Did nothing for Oil
Used this for a couple months now. It has done nothing to help with my oily scalp. Changed nothing to make my oilly hair last onger between washes. Still gets oily next or couple days after. Waste of my money.

Too watery
I found this product difficult to use as it’s super watery and difficult to apply. It says to use two pumps but I ended up using at least six to cover my hair. Didn’t notice any difference after using this so will not repurchase.

Did absolutely nothing - in fact, dried my scalp out
I had high hopes for this but it did absolutely nothing for my scalp. If anything, it dried it out even more and left it sore in places. It did nothing at all to remove any flakes and dry patches - in fact, my regular shampoo or Head & Shoulders works better! It's incredibly expensive for such a tiny bottle and when I purchased it, the image showed a pump top. When it arrived it had a simple plastic top, as is now shown in the updated image.This makes it almost impossible to apply, as you need to drip it into your palm and then use your fingers to rub it into your scalp. It took ages to get it all on, and I used quite a lot of the product in one go.I won't be using this again.

bye flakes
I purchased this for my boyfriend; during periods of stress his head becomes a flaky mess (he usually has mild dandruff) and this worked wonders! He really loves it and uses it once a week. I had warned him that it is runny from the reviews here but he is managing it and for the price point… it’s a steal!

Great formula, bad product
Treatment addresses my main scalp concerns: removes sebum deposit, reduces breakouts, prevents flaky skin. Great formula for very oily or flakey scalp. Kudos for aluminium packaging thus reducing plastic. Everything else about this product is mistake. Bottle is laughably small, 50 ml is suitable for mini product, 150 ml should be standard size. Application method is wrong as there is no way to reach scalp once product is massaged between hands. Pump splashes product everywhere - 20 % is wasted. Will not repurchase.All that makes me think that The Ikey List released this product

Worst treatment ever
Before using this product I only had a small dandruff problem. Now, I’ve been using it for a month, my scalp is itchy and big chunks of it are peeling off. It’s uncomfortable and it hurts. Would not recommend!

Scalp sorted flake & itch free
I had been suffering for a long time with a very itchy, flakey scalp, having tried too many products to even begin listing, including steroid scalp lotion from my doctor. I stumbled across The Inky List so I ordered the scalp treatment, to be honest I wasn’t expecting much but I was desperate. To my astonishment the results were literally instant. I followed the instructions, the product is water like so I ended up using a little more than the recommend amount, rubbed it in to my scalp, left it on for 10 minutes & washed & conditioned my hair as normal. I checked my scalp after drying my hair & I could not find one single flake & the best bit for me is no more itch. I only used the scalp treatment twice in the first week so there is quiet a bit of the product remaining & I haven’t had to use it since & I am still flake & itch free. Highly recommend this miracle potion.

I'm going to need a bigger bottle
This product is really good. I have fine hair that's become very oily lately, so oily I needed to wash every second day if not every day. This product has allowed me to stretch out to 3 or 4 days without having to resort to a ponytail. As other reviews have said, the packaging sucks, but the juice is great.

Too runny, hard to know if the product works
I love the inkey list so was looking forward to trying their haircare. Unfortunately, the formula of this is so liquid it is very hard to apply. The suggested method is 2 pumps into the palm then apply to the hair, but as its so runny gets caught in my long hair before most reaches the scalp. I've tried pumping it directly into the scalp but this uses loads, so the bottle won't last long at all. I think the product works well on the scalp, but the formula needs to be thicker (or the bottle changed)

Waste of money
I found this product is an absolute waste of money and time trying to apply it. The formula is very liquid and there is no way you can apply it properly on the scalp. 2 pumps as suggested don't go anywhere, so the whole bottle lasted about 3 applications and didn't make any difference. Definitely won't be buying it again and don't recommend it to anyone.
