Aesop Sage & Cedar Scalp Treatment

    In order for me to tell this review fully, I need to give you some backstory as to why I ended up purchasing it. Some of you may know from some of my original posts, that I've previously bleached my hair numerous times and applied a variety of colours. And as you probably guessed my hair became pretty damaged as a result, I haven't bleached my full head of hair since July 2013 so its not had time to be restored. From last year I dyed my hair back to a dark brown which is my natural colour and used various hair masks and expensive shampoos/conditioners to treat the damage. My hair started in its own self destructive method against me and started rejecting different brands of shampoo, causing my scalp to go into overdrive with dandruff (yuck).

     After suffering this for a few weeks, I decided to start researching products that could reduce if not clear up my scalp dryness and this is when I came across Aesop's scalp treatment. I've always been really interested with the brand but as many of you will already know, it costs a bomb! At this stage however I was willing to pay how ever much to sort out my scalp, the reviews on this product were absolutely outstanding! People who were diagnosed with severe scalp problems were seeing progress from this product, so I paid the hefty (but so worth it) £23 and waited for its arrival. I want to slightly digress and talk about the package I received for this product; not only did I get the scalp treatment but I got a handwritten note, free drawstring makeup bag, three face care samples and a swatch of one of their scents!! I like to think all those little contributions make up for the price tag.

    After using this treatment twice, my dry scalp has completely cleared up, I tend to use this fortnightly as I do get some dandruff returning but a fraction of what I did originally. When you open the bottle you get hit with scents of rosemary, almond, cedarwood and sage which are so complimenting of each other. The recommendation for application is five drops across your scalp, but I just tend to put how ever much is sucked up by the applicator, so to ensure everything is covered. Once you've done that, you need to allow for it to soak for 15 minutes during this time I usually start running a bath and maybe watch a youtube video too. Then you simply wet your hair and go straight in with your regular shampoo to wash any access away, and then you're free from a horrible dry scalp. I'm hoping to purchase something else from Aesop in the future, and luckily I'll be equally as impressed!
