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.

Shampoo: I found that the shampoo lathered really well and that a little went a long way. When washing it out though, my hair felt a little sticky, although this was soon remedied after using the conditioner. Conditioner: The conditioner is a lovely thick formula and easily went through my thick hair. It immediately left my hair feeling really soft after washing it out. As a pair: I enjoyed using these products in the shower with wet hair, however, I found that when my hair dried, it was quite fluffy. I have quite thick, curly hair anyway, but noticed that it was quite a bit fluffier than other brands of shampoo and conditioner I have used. In regards to its anti-dandruff qualities, I did notice that my hair looked very clean and didn't notice any flaking in my scalp, like I sometimes can. In that way, I liked it! Overall, it's a pretty simple shampoo and conditioner, with no extra frills, but should be considered if dandruff is your main concern.

Thick product which is so rich in smell. Smell is to die for. And product is so nice to massage through hair. I’m in love with this stuff!!!!! However, I’m unsure how good it actually is for your hair. It’s full of such unnatural and random ingredients

This one was a bit of a tight review and I normally wouldn't wash my hair twice in 4 days unless I had a special night out and a lot of product buildup. That being said, with the second shampoo and conditioner application tonight my hair is only maybe fractionally drier than usual on the ends and my scalp feels great. These products work really well together, the only downside for me is the scent. For some reason my nose really doesn't like it and I can't stop smelling it!! The shampoo is a surprising thickness and you'll definitely need less than you think to get a nice rich lather that penetrates to the scalp easily. I did experience a few tangles after rinsing out the shampoo but the conditioner soon sorted those out. The conditioner was easy to work through from roots to tips and once rinsed out properly left my hair feeling great. I did need to add a little serum to the dry ends of my hair when blow-drying straight away but when I let my hair dry naturally I had a surprisingly frizz free version of my natural waves.

All in all the system does it's job, no nasty white flakes to be seen on my black uniform but for me it's likely to be a once a fortnight use to reduce buildup and cleanse my scalp rather than a product I'd use every time I wash my hair.

This shampoo is designed to be used daily without altering your scalp. Well, I think it delivers on this promise. Its formula is very thick, has a mild, non-chemical odour, and foams with a little application. I recommend having it for at least a minute doing a gentle massage on the scalp and then washing it as usual. The feeling is a little taut on the hair, but then when using the conditioner from the same line, the hair feels very soft and detangled. The thinnest conditioner smells good and does its job. My hair feels clean, smooth, and shiny. And I could say that it looks hydrated. Also notice that my hair is clean it lasted me more than a day. When using it again it was fine, like the first time clean and smooth. I recommend it to use it daily if you feel you need it, you can alternate washing days at your convenience. The packaging seems adequate to me and it has a good grip. It clearly distinguishes what the shampoo and conditioner are. Its price seems very accessible to me. If I will continue using it.

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.

The Head and Shoulders Clean & Balanced Shampoo and Conditioner together make up the 'Head & Shoulders Clean & Balanced Regime' and come in the traditional Head and Shoulders blue and white packaging. They fit side by side nicely, with top and tail shaping to sit well together. 

The products themselves are a white colour and a nice consistency for both. They have an inoffensive fruity smell, not overpowering but fresh.

While I only had a short period of time to trial these products, I found they did eliminate my itchy scalp and minimise the dandruff.  They left my hair feeling soft and full of moisture, and did not appear to strip any colour from my heavily colour treated hair. My hair felt silky and smooth after rinsing and drying.

I didn't have to use a lot of either product. As a supermarket available regime with price point accordingly, it would seem to be an affordable option that lasts.

This regime works well for the management of dandruff. The shampoo leaves your hair feeling super clean and gets rid of all the flakes. The conditioner leaves your hair feeling silky and smooth but still fresh. I would highly recommend.

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!

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)
