    Makes you lose lots of hair

    If I could, I will do a zero star. I started using this a few weeks ago, and I started noticing that I was losing a lot of hair. I noticed my husband was losing here too, and I asked my daughter and the same thing happened to her so I came to the realization that it was this shampoo

    We’re sorry to hear about your experience with Bare Pure Clean Shampoo. We can understand why you’d be concerned, especially after noticing increased hair shedding in yourself, your husband, and your daughter after using the product. We've put significant work into developing, evaluating, and testing all our products to ensure they’re safe to use as directed. We maintain an ongoing monitoring program for quality and safety. We take your report very seriously. We want to assure you that our hair care products do not cause or speed up hair loss.

    Love it - wish there was a better thicker bottle for it in a very large size with a pump! Works great - love the minimal ingredients. Best shampoo even above salon brands.

    super disappointed, made dandruff WORSE

    I wanted to love this but it IMMEDIATELY disappointed. my husband washed his hair and went to work and had comments about how much dandruff was left :( for myself even while washing my hair it didnt feel like it was cleaning as well as even typical shampoo and after I noticed MUCH more dandruff and oil. I tried to wait and see if it would get better and it hasn't. would not recommend.
    1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 6 months ago
    Thank you for getting in touch about our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. It disappoints us to hear that you and your husband didn't seem to get any relief from dandruff and that your dandruff actually seemed to get worse and your hair more oily. That's not the results we want our consumers to have and we understand that this may have been upsetting. Please know that we will be handling this with the rest of our team. In the meantime, we are happy to help. Firstly, we'd like to express that none of our hair care products can cause dandruff or make it worse. It's important to use Head and Shoulders at least twice a week and to continue using the product even when your symptoms are no longer there. Assuming you are using the recommended amount of product and rinse well, this version may be more moisture than is needed for the texture or condition of your hair and so is resulting in a oily residue. If you haven’t already, you could try using a little less to see if that helps you use the remainder of the product you have there. Also, if you normally use both a shampoo and conditioner, you could try using just the shampoo and only use conditioner every other or every third washing. When you have the time, please give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or send us an email through our Contact Us Page so we may better assist.

    Go BARE!

    We switched my husband from the regular head & shoulders to this "bare" version for the better ingredients and he loves it! Its a worthy switch for the scent, ingredients and the effectiveness.

    Doesn’t leave my hair clean as the classic clean does, going back to the basics. Leaves it feeling greasy and oily.
    1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 7 months ago
    Thank you for your feedback on Head & Shoulders Bare Pure Clean Shampoo. We appreciate your loyalty to our products. However, we are sorry to hear you did not get the desired results from your recent purchase. This is not the experience we want you to have and we appreciate your bringing it to our attention. As you likely already know, our shampoos and conditioners offer varying levels of moisturization, and this product may be more moisturizing than needed for your hair's texture and condition. If you haven't already, try using a little less product. Also, if you normally use both a shampoo and conditioner, you could try using just the shampoo and only using conditioner every other or every third wash. We also recommend occasionally using a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup and to restore hair cleanliness. Please feel fee to call us at (800) 723-9569 or reach out through our Contact Us page for further assistance.

    I wanted to like it

    I wanted to like this but it leaves my head feeling dry and therefore itchier, and also, my hair doesn’t fully feel clean. It feels like when you accidentally have hair fall into your clay face mask and you go to rinse it off but it’s just weird so you have to shower. Sorry for the analogy I just thought that weird feeling would convey.

    1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 8 months ago
    Thank you for reaching out about our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. We would like to express our deepest of apologies for your recent experience. What you've shared has been very unexpected and we're glad you brought this to us. We understand how important it is to address your worries, and we want to provide you with accurate information and reassurance. Firstly, it's important to know that losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is considered normal. Hair goes through a natural growth cycle where each hair grows, falls out, and is replaced by a new one. However, we also acknowledge that extensive hair loss can be distressing. There are various factors that can contribute to significant hair loss. If you are experiencing a extensive amount of hair loss, we recommend speaking to your doctor who can provide you with personalized guidance and explore potential causes. We want to assure you that our hair care products are safe for use and do not cause or accelerate hair loss. Also, please know that safety is our highest priority and we have made it our duty to test all of our products thoroughly, ensuring they are safe when used as directed. However, we understand that some consumers can have personal sensitivities and so aren't able to tolerate specific ingredients or formulations. We'll definitely be addressing this with our Health and Safety team. We do recommend that you discontinue from using the product if you haven't already done so. When it comes to your hair feeling a bit dry, this may be due to your hair not being properly conditioned. You may need to try a more hydrating shampoo and pairing it with a rich conditioner. We would 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.

    GREAT PRODUCT

    It helped a lot clear my dandruff up and sooth my scalp. I see some reviews saying it dried out their scalp but I reccomend on your first bottle to use it every other day or add tea tree oil to avoid the driness. Over all great product for a great price and the scent is perfect not overwhelming and clean scap feeling after every shower!

    Thank you for reaching out about our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. We're sorry if you weren't satisfied with the results you received. We have tested all of our products thoroughly so we can be sure they deliver the benefits we advertise. Your report has been unexpected but we'll be sure to share your comments with the rest of our team. As you may already know, dandruff and itching are typically caused by a specific microbe on the scalp. While everyone has this microbe, about half of us have a sensitivity to it, leading to irritation, flaking, and redness. To effectively control these symptoms, it's crucial to use Head & Shoulders a minimum of 2 days a week for at least 6 weeks. For long-term efficacy, we recommend using Head & Shoulders shampoo every time you wash your hair. It's important to continue using the product even after your symptoms have disappeared to ensure a dandruff and itch-free scalp. 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.

    Less dandruff, smells good. Great product

    Wonderful shampoo. I have definitely noticed that my dandruff has lessened since I started using this product. The coconut scent is my favorite - the orchid is a little too strong in my opinion. I also love that it uses less plastic than a lot of other shampoo bottles.
