NeutrogenaAnti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo, Gentle Non-Irritating Clarifying Shampoo to Remove Hair Build-Up & Residue, 12 fl. oz

The first picture is taken after my hair air-dried after I used this shampoo. The second picture is after my hair air-dried after I used my regular shampoo, the OGX volumizing shampoo. My hair is always frizzy even if I glue it to my head with hairspray, so just ignore that. My hair is fine - not thin, I have lots of it, the follicles just aren't thick - so I use volumizing shampoo to give my ED hair a lift and make it have a little more bounce and shine.This Neutrogena shampoo does a great job cleaning off the build-up and it smells really nice. I got it 25 September and I use it every Sunday to refresh my hair. If my hair has too much buildup, I'll use it again the next day or again sometime in the week. I've also used it twice in one day for excess buildup or gunk and it works really nicely like that too. I've not noticed any damage to my hair outside of my own poor hair care routine.I don't know what reaction some people are having to the ingredients, but I've not had any problems. I honestly love it. No damage to my hair or any hair loss, doesn't weigh it down, doesn't burn, itch, or sting, it removes the buildup, it smells great, and my hair is super soft when it's all dry. I highly recommend if you want to get rid of the buildup.

My wife’s review: I have had a lot of trouble with greasy hair over the last few years, especially after having a baby. Nothing I have tried would help. my hair would literally be greasy after getting out of the shower. It was not a great feeling. I randomly stumbled upon this shampoo when scouring the internet for better answers, and I’m SO GLAD I did because it WORKS. After one use my hair feels so soft, so clean, it’s bouncy, shiny and there is no grease in sight (Atleast for the moment and that’s enough for me). I’ve read that it’s discontinued which stinks but I’m so glad I found it when I did. If you are on the fence about it, just buy it and see the magic for yourself✨ the scent does not bother me at all and I honestly feel like I walked out of the hair salon- it’s THAT good!!!

This Neutrogena product has been my go-to shampoo for years and years for getting my hair back to shiny and clean-feeling. I wasn't allergic to any of the ingredients, it removed all the residues and waxy conditioner stuff, and I just loved the scent. Now it's gone forever and they have another shampoo line in its place, which I looked into. It apparently includes grapefruit to entice the folks that love the idea of "green" and organic, and according to the reviews of it, the scent is quite strong, so I have to reject it. I won't buy a grapefruit-scented shampoo. The only scent I like in hair products is lavender, a lemon scent as in the 1970s, or a true coconut smell, which is not easy to find. I have always smelled a shampoo or conditioner before I buy it if I am unfamiliar with the product. Any hint of that horrid green apple or any other fruity scents, or that awful peppermint smell that you find in nearly all the Tea Tree shampoos (which actually stings my scalp, and I'm NOT talking about the Tea Tree oil, just the mint, which I'm allergic to), and I'm outa there. Sigh.One of many items that have been great but have been discontinued. I haven't found another clarifying shampoo that does what this one did. They all leave something behind, and that's the last thing my scalp eczema wants...so, for everyone else who misses this great shampoo, I sincerely hope you find something else that works well for you. There must be something out there that I haven't found yet!I am hoping some company that does knockoffs buys the original formula and puts it out there...like one of the dollar stores. And that I find out about it somehow. They used to do that with some once-popular but finally discontinued perfumes. I'm waiting, world!Are you listening, Neutrogena? We loved the stuff! You had a dedicated clientele!I am not unwilling to try a new line of yours. But grapefruit? No, sorry. Perhaps you will offer something else in time...I can only hope.

I am Caucasian and have dreadlocks, I read someone else having dreadlocks in the reviews and they said it cleansed well, since that was what I was looking for - and truth be told it does. It will not get all the crap out from build up like wax and shae butter and all that junk, but it will get out the weekly wear and tear of products.My only gripe is that though it is cheap if you have tons of dreads like I do, very thick hair full of volume like I do, it takes quite a bit of this product to get it all in there and let it work its magic, and due to that this stuff goes fast. The bottle is tiny, you're talking aftershave bottle tiny. I feel like I am at some hotel every time I use it, my little sample bottle of shampoo that cost me $5.I notice if you do not really get in there and let it lather it doesn't do much more than water. You have to let it lather and sit there a bit, the breakup process must take a little time because if I am in a hurry and lay it on there, work it in a little then rinse, I'll have plenty of residue left over.It is very moisturizing though and adding some aloe to those locks afterwards only compliments them. I definitely notice that my hair went from overly gunked-up tough rope like locks to soft beautiful moisturized locks and all I changed was the shampoo. I still use my lime-mango jelly to keep them pretty, the occasional water-style, and this shampoo. Even once a week, the stuff works great!Recommended for white people with dreadlocks.

Excellent product price went from 6.99 to 149.00. Crazy and why so expensive? Cannot find in the stores only on line.
