Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I use it to pre-wash my hair after my regular shampoo. It's inexpensive, so it's very helpful. It lathers well, and I use it to remove the styling products I use quite a bit, but I think this is all you need for healthy hair! I like to nourish my hair, so I use Aujua afterwards. One pump and it creates a lot of fluffy foam!
My child loves this shampoo and has been using it exclusively for him for a long time! The scent isn't too strong at all, and he seems to like the gentle, natural floral scent. I use it occasionally too, and it lathers better than before, and it feels like I'm really taking care of my scalp, which is great ∩^ω^∩ My husband also suffers from dry scalp and dandruff sometimes, but for the past few years he's been using Merit before it gets to that point, and it seems to be preventing it. I recommend it because it's safe for the whole family to use.
I purchased Kao's Merit Shampoo Natural Floral with a gentle scent (refill). It lathers well and has a pleasant, soothing scent. Merit leaves your hair feeling refreshed and prevents dandruff and itchiness. I use it regularly because it keeps my scalp clean. Refilling the original container apparently reduces plastic waste by approximately 76 percent. Although it's not stated on the product, I was able to use it by attaching it to a smart holder. I would definitely purchase again.
I suddenly felt like using it, so I used my points to buy a conditioner refill. I have a lot of empty containers, so I decided to save money by refilling. It leaves my hair as smooth as I expected, and the nostalgic, comforting scent is soothing. I'd definitely buy it again.
I love the clean smell.
