Clarifying Shampoo for Build Up and Oily Hair - Deep Cleansing Shampoo with Rosemary - Refreshing Lemon for Greasy Hair & Jojoba Oil for Scalp Cleanser - Anti Residue Shampoo for Healthy Scalp - 8 Oz

I am really loving my first Maple Holistic product, the Shampoo For Oily, Itchy and Greasy Hair. I tend to have oily hair (especially around my hairline) even when I wash my hair every day or two. But a few months ago I resolved to washing less, most especially to avoid using as much heat to style so often. So now I go several days between washes, usually washing on the third or fourth day... and my hair can get pretty oily! I like that the natural oils are nourishing my hair but I like for my hair to feel clean after I wash it and other shampoos were not doing the trick. I would have to wash really well two times to achieve my desired level of cleanliness. With the Maple Holistics shampoo I only have to wash once, saving me time and money AND it is less impactful on the environment. I rinse my hair with very warm water to loosen the oils up and then I split my hair just above my ears and put a little more than a quarter size amount of the product on the bottom half of my scalp, concentrating on massaging it into my scalp and the roots of my hair and letting it set (not pulling it through to the ends) while I do the same at the crown of my head. I usually let it sit for a minute or so while I wash and then I add a bit of water and a little conditioner and massage it into the rest of my hair. After rinsing I condition, concentrating mostly on the ends and trying not to massage into my scalp too much. Then I rinse with cooler water after a minute or so. Now back to the bit where I said I add a little conditioner when I lather the Shampoo for Oily, Itchy and Greasy hair... I found in the first times I used it that, although working nicely to break down the oils, that it was maybe a little too effective, leaving my hair feeling very dry. So I tried letting it set on my scalp for less time but it didn't change the result (and I have found that that step is really beneficial in helping to calm the sebaceous glands, so much so that, at about the half-used mark of my first bottle, I have already noticed that my hair is less oily for the first couple of days after washing). So I decided to see what it would be like to add the conditioner and, wa-la! It felt much better! Before, I didn't feel comfortable running my fingers through after washing, before conditioning, because my hair felt too dry. That being said, the result of having overly-cleaned hair was something I actually expected, given the nature of the product, and it most certainly isn't a deterrent to me continuing to use it. My one suggestion would be to search for a way to make it a little gentler on hair, perhaps coconut or Moroccan oil, if that doesn't tamper with the effectiveness of the product. I will continue to use this shampoo and can't wait to try other products too! I have already told a couple people about it at Thanksgiving dinner! Oh, I almost forgot the mention that it smells great and gives a nice little tingling feeling. Cheers!

Works great for my daughters overly oil production hair. Have tried other shampoos that are supposed to help with oil build up but left her scalp flaking. This stuff smells good and keeps her hair from looking greasy while also helping keep her scalp from drying out and flaking.

I normally don't write reviews, but I rely on them when purchasing products, so I decided to give this a go. I have been using Maple Holistics Degrease shampoo for a month now. I had been continuously searching for a shampoo that worked for my hair type which is long, fine, oily/greasy, and is falling out quite a bit lately. Other things that were important to me in a shampoo were the ingredients - no sulfates, parabens, etc. A bit about me - I have oily, acne-prone skin, so it is not surprising that my scalp would have similar issues. Recently I was diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia, which is what has contributed to my hair loss. Otherwise, I have no hormonal imbalances or otherwise that would cause oily, shedding hair (just genetics, I happen to be Italian-American). While dealing with my horrible hair, I had tried many different techniques including the "no poo" method, just using baking soda and ACV to rinse my hair. Not a good idea. I also tried Wen, and again, this made me practically go bald! After doing some research about this, I learned a lot about hair and scalp and I just wanted to share that here, in hopes that it may save someone else the frustrations that I went through. Generally I had been washing my hair every-other day, or even every 2 days, as recommended and encouraged by systems like Wen or "no poo". But now I know that it is important, especially for those of us who have oily or dandruff-prone hair, to wash every single day. The buildup of oils on the scalp can block the follicle and cause the hair to fall out. Once I started washing my hair daily, it stopped shedding in massive amounts. What a relief! I use the Degrease shampoo as directed - a quarter-sized amount worked into the scalp and left to sit for a few minutes, then rinse. It produces a rich lather and rinses clean easily. It does feel a bit drying, so I follow with the Maple Holistics Silk 18 conditioner on the ends of my hair, and it is the most pleasant-smelling hair product I have ever used. After showering and blowdrying, I am left with soft, silky, healthy-feeling hair that smells really good. Oh, and it doesn't feel greasy or oily at all. Living up to its name! Moral of the story is: when in doubt, wash your hair every day, especially if it's oily. Washing 1x per day will not cause it to be more oily or dry. Your scalp is still skin, after all, and you need to care for it in order to have healthy hair, by washing to remove the oil (sebum) and environmental toxins it is exposed to daily. This shampoo is great for people with oily, fine hair, and the ingredients are natural and safe. I will definitely be sticking with this shampoo from now on.

