Why I'm Not Sold on Solomeya - My Honest Review

Hello everyone!

I'm always on the lookout for a new hairbrush that's going to make a splash, and this year it's Solomeya's turn. I have to admit, I bought it on a whim because it's just so unique and it's got that lovely scented thing going on.

Product description from the manufacturer:

Massaging hairbrushes are suitable for any type of hair, including extensions or severely damaged hair. It not only detangles gently but also provides a massaging effect thanks to its flexible design. The hairbrush has a pleasant, subtle strawberry scent! The entire body of the hairbrush and teeth are easy to clean, and the unusual design reduces drying time with a hair dryer. The material is heat-resistant. Suitable for sensitive scalps. The hairbrush is made from eco-friendly biodegradable materials.I opted for the strawberry fragrance.

Where I bought it. I picked it up from Golden Apple online store.Price. At the time of purchase, it was 430 rubles, and now it's 500 rubles. Either way, it's a pretty affordable price point.

Packaging and appearance.

The hairbrush came in its branded box.

The hairbrush wasn't fully enclosed in the box, but it didn't get damaged during shipping.There's a Russian-language sticker on the plastic packaging.

My impressions.

Let's start with the hairbrush's design. It's really unique and has this sweet, feminine vibe going on.

It's got this really cool, labyrinthine design on the teeth, which is pretty interesting. The middle part of the hairbrush is flexible, so it bends.

I have to say, it's a bit bulky, so I wouldn't take it with me on a trip. The teeth are made of plastic and don't have those little balls on the end. I've gotta say, the scent of this comb is amazing - it smells like strawberry! It's such a mood booster. I've been using this comb for over three months now, and while the scent is still there, it's not as strong as it was when I first got it.

A little bit about my hair and scalp.My scalp is super sensitive and prone to issues. My hair is fluffy, porous, and has been bleached multiple times - it's a real pain to deal with.

So, the first thing that really bothered me was how the teeth of the comb scrape against my scalp. It feels like I'm getting a scalp shave! I'm really not a fan of using Solomeya on my scalp - it's just too harsh. I know some people might like the massaging effect, but I haven't noticed any difference in hair growth. Plus, I prefer a gentler comb.But for the length, the teeth feel kinda weak.

The comb gets stuck in my hair.

I also noticed that it gives me static - maybe that's just because of my porous hair. You could use it for styling, but I think it's only good for setting the roots in place. I'd say it's better suited for natural hair, but my daughter didn't like it either.Since I take care of my hair in multiple ways, I decided to see how it would work on damp hair. Apparently, masks work better when you comb through your hair and get it oxygenated.

Solomeya does a decent job on wet hair, but it's not perfect - there's still a feeling of incomplete combing.I'm not impressed with the product, to be honest. I've given it multiple chances, but I just can't bring myself to love it.

I think the idea is interesting - it's something new and different. But, if I'm being honest, you can make any comb smell nice with a few drops of your favorite essential oil.

Overall, it's not for me.

I've been using I Love my Hair for years now, and I'm actually surprised it's not more popular.

Thanks for tuning in, though!
