Haircare enthusiasts are singing the praises of an innovative hair care brand, Straand. This Australian brand’s mission is to not only make your hair soft and sleek but also to soothe and rid your scalp of flakes.
Known as ‘skincare for your scalp’, a full-sized hair care routine from Straand usually costs over £60. However, the brand has recently launched a Scalp Care Starter Kit, allowing you to try before you buy – and it’s currently available for free.
The starter kit, which normally costs £19, has had its price slashed, with only a £9.99 two-day postage fee required. And users are set to see results in a matter of a few weeks.

Promising transformative results in six weeks, the set includes the brand’s Crown Cleanse Anti-Dandruff Prebiotic Shampoo (£20), Crown Boost Prebiotic Conditioning Treatment (£18) and The Crown Fix Prebiotic Scalp Serum (£20). Beauty fans have been raving about the impressive results from this trio, whose scalp-loving and nutritious ingredients have been hailed as a ‘game changer’.
For instance, DefenscalpTM, an extract of rosebay – dubbed a ‘superhero of scalp care’ – helps keep flakes and oil at bay while balancing your scalp’s microbiome and ecosystem. Panthenol (vitamin B5) and Pentavin are hydration powerhouses that leave hair silky smooth, moisturised and voluminous, as well as making hair stronger and less prone to breakage, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Meanwhile, jojoba and almond oil are a multitasking dream team that hydrates, soothes, and prevents split ends and dryness. Hydrolyzed wheat protein is the secret to banishing frizz, as it ‘strengthens from the inside out while giving your hair the moisture boost it deserves’ and creates a ‘protective barrier’ against daily damage.
The shampoo in the kit detoxifies the scalp, removing excess oils, flakes, and product residue, while the conditioner restores shine and moisture. Top off the treatment with the pre-biotic-rich scalp oil to lock in benefits. The nutrient-packed formula, along with its vibrant 70s-style orange packaging, has garnered acclaim.
One enthusiast of the six-week starter pack said: “After using Straand my hair feels incredible, soft, hydrated and full of life! The scalp products have really transformed the health and appearance of my hair and I love how it styles! ” Another fan praised: “I have been loving using the Scalp Care Starter Kit from Straand. My scalp was previously very dry and itchy, and these products have really helped with this. My hair is left feeling super soft and healthy and the Starter Kit is such an easy three-step hair care routine! “.
Psoriasis sufferers are singing the praises of a brand’s products, particularly its shampoo. One user shared: “I bought this shampoo a little over a month ago and have washed my hair a few times now.
“I have psoriasis on my scalp and I have been looking all over for a shampoo that can keep it at bay/ under control, this shampoo and conditioner set, soothes my scalp, removes the flakes gently, keeps my hair shiny and my strands strong, could not recommend more highly.”
Another customer was left speechless by the transformation in their hair after using the brand’s shampoo. They said: “I am lost for words,” marvelling at ‘how much change’ they have seen in their hair.
“I’ve only used the products for 2 days, I am on the verge of tears with just how confident I feel now and to be able to put my hair up without loads of dandruff, the best feeling, the first time in my life, [I’ve] finally found a product that does exactly as it says.”
Echoing these sentiments, one satisfied Straand fan labelled it a ‘game changer’, commenting: “Total game changer! I have been struggling with bad dandruff for over a year. Couldn’t go 3 days without washing my hair and having an itching scalp,. The first week of using Straand my scalp felt amazing, no more flaky, itchy, oily scalp! “
However, not everyone was pleased with the results. One unhappy customer found that the shampoo made their hair drier than expected, while others still experienced some flaking issues. They stated: “Flakes not completely gone but takes away some of the itch and smells nice.”
