Any one thinking of trying Scalpure?

I read the article and then checked their website. No full ingredient listing. Looks interesting but I am skeptical. But would love to think it might work.

In regards to Vagazzling: They just want to get into the goods without worrying about getting scratched up by fake crystals. ~spring1onu~

Just wanted to let you know my experience. I got Scalpure today, followed the instructions to a 'T', and I am seriously considering sending it back.
First off, it made my scalp itch like crazy, and I never have that problem with any other products.
Second, it was gritty-feeling in my hair. I could get past that, if it actually did what it says it will.
Third, after I rinsed, shampooed (non-sulfate) and conditioned (twice, no protein formulas), my hair felt thick, but not a nice healthy thick feeling. It felt very dry and straw-like, even with a moisturizing conditioner still in it.
Lastly, when I tried to detangle my wet hair, I had a lot of fall-out in my detangler comb. My hair feels like it's coated with rubber cement. It's sticking together and it won't stay detangled. I combed thru it as best I could, and am waiting for it to dry. It's all clumpy at the roots and just feels gross.
I was hoping for better results, since I make a scalp oil using some of the same ingredients listed on the jar, only mine is an actual oil that has previously helped regrow my hair after I had an extreme shedding phase. I'm wondering if the calcium bentonite is what my hair is not agreeing with.
The ingredient listing is as follows:
Purified spring water, Calcium Bentonite, Japanese Honeysuckle Flower extract, Peppermint oil, Tea Tree oil, Cedarwood oil, Organic sage extract, Organic Burdock root extract, Mauka oil, Jojoba oil.

Follow up:
After my hair dried, it still felt sticky and gross. The mid-lengths and ends were matted and tangled within a few hours of air-drying, and it still felt like it had a rubbery, sticky coating. No exaggeration. I had to shampoo twice with Neutrogena anti-residue formula. Gonna have to do a deep-moisture treatment as well. My hair (long, baby-fine waves/curls) is sensitive to protein, and even though scalpure has no proteins listed in the ingredients, I ended up with the same awful results as if it was full of them.
I recommend Excelsior Millenia Mud instead. Far cheaper than this stuff, and does a much better job of plumping the hair shaft, leaving it silky and shiny, and rids the scalp and hair of residue without stripping or protein, if proteins are an issue for you.
