Doesn't smell nice, harsher than H&S Classic Clean

I prefer fragrance free products but figured Euclytus would be nice. It doesn't smell nice and hair felt stripped when rinshing. Will stick with H&S Classic Clean.

It burns!

The "cooling sensation" listed on the bottle is more like a burning sensation. My hair feels great after using it, but I was in pain the entire time I washed my hair.
1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 10 months ago
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Head and Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care. We're sorry to hear that the cooling sensation wasn't to your liking. Please know that we strive for all our consumers to have the best experience possible, and we regret that this wasn’t yours. Rest assured, we'll pass your feedback along to our Health and Safety Team, as well as the rest of our Head and Shoulders team. It’s important to mention that these products contain menthol to deliver a cooling and refreshing feeling. This sensation can differ from person to person, ranging from cool to tingling or even warming, but it shouldn't be uncomfortable. If you do experience any discomfort, we recommend rinsing your scalp thoroughly with water and discontinuing use. We’re here to help further if needed. At your convenience, please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or email us via the Contact Us page.

Tried and did not realize how drying it was.

This was incredibly drying for my 4c hair. I can see using this like every couple months if there's product build up for my hair but it's a hard pass for weekly washings for me.
1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 1 year ago
Thank you for leaving this review on our Head and Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care Shampoo. We're sorry to hear your hair felt dry while using this. Hair can look frizzy or dry if it is not conditioned enough. Tips to help with dryness: Try a richer conditioner. Try using a conditioning treatment 2 or 3 times a week. Leave the conditioner on for up to 5 minutes. Use more conditioner on the ends of your hair, which does not get enough of the natural oils from your scalp. Try using a leave-in conditioner instead of one you rinse out. We would like to learn more about this and share this experience with our team. When you have time please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or send an email through our Contact Us page.

Strong smell

Purchased Head and Shoulders many times, Target did not have the normal combo I get, so I tried this combo. The smell was very strong and burns my eyes from the stong smell. It works for getting rid of itchy scalp and dandruff, but the smell can be overbearing. Will not be getting this combo again.

Garbage shampoo makes itching worse

I have inflamed scalp from hormonal changes related to pregnancy. My scalp is also itchy, and I am shedding a lot. I tried this shampoo and it made my ITCH WORSE. This resulted in even more shedding. This is complete garbage.

AMAZING

I absolutely love this shampoo and I’m never going back to any other brand. For years I’ve struggled with dandruff and couldn’t for the LIFE of me figure out what was wrong. I switched between every brand you could think of and none have come this close. My scalp hasn’t been this healthy and patch free in a long time. I tried putting oil on my scalp and leaving it overnight, hair masks, all natural shampoos, etc but nothing worked. If you have the same struggles I HIGHLY recommend this shampoo.

Changed formula - ugh

This has been my go to for years. Plus, was the best shampoo for dandruff and fine hair. I’m undecided about it now, my hair doesn’t feel quite as clean as it did before the formula changed. Not sure if I grabbed a bottle while they were playing with the new formula, but I’ve had to throw away a bottle because my hair looked as if I washed it in motor oil. Why ruin a great shampoo?!?

Same situation as the other one, it can clean my hair pretty good but on the dry side, so I would say if it can make the product more moisture then it would be good to buy it again, otherwise I would go back to buy

Just so, so. I purchased this thinking it would help to heal my dry scalp due to dying every 2 months, (aging hair, lots of grays). It was just ok. It seemed to actually dry my hair out somewhat.

This shampoo did not work for me. I found that it made my scalp more flaky and I did not like the smell of it
1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 4 years ago
We are sorry you haven't experienced relief. We know this is frustrating and we want to help. Dandruff and itching is caused by a microbe on the scalp. Everyone has this microbe but about half of us have a sensitivity to it, which causes irritation, flaking and redness. It's very important to use Head & Shoulders a minimum of 2 days a week, for at least 6 weeks. For maximum results, use it every time you shampoo. We will report your experience to the Head & Shoulders team. We would like to talk with you about your experience. Can you please call us at 1-800-723-9569 so we can continue this conversation?

I would say it’s decent. It’s good for the scalp maybe not for really oily scalps but it doesn’t do justice for my hair. It’s not something that makes my hair look shiny and healthy. I’m not 100% satisfied with it.
