Head and Shoulders Clean & Balanced Regime Reviews

First impressions about the shampoo and conditioner was the delicious smell! They smell divine, and on squeezing them out of the bottle they are really thick and creamy.

Given the length of my hair I go through a lot of shampoo and conditioner, so how thick the shampoo and conditioner were hopefully meant I didn't have to use as much as I normally would.

The shampoo lathers really well, and my hair did actually feel cleaner than it does with my normal shampoo.

This is sadly where the praise ends though. When I washed the shampoo out, my hair felt like a tangled, clumped together, straw-like mess. I couldn't get my fingers through it to was the shampoo out properly, so had to rely on just rinsing. Thank goodness for conditioner!

I spent a good amount of time massaging the conditioner through my hair to try to untangle it, I left it in for a few minutes then rinsed it out. My hair felt clean, and I hoped the conditioner had helped with the tangles.

Unfortunately I was wrong, and had to spend a good amount of time wrestling the tangles out.

After using it twice I also noticed my hair was itching than before trialing the product. After four days I also noticed my hair was harder to brush and wasn't as smooth and soft as normal. Although my hair FELT cleaner, the tangles and texture of it have put me off continuing to use these products.

Although I'm sure this would be a fantastic product for hair that's not like mine, I'd not purchase it myself.

Over the years I've frequently used Head and Shoulders. They have helped manage my dandruff while protecting my hair, more than any other hair product.

Like most of their other shampoo and conditioner regimes , this has helped get my dandruff in check from the first couple of washes itself. The shampoo gives my scalp a clean feel without drying it out and the conditioner helps keep my hair manageable.

They have clean and neat packaging and come in the classic easy to use head and shoulders bottles

Definitely my go to haircare regime for managing dandruff.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I haven't had enough time to really see a change in my hair from this product, as I've only had it for 3 days.

These products work well together to clean my hair and scalp, and have left my hair feeling nice and shiny and healthy. I haven't noticed any extra fading of my hair dye, which is great as I've found their past products really fading for my hair colour. The scent isn't overpowering which is nice as I've found previous Head and Shoulders products to have a distinct strong smell which I associate with anti-dandruff products.

I haven't really noticed any particular anti-dandruff effects but that's likely due to me washing my hair more frequently than usual for this review - my dandruff starts building up after a couple of days post-washing, and I had to wash my hair daily in order to review it, so I can't comment on that.

This shampoo is amazing. Especially for my hair! My hair is thick, coarse and alot of it! when I say alot I mean......ALOT, If I get a 'trim' it could be someone's whole head of hair haha. It's wild. Throughout summer it's oily and throughout winter its drryyyy. I get alot of buildup and dandruff + some added eczema on the back of my head to top it all off! Now that I've painted an epic description of my glorious lush hair haha let's talk shampoo. It has a thick, almost toothpaste look to it, scent is super mild but nice, I need to shampoo my hair twice for it to feel like it's actually cleaning it. After shampoo my hair feels very stripped and I just know if I put comb through it right now it will KNOT be good ( I'm clearly up too early haha ) . but its definitely clean and I know it. Now the conditioner is definitely needed to make my hair all soft again, I feel it really does compliment the shampoo and works well together as a dandruff fighting duo. End result? my hair is dandruff free, eczema cleared after 4 days ( washed my hair twice during this time ) feels alot cleaner and I'm over all happy with the results. Think I'll keep them around. xx

This was an excellent review group to be selected for - thank you Beauty Review crew! My scalp had been driving me crazy with itching, no matter which new product I tried. Unlike others, Head & Shoulders truly delivered. From the very first application, there was a noticeable soothing quality to the products, which only got better in subsequent applications, so today, there is no itch at all. My hair feels soft, and has the most gorgeous shine to it.

I really liked the packaging of the product and especially how they complemented each other when side by side. It took a couple of uses for my brain to remember that the dark blue top signified shampoo, with the conditioner's bottle opening at the bottom, but once this sunk it, it makes it easier to grab at a glance.

The fragrance is really lovely. It is subtle and fresh, but the shampoo's scent is definitely the lovelier of the two.

A really lovely product, that although it isn't the most seductive of packaging, does exactly what it promises to do.

I’ve always stayed clear of dandruff shampoo as I always thought it wouldn’t suit my thick curly hair. After a couple of washes with this shampoo I noticed way less flaking and definitely not as itchy. I seem to be able to go a extra day or so before needing to wash my hair.

I was worried about the conditioner not being moisturising enough for very curly & damaged hair. However I was Presently surprised. After conditioning my hair felt soft and my curls weren’t frizzy and were defined without any extra products!! It does have a slight scent to it, smells quite clean and refreshing, nothing too strong and doesn’t linger on your hair. Can’t wait to keep using it and see further results!

Head and Shoulders is of course the OG in supermarket brand dandruff control. I’ve always had dandruff, and I know that H&S truly works to ease the irritation and flakiness.

This regime is much the same as all their other products. The active ingredients work. The smell is fresh and clean. It is affordable.

Personally I only use this on my scalp because it is quite drying on the ends. The main ‘smoothing’ ingredient is dimethicone, which is effective but with long term use can weigh down the hair with a silicone coating which prevents actual moisture from penetrating the hair shaft. So for dry, damaged, or brittle hair this might not work long-term unless you pair it with a deep conditioning treatment too.

They come in the standard look Head and Shoulders white and blue bottles and a little goes a long way for both these. I don’t think my hair has ever been as soft and clean smelling after any other anti dandruff shampoo as when I’ve used this conditioner. I’m a convert! They are so affordable I will definitely purchase again if they reduce my white speckles. (Only had time to use twice pre review so unsure of speckle/flake dandruff reduction power quite yet)

The review is pretty accurate Head and Shoulders Regime does do what it says, dandruff free and flake free, brushed my hair while conditioner in and went through like slicing butter smoothly and left my hair smelling nice and nourished and clean.
