I liked the idea of having a shampoo and conditioner in one - as I tend to be a bit lazy. However, I bought this to help with my dandruff.
I used this every time I washed my hair for just over a month. FirstLy I found the smell absolutely repulsive - it's a kind of gross sweet chemical smell. But because I didn't want to waste product I ignored it and used it anyway.
It didn't froth up a whole lot which I found a little odd, but it rinsed out well and my hair felt clean when I got out of the shower.
When I went to comb it, it was super, super knotty and it felt awful. It didn't feel sleek like it usually does after washing it. It was really painful combing my hair because it was so knotty.
When my hair dried it looked really dry and unhealthy. Initially I thought that this was just my hair adjusting to a new shampoo. When this didn't improve over the course of 6 weeks, I decided it was this - as I hadn't done anything different to my hair or diet.
Also my dandruff seemingly got worse. For the first two weeks it was really bad and my sister - who studied hairdressing, said that it is just the shampoo/conditioner getting rid of my dandruff. After this didn't improve I started questioning the shampoo but continued with it as I though it could just my scalp adjusting to it.
Alas, I loathe this shampoo/conditioner combo. It could just be my hair or my scalp not liking it - I'm not sure. My boyfriend swears by this and he has gorgeous shiny hair with no dandruff. But for me this was just awful. It didn't suit my hair or scalp. Based on this I will never buy or use this again, I've had better results using dishwasher liquid (the things you do when camping). I wouldn't recommend this based on my experience with it but my boyfriend has great results with it, so it obviously works for some - just not me.
I am a long time user of head and shoulders and am very happy with the range. I find it does work for dandruff which is very important to me but it also helps keep my hair full of moisture without going greezy, the smells of this range are also incredible. my partner also get dandruff really badly and he tried this before going out to buy something expensive and is really happy with the results. I personally wouldn't say that its 100% like they claim but for a reasonable priced product, its something to still be happy with. I would happily buy again and will always recommend people try before going out and buying something more expensive. the fact that you can purchase from a supermarket is convenient.
Tips: theres a head and shoulders hair mask that you can also purchase that I highly recommend buying if the case of dandruff is extreme to start off with, it also makes your hair divine.
