Head and Shoulders Clean & Balanced Shampoo

I'm not new to Head and Shoulders Shampoo but I normally choose the Smooth and Silky version. The shampoo is nice and thick with a slightly blue hue and a clean yet non descript fragrance (I couldn't pinpoint a particular top note but it's lovely and fresh). This is a great choice for men as it's not heavily scented but I was happy using it too. This shampoo arrived just as my scalp was beginning to feel a bit bumpy and itchy (normally a prelude to a dandruff outbreak). After the first use that inflammation had subsided and there was no visible dandruff. The bottle has the normal packaging with the blue and white and is easily recognisable. I normally use head and shoulders for a week or so when my dandruff flares before returning to my standard shampoo (one for lasting colour). But a bottle would last me about 2 weeks with continuous use. On ocassion I have used head and shoulders for more than three months and it always leaves my hair shiny and silky and my scalp flake free. I'd totally recommend this to anyone suffering from 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.

The texture of this shampoo is really thick and lovely, and lathers really nicely in my hair. It rinses out very easily too, and my hair feels clean without being dehydrated afterwards. I have coloured hair (bright pink) and my main problem with anti-dandruff products is that they strip hair dye really badly. I found that this shampoo didn't strip my hair colour as much as other Head and Shoulders products have in the past, which is great and might lead me to switch over to using anti-dandruff products more frequently in the future. 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.

The Head and Shoulders shampoo comes in the usual easy to use Head and Shoulders bottle.

I have used Head and Shoulders a lot over the years and like most of their shampoos , the clean and balanced one keeps the dandruff in check and helps with the itchy scalp. It'

Head and shoulders is definitely one of my go to haircare products that help manage my dandruff difficulties without drying my hair out.

My scalp had been irritated for months, but no matter what shampoo I used, the irritation never quite went away.

The bottle is really well designed, easily fitting in one hand, the slim design making it less cumbersome to squeeze.

I feel so lucky to have been chosen to trial Head & Shoulders shampoo, because even after the first wash, it was noticeably soothed. I could almost hear my scalp sigh with relief. It foams up nicely, and washes out easily, leaving your scalp and strands of hair feel clean and refreshed. It has a really lovely clean, fresh scent which is really pleasing, and once dried, my hair had a noticeable shine to it, which I've often found lacking when using dandruff shampoos.

All in all, I really loved this product, and will definitely be buying this again.

Nice firm creamy product, lathered nicely, and smells nice. After several uses, my hair was feeling much nicer

Thanks to BR for sending me this to review. This has regular Head and Shoulders packaging, but it feels sufficiently robust to withstand dropping it in the shower a couple of times. The scent of this product is really nice, and it's quite unisex, so no worries about smelling 'girly' if that's not what you're into- my partner didn't mind using it either!

This lathered really well, and left my hair feeling really clean, but not dry. I have been previously been using the neutrogena T-Gel for my scalp, as I get some flaking and itching, but this could well be a replacement contender. It has controlled my flakes, and hasn't left me itchy, so it's a win for me.

This was great! It lathered up beautifully and a little went a long way. The smell is pleasant and it didn't leave my hair dry...actually the opposite! My dandruff has already reduced as less flakey skin is dropping on my clothes

After using the shampoo my hair looks very clean and shiny. The texture is very thick and smells great. It does not smell chemical, it has a very mild odor. With little quantity it made me a lot of foam. After washing it I felt the need to use the conditioner. My hair reaches my shoulders and it was very tangled. I don't need to wash my hair every day. It lasted two days clean. I had no bad reaction in my scalp, I think I could use it daily if necessary. It has a suitable price and it is easy to find it in supermarkets.

I have fallen in love! This shampoo is amazing. I covers the hair beautifully while giving it that clean feeling almost instantly. My hair is shiny and is tamed.. something I didn't expect to happen.. but was pleasantly surprised by. I used two shampoos before the conditioner as I'm an ex hair dresser and that's how I've always done it.. but i really do believe I could get away with shampooing once before I pop conditioner through. I highly recommend this shampoo. I will now be using this for the foreseeable future

I’ve always been worried about what people would think with me rocking Head & Shoulders in my bathroom for everyone to see. Ive always has the stupid notion that people would think ewwww she’s got dandruff. (Which they don’t by the way - but sometimes you get a silly notion in your head and it won’t go away.) But seriously Head & Shoulders is the best—even if you’re not the lucky recipient of shoulder glitter (dandruff). It’s just excellent at deep cleaning without stripping, it makes my scalp feel fresh, and has a really pleasant, not-too-girly scent that’s perfect for me and my boyfriend. Plus, it makes my hair insanely shiny and obliterates flakiness, so you don’t have to go around being all self-conscious of shoulder glitter anymore. Winning!
