Love Head and Shoulders but this Bare brand always left my hair feeling dirty and greasy still.

Thank you for your feedback on Head & Shoulders Bare Soothing Hydration Shampoo. We appreciate your loyalty to Head & Shoulders. However, we are sorry to hear about your recent experience. 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. Something else to consider is washing your hair twice, applying a small amount of shampoo each time, to ensure a thorough cleanse. Also, occasionally use a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup and restore hair cleanliness. Our team would like to learn more about your experience. Please feel free to call us at (800) 723-9569 or email us through our Contact Us page.

Finally a gentle dandruff shampoo.
Excellent shampoo. It lathers well and leaves my curly hair feeling very soft. It works better for dandruff than their regular formula. My hair is very dry and this doesn't strip it of its moisture.

Is very hard to work through my hair and leaves my hair feeling brittle and greasy. I do like the soothing feeling but it smells like toothpaste to me.

Thank you for reaching out about our Head and Shoulders BARE Soothing Hydration Shampoo. While we are glad you received some relief on your scalp, it is upsetting to hear that your hair was left feeling brittle and greasy. That's not the kind of experience we want our consumers to have and we are sure this may have been frustrating for you. Please know that we will be addressing this with the rest of our team. In the meantime, we are happy to help. Hair being dry or brittle may not have been conditioned well enough. The product you're using may not be the best for your hair type. For a better experience, we recommend using a more hydrating shampoo or pairing it with a light anti-dandruff conditioner. The greasy feeling may have been a result of too much product being used and it not being properly rinsed. Consider using less than you normally would and ensuring your hair has been thoroughly rinsed out. 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 can better assist you.

Greasy not good.
Smells good but that’s it. Doesn’t rinse well. Leaves hair and scalp greasy which is terrible for seborrheic dandruff. When blow drying I could feel a residue on my fingers. A lot of hair shed as well.

I wouldnt risk it.
The pyrithione zinc in this product caused photosensitivity in sunlight and my scalp would burn immediatly and made my hair fall out. Get rid of the chemical before it happens to others.

Lots of hair shed, hair doesn't feel clean
This shampoo made my hair shed a lot when washed and also would have a lot of shedding in general. It did not prevent dandruff. Also, it did not leave my hair feeling clean once I rinsed my hair. I tried it several times, over half the bottle, but decided enough was enough and tossed the rest.

Seeking professional advice from a doctor will provide you with the most accurate evaluation and recommendations tailored to your specific situation. If you haven’t already done so, we recommend that you discontinue using the product. Regarding the dandruff, as you likely 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 optimal results, we recommend using it every time you shampoo. 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. Please feel free to call us at (800) 723-9569 or email us through our Contact Us page for further assistance.

Lifesaver
Finally one with cleaner ingredients! I suffer with constant dandruff but have concerns about chemicals and sulfates. This is perfect! I've used it almost a year now. My hair is shiny, moisturized, and feels stronger! I absolutely love it. The scent is light, I don't really smell it? Definitely goes away as soon as you apply conditioner. Apparently you're supposed to roll the bottle like a tube of toothpaste to get the last drops out, which is eco-friendly in concept but kind of a hassle. But whatever!

Moisturizing but bottle could be better
Decided to try this formulation without sulfates instead of the regular H&S. It smells really good, not overpowering and leaves my hair feeling very moiturizized after washing. So much so, I don't need to use as much conditioner. I'm taking away one star because the bottle is terrible. It's made of extremely thin plastic and impossible to maneuver. Hard to squeeze out the shampoo in the shower.

Not for sensitive skin, irritation
Very irritating, very strong fragrance. Ingredients contain Betaine which is not for sensitive, scalp, or skin.

Great shampoo for curly hair!
I have been struggling to find a shampoo for my curly hair that relieves my itchy scalp/ seb derm. I was a bit nervous to try this at first because the original head and shoulders was a bit drying for my curls. This stuff is truly amazing! I am able to go 3-4 days without washing my scalp, compared to 2. Also the bare ingredient formula checks off all the boxes for fungal acne safe (this is really important to me). Please don’t ever change the formula, it’s great!

Family Loves It
I don’t have dandruff, but my husband and sons swear by this. Every time I buy them something different they always say this one is the best. I don’t notice their dandruff at all when they’re using this, so it’s a repeat purchase for me.

Love it!
This might be my new favorite shampoo. I was looking for something simple and won’t leave residue. I’m a week in and I love it. It leaves my fine hair so soft and luxurious.
