Q: It is 2025 why are your products not listed as cruelty free?! How do you market that it’s environmentally friendly bottle if you rest on animals otherwise?!

submitted by smartshopper - 7 months ago
  • A: We have not tested a finished product on animals in over a decade, but we choose not to make this claim because we want to be straight with you. Nearly every ingredient used in consumer products today has been tested in the past and some laws require animal testing still today. That’s why we’re putting so much effort behind developing non-animal alternatives, and working with global authorities for their acceptance as the most meaningful solution to ultimately eliminate research involving animals.

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.

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!

Thank you for your review on Head & Shoulders Bare Soothing Hydration Shampoo. We are happy to hear you liked the feel while in the shower. However, we are saddened that you were overall dissatisfied with your recent purchase. This is not the experience we want you to have and we are sharing your comments with the rest of the team. The residue feeling could be caused by using too much product. We recommend trying to use less product and make sure your hair is thoroughly rinsed.

daisy - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.

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!

Thank you for reaching out to us about your experience with Head and Shoulders Bare Soothing Hydration Shampoo. We genuinely care about providing products that deliver the relief you seek, and we're sorry to hear that you haven't observed a noticeable change. This isn't the experience we aim for, and we will make sure to pass your feedback along to our Quality Assurance Team and the rest of the Head and Shoulders staff. As you might know, dandruff is often triggered by a sensitivity to a microbe that lives on the scalp, which can lead to issues like flaking, redness, and irritation. For relief, we recommend using Head and Shoulders Shampoo at least twice a week for the next six weeks. For the best results, consider using our shampoo every time you wash your hair, and pair it with one of our Head and Shoulders Conditioners. To maintain long-term effectiveness, it’s crucial to keep using Head and Shoulders even after your symptoms improve. We offer a variety of products designed to cater to individual hair care needs. We would love to connect with you to learn more about your specific requirements and help you find the perfect product. Whenever you have a moment, please don't hesitate to give us a call at (800) 723-9569 or reach out via email through our Contact Us page on the website.

Thank you for getting in touch about our Head and Shoulders BARE Soothing Hydration Shampoo. We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a more than satisfying experience. Head & Shoulders’ objective was to make the biggest reduction in plastic while retaining durability and functionality. Less plastic means our bottle is lightweight, easy to squeeze, and rollable for the last drop. We understand that everyone has preferences and that's why we're glad you reached out. You can be sure that we are addressing this with the appropriate people on our team. Also, if you're having a hard time rinsing out the product, consider using less than you normally would. We'd love 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.
