What this product is

Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.

Overview

Honey & Macadamia Shampoo is a shampoo from Kundal, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on moisture, frizz control and oil control. The ingredients doing most of that work are Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Glycerin. The list runs to 78 ingredients, 20 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.

How it cleanses

It is sulfate-free: the cleansing is done by Lauryl Glucoside and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, milder surfactants that leave more of the hair's own oil behind.

How it feels on hair

The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. There are no silicones in the list. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.

Protein

There is a small amount of protein in the list: Arginine.

On the scalp

For the scalp itself the formula carries Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract and Panthenol. On an oily scalp the richer ingredients here can read as greasy at the roots.

Where it goes

It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else. Moisten hair and scalp with lukewarm water. Apply an appropriate amount to your hands, foam and massage your hair and scalp. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

What it is not for

Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, volume / lightweight, curl definition and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.

In short

Working for it

  • No sulfate detergents
  • No silicones
  • Fits the Curly-Girl method
  • Light enough for fine hair
  • Suitable for colour-treated hair
