C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair, Mint-Infused Shampoo and Conditioner: Product Review

I have tried many different Bath and Body Works products and have had good experiences, so I don't usually hesitate to try their new products. The company recently released the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair Mint-Infused Invigorating Shampoo and Conditioner. I decided to try these products in hopes that the active ingredient, peppermint, would help keep my recurring scalp flakiness at bay. The reputation of Bath and Body Works products (natural ingredients, value, etc.) played a role in my decision as well.

I really like both products. The C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair Mint-Infused Invigorating Shampoo lathers quite a bit so a little goes a long way. This helps make the cost of $12 per ten ounce bottle easier to handle. The scent is great and the shampoo does not affect the texture of my hair in a negative way (does not seem to "strip" my hair).

The C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair Mint-Infused Invigorating Conditioner also smells wonderful and does a good job of leaving my hair soft and manageable. Both products create a mild tingling sensation that is quite pleasant and relaxing.

Because these products do not feature an abundance of additives or preservatives, like pretty much all Bath and Body Works products, I did not have to worry about a potential allergy even though I have sensitive skin. I also did not have to worry about an ingredient somehow making the flakes on my scalp worse.

Which brings me to the flakiness issue. Yes I do still have a flaky scalp. However, the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair Mint-Infused Invigorating Shampoo and Conditioner products have helped. With regular use (several times a week, if not every day), I have smaller flakes and less of them. And my hair still looks decent. One reason I don't like many shampoos that are medicated is that with frequent use my hair becomes more and more straw like. I have found the best way to achieve maximum effect is to let the shampoo and conditioner each sit on my scalp for a few minutes, after massaging the product into my hair and scalp.

I have been pleased with these Bath and Body Works products in terms of scent, quality, value and active ingredient. I would love to buy these products again, when my current supply runs out. However, there is a bit of hesitation as $12 per bottle is a bit much. If I hadn't had a coupon for buy one get one free with first purchase I may not have been able to afford buying my current supply in the first place. That being said, if you don't mind the price, the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Hair Mint-Infused Invigorating Shampoo and Conditioner are great products. I recommend them as good products for daily use, even for those who don't have any scalp issues.
