Kristin Ess Fragrance Free Daily Cleansing Shampoo, Lightly Clarifing, Vegan + Sulfate Free

A single washing left my hair squeaky clean: all of the natural oil was stripped. It looked as dry and lifeless as it felt. My teen son had the same experience. We both have straight hair. His hair is oiler and thicker than mine, but the results were the same.

I’ve had this shampoo for a while. My hairdresser noticed that my well water made my hair more dark/greasy, and said a clarifying shampoo would help. I only wash my hair once a week, so I decided to use this shampoo with every shower. After consistently using it once a week for the past 3 months, I’m noticing MAJOR hair loss. Like every time I pull down my pony tail, I’m losing clumps of hair. The only thing I’ve changed in my life/routine is using this shampoo. I’m going to throw out the rest and hope and pray my hair goes back to normal. Cannot recommend this product.

I like her other shampoo conditioners, they work and make my hair feel good but the fragrance makes me sick. I wanted unscented hair products because I have asthma and am super sensitive to fragrance (I get bad migraines) I liked these plain b/w bottles better too so I bought this and the matching conditioner. Neither work well on my color treated, long fine hair. The shampoo doesn't spread well and I get tons of tangles so I won't be buying this again. How about stop using these stinky, old lady floral toxic fumes?

Admittedly I didn’t try the product, but that was because of the overwhelmingly strong citrus-like scent. When something says fragrance free, I expect no smell or very mild. I have massive fragrance/scent allergies, so this is unacceptable. The bottle was open when it arrived so I got hit with the scent immediately. It’s probably not unpleasant but it caused a migraine and flushing all over my face. Conditioner is same issue.

Scent free, simple packaging, value is good for the price. Texture is smooth and the effectiveness of the results after using for a week, you will notice a difference.

Even the tiniest hint of perfume, fragrance, scent... makes me lose my mind. I don't know if the problem is my nose or my brain, but this is an awful issue to have in this world where people walk around with layers of fragrance on them. Thankfully, I found this shampoo! It's a clarifying shampoo, so it'll strip your hair if you use it daily. I have oily hair and terrible hard water, so using this shampoo a couple times a month really helps wash away buildup from those things.

Cleans, doesn't strip, doesn't dry out my curly, thick hair and doesn't irrate my skin! Love, please keep making it!!

Great product!! Good for oily hair. Would recommend!!

My favorite fragrance free shampoo!! Cleans hair really well and feels light/foamy. Love the large pump bottle too.

I tried to convice myself to like this shampoo but I can’t put up with using it anymore. It’s not for me. I got down to about 2/10 of a bottle left and just threw out the last bit. It makes my hair feel like it’s going to tear out and makes it insanely dry. It doesn’t lather as well as others so I have to use more product and overall my scalp has been itchy, flaking, and uncomfy. I switched to another shampoo and brand and my hair is already looking and feeling better. I can’t recommend this formula at all based on my experience.

My 13 year old is always dealing with greasy hair and this shampoo has helped her to maintain her hair looking good for a little longer she is been using it for a year with no issues

Actually the worst shampoo I’ve ever tried and lasted under a month.

I never have hair breakage. my hair is splitting at the top of my scalp and so thin!! BEWARE i can see short broken hairs at the top of my head. and my scalp is so itchy. dandruff out of control

This gave me a horrible rash on my scalp, ears, and back of my neck. i will be returning it asap. i have seen multiple reviews from multiple places/people saying it caused them to break out into a rash as well

I am normally one to skim through all reviews but am kicking myself that I did not read the negative ones. It is all true. This should be yanked from the shelves. I already suffer from thin hair, so thought nothing of chunks coming out :( my scalp is red and irritated, the itching and flaking is starting today and my hair has been DULL and DRY and brittle. Big big mistake.

Made my scalp very itchy other than that it was fine. But I am going crazy.

It made my hair feel very dry and coarse. It feels very stripping, I don't know how someone could use this daily.

I fell in love with shampoo/conditioner set given my frangrance sensitivities. But something's changed. I now can't use it without awful oily buildup and to my horror - a reoccurance of cradle cap... Developing a sensitivity that left me using Vanicream (dry scalp and brittle hair) finding this shampoo was originally a Godsend - and perfect for both my curly-haired partner as well as my staight hair. We've been using it over a year and a half with no problems. Now even after three rounds of lathering/rinsing, I still have horrible buildup. My hair was so oily it was appearing wet even while dry, and we were BOTH running through the alternate salicylic acid clarifying shampoo - needing to use it up to every other wash - before realizing what was going on. A real shame, they must have changed the formula, because it had really hit a perfect balance other Fragrance-Free formulas hadn't, but now it's essentially ineffective.

This was an incredible shampoo until the company decided to water down the formula. Now it doesn’t cleanse the same so I’ll be looking for a new shampoo. Shame on the company for changing the formula to cut costs.

Fragrance Free is my new go to for hair care and body care. I love the fact that fragrance free products do not interfere with fragrances that I wear on my body. This shampoo cleans my hair well and works nicely with Kristin Ess Fragrance Free Conditioner.
