Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, Gentle Non-Irritating Clarifying Shampoo to Remove Hair Build-Up & Residue, 6 fl. oz

Great product! This shampoo removed months/years of product build-up in my hair that I didn't even know I had. After just one wash, my hair felt lighter, finer, more voluminous, and I needed less styling products to achieve the same results. But be careful not to use this too often as it can dry out your hair. I have long, dark fine hair and I use this about once every 2 weeks, or once every 4-5 washes.

I use this before I color my hair with semi-permanent dye (specifically manic panic) to make sure my hair is as clean as possible so the dye will fill the hair shaft better. It works for this purpose, and I seem to get a better dye job than using regular shampoo before hand.However, despite what the write-up says DO NOT use this on color treated hair, unless you’re trying to remove color.I personally think this shampoo stinks, but I only use it once every couple months so I can live with it.As others have mentioned, it will make your hair dry. It makes my hair very tangled. I use a hair mask afterwards while I dye my hair, so it doesn’t last long for me, but you definitely want to use some kind of in-shower or leave-in conditioner (or both) afterwards.

I have struggled with having greasy hair my whole life- a few hours after washing, my hair gets weighed down and almost wet looking. It is very embarrassing and I have looked all over for products that will fix this problem. I read AWESOME reviews about this product- how it has changed peoples greasy hair and how they dont have to wash their hair every single day anymore. I wanted this to work on my hair so bad, but unfortunately, it did not. I could argue that it made my hair even more greasy. My hair did feel more light and clean after showering, but when I woke up the next day, my hair looked very wet and I had to get another shower. I've tried this multiple times and I get the same result- greasier hair the day after. This product works differently for different people, and unfortunately, it did not work for me.

Bought this to make a vitamin C hair mask* to fade my hair color so I could do a color correction on it after it came out too dark for my liking. As with most clarifying shampoos, I found it to be drying so I did a conditioning mask on my hair afterward because conditioner itself didn't feel like enough. It claims to be gentle on color-treated hair but I wouldn't use it unless I was actively trying to fade the color or dry it out.*I mixed a small amount of the shampoo with about 7500mg of crushed vitamin C tablets until it formed a paste and applied it to wet hair for an hour and washed + conditioned like normal to lighten my hair by several shades.

I love this shampoo as for once-a-month use to remove excess products such as leave-on conditioners etc. I have dry, curly hair and need very moisturizing conditioners and leave-on products, but those can build up over time (even washing hair three times a week). This anti-residue shampoo resets the air and makes it feel so light and clean. I've been using it for over two decades. Unfortunately it's really hard to find this in mortar-and-brick stores nowadays for some strange reason (and I live in a big-ish city) so I'm happy to find it on Amazon at a great price.

This does a great job getting the build-up out of my hair. I have flat, straight oily hair naturally; it gets very stringy very quickly. Also, I think there are some minerals resulting in hardness in my water that is causing build-up in my hair. I don't use any hair products other than shampoo and conditioner, so I don't have an issue with mousse build-up or anything, so I can't attest to if this works on that. I have been using this once a week for over a month now. It always leave my hair very clean looking. My sister bought some too after I started using it. She has much more volume in her hair, and she does use hair products. She says it leaves her hair clean and bouncy after her weekly use.However, I did get my hair dyed this week. My stylist reviewed the product and ingredients and said not to use it anymore unless I wanted all the color to leave quickly.

I absolutely love this shampoo. I have thick but fine, curly hair. I get a lot of build up because of the products I use to define my curls and control frizz. Curly hair is very dry so shampooing daily is a no-no. This shampoo is perfect because I can use it on my roots once (sometimes twice) a week to cut down any build up. I highly recommend for anyone who uses a lot of products but isn't able to shampoo often.The scent is VERY strong. I don't mind it much anymore but it does linger all day. If you're prone to headaches from strong scents, this may not be for you.

False advertising, they advertise a three pack but all you get is a single pack. On top of that mine leaked out so I was missing about an inch from the top.
