Q: Can This product be used for cradle cap removal for 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.

Q: Is it anti-fungal, and can you use it on your face?

submitted by Patrick - 2 years ago

  • A: Yes, Head & Shoulders shampoo is often considered anti-fungal due to its active ingredient, pyrithione zinc. Pyrithione zinc helps reduce flaking and itchiness associated with dandruff, so it can be categorized as an anti-fungal treatment in that context. This ingredient is effective against fungi and bacteria, making it particularly useful for treating dandruff and scalp conditions. Using Head & Shoulders shampoo on the face is generally not recommended. While the shampoo is formulated to treat scalp issues like dandruff, it may contain ingredients that could be harsh or irritating for facial skin, which is typically more sensitive than the scalp.

    Not for My Scalp

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Head and Shoulders Shampoo used to be my go to as a teenager struggling with dandruff. I appreciate the clean ingredients and nostalgic scent, but unfortunately it doesn't really help with my dandruff or itchiness. It doesn't leave any residue on my hair and I didn't notice that it left it particularly dry. It does a good job as a shampoo and may be more helpful for people with different causes for their dandruff.

    Leaves your hair smelling good and clean

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You kind of need a lot to make more suds. Overall it cleans your hair good. It also smells really good as well. Didn’t leave your hair greasy or anything. Left your hair clean. Texture is the same as any other shampoo. But smells great. Would buy another one.

    Clean, fresh, and easy for everyday use

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo and I like how fresh and clean my scalp feels after washing. It lathers well, rinses out easily, and doesn’t leave my hair feeling heavy. I also like that it’s simple enough for everyday use. The scent is fresh without being too overwhelming. Overall, it’s a good everyday shampoo for keeping my scalp feeling clean and refreshed.

    New Reformulation Breaks me out

    I have been using head and shoulders two in one shampoo for years. It has been my holy Grail for so long. I have hyper sensitive scalp and skin. It’s to the point where the majority of the shampoos that I have tried or even skin care that I try typically breaks me out. I went to the store the other day to purchase my favorite shampoo and found that there has been a reformulation. My gut instinct was not to purchase, but since I’ve been using this shampoo/conditioner for so long and trust the brand, I decided I would give it a chance. Unfortunately, this was a very big mistake. Immediately after my first use my scalp felt a bit tingly. A couple hours into the day I noticed that I was starting to break out on my scalp. My heart dropped to my stomach. I decided to give it a fair chance and use it again. The next day, I tried it again to give it a fair shot. Unfortunately my suspicion was correct later on in the evening. I felt two more bumps on my head that felt like a breakout and were itchy. This is the only thing I have changed in my routine. So I have to do that. This new reformation is the source of my new breakouts. It’s such a shame that this incredible product has been reformulated. I will say that I also found that my hair didn’t feel as soft and as nice as it did with the old formulation. In a way it almost felt a slight bit dryer. I compared my new bottle to my old one and there are some new ingredients and differences in the ingredient list. I’m gonna have to go out of my way to now find as many of the old formulations as I possibly can and purchase them before I find another shampoo brand that works for me. Head and shoulders thank you so much for the years of amazing product. I loved your product so much. Unfortunately, I will be moving on trying to find a different brand and product. I’m hoping that this reformation works for plenty of other people. Unfortunately, for me, this was not the case.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 11 days ago
    We’re truly sorry to hear this reformulated version of Classic Clean 2-in-1 caused such an unexpected reaction, especially since it's been your trusted go-to for years, Jean. We can understand how disappointing it must have been to find a product that worked so well for your sensitive scalp, only to experience bumps, itching, and dryness after the change. Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. In August 2026, Classic Clean got a new look and an improved formula with HydraZinc Complex. Please know that we thoroughly evaluate all our products to ensure they're safe when used as directed. Still, we recognize that some people may have personal sensitivities and cannot tolerate a particular ingredient or formulation. If you haven’t already, we recommend discontinuing use. To ensure your comments get the attention they deserve, please call us at (800) 723-9569 when you have a moment.

    Scalp Freshness

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was awesome having this product, especially because I felt a little bit up in my scalp, and that really helped me remove all of it into the freshness and it feels my hair is softer and healthier. I’ve always loved to head and shoulders.
