One PS editor tests out the Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo for her irritated and flakey scalp.
For a long time, I prided myself on being a drugstore shampoo girl. When the opportunity to blow significant amounts of money presented itself, I gravitated toward buying an extremely unnecessary eyeshadow palette over an expensive bottle of hair care. Why spend the equivalent of two whole pizzas on my hair when my $7 option did the job just fine?
Well, all of that changed recently when I woke up one day this winter to find my scalp had pulled a total 180 on me overnight. Suddenly I was experiencing a whole host of fun scalp issues that my beloved drugstore shampoo seemed to only exacerbate, like soreness, stubborn greasiness, and even a weird layer of white gunk that built up on my scalp’s surface no matter how many times I washed. Sexy, no?
But just when I was starting to fear that my scalp and I would never be on good terms again, I came across the heavenly scalp saver that is (cue the chorus of angels) Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo ($42). While forking over $42 for eight ounces of gray sludge in a jar did initially crush a small piece of my soul, I’m ecstatic to report that this product proved it was worth every penny spent.
