Sukin Hydrating
Verified37 reviews
I tried this years ago and liked it. Now I bought it and it leaves my hair in one big knot after washing. It hurts to brush out the knot after a shower and I lose half my hair. My hair doesn't feel as nice as it used to when I tried it many years ago. Throwing away both 1 litre shampoo and conditioner. A waste of money Show details
OUCH!!! – I have bought Sukin products for a few years now only when its on sale for 40% off. I'm too fussed on what shampoos I use but this is an Australian company & has a LONG LIST of a lot of nasties it DOESN'T HAVE. IF it's as natural as the claim why is my eye still stinging an HOUR after I accidentally opened an eye?? No mention of whether they use… Read more
Palm oil or not either than I can see anyway. I try to avoid palm oil in products where I can because of the devastating effects on the environment of use of this cheap oil.
This experience has made me realise I have too look around a little harder for a shampoo that aligns more with my personal principles.
after just checking that it TRULY IS an Australian company & found it is a $70 million dollar business. Well they've just lost one customer.

Terrible – Only realized after the 4th wash and condition that it was the shampoo and conditioner that was giving me an agonizingly itchy scalp to the point of waking me up during the night scratching. As soon as I used a different shampoo and conditioner, the itching stopped. My skin is far from sensitive and tolerates most products, but definitely not this one.
Positive reviews
BEST I'VE TRIED in 60 years for my dry frizz and super sensitive scalp – Have weird mixed texture dry frizzy hair, am very happy with this shampoo, gives me an optimal result; for me its just as cleansing as any other shampoo but less 'frizzifying' and leaves zero irritation. (Am always looking out for when the large size is on sale.) LOVE IT. Neutral/nil scent in case you need to know. I sometimes add a drop of… Read more
peppermint oil to the bottle. (#I can only use Sukin products that have no rosehip, am very allergic & must check ingredients carefully)
Sukin hydrating shampoo is great – I have been using Sukin shampoo for months and have no problems at all. I really love that it is cruelty free and all natural and environmentally friendly. Don't understand all the complaints about it....I believe too many people have too higher expectations. Show details
Gentle – I use it to wash off coconut oil in my hair It doesn't leave me feeling dry or irritated, even when I use a lot and washes out all the oil. I don't need to double wash the oil out if I use a generous amount, about one pump for each section. I only section my scalp in 3 sections and last part is my lengths so I use 4 pumps in total to remove… Read more
coconut oil. Have been doing this for a year and I've never had issues and my hair is beautiful and strong, and less frizzy thanks to the coconut oil too. Not sure why people don't like the smell but it's quite nice.
Negative reviews
Terrible – Brought this product thinking it would be better for my hair. First wash it sucked the life out of my hair and the condition was no better. I threw it out, waste of money. Very disappointed
Never use this product – I used this shampoo for 2 months and I lost nearly half of my hair. It is so so damaging and dying. Big No for this product. This should be discontinued. Misleading Show details
Very damaging – This stuff is like industrial strength dishwashing liquid. It made my hair dry and brittle and it was falling out in clumps. I had to throw out an almost full bottle to avoid further damage. Do not buy!!! Show details

Sukin hydrating range – Well I have thick coloured hair and I find the hydrating shampoo and conditioner lovely in my hair. Left it soft and manageable. I have normally very itchy scalp, so good so far. Ps the hydrating conditioner is beautiful and soft. Show details
Terrible – This used to be good but now it's like dish washing liquid high lather, and will leave your hair dry and brittle. It smells like the stuff they use in mechanics to wash the grease off. I also used it to wash my bits and it stung which isnt normal. Used to be good, like most things. Shame they spoilt a good product. Show details
Not good – I purchased this product due to its long list of being free of more than 10 bad ingredients hoping it would hydrate my scalp. It did the opposite dried my scalp and ears very bad!! I tried it as a body wash and it did the same to my skin overall. I’m Very disappointed. Show details
Horrible Shampoo – This shampoo is so bad that I had to stop using it before any further damage was done. It dries out my scalp and my hair, it's completely stripped all my natural oils that normally protect my hair. It's not just a waste of money but with the potential damage it has caused my hair it is a horrible product. Show details

