It is a no for me

Originally posted on aveda.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I was recommended this at the aveda counter. I suffer from sebhouric dermatitis and was suggested I try this because it may help. I have curly but fine hair and a sensitive scalp. When I used this I felt like my hair was stripped of all moisture and it made my hair feel really dry and brittle after. I did not like how it made my hair feel. I wish I could return and for a full refund. I will not be using it again. I do not recommend for Afro hair for sure.

Utterly disappointed

Originally posted on aveda.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

Bought this to combat an itchy and dry scalp after using the Scalp benefits conditioner which is wonderfully soothing along with the Shampure shampoo. However, the Scalp benefits shampoo only made matters worse as it completely dries out my scalp and hair and leaves leaving an irritating itchy scalp and hair in desperate need of moisture. Don't understand the formula. Have been an avid Aveda fan for years but the last few products I've tried to combat my itchy dry scalp have been a total disaster.

Amazing Shampoo

Originally posted on aveda.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

This shampoo is AMAZING. I suffer with an oily and itchy scalp and normal have to wash my hair every other day. However, since swapping to this shampoo, my hair only needs washing twice a week!!!! It lathers really well and I give my hair a double cleanse for best results. My hair is easy to comb even without a conditioner, shining and smelling herbally fresh. It also doesn't leave my grey hair brassy looking like other shampoos. I also get less shedding with this shampoo. Hands down the best shampoo I have ever used.

Not good for me

Originally posted on aveda.co.uk

I have itchy scalp and sensitive and it made my scalp worse, full of dandruff, I was hoping that I had found a shampoo to help me, sadly its not the case. I have naturally curly hair and has helped the curls, butnot the scalp. I would return if I could.

The best shampoo

Yes, I recommend this

I’ve had an itchy, inflamed scalp for years any this is the only product that works for me. It’s so good I bought some for my mother who was suffering with the hard water since she moved to the South East. She’s a huge fan too!

Me: normal scalp, but sensitive, prone to dandruff, often itchy and sore. I have been using this shampoo once a week since October and it has changed my life. My scalp is happy, rarely itchy and no dandruff whatsoever. My hair feels soft and smooth, even if I don't use conditioner. This shampoo is expensive, but it last a long time, I have only used about 40% of the 1L bottle. It smells like herbal medicine, in a way I find very soothing and pleasant. Best shampoo I have ever used!

I enjoy trying different (Aveda) shampoos but always come back to Scalp Benefits. Works really well for my fine hair and sensitive skin. Aveda introduce many new products but I sincerely hope this one stands the test of time - it has for me.

Fantastic shampoo for oily scalp

Yes, I recommend this

I returned to Aveda products after a couple of years of trying other brands and am delighted I did. I have waist length relatively thick hair that gets dry ends but a very oily scalp. This shampoo lets me wash my hair every 3 days rather than every other day and even then it’s still not too greasy. Doesn’t dry the hair out just balances the scalp. Only use a teeny bit. Well worth the £
