Headblade Head Shed review (initial experience)

[wutwutman]

So I saw that my local Walgreens had HeadShed in stock so of course I grabbed a bottle.  Couldn't wait to use it the next morning!

Here's my first time experience:

Pros -

A little bit goes a long way
Pleasant scent
Definitely gets your head clean!
Average priced

Cons -

surprisingly aggressive abrasion.  maybe too much for my taste.
probably better suited for shower use, as it takes a minute or two to make sure it is completely rinsed off

I do like the product.  I'll have to use it a few more times before I decide if it joins my regular rotation.  My only real complaint is the level/size of the grit.  On my head they felt HUGE.  Almost like I was rubbing gravel on my head LOL  Other than that it's pretty good so far...

I use this a few times a week and enjoy it, i use it on my face as well. Too tough to use daily so I'll rotate with the headblade wash. My only complaint is the fact I have to unscrew the top to get the product out as it clogs the dispenser cap and then it's easy to get too much out and end up wasting it

[wutwutman]

Yep i agree about not using it daily... i'll have to check out the Headblade Wash..  Out of habit (i'm slightly OCD lol) I always rinse the bottle nib with hot water before I close it.  That might solve your clogging issue...

I really like HeadShed, but it's not for daily use and it's much better to use it in the shower.

I've used it before, but I won't again.  As WutWutMan said, the abrasive grit felt HUGE and, if you'll pardon the expression, rubbed me the wrong way.  I find a lil soap and a nylon-net scrubby thing works just fine to get any dead skin off.

Absolutely love this stuff. I've personally never had a problem with the grit, feels great on my head.

With that said, I definitely don't use it daily; mostly every other day in the shower. I'm sure daily use would start bothering me to a degree.

I used it a couple more times.. in the shower.  I must admit that changed the experience for the positive for me.  Although the grit still feels like gravel, using it in the shower makes for a MUCH nicer feel.  And it rinses much easier.  So it going into my rotation probably a couple times a week.  My dome always feels squeaky clean after using it LOL

I use it about once a week, in the shower. I use it just before that day's head shave.

I don't find it overly abrasive, but just about right for me. I think if I used it everyday, that would be a different story.
