Frequently asked questions
Does Head & Shoulders remove hair dye or strip colour?
Anti-dandruff and deep-cleansing shampoos can fade coloured or dyed hair a little faster than a gentle colour-care shampoo, because they clean thoroughly. If you colour your hair, use it as your scalp needs rather than every single wash, and follow with a colour-care conditioner.
Is Head & Shoulders a clarifying shampoo?
Head & Shoulders is primarily an anti-dandruff shampoo, and while it cleans thoroughly it is not specifically a clarifying shampoo for removing product build-up. It does offer a Deep Cleanse range if a deeper clean is what you are after.
Is Head & Shoulders bad for your hair?
No - Head & Shoulders is a normal cosmetic shampoo that is fine for everyday use and designed to be gentle enough to use regularly. If your hair or scalp feels dry, choose one of its moisturising or dry-scalp variants and use a conditioner.
Does Head & Shoulders cause hair loss?
No, Head & Shoulders does not cause hair loss or baldness; it is an anti-dandruff shampoo, and looking after a flaky, itchy scalp is actually good for healthy hair. If you are worried about genuine hair thinning or loss, speak to your GP or pharmacist about the cause.
Does Head & Shoulders actually work?
For most people Head & Shoulders helps control dandruff and an itchy, flaky scalp with regular use, using active ingredients that target the causes of dandruff. If your dandruff is severe or does not improve, a pharmacist can suggest a medicated alternative.
