Q: What conditioner goes with this?

submitted by KaleidoscopeEyes8 - 2 months ago
  • A: Our Head and Shoulders BARE collection does not have a conditioner quite yet. However, users can use an anti-dandruff conditioner choice that contains an active ingredient, like zinc pyrithione, that is found in all Head & Shoulders conditioners. Head & Shoulders offers a variety of conditioner options to best suit the hair and scalp needs of the user – such as Head & Shoulders Supreme Detox and Hydrate conditioner.

    A few weeks ago, I discovered that the tiny little grains in my hair that I've had my whole life are dandruff. The dermatologist said it's mild and recommended Head and Shoulders and that'd I'd be fine. I have wavy hair, so I stick to sulfate-free products and was happy to see this option. It took me 3 weeks, but I finally put together that this was causing hair loss - including the chunk of about 45 strands that came out togeter while showering today. It also dries my hair out a ton and makes it very frizzy. I will not be continuing my use of this product, though I'm not sure where to go from here.

    Thank you for reaching out about our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. It disappoints us greatly to hear that you experienced some hair loss and that your hair was left feeling dry and frizzy. That's definitely not the kind of news we want to hear from any of our consumers and we understand how devastating this may be. We appreciate your concern and want to assure you that our hair care products do not cause or speed up hair loss. It's important to know that losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is considered normal. A great deal of work has gone into the development and testing of all our products to ensure they are safe for use. Additionally, we have extensive quality controls in place and our products are used by millions of people every year. Hair loss is normal and is a continuous process. Hair goes through a natural cycle of growth where each hair grows long, falls out, and is replaced by a new hair. If you are noticing a significant amount of hair loss, we recommend speaking to your doctor. Also, hair being dry and frizzy is usually a sign of it not being conditioned well enough. For a better experience you may consider using a rich conditioner after you shampoo and you may want to consider using a conditioning treatment to help with any excess dryness. We'd like to assist you further. When you have the time, please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or send us an email through our Contact Us Page.

    It did seem to help my scalp but it seriously killed my waves/curls. The light scent was tolerable. Rich lather. Not sure if I'll but it again. Ended up using some of it as body wash.

    Felicia - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Wanted to like this, but it makes my hair feel like it's coated with something. It cleans my hair, but my hair feels like I added styling product to it. Used it without a conditioner. Didn't make my hair feel dry. Helped some with my dandruff and dry scalp, but hasn't eliminated either. Scent isn't very pleasant. Doesn't smell clean though. Smells like unpleasant, annoying perfume/soap. I'll stick with Head & Shoulders 2 in 1. I do like the eco bottle, this shampoo isn't for me. I have thick, short hair. People with fine, thin hair would probably not like having their hair feel coated and weighed down by whatever chemical makes this shampoo cling to your hair.

    My husband always uses head and shoulders or else his head gets itchy. This one works well for him. I like that the ingredients are cleaner than the traditional head and shoulder and that the packaging is less plastic.

    1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 7 months ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience with our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. While we are glad that you originally loved the product, it does sadden us to hear that your dandruff seemed to become worse. Please know that this isn't the kind of experience we expect any of our consumers to have and we understand how it can be upsetting. We want to assure you that none of our products can cause dandruff or make it worse. Causes of dandruff include changes in your diet, hormonal changes, stress, and more. To effectively control symptoms, it's crucial to use Head & Shoulders a minimum of 2 days a week for at least 6 weeks. For optimal results, we recommend using it every time you shampoo. It's important to continue using the product even after your symptoms have disappeared to ensure a dandruff and itch-free scalp. If you have a dry, itchy, flaking scalp, that does not improve after using an anti-dandruff shampoo or conditioner after 6 weeks, you may want to speak to your doctor. We'd like to gather more information so we can better assist you. Please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or send us an email through our Contact Us Page so we may do so.

    Bill in Savage - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The “less plastic” bit makes the bottle far too easy to squeeze, which pops open the top at the wrong times. Our first bottle was open in the grocery bag when we got home, creating a huge mess on the other items in the same bag. The other items were very light (band aids) so no significant weight on the bottle. As a shampoo it leaves hair very dry and flyaway. Won’t buy again.

    Jaxx - 11 months ago
    As H&S tries to come up with a "clean" shampoo, they lack the obvious. Please try harder when brainstorming for a so called non-toxic shampoo. This shampoo is far from being clean. They shoud get rid off all the ingredients under [inactive ingredients]. H&S should also consider changing the name from PURE CLEAN to PURE LIES.

    This product made my scalp 100x itchier. I feel it makes my dandruff worse. It also leaves a residue and makes my hair super tangled. It feels like I put on gel/ mousse. Do not recommend. Picture below.. I just washed it last night!
    1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 11 months ago
    Thank you for getting in touch and sharing your experience with our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. We're deeply sorry to hear that your scalp became much itchier, that your dandruff seemed to get worse, that there was a residue left behind and that your hair also became tangled. This truly isn't the kind of experience we want any of our consumers to have and we understand how frustrating this can be. We also want you to know that we understand your concerns but please know that none of our products can cause dandruff or make it worse. Still, we want your comments to get the attention they deserve. To do so, we'd like to collect some additional information. Be assured that the details you provide will be shared with both our Safety Team as well as the rest of our Head and Shoulders. Safety is our top priority and all of our products have been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. While all our ingredients are thoroughly evaluated to be safe and effective when used as directed, we recognize some people may have personal sensitivities and cannot tolerate a particular ingredient or formulation. We do recommend discontinuing the use of the product if you haven’t already but please keep it on hand in the event we may need to retrieve it. To remove any kind of residue we recommend washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo. As you may now, tangled hair is very common and can be made worse by combing or brushing the hair while it's wet. To detangle your hair apply a conditioner directly to dry, tangled hair, and leave it on for several minutes. With a fine-toothed comb, gently comb your hair through, starting at the ends and inching up to the roots. We would appreciate it if you would call us at (800) 723-9569 or email us through our Contact Us Page so we can assist you further.

    Thank you for your feedback on our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. We're truly sorry to hear that your hair dried out and became frizzy. This isn't the kind of experience we want you to have and we are reporting this to the rest of our team. In the meantime, we've found that hair can be dry if it's not conditioned well enough. The product you used may not be the right version for your hair type and we recommend using a conditioner with a higher conditioning level. You could also try using a conditioning treatment, 2 or 3 days out of the week.
