The Body ShopGinger Scalp Care Shampoo – For Dry, Flaky Scalps – With Vegan Silk Protein – 400ml

Where to start.... So I have always had Seb Derm but as soon as I moved to Florida in 2017 it was the absolute worst it had ever been! I had insane red itchy hot spots and disgusting huge flakes of skin just stuck to my scalp that were so noticeable, I have super thick hair but it was constantly falling out! I had to shower at least once a day just to keep it some what under control pain wise. Then a miracle happened! My friend introduced me to Monat Shampoo in mid-2017 and it really seemed to be helping, the redness and pain had subsided but the giant flakes were still an issue. About a year ago when they changed their packaging I think they changed their formula because I started having the same issues or maybe my hair just got used to it and it was no longer effective! So I was on a mission to find something that actually worked! I spent weeks researching shampoos (mind you I’ve even tried prescription ones to no avail) and then I kept seeing this one on lists over and over again, The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo. People raved about how it helped their seb derm, the only real down side I kept reading about was the smell but I’m like heck, if it’ll help me poor head I’ll try anything! So I bit the bullet and purchased The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo and The Body Shop Ginger Conditioner. It arrives, honestly, I don’t know what everyone is complaining about it really is not that bad... it just kind of smells like ones of those ginger candies, slightly medicinal but not overwhelming. For the first couple of weeks I alternated using the Monat shampoo and the Ginger shampoo and conditioner (every other ginger shampoo) and then just the ginger shampoo, completely phasing out the Monat. And OMG let me tell you! My flakes are gone not even a little one, no redness and now I can go more than 2-3 days between washing my hair!! I even use it on my eyebrows when they start to flake up as well! I have been using this shampoo since the end of May and I’m so happy it’s worked for my Seb Derm! But now... the not so great... again, I have really thick hair so I feel like I use quite a bit of the product but there is still a little left in the 13.5oz after 2+ months so that’s not too bad. It’s not moisturizing at all, my hair isn’t brittle but it isn’t particularly soft either, and the conditioner is completely useless. I’m still using the Monat leave in conditioner until I find something better just to be able to get the knots out of my hair. And because it’s not moisturizing it’s doesn’t add the weight which brings your hair down so in turn it actually makes it thicker and more fluffy especially in this Florida humidity! But with all that being said! I still would rather not have a horrible itchy, painful scalp with disgustingly huge pieces of skin falling off my scalp! I’m so glad I found this product! Anyone recommend a conditioner that won’t wreck my progress?

You need such a little bit of this shampoo to wash your hair . Well worth the price. It dmells wonderful and leaves the hair nice and soft . No need for conditioner!

I’ve been dealing with a dry, itchy scalp for a while, especially during the colder months, and decided to give this shampoo a try based on some solid reviews—and I’m glad I did. After about a week of consistent use, I noticed a big difference in how calm and clean my scalp felt. It’s not an instant fix, but it does work if you give it a little time.The scent is strong—very gingery and herbal—but personally, I like it. It smells clean and refreshing without being too overpowering once your hair dries. It lathers well too, even though it’s sulfate-free, which I wasn’t expecting.A couple tips if you’re thinking of trying it:Let it sit on your scalp for a minute or two before rinsing. I find that helps the active ingredients actually do their thing.Follow up with a light conditioner just on the ends, not the scalp, to avoid build-up (especially if your hair is prone to dryness).Be consistent—use it 2–3 times a week if you have moderate flakes or itch. I tried alternating it with a moisturizing shampoo to keep things balanced.I knocked off one star because it can be a little drying if used too often and the bottle’s a bit small for the price, but otherwise this is a solid option if you're struggling with flakes or irritation. Worth a try!

Before using this product I had tried everything under the sun for dandruff - heads and shoulder, fancy anti dandruff shampoo, oils, etc, and this is the ONLY thing that helped me. I use it every time I wash my hair and it’s honestly been a life saver. The smell is pretty good too!!

just love herbal-infused, ginger shampoo. it never fails me. will buy more.

I am not one who washes my hair every day. It is more like once, maybe twice, a week. Every winter, I get a dry, itchy scalp, and I am constantly scratching my head to the point of dandruff or some kind of dermatitis that causes flakes in my hair. And every winter I try to find products to alleviate this issue. This year, I did a coconut oil treatment and while I waited, I went on Amazon and found this and the conditioner. After reading the reviews and doing some quick research, I decided to try it. It arrived the next evening. That was a couple of weeks ago. I have washed and conditioned my hair about three times with this product and it has made such a difference. I do not itch anymore. I am seeing less and less dandruff. The smell is a little different than I am used to, but it isn't unpleasant. Had I known about this, I would have tried it a long time ago. If you battle the same problems I do, just buy it. It's not too expensive and the relief I feel is sooo worth it!((I wrote the same review for the conditioner.))

I stored it for a long time until this week. I used it four days ago, and the shampoo is good to make foams. Feel refresh after washing the hair. However, I feel there's a weird smelling after using it, very light, but you might still smell it. Maybe it's the ginger smelling. I am sure it's not a smelling from any conditioner because I didn't use one. I need to use more time and get used to it.

Once you start using this ginger shampoo, you would dump all other brands of shampoo to the trash. I’ve tried different brands of shampoo in the past years, but none of them solve the issue of dandruff and scalp itchiness until I finally tried this one. I feel my scalp is becoming more healthy than before and recently I even noticed I have new hairs growing out by the hairline. I would recommend this best shampoo to everyone.
