Lynx Just Clean Shampoo
by headsore
I am a bloke who likes the Lynx range of products and for this reason I was well chuffed when I found some Lynx Just Clean Shampoo on an offer of buy two for a fiver. They normally retail at the ridiculous price of £3.50 for a 300ml bottle, which I think is way too expensive. I hadn't used a Lynx shampoo before, so I didn't know what ... to expect. I have, however, used their deodorant and body spray and I have been very pleased with the quality of the products in this range, so I was expecting it to be fairly good, at least, especially considering the price.
I have used this shampoo a few times now over the past few weeks. My other half has resisted the urge to try this out herself - unlike me, who uses every kind of shampoo she buys. I liked the way this bottle stands up in the shower and doesn't easily topple over, due to its shape.
The shampoo itself is a pale blue gel like formula and comes out of the dispenser easily. It is a fairly thick consistency and it lathers really well. I only need a small amount and this creates plenty of lather to cover my long red hair, facial beard and almost the rest of my body - especially if I use the other half's little scrubber thing se often has hanging up in the shower!
The small of the shampoo is great too. It's a very blokey kind of smell, not at all girly or feminine and it rinses off well without any bother at all. I am well-impressed with this shampoo.
I don't think there is any need to use a conditioner afterwards, either, as I found that all of my hair (head and entire body) was soft and downy yet not prone to fly away ends. It seemed more manageable and definitely more under control - especially the beard. I smelled nice for ages afterwards, too, and it made me feel fresh and clean and quite 'lively'.
Overall, I do really rate this shampoo for blokes. I don't think a woman would be quite so impressed though, due to the packaging and / or the smell, but I do rate it and highly recommend it.

Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh Shampoo
by headsore
The last few weeks we have been using Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh Shampoo. My dear other half has a lot of scalp and skin problems and she has a chronic dandruff problem but she also suffers from greasy hair to boot. A friend of hers suggested Head and Shoulders and as it is a brand we have used many times before we decided to give ... this a try.
My other half used it first and then I used it after her as she had left it lying on the rack in the shower. I was pleased with the smell of this shampoo as it is very fresh and natural and citric - which shouldn't really have been a surprise. I was also expecting a thick off white coloured cream shampoo when actually this stuff is a nice shade of bright green - not unlike the colour of our Fairy Liquid!
The first time I used it I was quite impressed that it lathered very well and I didn't have to use a great deal. Like all shampoos, I used this all over my body and on my facial beard and I was pleased with the results on my all over body hairiness, not just the hair on my head. I have used it several times since and so has my other half.
The shampoo rinses off very well and afterwards we are both left smelling like a couple of lemons - but with nicely clean and fresh hair. The smell lasts a long time after the hair has been dried and I find I am generally in a good hairy condition after I have been dried off. My other half is also impressed as she says that her dandruff has improved since she has started to use this and also her hair does look in slightly better condition (but only slightly, she still has a long way to go).
Personally, it has done wonders for my beard (which is 47 inches long) and it no longer flies off in all directions but I am finding that it has become a lot more manageable. Many people have even complimented me on my beard as well as my hair at work lately, and I think that this is since I have been using this great head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh - so it must be doing some good.
It's not expensive, at less than £2 a bottle and it lasts a long time because as I say, you don't actually need to use very much.
Overall, I am very pleased with this great shampoo and highly recommend it.

Johnson's Baby Shampoo
by daisylee3
I've been using the no more tears baby shampoo by Johnson's from day one since my daughter Erin was born. I haven't once used another brand of shampoo on my baby as I've been really pleased with how gentle and effective this is. I stocked up on ten bottles of this shampoo earlier in the year while I was still pregnant as the whole ... Johnson's range was on offer at the time in my local Tesco's. Although I was tempted to buy the Tesco's own brand of baby shampoo as it was cheaper, I opted for Johnson's as I feel that it is a very well known, trust worthy and high quality brand which has been around for years. I was a little overwhelmed at first by the sheer amount of choice I had - you'd think baby shampoo would be a simple enough product with just one or perhaps two versions to choose from, but nope - there's everything from scented and nourishing to detangling shampoo - pretty confusing when you're a first time mummy and want the best for baby but there's so many different claims from manufacturers that you don't know what is best. After a browse I decided on this, as it seemed to be the most gentle and it is also suitable for newborns.
I paid just £1 per 330ml bottle of the shampoo as it was on offer, and I am really pleased that I stocked up while it was reduced as the RRP is around the £1.95 to £2 mark, which soon adds up. As far as I know, most (if not all) supermarkets sell this shampoo and it can be found pretty easily online too on sites such as Amazon. I've also seen it in vairous other shops including Boots and Superdrug, so it's very easy to get hold of. This shampoo appealed to me mainly because of the 'no more tears' claim - it is designed to be very gentle not only on the baby's hair, scalp and skin but it is also tested to make sure that if it does come into contatct with the baby's eyes it will not burn or cause pain, hence why Johnson's describe it as being as 'gentle as pure water'. They claim that they have tested this against other brands of baby shampoo who market the product as been gentle, but Johnson's state that unlike their product, they always find faults.
The shampoo has a mild formula and is said to be ideal for cleansing baby's delicate hair and scalp. The shampoo comes in a decent sized bottle which is transparent, which I find very handy. As the bottle is clear, the yellow liquid can be seen through the bottle and the branding on the bottle is also yellow with blue font stating the brand and product name. A pictre of a tear drop is also included but all in all the branding is simplistic, unisex and it is also quite eye catching so it is easy to spot in the supermarket. The bottle has a flip lid which ensures not too much of the shampoo comes out at once. I find that while I am bathing my daughter the bottle is too heavy to hold and squeeze with one hand so I usually squeeze a blob into a small container so that I'm not struggling with baby in one hand and shampoo bottle in the other. The shampoo itself is a pale yellow colour and it has a noticeable smell once the bottle is open.
The scent is gentle and very fresh with the lovely talc kind of scent which makes it smell like a baby product. As my daughter has mounds of gorgeous dark hair, I wanted something that would leave it smelling fresh as well as cleansing it so this was ideal. The consistency of this is a lot thinner and runnier than normal shampoo, but it's not so runny that it's hard to use. I only need a 5 pence piece sized blob to completely cover my baby's hair as it lathers well and a little goes a long way. The shampoo comes out of my daughters hair easily and leaves no residue etc behind. Her hair always feels soft and cleansed and it smells lovely too. There's been no issues with sensetivity and although it has never made contact with her eyes (so far) it seems to be gentle enough and theres been no reactions on her skin or scalp.
The cleansing effect of the shampoo lasts for ages, as does the smell and I only need to wash her hair when I feel it is nescessary - at the minute I bathe her everyday but wash her hair once every two days. Once I begin weaning though I imagine I will need to wash it a lot more frequently as I have a horrible feeling she'll end up with blobs of food in her hair haha. Her hair doesn't knot much at all luckily so I can't comment at how well this is at getting knots out but I am overall happy with how effective it is and I reccomend it.
