Normcore Signature Shampoo — Reddit Reviews
by Amika
Updated November 10, 2026
Sea buckthorn shampoo leaves hair soft; oily roots and harsh fragrance divide users.
What the community says
A creamy, fragrance-heavy shampoo with sea buckthorn oil that leaves dry or damaged lengths unusually soft, especially in fine-hair routines. It can make roots oily faster, tangle some hair during washing, and leave a lingering chemical scent.
