The shampoo is insane!!! It smells like a spa and I didn’t even use conditioner after because my hair was so soft. Just sprayed on my leave in conditioner and my hair felt like it does at the salon post wash and it feels so clean. Good work!
Obsessed! After the first wash, it felt so good on my scalp and hair, it washed my dirty hair so well and it smells nice!!!! Big fan so far!!
Love the packaging. Clean, minimalistic. I’m going to sell the sh*t out of this Wash.
I just tried it for the first time and such a wonderful experience!
Oh, already was letting that freak flag fly in the shower this AM! Killer stuff, fellas!
Tried out the hair wash this morning. It’s soooooo good. I knew it would work really well based, but I was shocked at just how perfect it actually performed.
I believe the company has gone out and achieved exactly what their mission statement was. To create an affordable, sustainable, and quality product. I literally, almost instantly, fell in love with their products and their packaging. You can tell they care about quality and their customers having a good experience with their products, all the way down to packaging and everything that comes with it. I use their glacial clay pomade every day and I cannot even compare it to any other products I have used in the past. 10/10 Reccomend.
I’ve been really impressed with The Wash. It’s gentle on my skin, smells clean without being overpowering, and actually feels like it's made with thoughtful, sustainable ingredients. A little goes a long way, and I appreciate that it doesn’t leave any residue—just a fresh, balanced feeling. Highland is delivering on its mission, and I’m happy to support a brand that cares about both quality and the planet.
The pomade is some of the best I have used. As my family has grown my wife and I have been looking for more natural and sustainable products to use on our daily routines. Some things we get are just mediocre at best. But this pomade ticks all the boxes for me. It holds my hair in place all day has a low shine and it smells good. This is a A++ product in my opinion. Thank you for making this.
I've wanted a hair product that came in a recyclable metal container for a minute. I was happy to try this and after a few weeks I can say that I will continue to use this. The clay gives my hair a nice hold. It has been holding its shape and overall I'm very pleased.
It works very well, smells good unlike other products and leaves my hair feeling nice. Great that its sustainably made as well.
I am impressed with all the Highland products I have been using. The Wash is another sold addition. I am glad to support companies that have a higher and broader vision, even with something arguably mundane as keeping yourself clean. I look forward to seeing what else is in the future!
Fantastic!!! When I needed assistance, staff was responsive, helpful, and friendly.
I had an issue with shipping (which was my fault) and they went out of their way to correct the situation. I've tried the cream and the pomade, they're both awesome.
I have medium length, thick, curly hair. After a couple weeks of using the glacial cream and pomade together, have really liked the control they give without feeling like my hair is full of sticky product all day. My package initially never arrived, but after reaching out they sent out a new one right away no questions asked.
I absolutely love this brand. My husband and I both use the pomade and the cream. The cream controls my frizz and gives my waves extra life with hot humid Florida weather. Customer service is also on point, extremely helpful when my package was not delivered. Definitely purchasing more and recommending to my whole village!
The product is great. Leaves my hair malleable, not sticky, but with enough hold to keep to keep structure. Terrific customer service.
Not only is the product as advertised, the company is amazing to deal with. I had an issue with my order and they were prompt with their response and easily solved the issue. Costumer service is stellar!!
Ben and the company were amazing at helping me get my order completed. No questions asked, just results!
Great function and great ingredients. Customer service was able to tell me exactly what was in it!
The Glacial Cream is phenomenal! Works better than anything else I have ever tried! Customer service is also top shelf! I highly recommend this product and company.
