2 Tarryn G.  · Smells great but gave everyone in the family the worst dandruff :( Can’t be a coincidence.

Do not buy. Hairloss, greasy and leaves scalp flakey after continuous use. It use to be good hence why I used it for so long before realizing it was making my hair yucky. Show details

DO NOT BUY - i bought this because i thought it was natural vegan etc ect and australian but i kept wondering why alot of my hair was falling out. It was this shampoo and conditioner! Never again. As soon as i realised it was causing all of my hair loss i threw it out and bought something else and straight away my hair stopped breaking and falling out. Show details

DO NOT PURCHASE "MY SODA SHAMPOO OR CONDITIONER " – I purchased My Soda Smooth shampoo and My Soda hydrate conditioner because it was free of so many things as I have sensitive scalp. Anyway after using it my scalp developed sores and was so itchy. My husband said to me, I have sores on my head, and I asked if he used the shampoo, he said he did. I rang customer service, but they basically said… Read more

once you have purchased it there is no recall. I would have liked my money back. Anyway that's life. So, if you have sensitive skin, DO NOT buy this product. It is highly perfumed so maybe it's that, I'm not sure whats in it that causes skin irritations. But for my husband to experience the same thing, there has to be some hidden nasties in it.

I do not recommend – I brought this product two weeks ago. It smelt lovely and my hair is nice and soft. BUT ... I noticed lumps all over the back of my neck and shoulders like little pimples but with no head they look like little cysts. They are everywhere, I have never suffered from anything like this before and very rarely get pimples. But I literally have about 20 of these lumps all over my neck. Show details

My new go to hair care – From the moment I opened my package I was hooked. The bottles and the colours are amazing & so fresh looking. The smell of the shampoo and conditioner is subtle and a soft smell. You only need a little to go along way with the shampoo. My hair is coloured so I used the “Tame that Frizz” my hair felt clean and not dried out. Then followed up with… Read more

the conditioner which left my hair soft and easy to comb through the conditioner. After drunk my hair was easy to dry and style and the subtle scent of the Rosehip & Coconut Oil is amazing. Definitely buying this again

DO NOT BUY - MAJOR HAIR LOSS – This product has nice bottles, refills and the smell is nice however, I HAVE LOST OVER HALF MY HAIR VOLUME!! That’s right… OVER HALF!!! I’ve always had healthy, long and thick hair, I am so upset that I didn’t realise it sooner as I had a baby several months ago and thought it was postpartum hair loss until I read the reviews of this product and… Read more

realised that a lot of women have had the same effects and experience that I am currently going through. I am so gutted! My hair is dull, brittle and my scalp gets itchy a day later after washing. I am loosing clumps and clumps of hair every time I run a brush through it and have hair all over my bathroom floor. This product should be banned!! I think it is disgusting that it is allowed to be sold and is still on the shelves for people to buy.. ITS TOXIC!! how do the companies get away with this? I am absolutely devastated that this product has ruined my hair and the fact that I don’t know if my hair will ever recover its thickness, I’m in tears, Please do NOT buy!

Great shampoo for cleaning , especially the scalp – I disagree to the negative comments . I have used many good brands like kerstase, oribe,rituals etc etc etc And also signed up many salon scalp treatment packages , so I think I’m a good reference . I got the SODA shampoo as a gift . Was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the cleansing function especially the scalp , at the same time… Read more

not drying for the Hair. It’s a surprise because usually when the scalp is so clean , the Hair tend to be dry , but instead hair feels clean and HYDRATED ! Never had a product at this price range with this effect. This is so great for everyday shampooing as I exercise everyday and need to shampoo everyday . No irritation at all , smell is so soft and clean , can feel shampoo is made with care for even sensitive scalp like mine. SOOTHING but effective . GREAT BUY ,will recommend to anyone to try . ( of course , still alternate with my hair treatment cream , as usual , regardless of what brand of shampoo i use.

Going to buy another set very soon .

Another OC Naturals Fantastic Product – I recently used the My Soda Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. I thought the OC product I last used was amazing but this Shampoo will not disappoint! The Shampoo bottle that not only looks great in any bathroom but reduces plastic by 80%. When its finished don't throw the bottle away, OC have even designed refill packets to cut down on landfill… Read more

waste. A sure winner in my eyes when we can help save the planet. The smell is invigorating, fruity and floral. It lathers well and feels very soft to use in your hair. My hair was very shiny and felt totally refreshed after using My Soda. This company also gets my approval for its products being Paraben, Sles, Petrochemical free and Mineral Oil free & Cruelty Free. Considering all the positives this shampoo offers its very well priced on the supermarket shelf. If your looking for a great, well priced shampoo and Conditioner I urge you to support this Family owned Australian business. Congratulations OC your products get better and better and are a pleasure to use!

