In their words
“My daughter is 12 years old and she been suffering with itching, drying and flaking on head for 3 months. But nothing works, she kept scratching so much that it bleeds, and the worst part, her hair got so much flakes that it looks like lice eggs. Which works like magic, the photo i posted is before and after the 2nd time of use.”

“Fake product- smell and color are off. We didn’t return this product because we decided to keep it since it ended up getting delivered. We didn’t use til 6/30. We had ordered another in its place from Walmart directly and got that one first. Once this product was delivered we stored it away til we needed..”
