Review: Going for Soak. - - Review for Hello Klean Break Down Anti-Flake Scalp Soak - Breaks Down Product & Hard Water Mineral Build Up - Cleanse, Detoxify & Hydrate Your Scalp - Prevent Overproduction of Oil with Apple Cider Vinegar || Price: £25 (at time of ordering) - It took me a few attempts to figure out the best way of using this, but I'm very pleased now that I got there! The instructions could certainly be clearer.. The first time I applied it after shampoo, but before conditioner and oh my goodness my hair stunk of vinegar lol!! You definitely want to use it first, before washing your hair. It lathers extremely well, and you really do not need much of it. Far less than you'd use of shampoo for example, otherwise you'll still get that faint smell of vinegar afterwards. I've been using it once a week with a scalp massaging brush, left in for around five minutes. It leaves my hair feeling really soft and clean, and somehow almost fuller/thicker? I get really bad dandruff and this is the first product I notice I don't see any flakes after drying my hair. Huge fan of this brand, all of the products I've tried have been outstanding. Highly recommended.
Review: Works well as resetting hair - I buy this quite regularly to stop product buildup and reset my hair. I really like it, it lathers nicely and the smell (while not lovely) isn’t too much of an issue or off putting. Your doesn’t smell like vinegar after either. My hair is nice and soft after a wash with this

## Features

- IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S YOUR WATER: Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of shampoo by up to 50% as a result of excess soap scum being left on your scalp and hair strands. Chlorine found in your shower water can also strip the scalp of is natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated, resulting in flaky skin and dandruff. Unwanted heavy metals and minerals found in hard water also interfere with the scalp's natural barrier function making it more sensitive and prone to irritation.
- WHY CHOOSE HELLO KLEAN: Our gentle formula detoxifies your scalp by removing pollution, product build up and mineral deposits from hard water, all without the harshness of a physical scrub or exfoliant. Our low foam blend cleans your hair and skin without excess bubbles or lather, reducing the chance of leaving behind soap scum or residue. With a pH balance of 4.0, it also maintains the scalp's natural balance, without stripping the skin's natural oils.
- PREMIUM INGREDIENTS: Apple cider vinegar acts as a natural cleanser, breaking down mineral deposits from hard water, pollution and product build-up. This detox process unblocks pores to promote healthier hair growth. Phytic acid neutralises minerals from hard water to prevent drying of the scalp, reducing flakiness whilst strengthening the skin and hair. Fermented rice water hydrates the scalp, counteracting the drying effects of hard water whilst reducing frizz and enhancing skin health.
- AWARD WINNING SCALP HEALTH FORMULA: Our Break Down Anti-Flake Scalp Soak is no ordinary detox. Its lightweight, serum-like texture gently lifts away product and mineral buildup while replenishing hydration—so your scalp feels clean, balanced, and never stripped. No wonder it won Best Scalp Detox in the Woman & Home Hair Awards 2023.
- HOW TO USE: There's no need to use shampoo either before or after using the Scalp Soak. Simply apply directly onto a wet scalp and massage all sections of the head. Leave the product on your hair and skin for at least 5 minutes whilst you enjoy the lovely scent of fresh citrus. Once the time is up, rinse thoroughly and follow up with the Hello Klean Anti-Fading Conditioner.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this help with hair shedding?**
A: Hair shedding can be due to hormones, stress, genetics or lifestyle. Hard water leaves a film on your scalp, which blocks moisture and can lead to dryness and breakage. Regularly cleansing to remove buildup is essential for keeping your hair healthy.

**Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin and scalp?**
A: Yes. Our scalp and hair products are free from sensitising ingredients.

**Q: Is it suitable for chemically treated hair?**
A: Definitely. It's safe for all chemically treated hair, including keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts, and colour-treated hair.

**Q: What's the difference between Scalp Soak and Hard Water Shampoo?**
A: Clarifying Scalp Soak and Hard Water Shampoo are our dream team for tackling hard water issues right at the source. The Clarifying Scalp Soak takes on stubborn scalp buildup, while the Hard Water Shampoo prevents hair breakage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well as resetting hair

I buy this quite regularly to stop product buildup and reset my hair. I really like it, it lathers nicely and the smell (while not lovely) isn’t too much of an issue or off putting. Your doesn’t smell like vinegar after either. My hair is nice and soft after a wash with this

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It doesn't do wonders but it works
*by C***P on 31 January 2025*

Overtime I found that the best thing against flaky scalp , for me, is to find the balance between washing my hair too often/not often enough. For me that's about once every 2 days, max 3. Without using the product, I start seeing flakes on the 3rd or 4th day. Just to test it, I used it few times with my normal routine and then not washed my hair for as long as I could to see the difference and I started seeing flakes on the 5th day. So it does work but it won't just eliminate the flaky scalp problem if the rest of your routine is not helping. In terms of use, I use this after shampoo, before conditioner. Great bottle design, you just twist the tip and pour it directly on the scalp. Too runny to apply in hand first. For me it lathers a lot but only if I wash my hair before, which I always do. Smells a bit like vinegar, which is entirely expected given the ingredients. Although it says it smells like citrus, I couldn't sense any. It's a mild vinegar smell. After use (but before conditioning) my scalp and hair feels very clean and more nourished. After conditioning it feels more nourished compared to just shampooing + conditioning.
