Neutrogena Exfoliating Healthy Scalp Clarify & Shine Shampoo for Oily Hair and Scalp, Anti-Residue Shampoo with Pink Grapefruit, pH-Balanced, Paraben & Phthalate-Free, Color-Safe, 12oz

I have been taking better care of my scalp and hair since my last baby three years ago. I noticed my hormones made my head itchy and highly uncomfortable. I would scratch but it wouldn’t stop. I would check for lice and nothing was found. I tried so many shampoos from anti fungal to head and shoulders. The head and shoulders works most of the time but after awhile, it doesn’t do its job. That’s when I use this product. A clarifying, residue stripping, gentle cleanse that starts my head back at fresh again. It’s such a game changer for me. It smells amazing, works like a charm at removing months of build up and keeps my scalp from the dreaded itch. I only wish I knew about this sooner. The way I use it is once every month or two. I can tell when my hair starts becoming more oily, heavy and not its lightweight puffy mane. Whenever it begins to feel unreasonably itchy, I use this for my hair washing (sometimes twice in a shower!) and follow with my regular H&S conditioner. Then, I don’t have to wash my hair for at least 7-10 days. Which is a true testament to how well this formula works. It doesn’t dry my hair out at all. It is the most gentle formula I’ve ever tried and again, the citrus smell is my favorite. I firmly believe this has high value for money as one bottle lasts me half a year. I haven’t yet had any issues with the bottle leaking but I’m not exactly traveling with it either. If I must travel, I’ll either shower with it the day before or use a small travel bottle. So I cannot speak in the bottle leakage bit. Overall, I will be coming back for more. As for you, I honestly don’t know. But I had a great experience and it would be worth trying if you had any of the issues I did.

I've been using the Neutrogena Shampoo for a few weeks now, and I’m quite satisfied with its performance. Here’s my detailed review:Packaging and Scent:The packaging is simple and practical, with a sturdy bottle that’s easy to handle in the shower. The shampoo has a pleasant, fresh scent that isn’t too overpowering, which I appreciate as someone sensitive to strong fragrances.Texture and Application:The shampoo has a lightweight, gel-like texture that lathers well. It spreads easily through the hair, providing a thorough cleanse without needing to use a large amount. The inclusion of exfoliating ingredients is a nice touch, as they help to gently remove buildup from the scalp without being too harsh.Effectiveness:This shampoo is particularly effective for those with oily hair and scalp. After each wash, my hair feels incredibly clean and refreshed, with a noticeable reduction in oiliness. The shampoo does a great job of clarifying the scalp, leaving it feeling balanced and free from excess oil. Additionally, it doesn’t strip the hair of its natural moisture, which is a common issue with other clarifying shampoos.Scalp Health and Shine:One of the standout benefits of this shampoo is how it improves scalp health. The exfoliating action helps to keep the scalp clear of impurities and dandruff, promoting a healthier environment for hair growth. Moreover, my hair has a nice, natural shine after using this shampoo, making it look vibrant and healthy.Value for Money:Given its effectiveness, the Neutrogena offers excellent value for money. The results are comparable to higher-end salon products but at a more affordable price point. The bottle also lasts a decent amount of time, even with regular use, which adds to its overall value.Conclusion:Overall, I am very pleased with the Neutrogena Shampoo. It’s an excellent choice for those with oily hair and scalp issues, providing a thorough cleanse and promoting scalp health without over-drying the hair. The pleasant scent and affordable price point are additional bonuses. I would highly recommend this shampoo to anyone looking for a reliable solution to manage oily hair and improve scalp health.

I have oily hair. It's very fine, so it soaks up oil on my scalp immediately.After I wash it, no matter what shampoo/conditioner/leave in products I do or don't use, I get the same results - it looks good for 1 day, then it looks okay for 1 day, then greasy for 1 day, then ridiculously, unacceptably greasy and dirty after that. I am so envious of people who say they wash their hair once or twice per week. I'm an every-other-day (mayyyybe every 3 days if I am staying at home) kind of a girl. I have to be, if I want to look at all presentable. Which is annoying and inconvenient, considering how lazy I am.This shampoo has not changed my life, and my hair continues to get greasy after only 2 days. However, it looks great, especially on the first day! The shampoo smells like the Neutrogena grapefruit face wash I used in my teens, so I'm constantly doing double-takes, thinking that I just slathered face wash on my scalp. But the scent is very nice after I stop panicking! And when I rinse it out, my hair instantly feels beyond clean. It's such a nice feeling. When I get lazy and go a few days without washing my hair, this shampoo cuts through all that grease easily and effectively. I don't have to go in for a second round like I do with other shampoos.I would recommend this shampoo, especially if you have oily hair like me and you're tired of the "lather-rinse-repeat" routine (does that remind anyone else of Ethan Craft??).Overall, a good shampoo. I am still waiting for the day when a shampoo can keep my hair oil-free for multiple days in a row, though. I dream of that day.

The smell is something to get used to but it doesn’t smell bad. Helped a lot with my hair falling out, now it’s a lot less noticeable!

Love this stuff! I use this clarifying shampoo once a week to detox my hair from the buildup of other products. It's a great "reset" for your hair and will make your normal shampoo work better. I use both the shampoo and conditioner and it's a nice light moisture that cleanses without completely stripping my hair. Again, I would not use it more than once a week because that would likely be drying. I will say that this keeps my wiry greys soft as well. Bonus: it's cheap!
