No thanks
Great size bottles for the price but totally dried out my hair and felt like I had to shower after my shower. Won’t be repurchasing.

Great shampoo for sensitive scalp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the years my scalp has been changing and becoming more sensitive, it is not the same anymore. Therefore is one of my new fav shampoos . Aside it working with my sensitive scalp it smells great and feels sooo nice. its made from great natural ingredients and not all that bad stuff that only temporary helps. I would recommend this to everyone even if you do not have a sensitive scalp.

MEH.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's honestly whatever. I haven't read other reviews, but personally I didn't like it. It left my hair hard and stiff. It was hard to rinse out. Had it not done that, I would've rated it 5 stars. My hair didn't feel dirty or nasty after though, only reason I'm rating it 3 stars.

Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always had hard time to find a gentle shampoo for my sensitive scalp. California naturals sensitive scalp shampoo has really great results. It gently cleanse the scalp, does not strip my hair or scalp and hydrates the hair. It calms my sensitive scalp and leaves hair soft, smooth and clean. It is fragrance free and feels amazing. I'd definitely buy again.

So good and Clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm always cautious when trying new hair products, but this shampoo really impressed me! It left my scalp feeling very clean without that overly stripped or dry feeling that a lot of shampoos can cause. The formula feels gentle yet effective, and I didn't experience any irritation or reactions, which is a huge win for me. I also really appreciate that it uses cleaner ingredients, so I feel better about using it regularly. Will be added to my wash rotation

My scalp felt clean and refreshed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this California Naturals Scalp Shampoo as part of the BzzAgent sampling program, and I was really curious to try it because I have to be careful with what I use on my scalp and hair. The texture is a clear, thick gel that lathers well, so a little goes a long way. After using it, my scalp felt clean and refreshed, and it removed buildup without causing any irritation, which is really important for me. It also didn't leave my hair feeling stripped. I do feel like you definitely need to follow up with a good conditioner, especially if your hair is longer or processed, because it can feel a bit dry on its own. I paired it with a California Naturals moisturizing conditioner, and that made a big difference. These two are a match made in heaven—the conditioner feels creamy (almost like avocado), but not greasy, and it has a subtle fragrance. I understand it's made to be fragrance-free for sensitive scalps, but it does have that typical "unscented" smell. Personally, I don't mind it and actually like that clean feel, but I understand it won't be everyone's cup of tea. That said, the performance itself is really good, so if you're looking for a gentle, non-irritating shampoo, this is a solid option.

Great Natural Alternative for Sensitive Scalp Shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sensitive scalp shampoo by California Naturals is exactly what you want to get for when your scalp is at it's breaking point. It has not even a hint of fragrance even though the ingredients list chamomile, but it leaves your scalp feeling clean and - dare i say - moisturized? My only complaint is that I feel like it takes more product than normal or a double wash to really feel like the hair is clean.

Might purchase again if....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, after using this shampoo for some time, I have a handful of positives; the scent is clean, and simple (not overwhelming at all), it leaves my hair soft and residue free, which I love. However, I have a bit of a psoriasis on my head, which I was hoping that this would help with that. It definitely soothed it some, but not quite to the degree I was hoping. All that being said, if this was priced similar to other products I've used for a similar reason, I would go for this one, simply because other products made for those issues typically have a much stronger and unpleasant smell.

If you have sensitive skin, this product is amazing for you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate the quality it went into making a product for people with sensitive scalps. I appreciate the delicate notes of chamomile and oatmeal. It's thick and a you don't neee much product. It foams up easy and my scalp felt refreshed after each use. I also like that they're aren't any parabens and silicones in it as well. While I do like a little scent in my products, I understand it being fragrance free did the sensitive people.

Good for sensitive scalp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tend to have sensitive skin and scalp and this did not irritate anything. Even used after a sunburn on the scalp and felt soothing. Neutral scent and sensation.

It's good but nothing great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a sensitive scalp and a sensitive nose. I can't do heavy fragrance and this really doesn't have a fake fragrance at all. It's cost effective and the brand says they're "natural." It doesn't cleanse quite as well as other shampoos who advertise similar uses but this one isn't as stripping either for the length of my hair. I don't think I would repurchase just because there are so many options on the market. BUT this was a great introduction for me to the brand and I will be checking out their other hair care and body care products.

Works well with my hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this sensitive scalp shampoo - it works so well! It doesn't strip my hair or scalp, doesn't dry it out and cleans it really well. I like the gentle scent and it does seem to leather up well. Overall I do recommend.

Nice shampoo for sensitive scalps

I love the ingredient list
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love products that leave out the toxins, so this was right up my alley. This product is good. It calmed my irritated eczema scalp. My hair was squeaky clean and very soft afterwards. The only downside I found was that my hair was very oily the next day. This could be from the double-washing I do; maybe it stripped my hair too much. My scalp was still soothed, though. **I received this product for my unbiased and honest opinion.

Takes away the itch! Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to test the California Naturals Sensitive Scalp Shampoo in exchange for an honest review. The bottle is designed very nicely and fits well in our shower. I like the pump, which has a wide flat surface. The texture of the shampoo is very nice and barely has any fragrance. As my family is prone to itchy scalps, I encouraged my husband to give it a try. After one week of use, he happily declared that the itch he had was nearly gone! After a few more days, he told me the itch had completely left. He then decided to try it in his beard, which can make him very uncomfortable. Within the same time frame, his itch on his chin completely disappeared. This shampoo has become a game-changer in our home! After trying many popular brands for sensitive and itchy scalps/beards, we have finally found a product that actually works. We will be buying this in the future, as well as the conditioner.

Very good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hesitant to try it as after changing my shampoo more then half of the times I'm getting a dandruff. This one was really good. My hair is super soft and no dandruff. I'll definitely stick with it for now

New Favorite Shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this shampoo for about a month now. It leaves my hair feeling really clean but maintains the moisture. I have sensitive skin, and I've noticed that my hairline has less dandruff and acne since starting with this shampoo. I got my partner to try it. He has a very dry and flaky scalp. He's been using this shampoo and noticed it's gotten better. He likes that it doesn't have a strong smell. I have straight hair and he has wavy hair. It seems to work with both of our hair types. I'll definitely be using this product again.
