiny amount. Not enough to rinse the conditioner away. And then I let that sit before rinsing it out. Before I started using Aromatica’s products, I was using leave-in products religiously after every wash. I’ve been using leave-ins my entire life. I’ve tried them all. All the drug store ones, and a lot of the luxury brands. Pacifica, chi, biosilk, it’s a 10, etc etc. I’ve been using Verb Ghost Oil for the last year which I really like. I am no longer using any leave-in products since switching to Aromatica. The only product I use that could be considered a leave-in is Aromatica’s scalp tonics. I’m using both the Tea Tree tonic and the Rosemary tonic. After I wash my hair, I towel it a bit to absorb excess water and I spray the tonic on my scalp. I spray it at the hair line at both temples, at the hair line behind both ears, at the hair line along the back of my neck, and I spray it all along my part, my cowlick, and make sure my entire scalp gets sprayed. Let me tell you, the tonic will change your life. It feels especially tingly and refreshing when you use after you just washed cuz your scalp is clean and your pores are open, but it feels amazing any time. After I spray, I brush my wet hair and style as usual, which for me is usually just allowing my hair to air dry before throwing it up in a bun. I also use the tonic throughout the day on dry hair to refresh my scalp and stimulate hair growth. It feels amazing and is a great midday pick me up. My hair is so bouncy and clean. You know when your hair is super clean at the scalp..? it’s a different kind of clean and a better bounce when your scalp is cleansed to perfection. That’s how my hair is with these products. It feels so healthy and soft and the shine is out of this world. It’s never greasy or dull anymore. Like I said, before is started using these products, I was using the Aluram line with Verb ghost oil. I liked it at first but found that my hair would feel very dry at the ends, frizzy, and would get greasy looking at the root. Aromatica solved those problems. I don’t struggle with that anymore, which I didn’t think would be possible for me especially without using a leave-in product. I work in a gross, hot warehouse. It’s a physically demanding job. I sweat a lot at work, and I tend to sweat directly from my scalp sometimes. Before I started using these products I would struggle with feeling like my scalp wasn’t getting clean enough despite really scrubbing and scratching my scalp while shampooing and deep cleaning. I even resorted to clarifying shampoos which didn’t give me the clean feeling I was seeking. I even tried using Dr. Bronners peppermint Castile soap to wash my hair in order to deep cleanse my scalp. Dr. Bronners peppermint Castile is a must have item for me.. I’ve been using it for many years and couldn’t live without it, however when used on my scalp, it was too stripping and drying and made my hair tangle up.. so I would use even more comditioner or deep conditioning treatment which would make my hair feel heavy and look greasy at the scalp while looking even dryer and frizzier at the ends than usual. I couldn’t win. I don’t worry about any of that anymore. There is one thing I don’t like though which I took a picture of for my review. There is a little sticker tab holding the spout of the shampoo & conditioner closed. I assumed that was a quality control thing, like to show its unopened. But when you screw the cap off, there is no seal. The bottles are all unsealed. I really dislike that. Anyone could tamper with the product. I thought MAYBE it could be a fluke, but I’ve since reordered the Rosemary line, as well as the Tea tree line and the deep cypress line and they ALL came unsealed the same way. I really dislike that. They need to go the extra mile and seal their products.

I love this conditioner. It works great, it smells great, it’s a thick formula, but not heavy, and nourishing for my hair. I have very fine, easily weighed down, grease-prone hair and this conditioner does not weigh it down or promote greasiness like other conditioners. I can get just a bit on my roots and not have to either wash my hair again or be a greaseball mere hours after my shower. That being said, the packaging of this product is absolutely terrible. From shipping to function, it’s awful. I’ve been ordering this for months now, this is maybe my fourth or fifth bottle, and I’m seriously considering finding another brand simply bc I’m tired of dealing with their packaging. It’s almost always shipped in a bag if it’s by itself, so it’s often broken and half the product has squeezed out and my money wasted. There’s no way to get my money back unless I return a half empty bottle in a package full of conditioner and wait for the refund, then buy another. Additionally, the bottle itself is also poorly thought through. It’s one of those press down tops, and the conditioner will leak through the top all around the circumference no matter if you’re squeezing it out or just leaving it flipped upside down to get all the conditioner from the bottom out, which leaves an awful mess in the shower and also wastes more conditioner and money. I think it would be a better value for the price if they put a bit more thought and care into bottle function and shipping. I’d happily pay a bit more for better functionality.

Decided to start fresh and cut my hair off & strength it. My hair feels very healthy, clean and voluminous. Have repurchased twice and other products on this line because it’s so good.

Cleaned my hair well. Hair felt soft to the touch and smelled fresh. The only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the packaging: the plastic material used to make the bottles are too rigid and stiff. I had a very hard time squeezing out (especially the conditioner) the products.

First, the smell is amazing. I was worried it would be too holiday smelling, but it’s lovely. And then the shampoo has kept my scalp from itching after one day. The conditioner is good too. I’ve noticed a little less shedding, but it’s only been a couple weeks using it so I don’t know if it’s related. I do think my hair feels a little thicker, but again, I really think it’s too soon to tell. My main reason for purchasing was the ingredient list. After my cancer diagnosis I was told to avoid certain ingredients I find in most hair loss related products. This one has nothing in it that can negatively impact me now post-cancer time. So I’m thrilled for that and will likely continue using this for the long run.

I LOVE the shampoo, it's clean my hair and it smells amazing. My hair is normally oily and this product keeps it clean and refreshed. The conditioner wasn't so helpful for my hair, I have thick hair that it didn't detangle and it felt like it dried my ends out. I had to use another conditioner that hydrated my hair and left my ends looking better than when I used this product. I would highly recommend the shampoo but not so much the conditioner for thick, long hair.

This really works. I've been using for two weeks, exactly 5 washes with the root spray and with a silicone head rubber. My body work practioner was working with my scalp and made a comment she could feel a noticeable difference confirming it wasn't just me noticing.

Really nice smell and low-key leaves a cooling effect after washing. Left my hair feeling and looking fresh and shiny. Was able go another day of not washing.
