Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair and Scalp - Degrease Deep Cleansing Shampoo Build Up Remover with Rosemary Oil for Greasy Hair & Scalp - Vegan Color Safe Sulfate Paraben & Cruelty Free (16 Fl Oz)

I am really loving my first Maple Holistic product, the Shampoo For Oily, Itchy and Greasy Hair. I tend to have oily hair (especially around my hairline) even when I wash my hair every day or two. But a few months ago I resolved to washing less, most especially to avoid using as much heat to style so often. So now I go several days between washes, usually washing on the third or fourth day... and my hair can get pretty oily! I like that the natural oils are nourishing my hair but I like for my hair to feel clean after I wash it and other shampoos were not doing the trick. I would have to wash really well two times to achieve my desired level of cleanliness. With the Maple Holistics shampoo I only have to wash once, saving me time and money AND it is less impactful on the environment. I rinse my hair with very warm water to loosen the oils up and then I split my hair just above my ears and put a little more than a quarter size amount of the product on the bottom half of my scalp, concentrating on massaging it into my scalp and the roots of my hair and letting it set (not pulling it through to the ends) while I do the same at the crown of my head. I usually let it sit for a minute or so while I wash and then I add a bit of water and a little conditioner and massage it into the rest of my hair. After rinsing I condition, concentrating mostly on the ends and trying not to massage into my scalp too much. Then I rinse with cooler water after a minute or so. Now back to the bit where I said I add a little conditioner when I lather the Shampoo for Oily, Itchy and Greasy hair... I found in the first times I used it that, although working nicely to break down the oils, that it was maybe a little too effective, leaving my hair feeling very dry. So I tried letting it set on my scalp for less time but it didn't change the result (and I have found that that step is really beneficial in helping to calm the sebaceous glands, so much so that, at about the half-used mark of my first bottle, I have already noticed that my hair is less oily for the first couple of days after washing). So I decided to see what it would be like to add the conditioner and, wa-la! It felt much better! Before, I didn't feel comfortable running my fingers through after washing, before conditioning, because my hair felt too dry. That being said, the result of having overly-cleaned hair was something I actually expected, given the nature of the product, and it most certainly isn't a deterrent to me continuing to use it. My one suggestion would be to search for a way to make it a little gentler on hair, perhaps coconut or Moroccan oil, if that doesn't tamper with the effectiveness of the product. I will continue to use this shampoo and can't wait to try other products too! I have already told a couple people about it at Thanksgiving dinner! Oh, I almost forgot the mention that it smells great and gives a nice little tingling feeling. Cheers!

Update the second: If you're still struggling with greasy hair while using this, you may have hard water. I got a weekly clarifying shampoo to complement this shampoo. (Odele is great for getting hard water deposits out!) Combined with a silicone shampoo brush and a weekly salycilic acid conditioner, my hair is finally normal, and this shampoo is the center of my hair care routine! Update: I first purchased this in November of 2023, and have only had to buy a new bottle once. Just a little foams up beautifully, and the shampoo itself lets me go 3-4 days between hair washing so one bottle lasts a good long while. I haven't had any major issues with dryness, but I apply a protein mask to my hair ends once a month. Most importantly, I have MCAS, and my immune system often reacts to shampoo once I've used it enough times, but I haven't had that issue with this shampoo. It doesn't trigger any reactions, and it's soothed my itchy scalp. I'm sold. I won't need any other shampoo. I'm disabled, and I'm often bed bound, or I don't have the ability to wash my hair (can wash myself but not my hair), leading to long days between showers, which leads to greasy hair that makes my scalp a nightmare of itching. I've tried a lot of shampoos, and all of them were "clarifying" or simply "invigorating," or they have Sodium Laurel Sulfate- which I'm horribly allergic to. I was close to simply buzzing my hair out of desperation, and to ease things for me- this shampoo was literally one of my last two options. I waited a few weeks to see how it worked, and I am so glad I ordered it. This shampoo has let me go up to 3-4 days between washes, and it's eased the itching of my scalp. My hair is soft, manageable, and doesn't get as greasy as quickly. It has a very herbal scent, which some people might not like, but I love it. It smells fresh and clean and almost reminds me of a rainy forest morning. Also, despite the lack of SLS, it still lathers up well enough, and I haven't needed conditioner afterwards. It's a bit pricey, but I will continue to get this shampoo, because it's increased my quality of life in the hygiene department!

Kept my hair nice and soft, did make my hair feel clean and thick without any of that grease

I have combination (dry sensitive and oily) scalp and this caused my scalp and hair to be super dry. And in turn causes my hair to drop even more. On the other hand, my partner has oily scalp only, and he said it combat his scalp condition.

Produit d'une très bonne qualité !

Fenomenal, me da mucho volumen y me dura más tiempo limpio. Gran producto que siempre recomiendo a todos mis amigos

My hair is very greasy and i need to wash it everyday. After using this shampoo i reach the second and it doesnt look that oily . Will buy this product again.

Gran producto. He usado distintas marcas para cabello graso (muy graso) y sin duda está a cumplido con MI objetivo, mantener 24 horas el cabello sin aspecto mojado y sucio. A mí me ha funcionado.
