Gentle Herb Shampoo

I really don't understand why this didn't work for me, it left my hair feeling unwashed and very snarly. I absolutely had to use conditioner because it was so bad, I suffer from psoriasis and it's been quite the battle. I need suggestions, I want to love your product seeing as how everyone else did.

I'm so happy I found this shampoo. I've been searching for a silicone-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, fragrance-free, essential oil-free shampoo that could also tackle my dry scalp issues! I couldn't find anything that remotely served my needs until I found Odylique. I'm in the US and the price is a bit high compared to domestic shampoos, and I am going through this pretty quickly due to my ridiculously thick hair, but this shampoo is SO worth it. The first time I tried it my scalp immediately felt calmer and less flaky. I use generous amounts, spend 3-5 minutes massaging it into my hair and scalp, and leave the shampoo on for another 2-3 minutes. I shampoo 2-3x a week. I don't need to use any conditioner or even any product- my hair is usually really frizzy and unruly, but this shampoo has tamed it! I just wish that this shampoo came in much larger sizes- 32 to 64 oz, because it goes too quickly. Thank you Odylique!!

This shampoo is lovely and does what it says in the description. I suffer from eczema and a dry scalp and it is so nice to use - doesn't lather up as much so you know it doesn't contain harsh chemicals etc. and is what it says. Love it!

This shampoo is brilliant. Very fresh and relaxing in scent. You do need to use more than the usual shampoos but the quality of the clean more than makes up for this! Also, very glad it comes in multiple sizes.

After hunting high and low for an SLS shampoo, I settled for this one and haven't been disappointed. It does the job perfectly, and is so much less hassle than using a separate shampoo & conditioner. And I love that it contains only natural ingredients. Well done Odylique!

I have to say that I was apprehensive to try this shampoo as I always found that natural shampoos leave a kind of horrible feeling/layer to my hair which gets worse the more you use it. This however is amazing. I don't need conditioner, which I can't get my head around, as normally if I don't have conditioner my hair gets tangled to the point I can't get a brush through it. This herb shampoo leaves my hair smelling nice, feeling gorgeously soft and it has a lovely shine to it. More importantly from the first wash my head stopped itching. (Every shop bought shampoo caused my head to itch.) I love it so much I will never use anything else!! I put it on my hair and leave it, whist I shave my legs etc, for the 2-3 minutes as suggested. If you are unsure, just try it.

I've been using this shampoo for the past 16 years since I was introduced to the original version. It's gone through a few formulation and packaging changes but having tried a few others in the meantime I always come back to it. Anything with the words sodium, laurel, sulphate in it in any permutation or variation make my scalp sore and this has the shortest ingredient list of anything I've found. It lasts for ages and it's also the only shampoo that doesn't need a conditioner alongside. I always make sure I have a spare in hand as I'd hate to be without it. This and the Timeless Rose moisturiser would have to be my "desert island" toiletries! For those who feel they do need a conditioner - persevere. I was told in the beginning it takes awhile for the hair to adjust.

I used the shampoo for the first time yesterday. I felt like I had to keep applying more and more as I've used to other shampoos in the past and one part was quite knotted but I'm sure the more I use it the less I'll want to add lots to my hair. What I loved was that my hair felt squeaky clean afterwards. I blow dried without putting on my usual Argan oil and my hair was/is so shiny. I'm pleased I've purchased this and look forward to my next hair wash!

I liked to consider myself as a bit of a greenie, but for some reason always used non-organic, expensive salon shampoos. Don't ask me why :-) I never really considered why my scalp was always itchy either. I put it down to my genetics, rather than the products I used. I persevered with this shampoo, as truth be told I didn't immediately like it either. But what I did notice a few months later, was that I no longer had an itchy scalp, or little pimples either. So I've continued to use this shampoo and have grown to love it because inadvertently it has taught me something about my tunnel vision over 'hair'. (I was organic in food and skin care, but ignored hair...... quite silly really) !

I am very impressed with this product, my hair has never been so soft without using an additional conditioner. I only need to use a small amount at a time, lasting longer. I also only need to use one amount of shampoo when I wash my hair, I have always washed my hair through twice previously. I am now going to try some of the other products by Odylique.

I love this shampoo! I alternate between this and the tea tree & herb shampoo and think my preference slightly leans towards the tea tree one. However, both are equally fabulous and gently sooth and cleanse the way nature intended, not strip out the goodness as other shampoos do! My scalp is healthier, my hair is shinier and thicker and the skin on my poor cracked hands is not aggravated by it, the way it is with the other chemical filled nasties! I bought the two shampoos back in September 2016 and they are still going strong! They may be that bit more expensive than your other shampoos but I can truly say they are well worth the money as my skin health alone is thanking me for it! Keep up the good work Odylique :)

I'm new to the range and it's fair to say, I had high expectations particularly for this product. Having used it for the first time today, I disagree and feel that you do need conditioner. My hair is a mixed bag. Medium/long with flamoboyage highlights, my scalp can be itchy and flaky but it does get oily quickly as I have fine hair. Obviously, with colour, your hair can be slightly drier on the ends but overall, my hair isn't dry. When applying the product, I could instantly tell there wasn't enough moisture and it was hard to massage though my hair. Once I towel dried my hair, it was very hard to comb. Unfortunately, you will need a separate conditioner for longer, dry or coloured hair in my opinion. Love the concept and quality of the products, I'm sorry Odylique that this didn't work for me.

Because our shampoos are 100% natural and based entirely on gentle non-sulphate cleansers and a high concentration of organic vitamin and mineral-rich botanicals, they are so kind and conditioning to hair and scalp, that a separate conditioner is not usually necessary. Aloe juice, rosemary, chamomile, biodynamic nettle and horsetail are packed with nutrients including chlorophyll, iron and silica which promote a healthy scalp and hair growth. Coconut is absorbed deep into the hair shaft for improved condition, manageability and shine.
Commercial shampoos and conditioners often contain silicone which coats the hair shaft to increase comb-ability and shine, disguising rather than addressing any underlying damage. They can also build up over time making hair lank and heavy.
Switching to a botanical based shampoo containing natural, active hair nutrients should avoid the need for a separate conditioner, but if your hair has underlying damage or is chemically treated, we recommend scrunching a tiny spot of Organic Ultra Rich Balm into hair ends after shampooing until the condition improves. Or give your hair an overnight intensive treatment mask by applying a very small amount to your scalp using fingertips, comb through, cover head with a shower cap (or protect pillow with a towel) and shampoo out well in the morning.
