Q: Can This product be used for cradle cap removal on a baby

submitted by Kgrover13 - 2 years ago
  • A: We do not recommend using adult shampoos on infants, as their formulas may contain ingredients that could irritate your baby's sensitive skin. For cradle cap, we suggest consulting your pediatrician for safe and effective treatment options tailored to your little one’s needs. Your baby's comfort and safety are our top priority.

    Terrible New Formula

    Absolutely horrible after recent reformulation! My hair is left dry, frizzy and super lifeless after using this shampoo. I also had to visit the dermatologist for very dry and flaky scalp while using it. I go to multiple stores now looking to see if they have the old version of this shampoo and buy all of their stock. Im done with Head & Shoulders after I finish those bottles.

    The Scent is incredible!

    1st, I love the scent, it has a mixture of clean and very sweet almond, it's great! This Almond Daily Shampoo helped heal and hydrate my dry scalp alot, especially now in winter. It also leaves my hair hydrated and looking fuller, that's also a bonus. This shampoo to me is more of a hydrating treatment but it cleans well. It doesn't leave that stripped feeling, it will leave a silky feeling when rinsed and that's the purpose of this product treating dryness throughout. Highly recommend this!

    Horrible.

    It’s so bad. I used hair oil before washing my hair with this shampoo and it washed out nothing. It made my hair look very oily when I dried it. It also gave me even more dandruff. Would not recommend if you want a product that removes dandruff and cleans good.

    From Customer Care team
    Thank you for your feedback on Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Your report is unexpected and we are sharing your comments with the rest of our team. As you likely already know, hair can feel dirty, oily, or greasy if the product used is more moisturizing than what is needed for your hair’s texture or condition. We would recommend using a less moisturizing shampoo and on occasion using a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup to restore hair cleanliness. We’d also like to let you know that none of our products can cause dandruff or make it worse. Some things that can cause dandruff are changes in diet, hormonal changes, stress, and changing your hairstyle without changing your shampoo. Also, a flaky, itchy scalp may not always be dandruff. Flaking could be residue from a build-up of hairsprays or other grooming products. If you have a dry, itchy, flaking scalp that does not improve after using anti-dandruff shampoo/conditioner for six weeks you should speak to your doctor. Please feel free to call us at (800) 723-9569 or email us through our Contact Us page for further assistance.

    Product Quality Changed

    I’m using this product more than 5 years. It gives me a good result. But recently purchased one has no same quality as before. Before shampoo was thick now it is loose and looks like normal shampoo. It’s doesn’t work like previous dandruff are coming back soon after using.

    horrible product

    leaves a horrible residue on the hair even after washing twice so it doesn't do it's job which is WASHING the hair, the scalp remains oily and the feeling is gross. DON"T BUY!

    Smells like a wet dog

    I’m not a big fan of this. It smells like wet dog and leaves my hair dry and feeling like it has residue on it. It doesn’t lather up very well no matter how many times I wash and it never feels like it’s rinsed out completely. I end up using my husbands head and shoulders with old spice. It’s smells better, rinses out better and leaves my hair feeling better.

    I liked how it made my scalp feel after using it. But my dandruff kept coming back. In all, I wouldn’t use it again anytime soon.

    Great shampoo, horrible bottle

    I love this shampoo, but the bottle hurts my nails, so today I tried opening it with the side of my thumb, AND I CUT MY THUMB BC ITS SO SHARP. I’m not sure why this is the bottle design they use, but that takes a 5 star rating down to a 1 when I have to put a bandaid on after showering because it’s so difficult to open.

    This shampoo helped with my husbands dry scalp. This contains almond oil to sooth dry scalps. This shampoo lathers really nice and rinses off clean. The scent was quite soothing and not overwhelming. I would repurchase this product and do recommend.

    This product was great

    This product was great for a flakey and dry scalp. I noticed a difference within the first three washes and it doesn't leave a residue like some other shampoos do. I used this with the conditioner and it left me feeling clean and refreshed.

    This is a great

    This is a great moisturizing shampoo if you have dandruff, but a lot of people use H&S and don't have dandruff. This shampoo smells good and lathers well. It does have sulfates and does a great job of cleansing the scalp of oils. I probably won't buy again since I've learned that it's something else causing my flaky scalp.

    Ingredient Separaton

    Unfortunately I didn't realize that product had to be "shaken" before use. First use I saw that it was clear thinking an odd change to the shampoo. Alas, reading the directions, shaking, produced the familiar white shampoo. As a long time user of H&S I've never shaken a bottle; now I'll break out the glasses and read beforehand. I assume it's the almond oil that allows separation(?). Anyway I've found H&S to be a very good product!

    Only thing that worked for husband's dry scalp

    This is the only thing that worked for my husband’s hair. He has a dry flaky scalp that normal dandruff products never worked on. Now this and the conditioner are the only products he uses, it has gotten rid of ALL the flakes, for years now. He has naturally thick, dry hair, so it works. However, I cannot use this product on my hair as it leaves a greasy residue. My hair is more fine.

    This shampoo got rid

    This shampoo got rid of scalp itchiness and dandruff in 3 washes. It lathers up lots and does not have an overpowering smell. My hair has not felt any drier so far with it. Overall I am very satisfied with this product.
