Hi weirdos,
Oway (organic way) has arrived in South Africa this May with a range of haircare products boasting some bold promises. For starters, it’s the first line with biodynamic, organic and fair trade ingredients to benefit your hair and scalp. Oway bases this production on stringent and ethical production principles making it the purest and natural haircare product line available today.
Oway uses natural and organic raw materials obtained through ethical means and is composed via green chemistry. Expect to find ingredients such as essential oils and pure micronized plants from biodynamic farming; the principle of harvesting ingredients with zero chemical use which maintains soil fertility.
The story of Oway stems from the small farm Ortofficina on the hills of Bologna in Italy. This farm specialises in medicinal herbs grown with biodynamic methods giving it a deep bond with nature. As a result, there’s a strong focus on caring for the soil by keeping it pure and free of pesticides. The benefit of this is seen in the quality of the ingredients which is what gives the product line its superlative quality.
This falls in line with the brand’s stringent way of doing things. Each ingredient that goes into Oway’s products are carefully studied to cater for the scalp and hair so that the final product can be prescribed by hair stylists in a professional salon environment. Only the most effective active ingredients and extracts are selected for each formulation in order to pursue a healthy and positive way of life. Oway is recognized by PETA Cruelty-free in the United States. They are also certified organic.
Oway prides itself in being a holistic brand even through the production phase. Formulations are kept in amber glass and packed into aluminium boxes to ensure that the ingredients are well-preserved. The packaging can also be recycled continuously as Oway recommends its customers to do or reuse it for something else.
I have been using the Oway Frequent use hair and scalp bath for a few weeks now and my hair is loving it. It does not foam up much like other shampoos so I feel two pumps are necessary but it is effective yet gentle. It leaves my hair soft, silky and moisturised. I absolutely love the citrus scent this shampoo has.
Oway’s Frequent use hair and scalp bath active ingredients:
Biodynamic lemon – keeps hair shiny.
Organic white tea – anti-aging and protects.
Ethically-produced Anisata – antiseptic and antibacterial.
I have noticed my scalp does not itch at all using this shampoo like it normally does. It’s pH 5.5 – 6.5 and it suits even the most sensitive scalp types. This cost R360 for 240ml. It is beautifully packaged in a glass brown bottle with a pump for convenience.
I used the shampoo in conjunction with the Oway Frequent use conditioner. The conditioner is moisturising but not too rich and helps with detangling. I leave it in for about 3 minutes and it does a great job of enriching my hair with the same active ingredients as the shampoo. Both products are paraben, petrolatum, synthentic fragrance, PEGS, OG & BBG, EDTA and artificial colorant free. No nasties!
The Oway frequent use conditioner costs R375 for 240ml. You can find them at Sorbet Drybar’s and Sorbet Man stores. They have range for Curly hair types and men too! To find out more about Oway, check them out here.

Love that Oway is not only good for you, but the environment too. Sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients are so important. I find that my hair tends to get dry and lacklustre at times. I also battle with a flaky scalp. I would LOVE to win these gorgeous products to see how they can help my hair go from drab to FAB! 🙂
Hi Miss Dhanusha,

I struggle with dull looking hair and hair loss
This product looks and sounds amazing! I suffer with severe hair loss and my hair is dry, brittle and lifeless. I’ve tried many hair loss shampoos but it never helps, it actually makes it worse. I really want to start using natural products on my hair. Not only is it good for our hair, but it’s also good for the environment!! I want voluminous and shiny hair and I hope this shampoo could bring ‘life’ back into my hair.
Love your insta feed! Also keep up the good work on your YouTube account!

My struggle is frizz and my hair doesnt feel soft after a good wash.. my hair falls alot …
Loving that it’s safe for me and the environment, its about time people start supporting these brands, I also love the lemon ingredient.
My struggle is definitely oily hair, if I set it once it becomes oily within hours! So sad, also I have product build up that makes it difficult to have bouncy, voluminous and shiny hair.
Been one of your first YouTube supporters!
