I love using products with moringa for hair benefits and skin benefits they provide. In fact, one of my favorite shampoo and conditioner is a Korean brand with moringa as the primary ingredient. Sad thing is that I've run out weeks ago and can't get more because the product was discontinued.
In my quest finding similar hair care products, I seem to have triggered my sensitive scalp to freak out. The result? I developed ultra oily scalp and dandruff. Knowing that I have sensitive skin, I was on the lookout for hair care products that would help me get rid of dandruff naturally. Good thing I saw Moringa-02 come up with a #bluemoringa variant for their moringa personal care line via Moringa-O2's Instagram! I immediately went to Watson's but came back empty handed so imagine how happy I was when Sampleroom.ph made the blue moringa anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner available for free sampling yassss!
(edit: that was more than 10 days ago I'm pretty sure this product have hit the shelf in some Watson's and other retailers nationwide by now).
Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Moringa oleifera, otherwise known as malunggay, is a wonder tree that's scientifically proven to have properties that make moringa oil great for the skin and has a ton of hair benefits too. I was initially drawn to Moringa-02's products middle of 2017 and wanted to get my hands on this new blue moringa variant because I've read up about moringa hair benefits and how it may be able to get rid of dandruff naturally.
Here is the full product information:
Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Claims
- Rosebay can minimize sebum and oil (I got oily scalp) and has a soothing effect (you'll see later how inflamed my scalp was).
- Malunggay, olive oil, sunflower oil, and argan oil moisturizes scalp while controlling dandruff.
- lighter and milder formula that won't dry out hair as much as other similar anti-dandruff products.
Promising, right?
That's what I thought too! perfect timing as well that this was made available for free sampling at Sampleroom.ph a little over a week ago. Maybe they got someone who's psychic there haha!
So anyway, yes I got dandruff near the end of December. I think my dandruff was caused by a combination of me testing different products at the same time (tried 3 new variants of Shiseido the week I got dandruff), my fluctuating hormones related to PCOS, holiday stress, the weather, and perhaps lots of traveling for work and my scalp being exposed to just a lot of things at the same time.
I tried several products before using Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner but they'd usually just tame my scalp's itchiness and do nothing for the flakes. There was a time when I thought I found something but alas, did not work as well...
...which is why I am very happy for finally being able to try this Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner. This worked for me and you'll see exactly how well in the later part of this blog.

Okay, let's move on to the review.
I've decided to just keep a one week journal of how this blue moringa shampoo and conditioner helped me get rid of dandruff naturally (no weird treatments, just using a high quality product with good ingredients).
so here's my 1 week with Moringa-02
I would like to apologize for poor photo quality these are screenshots for review video which will be published at a later date.
Day 1: As you can see, this was an hour before I used Moringa-02's blue moringa for my hair woes. Look how reddish my scalp was and how you can see the flakes, yikes!
Granted that this photo was taken after a full day of activities, still not looking good and you can see how bad my dandruff was. Notice how clumped/oily my hair was near my scalp. Ewww!
Day 3: What an improvement! My scalp is not as inflamed anymore and not as oily although this photo was also taken at the end of the day. Flakes are still visible but markedly fewer than a few days prior.
Day 5: Can you see how healthier and shinier my hair is? The photo was also taken at the end of the day! Oil from my scalp is visibly reduced yet I can only see a few flakes that are not super obvious anymore. Yay!
Day 7: I opted to finally comb my hair so you guys can see how almost invisible the flakes are. You really have to look closely to see any and even so, they are very tiny. See how much nicer the hair is? It has a healthy shine. I'm holding a victory sign to signify I'm moving on to week 2 with Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner.
Another look at Day 7 this time with uncombed hair. This photo was taken to mark the 8th week since I colored my hair at home using Liese Blaune Bubble Hair Color. I'm holding up 4 fingers because I take a photo every 2 weeks to check if the hair color is still intact.
Verdict: Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Review
I love this Moringa-02 product! I would just like to note that although it worked great for helping me get rid of dandruff naturally, my damaged hair needed some extra moisture on most days. If you have dry hair you might feel that you need a separate conditioner too. What I did was just use the Moringa-02 Skin and Scalp Therapy oil on my hair ends as an oil treatment half an hour before bathing with the blue moringa variant.
I love this! Want a separate review? |
A recap of my 7-day Review of Moringa-02 Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner
- Minimized sebum: YES! 5/5
- Soothing effect: YES! 5/5
- Moisturizes scalp: YES! 5/5
- Dandruff control: YES! Yes! 5/5
- Mild formula: YES! 5/5
will I recommend? No doubts about this! YES!
Any cons?
Dry hair might need an extra oil treatment or serum (this was written in the how to use section but I only have the oil, not the serum). The color is a bright teal which I found a bit weird, haha!
Pros?
Love the scent, love the cooling effect, and love the focus on natural ingredients to help get rid of dandruff naturally.
Additional thoughts:
My dandruff is not totally gone yet and that is understandable because I've only been using this for a week. I also noticed that small flakes would begin showing when its been more than 24 hours since I washed my hair. That is fine by me because I wash my hair every night anyway. What I am happy about is that I can walk around with my hair down throughout the day and not worry about people seeing huge flakes and lots of oil on my head. That's a win in my book!
