Being the adventurer reviewer that I am, I went to Whole Foods and searched the whole body section for the concoction with the name "pulse." Pulse promises to "cleanse, awaken and energize the scalp, delivering nutrients to promote and stimulate growth and strengthen hair; making it a perfect tonic for both men and women with fine, thinning or receding hairlines." How could I not give it a try?
It has been almost two months and I just finished the 8 oz bottle this morning. (I wash my hair 6-7 times a week) Have I noticed thicker hair? No, but my hair is definitely looks and feels healthier, though seems even flatter (which I find to be the case any time my hair is healthy, like the time when I went au natural for a year) It's a little different to use the first few times, but it quickly becomes second nature. You have to shake it to ensure the ingredients are well mixed. Then you massage a quarter sized amount into the crown of your head. You wet your hair a little bit to help mix it around easier then add another quarter sized dollop to the rest of your head. Leave it on for at least two minutes before rinsing. (NOTE: it is natural, so it doesn't lather like regular shampoos, which makes it a bit tricky to know if you are cleaning your whole head) Also, as I'm sure is obvious since this is sold only online and at Whole Foods, it is pricey. $25 for 8oz. Ouch.
Here's my grade:
Packaging: A-
Ease of Use: C
Price: D-
Does as it claims: B- (because it did make my hair healthier, but not thicker)
Environmental Friendliness: A-
Overall Grade for Ctonics Pulse shampoo: C+
