The product

If dryness, dandruff, frizz and split ends are your hair nemeses, then you’ve probably spent a pretty penny on hair products to nix them.

But what if we told you a supermarket solution might just solve all your problems...

Introducing Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky Shampoo and Conditioner. Designed for everyday use, this new formula is extra gentle on scalp and hair, and is now with 0 per cent parabens, phosphates and paraffins. The duo leaves hair soft, silky and easy to manage, thanks to its moisturising ingredients. Plus, both the shampoo and conditioner feature a 3ActionFormula to deliver 100 per cent dandruff-free and itch protection to the scalp.

Our panel of Review Crew® testers put this smoothing shampoo and conditioner to the test...

The panel

Beauty Crew sent Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky Shampoo and Conditioner to a panel of women aged 18-64 who suffer from a dry, itchy scalp and flakes.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky Shampoo and Conditioner.

The new formula: Members who had previously used Head & Shoulders were impressed by the new no-nasties formula. They loved that the shampoo and conditioner both no longer contain parabens, phosphates and paraffins.

Scalp-soothing perks: Majority of our members found that with continued use of the shampoo and conditioner, the flakiness and itchiness of their scalps was significantly reduced.

The smooth, shiny results: Our reviewers really loved how soft and smooth their hair felt after washing with both products. Those with frizz found the duo worked well to tame it, without weighing the hair down.

The verdict

"I was really happy with this shampoo. I didn’t need to use a lot of product and it lathered up beautifully. My hair felt hydrated after using it and didn’t feel stripped. My hair and scalp felt clean and fresh."

"I was very surprised about this Head and Shoulders Smooth & Silky Conditioner, their products have always been a hit and a miss but this time round, I’m actually impressed. I suffer from a dry, itchy scalp and this conditioner was able to reduce the dryness by a lot and relieve my itchy scalp without stripping my natural oils. Not only was that a huge difference but I also noticed my hair wasn’t as frizzy as normal, had some shine and felt really smooth."

"I am sensitive to fragrance and did not experience any issues with this product. This range is really the best in keeping my scalp healthy and my hair smooth and silky at the same time. I have also noticed that I have less hair fall now which was really surprising. Not to mention the fresh scent of this product."
