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.

Not as good as classic
Flimsy cap. Spilled shampoo in my car. I was excited to try a sulfate free H&S but my scalp has been very itchy since I switched. Going back to classic clean.

1 reply from Head & Shoulders team - 10 months ago
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about our Head and Shoulders Bare Pure Clean Shampoo! We're really sorry to hear that it left your hair feeling greasy and a bit weighed down. That's definitely not the experience we want for you, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll make sure to share your feedback with our Quality Assurance and Head and Shoulders Teams. Greasy hair can be a bit tricky and can happen for a few reasons. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of using a little too much product or choosing a shampoo that might not be the best fit for your hair type. We recommend starting with a smaller amount to see if that helps. If you’re still having trouble, doing a double wash can really help reset your hair. If your usual shampoo isn’t doing the trick, try a clarifying shampoo. Oh, and just a reminder to rinse really well—leftover product can definitely contribute to that greasy feeling! We’d love to hear more about your experience and help you out further. When you get a moment, feel free to give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or drop us a message through the Contact Us page on our website. We’re here for you!

Nice shampoo, flimsy bottle
I like the way by hair feels when I use Bare, but I hate the way the container collapses when squeezed.

Dries hair, hair loss
A few weeks ago, I discovered that the tiny little grains in my hair that I've had my whole life are dandruff. The dermatologist said it's mild and recommended Head and Shoulders and that'd I'd be fine. I have wavy hair, so I stick to sulfate-free products and was happy to see this option. It took me 3 weeks, but I finally put together that this was causing hair loss - including the chunk of about 45 strands that came out togeter while showering today. It also dries my hair out a ton and makes it very frizzy. I will not be continuing my use of this product, though I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thank you for reaching out about our Head and Shoulders BARE Pure Clean Shampoo. It disappoints us greatly to hear that you experienced some hair loss and that your hair was left feeling dry and frizzy. That's definitely not the kind of news we want to hear from any of our consumers and we understand how devastating this may be. We appreciate your concern and want to assure you that our hair care products do not cause or speed up hair loss. It's important to know that losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is considered normal. A great deal of work has gone into the development and testing of all our products to ensure they are safe for use. Additionally, we have extensive quality controls in place and our products are used by millions of people every year. Hair loss is normal and is a continuous process. Hair goes through a natural cycle of growth where each hair grows long, falls out, and is replaced by a new hair. If you are noticing a significant amount of hair loss, we recommend speaking to your doctor. Also, hair being dry and frizzy is usually a sign of it not being conditioned well enough. For a better experience you may consider using a rich conditioner after you shampoo and you may want to consider using a conditioning treatment to help with any excess dryness. 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.

Not great for curl pattern
It did seem to help my scalp but it seriously killed my waves/curls. The light scent was tolerable. Rich lather. Not sure if I'll but it again. Ended up using some of it as body wash.

Excellent Shampoo
Bare Pure clean is the best shampoo I have ever used. No dandruff, scalp feels clean & this shampoo adds body to my fine thin hair.

Not For Me
Wanted to like this, but it makes my hair feel like it's coated with something. It cleans my hair, but my hair feels like I added styling product to it. Used it without a conditioner. Didn't make my hair feel dry. Helped some with my dandruff and dry scalp, but hasn't eliminated either. Scent isn't very pleasant. Doesn't smell clean though. Smells like unpleasant, annoying perfume/soap. I'll stick with Head & Shoulders 2 in 1. I do like the eco bottle, this shampoo isn't for me. I have thick, short hair. People with fine, thin hair would probably not like having their hair feel coated and weighed down by whatever chemical makes this shampoo cling to your hair.

Cleaner formula is a plus
My husband always uses head and shoulders or else his head gets itchy. This one works well for him. I like that the ingredients are cleaner than the traditional head and shoulder and that the packaging is less plastic.
