I have psoriasis on my scalp and have really struggled with itchiness and irritation. This is so gentle, left my hair soft and manageable without the itchiness. Love.

the best shampoo he has ever used

My husband said its the best shampoo he's ever used. We've tried a lot over the years, he has longer, coarse, wavy hair with dandruff and all other shampoos used to strip his hair of natural oils. This manages his dandruff completely and doesnt strip his hair. Will buy again.

So far so good

I have some psoriasis on my scalp and also some breakage from past hard water damage. After my success with other Amperna products I decided to order the shampoo and conditioner despite some other reviews saying it was too dry, or not cleaning deep enough. It is taking a little while for me to get used to these products because I'm used to using a ton of shampoo that lathers a lot, and then a big dollop of a thick conditioner that leaves my hair feeling super silky and slippery right away after rinsing. I am trusting the process and using the recommended amounts of Amperna shampoo and conditioner and even though at first it feels like my hair isn't clean enough or conditioned enough, when I get out of the shower and use a thick comb and put a tiny bit of argan oil on my ends, my hair is drying beautifully. It is super clean, shiny and silky. So far so good!

Haircare duo vs eczema-it works!

I am writing this review for my husband. I purchased the haircare duo for him after he suddenly developed eczema. His scalp stopped itching the very first time he used this! He couldn’t be happier! Thank you for making such great products!

Scalp Care

I have waited months before posting a review about the haircare duo to do an honest review. I was having problems with dry, itchy scalp and seemed to be very sensitive to shampoos. I am an avid user of Amperna and love their products. Their skin line has helped me so when the haircare duo came out, I was eager to use it. I must say it has definitely helped to repair my scalp, but the product is too heavy for my hair. My hair felt heavy and dirty even though I know it was clean. The shampoo is moisturizing where I did not need any conditioner. Not all products work for everyone and unfortunately, it did not work for me. I tried for months in using it in different ways. I still use it once a week for my scalp care but I must wash my hair with another shampoo. I gave it three stars because of the heaviness on my hair. Give it a try though because it may work for you.

Great!

I admit to being super skeptical when buying this new haircare line with such demanding hair as mine! But with more and more brands on the market now causing my upper back to break out in these hive-like welts, even ones that were previously safe, I tried it. And I am so happy I did. Not only has my back cleared up fully, my wavy/curly hair prone to frizz is looking amazing! I still do use a frizz-taming product on the ends (bleached...) after each wash, but it's much, much more effective.

The only downside is having to wash my hair more regularly but not problematic enough to dock a star. Thank you for creating yet more products that truly work for us sensies!

Soft hair

I've been through so many different shampoos for sensitive scalp and they either cause itchiness or make my hair dry or fall out. This shampoo & conditioner keeps my hair soft and my scalp has not reacted at all. I'm noticing slightly less hair fall too. So glad to find something that works.

naturally curly hair

I have very fine thin naturally curly hair with skin prone to cystic acne, eczema & perioral dermatitis - this shampoo & conditioner combo has been a perfect addition to my other Amperna products

What I've been waiting for!!

I have been struggling with my scalp psoriasis for 4 years and have found a few products that have helped but this shampoo and conditioner are the two things that have been missing. UNTIL NOW! I love the way it makes my sometimes irritated and flared scalp feel and my hair is soft and less frizzy. I love all the Amperna products I use and will continue to purchase them all the way from the US. Thank you Amperna!

Loving this new hair care!

I’ve been hanging for these Haircare products to be launched and they did not disappoint. As someone who has the MOST sensitive skin, I’m always having reactions to Haircare. Even the most natural options seem to irritate me. I love how these don’t have strong scents, just like the skincare. I’ve been using them for about 3 weeks now and my hair is so shiny and soft. My hair is very fine and gets super oily at the roots. After a wash, it feels nice and bouncy. I just love them!! Thanks Kiri for your commitment to us sensitive skin people!

Improved scalp

I’m a big fan of the soothing duo for PD so I bought this bundle after experiencing a dry scalp postpartum. After using it for a few weeks I’ve noticed less flaking. I do find it leaves my hair feeling a bit heavy and I am having to wash it more frequently or it gets too greasy.

Thank you so much for your feedback - we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the Soothing Duo.

Regarding the haircare products, it’s great that you’ve noticed changes in your scalp, though the feeling of heaviness and quicker oil build-up can sometimes happen when introducing a new routine, especially when hair and scalp needs fluctuate postpartum. A few small adjustments can often help the products feel more comfortable for everyday use:

Try using a smaller amount of product, particularly the conditioner. Using less can help keep the hair feeling lighter.

Double-shampooing at the start can help freshen the scalp and remove any initial buildup.

You might also like to try reverse washing - applying a small amount of conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends first, then shampooing afterwards. This helps minimise residue and can keep the hair feeling cleaner for longer.

Your hair may need a little time to adjust, and these tweaks are often all that’s needed. If you’d like help tailoring the routine further, we’re always here to support you if you would like to email info@amperna.com

Great hair care bundle

Am so happy that I purchased the shampoo and conditioner. I have definitely seen an improvement in the condition of my hair, feels softer and more hydrated, only need a small amount to give a good clean. Hopefully will see my hair grow and more hydrated. 🙂

Kiri's Story

Before creating AMPERNA®, I lived with reactive skin. It was frustrating and often isolating, as I struggled to find products that didn’t make things worse.

That experience inspired me to develop a range that is gentle, simple, and supportive for skin, so others searching for calmer, more comfortable routines would have options they could turn to.

AMPERNA® is the result of that journey. Every product is guided by the same philosophy: kind formulations, inspired by real skin stories.
