  • Stop! Don't buy it.
  • If you have damaged or fine hair, this IS NOT the product for you. The Shea Moisture line has overall - good products. But, either the balck soap or some other ingredient in this product will turn your hair into MUSH. ... see more

I found out about this shampoo from another website. It has caused a significant decrease in my scalp itch, which no other remedy has done. I plan on trying the Purification Masque next. One thing that surprised me about this shampoo is that it has significantly faded some hyperpigmentation on my face. I mean, within days of using it. I have not tried the black soap bar, but I tried a black soap face wash and a black soap body wash, and neither faded the spots like the shampoo has. So, I' m using the shampoo for both!

There is nothing wrong with this product. For all of those who are saying it stripped their hair of moisture and left it dry. It is suppose too!! Black soap clarifies the hair, you're suppose to use it when you have a product build up and your hair is extremely dirty. If you use this shampoo follow up with a moisture retention shampoo and a deep conditioner. Overall a good product if you know how to use it right!

I did the big chop 1.5 weeks ago and this was the shampoo I bought to help me with my new short natural style. This shampoo is moisturizing and does not strip my hair. A little goes a long way because it is thick but luxurious. I use this 2-3 times a week and co-wash with the matching conditioner.

I suffer with seborrheic dermatitis, a form of eczema/psoriasis, and while this shampoo cleans my hair pretty well, it doesn't do much for my scalp. I've actually noticed that it dries out and flakes even more after using it. It does not lather if used for the initial shampoo but it does well for the second wash. I've tried many dandruff shampoos and have found better. I would not recommend this for anyone with serious dry scalp issues. I did find that it worked well on my daughter who has a li ghter case of dandruff.

I have - I mean had really bad dandruff. I used this and the conditioner and my dandruff is almost all the way gone after one use. The conditiner made my hair soft and manageable. The Shampoo is really thick but once you get use to it you learn how to work with it. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone suffering with dandruff.

This shampoo does really deep clean your hair, but does not strip it. It is a non-sulfate shampoo. As I am an African American woman, non sulfate shampoos are important to the health of our hair. I also like the smell. I will definitely buy again as this shampoo is one of my staples.

Have 4a/b hair. my scalp is VERY itchy and dry. when i first used this it stripped my hair so bad that it was hard and matted and i couldnt comb it. i was so scared. i had to slather my hair with a creamy conditioner but soften my hair. but i did notice that my scalp was very clean and it controlled the itching. SOOOOO, i now use it once a month as a clarifying shampoo and wash only ONE time with my hair in 4 sections. works like a charm.

I have super dry hair, thats always itchy. I was constantly scratching and when I did I could see flakes fall. That already sucked, but on top of all that I have hair that stinks, after two days of not washing it. Retaining length and moisture...forget aboutit. This product totally revolutionized my life, I am so glad I compulsively bought it. After the first use I had curls w/o having to use gel, after the first two days- my head stopped itching all the time, and after the first two weeks I c an now get second and third day hair after a wash and go.....any longer than that and my bf will say it smells so its not a miracle worker

I bought this product because I have had success with other hair products from the Shea Moisture line and because I have extremely bad eczema and dry scalp. As far as this improving the condition of my scalp, I will say that it did help, just not to the degree that I wanted it to. I wash my hair weekly, and I've noticed that after using this shampoo (along with the matching Balancing Conditioner), my scalp does tend to flake and itch less. With other shampoos, my scalp would flake and itch 2-3 days after washing and with this product, I don't have flakes or serious itchiness for at least 5 days after washing. However, the reason that I really like this product is because it leaves my hair incredibly soft, detangled, and manageable. I can actually finger comb my hair in the shower while this shampoo is in my hair. I've never had that experience with any shampoo. My hair is never dry or brittle after use of this product. With that said, I may buy this product again. If not, I plan to try the Shea Moisture Curl Controlling Shampoo (from the Coconut and Hibiscus line) and see which of the two I like best. Overall this is a nice product with good results so I recommend it!
