Johnsons Junior Shampoo

Having already tried out the Johnsons Junior shampoo for tangled hair, and found it easy to use and effective, when I saw this one for sale at £1, it was definitely time to give it a try. It claims to be easy rinse, so I reckoned it would be handy after Little Miss had been swimming; she does tend to insist on washing her own hair, and often the rinsing part of the proceedings leaves a lot to be desired.

Like all the Johnsons Junior products, this has been heavily advertised, so ever the sucker for the power of advertising, I bought a bottle to see how it went, and was suitably impressed, although Liking as I do the Johnsons products, I was ready to be happy with it.

~~Product and Packaging~~

The product comes in a rather snazzy 250ml yellow bottle with some little creature on the front washing his hair in a mass of suds- sure to appeal to children.


It tells me that it is one of the no more tears Johnsons products, so all good things, because should any shampoo sting her eyes, I soon know about it! The shampoo itself is supposed to rinse clean with less water which is great news when I am standing waiting for her at the showers, and no, she WON’T have any help.

The applicator is one of those push down nozzles so even that is easy to use. Press down, remembering that one press is enough, and out comes the foam…yes, it’s foam so even that is a good idea because it’s less likely to run out of a small person’s hand and end up down the plug. The foam is white with a very very faint pink tinge to it, and has a very pleasant fruity whiff!


~~Using it~~

Really easy, as shampoo for children should be. Press down the applicator nozzle, remembering to keep hand at the ready, and massage gently into the hair, rinsing after full massage has been completed.

I will impress that only a small amount is needed, because a little bit really does go a long way, and makes a very satisfying amount of bubbles. Fine for adults but for children in the shower post swimming, it can be a bit of a nightmare. I usually squirt only the required amount into her hand because she likes the smell and the feel of the foam so left to her, this would so not be easy rinse, but would be nightmare rinse!

~~Who is it for?~~

The shampoo is marketed for children, and the picture on the bottle suggests it is for young children. However, I don't think there is any reason why adults shouldn't use it. It is, after all, a nice gentle shampoo; himself suffers from a dry scalp, and when he commandeers it, informs me that he suffers no adverse reaction.

~~Price and Availability~~

Widely available from chemists and supermarkets, this costs about £1.99 from boots for 250ml.

~~Other Bits of information…~~

Also available is the Easy Comb shampoo which I have also used and found to be very good.

Made by Johnson and Johnson

~~What we Think of it~~

It was bound to be a hit. Very rarely does Little Miss ever ask for a specific shampoo; this, however, was carefully marketed. Each time we switched on Nick Jnr, we had this on the screen (or so it seemed) along with a very catchy shampoo song. Being a teacher, I did notice that lots of children were singing what they called the shampoo song. Oh the powers of marketing and a clever little song.

From my point of view, I do like the product. I have used Johnson products on the children for years, and so was happy to buy something which I was certain I could trust.

The shampoo is easy to use and comes in an appealing bottle- just right for carrying to the showers. It has a nice but not overpowering fruity smell and produces lots of bubbles (an essential for children). It does leave her hair soft and very clean, and really is easy to rinse out of her hair.

For a handy, reasonably priced, easy to use shampoo which will appeal to children and do the job for mum, I would recommend this one. And yes, your little one will probably sing as they wash!

Thanks for reading.
