Works

have lots of fine hair and sensitive scalp and for years used 'Scalp benefits' which worked well for me but it tended to dry my hair so I balanced it with the quite moisturising 'Shampure' conditioner. I recently tried 'Scalp solutions' and I'm very pleased. My hair looks healthier and stays looking that way on day 2 which is brilliant because I try to wash my hair every other day.

Aggravated itchy scalp

Bought it as a trial and high hopes but turned out to be a complete disaster. I don't mind it doesn't lather well, the worst sin of this product that it aggravates already itchy scalp. It looks to me that the reformulation meant replacing one decent shampoo with a line of products that needs to be used together to achieve the same results (if only). I will be staying away from Aveda from now on.

Bring back Scalp Benefits

Scalp Benefits had been my favorite shampoo and conditioner. It doesn’t make sense as to why Aveda discontinued it. I’ve been using Scalp Solutions for a year, but unfortunately it’s not as good as Scalp Benefits. Plus, it’s not available in the 33.8 oz. option to make it a more economical choice. Until I find something else, I’ve reordered the shampoo, but have stopped using the conditioner. Aveda better start rethinking their corporate decisions, because their loyal customers will leave if they don’t.

Detox

This shampoo is an excellent detox shampoo that really helps refresh my hair and scalp. I like to use it on days when I’ve used a lot of dry shampoo, styling products, or anything that tends to build up over time. It does a great job of breaking down all that residue and leaving my hair feeling clean and light again. After using it, my hair always feels extra soft, bouncy, and full of volume without feeling stripped or dry. It has a pleasant herbal scent that’s refreshing but not overpowering, and it lingers lightly after my hair dries. Overall, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for something that deeply cleanses while still keeping your hair healthy and manageable.

Nice gentle shampoo

If you are finding your scalp is a bit irritated and grumpy this is a great shampoo to try. Even though it does smell botanical it’s not harsh and leaves your head feeling clean and not irritated. If you are looking for something gentle that still has a nice fragrance, this is worth a try.
