What Makes the Head & Shoulders Scalp Care Collection Different?
- Organised by scalp concern: the collection is split into three routines (oily, dry and flaky, itchy), each with its own bottle colour.
- Two leave-on treatments: the serum and spray are applied without rinsing. Both use a higher 3% HydraSC+ Complex, compared with 2% in the rinse-off products.
- A pre-shampoo step: Scalp Purify starts with a salicylic acid treatment that is applied before shampooing.
Formulas and Packaging
- Clarify Pre-Shampoo: Head & Shoulders says it loosens oil, build-up and flakes before shampooing. It is applied before the Scalp Purify Shampoo.
- Volumizing Shampoo: the brand says it removes up to 99% of oil, flakes and build-up "when using Scalp Purify Pre-Shampoo & Shampoo." It also claims 5x more volume versus unwashed hair. The shampoo is described as colour-safe.
- Nourishing Shampoo: the brand says it locks in scalp moisture for 72 hours and helps restore the scalp barrier. It is free of sulfated surfactants and colour-safe.
- Conditioner, Deep Hydration: this is step 2 of the Scalp Restore routine. According to the brand, it delivers a 72-hour moisture lock "with Scalp Restore Shampoo and Conditioner system."
- Leave-On Serum: this is a lightweight, non-greasy treatment applied to a wet scalp and not rinsed out. It is another leave-on scalp format, like the COLOR WOW Youth Juice Collagen Scalp Serum.
- Cooling Shampoo: Head & Shoulders says it gives an instant cooling feel and reduces dandruff-related itch, irritation and flakes.
- Cooling Spray: this is a leave-on spray. The brand directs using it up to four times daily between washes, massaging it in without rinsing.
Head & Shoulders describes the collection as clinically proven and calls itself America's #1 dermatologist-recommended dandruff shampoo brand. These are the brand's own claims.
