Hate the New Formula

I used to love this shampoo/conditioner set before the reformulation but the new formula hates my hair. Hair feels like straw and made my scalp itch. Tried a few times, even exchanged for a new bottle, no luck. Not sure what happened, but went from a 5 star to a no star.

DO NOT BUY!.

I used Amika products for years, and I absolutely loved them, especially, the yellow line. When they announced the new formula, I was actually really excited to try it. I still had some of the old shampoo and conditioner until May, and then I finally switched to the new version. I used it consistently for two months because I wanted to give it a fair chance, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. It left a strange film on my hair, and with every wash my hair felt heavier, greasier, and harder to manage. On top of that, I started experiencing noticeable hair shedding. At first, I thought it might be hormonal, so I had a full set of blood tests done, and everything came back normal! I eventually switched to Oribe, and my hair started improving almost immediately. It feels much healthier now, and the excessive shedding has significantly decreased. Everyone’s hair is different, but please avoid this shampoo!
