Selkie Hair Reviews 

Following a stroke, my husband is on numerous meds which affect his skin, particularly his scalp. After years of trying other products, Selkie has been a godsend, it is the only shampoo that clears his scalp condition and with regular use keeps it away. Thank you SELKIE, amazing.

I really wanted to love this product as I love the concept but unfortunately it’s left my hair limp and lifeless and needing washing twice as much 😩 I’ve used a whole bottle of shampoo to give it time for my hair to get used to it but it’s not improved. The shampoo doesn’t foam up very much so l, even with 2 lots, it doesn’t feel like I’m getting it all through my hair. Really disappointed. I hope they work to improve it as the values of this company are amazing.

So I've been asked to leave my review/experience here after what I wrote on an Instagram comment. Honestly I'm happy to do so because as woman with weird hair (blow-dry-able, straightenable, but naturally very curly), hair care has not only become a minefield, but also an expensive journey. Let me explain...

So I'm a woman of some maturity, salt and pepper hair with defined silver/white areas, but chosen dip dyed purple, just because... I'm of mixed race, so while my hair can handle heat, although doesn't love it, it's best work is achieved with any "curly girl" method. (Arduous, laborious, and often frustrating).

On my journey I've discovered a whole host of regimes and products that tend to require a system. Namely shampoo, conditioner, creme, gel, spray, blah blah, blah...all from the same brand. Mix and match isn't really an option there. But my hair being closer to an afro (i may dream) or wiry mess (more likely), products are necessary to tame it.

However, because I'm now in my silver years, I'm longing to be kinder to my locks, and mess with them less. Which is when I discovered Selkie. Yet another sceptical purchase, but loved the re-useable packaging, and well researched, award winning product, that uses ingredients that won't strip my hair of what little natural oils remain, but also nourishes it. (I'm prone to dry ends).

So here's me trying out Selkie on blow dried hair....the result was hair that felt and behaved as it did when I was a child. Full with movement and softness.

Then on curly hair...I only used one finishing product to cast/set my curls after they seemed to just bounce in to existence when my hair was wet. Then, when it dried, said curls were soft, natural, and full of movement. Not stiff or heavy, or felt as though a bucket of creme had been applied. I've not felt that in years. And actually I only had to wash it on day 4, as opposed to the daily damp and scrunch with previous products.

Honestly I still need to practice with Selkie a bit, because I think I may be using too much of it, and tonight I realised that I ought to wash with a little first, just to get the initial dirt out and thoroughly soak it, before wash number two. But I'll also say that as much as I enjoy using the suggested brush, I feel my hair is better conditioned without it. But then it's never done well being brushed or combed in the shower.

Truly my hair washing experience is now a huge pleasure and something I really look forward to.

Plaited hair tonight, so hoping to wake up with waves tomorrow....I'll let you know.

Great product and customer service! Love the eco credentials too!

I have been using Selkie for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. I have bleached blonde hair and I regularly get compliments on how shiny/thick it is and I have noticed a massive improvement on how it feels and looks. The colour stays in so much longer because I'm not using shampoo which strips the colour - so it stays looking blonde and I don't need to get it done anywhere near as much.

My hair feels and looks the healthiest it has ever been and I know that I'm treating it well by using good quality, natural ingredients. I honestly will never look back - I recommend this product to everybody!!

I’m not someone to normally leave reviews, but I genuinely had to because of how great Selkie has been for my hair health, particularly bringing my curls back and bringing more definition to them.

I haven’t seen definition in them for a long time and had been using random brands. But consistently using Selkie has basically transformed my hair. It feels healthier than it has for YEARS, and looks so much better too.

Also I love the packaging / aesthetic!

Loveeee these products!
My waves are wavier than ever, the formula has a delicious scent and my hair feels lusciously healthy afterwards.
Foams up nicely and the bottles are so cute.
Protecting the planet and my hair is a win win.
Officially converted 💚

Really wanted to like this product, since I am very sustainability-minded and as far as I am aware this is the only shampoo and conditioner on the market which is a refillable liquid formula. I waited for my previous shampoo and conditioner to run out so I had really hyped myself up for this! Unfortunately this left a residue in my hair and my scalp was incredibly itchy after use. It simply did not feel clean after washing. Updated because I’m really annoyed: I tried it again and was really careful about washing it out. It DOES NOT wash out. My hair looks greasy! So irritating because this is not a cheap product.

4.5 stars
I've been really pleasantly surprised with Selkie's shampoo & conditioner. I was initially quite skeptical as the shampoo definitely lacks the foaminess that bottle shampoos bring when washing but my hair has never felt so soft and healthy. I have very fine hair which usually becomes greasy within a day but I now get at least an extra day if not two before it needs washing again, very pleased! The price is a little high, but as I'm having to wash my hair less it actually works out quite well. I also really like the idea behind Selkie and it's the best alternative shampoo I've used so far.
Half a point knock down for the conditioner, which doesn't do the best job of detangling.
But overall, I'd definitely recommend!

Shocked at how good this product is, I have fine curly hair and an itchy scalp and always fork out for expensive shampoo and conditioner. I saw the promotion online and wanted to give it a go because I want to be more sustainable but wasn't expecting such good results. It's true that you need a bit more water to get a good lather with the shampoo, but I think that means the product has got less unnatural ingredients so it's just a change of habit. My hair is so soft and shiny and I've had less itchiness and irritation using Selkie than I have with with products I fork out £50+ for!! Converted and telling my friends and family!

Products’ a beauty..

Very good. Keeps my hair shiny and smooth. High quality product with no harmful chemicals. Would recommend this to my friends 👍

I love how Selkie made my hair feel. I have really fine hair that gets oily quickly and this shampoo really works for me. My hair feels so smooth after using it. I love how I can also refill the product which reduce the plastic use. Highly recommend.

A few months ago I made the move over to Selkie after seeing it promoted online and I'm so happy I did.

Initially, the lack of 'foaminess' that the shampoo provides in comparison to high street brands, was a struggle to get used to but I kept with it as my hair got its waves back, felt so much softer and less greasy. And now, a few months down the line I'm used to the way the shampoo works and feel so great when using it.

Not only has it got a fab smell but it feels like I'm really doing my part in cutting down on plastics, which I've long been wanting to do.

I really couldn't recommend it more and with so many people complimenting my hair, I find myself constantly spreading the Selkie word.

Thanks so much guys xxx

Love it. My scalps in much better condition and love being eco 👍🏼

I’ve been using this for about 4 months. I’ve always wanted to be sustainable but not use bars. This works amazingly. Will use forever!

I had high hopes for this product. I really wanted to like it but sadly I can’t.
The smell is terrible, my hair (fine) doesn’t feel clean after washing with the shampoo, and I can barely get my fingers through my hair after conditioning. Once my hair has been dried it feels (& looks ) like straw.
Subscription cancelled.

Leaves my frizzy hair silky and soft. Not harsh at all and I love that it comes in easily refillable and sturdy containers. Definitely recommend!

I really wanted to like this but it's absolutely terrible. I needed lots just to get any kind of lather worth the shampoo & the conditioner is a horrible feeling. This left my hair so dry & frizzy. Cancelled subscription. My husband is going to use what's left as I used it twice because he doesn't care what he uses.

Can’t recommend this product enough ! My hair hasn’t felt this healthy in years . I have my old hair back . Thank you Selkie x
