It is pure genius

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

I have a lot of allergies to fragrances, so I was worried about ordering this oil, but I read the reviews and thought I would take a chance. It isn't a heavy oil, its light and easily soaks into the scalp. The scent it wonderful, and the ingredients did not irritate my scalp so for me this makes an even greater reason why I like it. The most important thing as well is that it has improved my dry scalp immensley. To not have a dry scalp anymore was worth the gamble.

Lovely soothing treatment

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

I was a bit sceptical on using this oil, but was very pleasantly impressed. It only took ten minutes to use, and after washing it out, my scalp was really soothed and my hair felt clean and not greasy. Will be using it once a week from now on. Highly recommend

A scalp oil I would recommend

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

I have fine thinning hair and have used a number of scalp treatments to ensure that I give any growth the best foundation I can. I have to say this is very good it is easy apply, smells nice and my hair looks thicker after using it. I will purchase again.

Wow! Love this hair oil.

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

This product is simply wow! Love the simplicity of it and the power of it. My scalp has never felt better. It used to itch so much a couple of days after washing and would get worse with dry shampoo. After using this product once a week my scalp is so much calmer and I think my hair is starting to look a little less thinned!

So impressed

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent pre-cleanse hair oil. I wondered if it would help with itchy scalp, or helping my hair to grow, or to keep my baby hairs strong. After a month of use, I can say that it does all 3. Smells divine, 98% natural ingredients, and fully recyclable packaging. Well worth adding to your haircare routine once a week.

Leaves my hair feeling clean

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product did work to clear my scalp and made my hair feel clean. The packaging looks nice and of quality however the product did leak out of the applicator so I would be careful of eyes. Overall the product is good and does what it says.

My scalp has never felt better – Pure Genius is ex

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hair by Sam McKnight Pure Genius has been a total game-changer for my scalp health. I’ve struggled with dryness and sensitivity for a while, and this product brought noticeable relief almost immediately. It’s soothing, nourishing, and somehow manages to deeply hydrate without leaving any residue or heaviness. What really sets it apart is how balanced my scalp feels – no more itchiness, flakiness, or irritation. It feels clean, calm, and healthy, which has made a huge difference in the overall look and feel of my hair too.

Good product

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this product out after receiving it and was unaware of the brand completely so went into it with an unbiased approach’ . I applied this before having a shower ( a little goes a long way) and saturated my scalp completely and then massaged it in . It felt really relaxing and nice treatment for your scalp. After the shower I noticed the usual build up I get sometimes by the root to be gone as this product makes you spend more time washing your scalp

Hydrating and Refreshing

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not really one to use scalp oils even though I need to use them. I have scalp psoriasis, and this oil was actually really nice to use. I like the fragrance it's refreshing. The oil leaves my scalp hydrated, and it washes out perfectly. I would consider purchasing this when mine runs out.

Outstanding products and even more impressive customer care

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

Gorgeous scent and scalp feels so comfortable after using it, think my hair looks glossier and only time will tell if density and general condition improves. Would also like to highly commend the customer care team, i had a small issue upon delivery and they were outstanding!!
