Hair goals

I was having bad scalp reactions and slight hair loss with my previous products so I decided to try organic. My hair immediately felt softer and in a few weeks my irritation cleared up. It is more expensive but I found you don't need to use nearly as much product as regular shampoo & conditioner so it actually lasts longer.

I love it!

Due to health issues, as well as a perfume allergy, I try to use only natural personal care products. I love this Carina Organics shampoo - it gets my oily hair squeaky clean, is gentle enough for daily use, and it is completely natural and safe. I love especially that there is no fragrance at all, just a slight natural aroma of oranges.

Shampoo That Smells So Good You Won' t Leave Your Shower

I can't emphasize enough how much I hate doing my hair. Brushing it, drying it, and worst of all styling it - I don't know what it is. It doesn't matter how many Youtube videos I watch or how many products I've purchased to try and copy the magic my hairstylist was able to accomplish - I just don't have the skills. Luckily when I use the right shampoo & conditioner my hair looks great down & I am able to kill the perfect messy bun & sleek ponytail.

I've been using natural SLS free products for years and my hair & scalp couldn't be happier.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a set of Carina Organics Citrus Shampoo & Conditioner. Right off the bat I'm a huge fan of anything natural and anything citrus + the packaging was super simple and clean which I love! Plus they are Canadian and are located so close to my home and I can't say enough how much I love supporting local companies. First thing I did when I opened it was of course smell it and OH MY GOD! It seriously smells like a tropical paradise. Although it is citrus it smells a lot like pineapple which I LOVE! It's amazing smell comes from Tangerine Oil, Green Apple Extract, & Pineapple Extract. I have been using both the shampoo and conditioner for about two weeks now and here are my thoughts on these two natural beauties.

As previously mentioned this shampoo smells like a tropical paradise and I know it will be in my summer rotation of bath products. In the summer I wash my hair daily - as this product is intended to be used. However, in the colder months (which it has been since I started using it) I usually only wash my hair once every 2 - 3 days. That being said I did wash it daily for four days so I could truly test it for how it's supposed to be used - and for this it worked great.


It doesn't form what I would say is a rich lather unless I use a lot (and I mean A LOT) but when your hair is still pretty clean and doesn't need that deep cleanse it works just fine. It's also SLS free which is part of the reason it doesn't lather as much as traditional shampoo. I have found I need to use about a full palms worth so I've been going through it quite quickly. If your hair is in need of more of a deep clean I don't think I would recommend this shampoo for that purpose. But when used daily it leaves my hair nice and soft and very shiny.

It is meant for dry, chemically or colour treated hair - none of which I have so it makes it impossible to address those points. The fact that it is made with organic ingredients, SLS free, smells amazing, and is gentle enough for daily use are all big wins in my book. Other than the lack of lather the only other thing I could ask from this product is that it not contain palm oil (in case you didn't know palm oil is one of the most destructive ingredients on the planet - but that's a story for another day).