NOT toxic, but NOT cleansing either! – Was looking forward to using this shampoo/conditioner duo ... but am really disappointed. It REALLY doesn't seem to clean that great. You have to shampoo two or three times, which essentially strips the hair ... but the conditioner doesn't put back anything to make it easy to brush, nor style. It leaves the hair really DULL and lifeless, and my… Read more
curls are unruly and frizzy. Also, you really can't go without washing it again within a day or 2 because it makes your scalp a little greasy. It's great that it's not as toxic as most ... but if it doesn't do the job ... what's the point?
Disappointing – I wanted to try a natural shampoo and conditioner, usually love Sukin products but the shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel dirty, hair was dry and my scalp was so itchy. Have now switched to a different shampoo and my hair is soft, shiny and no itching scalp.
Terrible shampoo and conditioner – Tried the hydrating shampoo and conditioner and while it feels ok while applying it in the shower, it is now causing hair breakage and hair fall and my hair is drying out terribly. As well as being dry and breaking, it also has a weird residue left behind and my scalp is getting very itchy. This is after about 2 weeks of use. I've ordered another… Read more
brand of natural shampoo and conditioner that is salon grade in hopes of reversing the damage this has done. I like the Sukin ethos but will probably never try the haircare again.
Underwhelming – I wanted to try something new so I thought I'd try this shampoo and conditioner. It's quite disappointing as my hair seem to need a wash every second day. The smell doesn't last long and you don't feel that fresh newly washed feeling the next day. I'll be trying something new and I'm not going to wait until the bottles are finished. Waste of money. Show details
DO NOT BUY – I agree with another review on this site from a year ago. I bought this product to try something new. I used to use salon product and my boys (husband, 3 kids) used another supermarket brand. I continued to use this product for a few months, thinking it would take time for my hair to get used to it - washing my hair a minimum of every 3 days. And… Read more
after a few months, it seems like I would need to wash EVERY day to not feel oily with a disgusting layer of film from this shampoo. Although the boys seem no unbothered, I have noticed they all have lank, greasy looking hair. I’ll never buy this product again.
Not so useful – I bought this shampoo considering it a natural product and would not harm my hair, but did not see any benefit. My hair are dry as usual, falling as usual. Show details
lovely – beautiful shampoo and conditioner, only let down is it smells like rotting mandarins, other than that my hair feels soft and silky, if you don't mind the smell it's a great product Show details
Saved my bleach blonde hair – I have been bleach blonde for awhile and nothing was making my hair soft or grow but as soon as I switch to the Is my hair became so beautiful and is growing! Love it Show details
Great with No Nasties – I really like this shampoo and conditioner. It smells good and makes my hair feel clean. The conditioner is lovely and not 'slimey' like most mainstream chemical laden ones. I've tried all the different varieties and have found them all to be great products. Show details

Sukin-disappointing products – I bought a range of Sukin facial products for sensitive and dry skin-tried it for 3 months-unfortunately my skin has become worse then before starting the challenge in using these products. Not happy!! Show details
Very drying – I used this conditioner 4 times. My hair is normal. It became very, very dry, brittle and straw-like. I ceased using and it took some time for my hair to recover. It was not cheap and it is not value for money. Show details
Do not buy! – I am a huge sukin fan, I love their skin care range. However, their hair care range is terrible. I tried both of the shampoo and conditioners and both gave me chronic dandruff! To the point I was itching every minute and chunks were falling from my scalp. This had never happened before. I switched back to my old shampoo/conditioner and my dandruff… Read more
was gone within 10 days ... I am reviewing because their hair care range can be quite expensive and I unfortunately think it is a waste of money.
Terrible Shampoo and I gave it a fighting chance!!! – DO NOT BUY I thought I was making a wise decision switching to a shampoo that is organic and natural but it made my hair extremely oily after I showered even when using a small amount!!!! So much so, I bought a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up and continued to use this product thinking it would take time for my hair to get used to it -… Read more
washing my hair a minimum of every 3 days. It's been over a month and my hair is still oily and has a disgusting layer of film from this shampoo.
I have since switched to another brand. Waste of money and time.
Do not buy this shampoo – My hair is now totally damaged by this so called hydrating shampoo. Is so crispy and dry. If anyone looking for a hydrating shampoo never ever try this shampoo. Waste of money. Show details
Nothing hydrating about this – The worst shampoo I’ve ever used. Made my hair 100% drier.... actually crispy. Do not buy if you want to hydrate doesnt work at all. Total waste of money! Rubbish Show details
this didn't work for me – I tried this thinking it would be good for my hair and hydrate my scalp because it was paraben free. Instead after a week of use my scalp is dry and sores started to appear all over my head , only found out the seriousness of it when i got my hair cut today. this product might work for some, but didn't it work for me. Show details
Causes Hair Loss! – When I first used this shampoo, I began to notice that running my fingers through my hair while rinsing would cause hairs to come out a lot more than normal with any other product. I am very disappointed because the shampoo is very good for keeping my hair soft and hydrated, but I can't keep losing so much hair like this!! Show details
WORST SHAMPOO. DO. NOT. BUY – This shampoo has caused me heaps of hair fall. Even if I just run my fingers through my hair, it results in a ball of hair fall. It says hydrate but literally sucks out all the moisture leaving hair dry and frizzy. I was so upset with the amount of hair fall this shampoo caused me considering it's sulphate free and "Organic" Show details
Not a good Sukin product – I love Sukin products, but I bought the large bottle of Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner and it is the worst decision I ever made. It leaves a residue on the hair and does not leave my hair feeling clean like some of the other ones in the Sukin Range. A waste of money, will not buy it again. Show details
Shampoo + conditioner does wonders – Very pleased with this product (Sukin hydrating shampoo & conditioner). My hair has been very damaged/over bleached. It’s now a dull brown and has been lifeless and pulled into a ponytail for the last 3 months. Saw this on special at my supermarket and have only tried it the once so far. My hair immediately looks and feels soft and healthy. I… Read more
needed to apply shampoo twice to properly wash my hair. It isn’t slippery or frothy like the cheap shampoo I had been using. That’s probably a good thing but it required a bit more effort to work through my hair.
Conditioner is very nice. A little goes a long way. I left it in for a minute or so.
Fragrance seems nice, fresh, and quite subtle (which is a big plus for me)
Perfect product! – I have been using this for about 6 weeks now after using treseme for years. My hair is so much softer, thicker and it’s actually growing for the first time in years. I wash my hair once a week and it’s never left oily with this shampoo or conditioner. Love it and won’t ever go back.
Awful – I used this shampoo and instantly clumped my hair together and dried my hair out. I have thrown it away a waste of money Show details