Good shampoo, dodgy packing – Shampoo is good but it is almost impossible to get the pump action to work! This is my third bottle.... first worked fine, second stopped working after a short time, third one WILL NOT PUMP as the pump won't unlock. Really annoying especially as I've disgarded the receipt so unable to return to store. Show details

Great product – I’m undergoing immunotherapy and side effects were dry skin and scalp. I bought Sosa happy scalp and am amazed at the difference in my scalp. I highly recommend this product. Also bought hydrating conditioner and my hair is now looking much healthier. Show details

MySoda best for curly and coloured hair! – Good morning! I just wanted to share some positive feedback. With my very curly, pink-colored hair, finding the right nourishing product was a challenge, aside from one overly expensive option. That is, until I discovered the MySoda range. My curls have never looked healthier or held their shape better! Thank you so much for creating such amazing products. I’m definitely sticking with MySoda and saying goodbye to the overpriced brands for good!

For about 3 weeks now I’ve been blaming post partum due to my excessive hair loss not knowing this product is the main culprit. I purchased this shampoo and conditioner at 3 months post partum and have lost soooo much hair. Everytime I brush my fingers through I lose clumps and it’s even worse when I wash and brush my hair. I had healthy hair… Read more

during and after my pregnancy. I am so sad to see it turn crap after using this product. This brand needs to get off the shelf as soon as possible. I feel sorry for myself and every other person who has experienced this out of excessive hair loss.

My hair does not feel clean after use. It does nothing good for my hair. I've gone back to my old shampoo. Waste of money. Now looking at the other reviews, makes sense why my hair was falling out and I have developed much more body acne recently.

Will not get again – The smell of this shampoo is what made me get it after asking someone what shampoo they use as it smelled amazing. Sadly for myself that's been the only positive my dandruff has gotten worse and my hair has become very dry. I did not use the conditioner but I don't believe it would've helped the situation. Show details

All my hair has fallen out in clumps – I actually thought there was something seriously wrong with me. My hair has been falling out in handfuls and clumps. I attributed it to stress but as I am now losing more than 500 hairs per day, I have been to dermatologist. Only thing I’ve realised is my hair only started to fall out after using this shampoo. The design is cute and it smells… Read more

nice, but seriously avoid if you want to have good hair health. Made more than 50% of my hair fall out and I’m so relieved to realise this has happened to other people too and it’s not just me going crazy.

Horrible – Causes itchy scalp, hands & feet (from using in shower). Hair started falling out in clumps. Never experienced this with other shampoos, so it’s going straight in the bin! Show details

Scalp sores, damaged dry hair from use – I bought this cos it was beautiful packaging, smelt great, initially it felt like it made my hair so shiny and nice. Have been using it for around 8 months now, I now have scalp sores, itchy inflamed scalp. Suuuuuper dry ends, so dry they feel like straw. Oily scalp. It just didn’t make sense so I changed shampoos and everything went back to normal, scalp normal, hair felt normal again. Please avoid. It’s cheap for a reason

Itchy and scalp sores – Immediately itchy scalp. I've used for 3 weeks...because it smells nice and I only bought a small bottle, I wanted it to be ok. However, I can't ignore fact any longer. Crazy how irritating it is. I didn't even wash my.scalp heavily. And I have thick long hair and very oily. I love how clean it looks an feels too. But the little.sores on my scalp. Not good...

VERY EFFECTIVE!! – I am absolutely amazed with the results! It worked wonders on my hair, leaving it incredibly shiny and perfectly moisturized. Not only did it lighten my blonde hair beautifully, but in only two washes completely got rid of any orange brasy undertones. And the best part? It’s so affordable! I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking to transform their hair. Show details

Sets your hair health back – Don’t reccommend- not a great product if you have healthy hair! I had been using both the shampoo and conditioner and have been putting up with an itchy and flaky scalp since (which i’ve never had) not clicking what was causing this. My hair has become brittle and dry even after regular trims, treatments etc. I truly believe this is the common… Read more

denominator for why my hair has been declining in health after it being so thick, healthy and long! It does smell fresh and the packaging is nice however something isn’t right with these products after prolonged use on your hair.

Not suitable for all skin - Causes irritation – This product should come with a warning. For weeks I was unable to the let one part of my head touch anything. It also affected one side of my face. Like another review said it felt like nettles, not quite itchy but extremely sensitive to the touch and prickly. I couldn’t work out what it was from until I read these other reviews. A week later and cortisone cream applied it is feeling a lot better thankfully. Show details

DO NOT BUY- MAJOR HAIR LOSS – I have been using this product for about 6 months, and specifically purchased based on that it was ethical (apparently no animal testing, plant based, no harmful chemicals, Aussie made etc) BUT I have been loosing an incredible amount of hair, coming out in major clumps - like a really scary amount! I reckon I have lost over half of my hair… Read more

When I brush my hair I'm losing a huge amount… Read more

Hair falling out – So after using this brand for a couple of months my hair has started falling out and is extremely itchy, brittle and dry. I had the same issue many years ago with the Natures Organics my hair never grew back. Today to my dismay I’ve found out that Natures Organics owns My Soda Australia. Why are these companies allowed to produce such rubbish and leave people traumatised and depressed. Show details
