I’ve been using Head & Shoulders BARE Minimal Ingredients Shampoo, and it has been perfect for my sensitive scalp. The cooling sensation it provides is so soothing. I’m always concerned about using a new shampoo on my color-treated hair, but it left my hair looking smooth and healthy without dulling my blonde color. I love that it delivers both relief from itching and excellent hair care. Plus, it's free from unnecessary additives, so it feels gentle and clean. My hair looks great!

You have to try to dislike it. It is very difficult to explain. After wash, it felt like your hair just been through sweat and has not been washed for days. I tried it, twice. I have to say, it’s the worst formula ever.

I love that it has minimal ingredients to irritate your scalp. I've only used it a couple times and a little goes a long way. I think people who have said it leaves their hair greasy aren't leaving it in for a couple mins. To massage it or not rinsing it out completely. It does have a lot of lagher so you do need to spend a couple mins. rinsing out to make sure it gets all out. The only thing is I would use a conditioner afterwards because it does leave hair a little dry and not soft if you don't. Of course it is a dandruff shampoo so they tend to do that in order to do their job. The regular head and shoulders stopped working for me and I wanted a minimal ingredient shampoo without sulfates and such and this is doing it for me. I will update my review in a few weeks to see how it's going. I have seb dermititis and this is helping more than anything so far it seems.

After the first few uses my scalp was feeling itchy and my curls felt stringy. But I decided to keep using it and this issues were resolved within 2 weeks of use. My dandruff significantly decreased and my curls were actually feeling and looking healthier than before after maybe 2-3 months of use. The only issue I have with this shampoo is it takes a lot of time to rinse out fully. Other than that I recommend this product!

Since using this product, my dandruff has disappeared. The bottle almost feels silicone so it's fun to squeeze the bottle. Downside is it has almost a vanilla fragrance which I prefer it was less strong.

I have seborrheic dermatitis. This shampoo has been so great for me, it stopped my flare up! For me it works as good if not better than prescription ketoconazol, but it's not as drying! I have wavy, 2C/3A hair, and i also bleach it so it can get dry. This is so hydrating it really helps my waves!! My scalp has not been itchy, it smells good and I'm happy with it so far! I do use another shampoo before this sometimes as a clarifying shampoo and i do not have a problem with this feeling greasy on my hair. Maybe bc my hair actually needs the hydration. If you have thin hair high porosity hair maybe this could weight your hair down so keep it in mind.

Leaves hair oily and greasy
1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 3 months ago
Thank you for getting in touch about our Head and Shoulders Soothing Hydration Shampoo. We're sorry if your hair was left feeling greasy and oily. That's not the kind of experience we want our consumers to have and you can be sure that we are reporting this to the rest of our team. To get rid of any excess product, we recommend washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo. To prevent this from happening in the future, be sure that your hair has been fully rinsed. If a shampoo, conditioner, or styling product isn't fully rinsed from your hair, it can leave the hair greasy. There's a chance too that the product was just too hydrating for your hair type. For a better experience, you may want to try using a product with less hydrating benefits and see if it makes a difference for you. Please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or send us an email through our Contact Us Page so we can better assist you.

Leaves my hair disgusting after the shower. I can feel it even before I get out that my hair isn’t clean. It is greasy within hours of showering. The smell is nice, I love the eco packaging and the concept. The price is very high considering it doesn’t work. Too bad it makes my hair worse after showering than when I got in. Back to the regular sulfate free Head and Shoulders.

For years, I’ve used the og Heand and Shoulders. I dislike pretty much all drugstore shampoos, because after a while, itchy and dry scalps just take over. My best friend recommended this one evening we were shopping at target, so I took a chance. So far, I really like it! Not overly drying, I don’t have lots of flakes, and I feel like it cleans the oil/product from my hair when I wash it. If you’re curious to know if you can switch, I was able to!

Doesn’t get rid of dandruff at all. I normally use the almond one because I have a dry scalp and get dandruff if I discontinue using it, so I thought I’d try this one and it still left me with a very dry scalp.. I’m going to switch back to the Head & Shoulders Almond one.

I used the Clean formula. Borrowed it from my daughter just hoping to clarify my curly hair. I usually use several products that are specifically for hydrating and moisturizing curly and frizzy hair but then my hair starts looking weighed down and dull. After rinsing out the shampoo my hair felt noticeably smoother than usual. I followed with my regular conditioner and that rinsed out even smoother. For my hair type Im always looking for the most slip when my hair is wet because then I have a good curl day. Needless to say my curls haven't looked this good in a long time, even though I kept trying the latest new products. Definitely picking up a few bottles for myself!

I had high hopes for this product, I have dry, gray hair. Saw that it came in a recyclable bottle and seemed like a really good new product. This shampoo definitely didn't work for me. My hair didn't feel clean and it was really noticable after I blow dried it, but I kept an open mind. I wish I had read the reviews before buying and was happy that I did buy a different formula of Head and Shoulders that actually works for my hair.
