Product Review: Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo

Yay!! Finally, it has landed on South African soil! *happy dance*

 

 

Yes folks, its the one-and-only Aussie brand which I’ve been hearing and reading about on most overseas blogs and vlogs for as long as I’ve been natural. When I started my natural hair journey a lot of (overseas) naturals were using hair products that I was unable to find at my local Clicks, Checkers or Pick n Pay – much to my frustration! One of the products which I saw creep up every now and then in most natural’s ‘must-have‘ list of staple hair products was the Aussie brand. So you can understand my excitement when I found out we now have this brand here in Mzansi *big grin*

I actually found out about it by accident, after I saw a tweet from one of my friends raving about this new hair product  called Aussie – and how lovely her hair smells after using it. And I was like “Whoa, hold on! Aussie??!” Initially I thought she perhaps might have shipped it over from overseas but you can imagine my excitement when she told me she got it at  good ol’ Clicks!

The product junkie in couldnt wait to make my way to Clicks and try it out & thats what I did!

While I was at Clicks I quickly popped opened the bottle, and yip, it really smells soooo good & I’m someone who really appreciates hair products that have a good smell; that’s a big plus for me.

I then decided to buy the Miracle Moist Shampoo because firstly, I have too many conditioners, and secondly since i’m growing my dreads I prefer to use less conditioner than before (I used to co-wash my afro three times a week!). I find that my dreads seem to be more prone to product build up (if I don’t clarify regularly) and conditioners do not really help to get rid of that build up – instead it creates even more build up. Ugh.

But at the same time I wanted a shampoo which will also give my hair added moisture without drying it out….and this product does just that!

Its has a very thick consistency – another plus – and it lathers on very thick. Once I worked it into my hair, there was a lot of foam and I could feel it stripping away any residue and build up I had accumulated, while keeping my hair soft. After I rinsed off my hair it felt squicky clean and smelled oh-so-good!

Unfortunately it is more on the expensive side, around R65 a bottle BUT I didnt have to use a lot when I was washing my hair…so I think a little does go a long way :-)

Try it out guys and let me know what you think!

Love,

    Hi, thanks for sharing it, I have a 3year old daughter and her hair is so rich and when I plait her it hurts so will it work? I don’t want 2 use harsh chemicals n relaxers. Will it make it softer???

      I think you can try it out and see if it makes a difference. Remember not all products work the same way on all types of hair. You can also try to use a conditioner to soften her hair. In the meantime you can read Matlhodi’s post on how she takes care of her little girl’s hair (https://www.frochic.co.za/?p=4810).
