Amika Normcore

For haircare in general, I have a really hard time finding products that suit my hair type and that smell good (scents are dealbreakers for me!). I have an oily/dry scalp, which means it’s always a hassle when looking for shampoos that are good mediums for this.

I was so surprised by this shampoo the first time I used it. I finished drying my hair and my scalp felt moisturized, but not oily at all, and my hair was super clean yet not stripped! I couldn’t believe that this shampoo checked all the boxes for my hair needs. I’m hardly ever impressed by shampoos, so this was definitely a first. My hair felt soft and healthy :)

When it comes to scent, there are some mixed emotions. I personally really like the smell, it’s quite sweet and citrusy. I don’t usually like this type of scent, but after the first use, I got used to it, so now it’s very mild and pleasant. However, my mom and sister really don’t like it for some reason. Because of this, I highly recommend you give it a good whiff in stores before purchasing.

Overall I give this one a 9.5/10. Let me know if you’ve tried it!