Update the second: If you're still struggling with greasy hair while using this, you may have hard water. I got a weekly clarifying shampoo to complement this shampoo. (Odele is great for getting hard water deposits out!) Combined with a silicone shampoo brush and a weekly salycilic acid conditioner, my hair is finally normal, and this shampoo is the center of my hair care routine! Update: I first purchased this in November of 2023, and have only had to buy a new bottle once. Just a little foams up beautifully, and the shampoo itself lets me go 3-4 days between hair washing so one bottle lasts a good long while. I haven't had any major issues with dryness, but I apply a protein mask to my hair ends once a month. Most importantly, I have MCAS, and my immune system often reacts to shampoo once I've used it enough times, but I haven't had that issue with this shampoo. It doesn't trigger any reactions, and it's soothed my itchy scalp. I'm sold. I won't need any other shampoo. I'm disabled, and I'm often bed bound, or I don't have the ability to wash my hair (can wash myself but not my hair), leading to long days between showers, which leads to greasy hair that makes my scalp a nightmare of itching. I've tried a lot of shampoos, and all of them were "clarifying" or simply "invigorating," or they have Sodium Laurel Sulfate- which I'm horribly allergic to. I was close to simply buzzing my hair out of desperation, and to ease things for me- this shampoo was literally one of my last two options. I waited a few weeks to see how it worked, and I am so glad I ordered it. This shampoo has let me go up to 3-4 days between washes, and it's eased the itching of my scalp. My hair is soft, manageable, and doesn't get as greasy as quickly. It has a very herbal scent, which some people might not like, but I love it. It smells fresh and clean and almost reminds me of a rainy forest morning. Also, despite the lack of SLS, it still lathers up well enough, and I haven't needed conditioner afterwards. It's a bit pricey, but I will continue to get this shampoo, because it's increased my quality of life in the hygiene department!

I've only used it a few times, so I can't speak for the long-term effects, but this shampoo has been great so far! I have very fine, soft, silky hair, which is great for a day, but by the time I wake up in the morning, it's very oily. I try to avoid washing my hair every day, because I dye it frequently and want to preserve the color as much as I can. Unfortunately, that can be difficult considering how greasy my hair gets. I can usually get away with skipping a day if I use dry shampoo, but never more than that. I've used it every morning for the past few days. On the first day I washed twice (per the instructions), but I don't think that is strictly necessary. If I have a lot of leftover product in my hair (which I usually do, since it is cut short and lacks any natural volume/texture), it doesn't lather up a huge amount, but I think that's true of most shampoos that I've used. If there is no product in my hair, it foams up even more than other shampoos. Either way, it gets the job done. I prioritize massaging it into my scalp and only lightly wash the ends of my hair. I have not been following it up with conditioner and my hair feels fine afterwards - not quite as silky as it would if I did use conditioner, but not so dry and stiff that I feel like I have to use conditioner. It's a small bottle, but you don't need to use too much, so I think it should last for awhile. That said, it is also pretty reasonably priced for a specialized shampoo, considering I've spent $20+ on "color preserving" bottles before. I'm hoping that over time this shampoo will help regulate the amount of oil my scalp produces, but I'm very happy with the purchase even if it doesn't go that far. It's great just for regular use, as it leaves my hair feeling fresh and clean, and will probably help reduce my scalp acne as well. Update: I shower every morning, so my hair gets rinsed every day at the very least, but I've only been washing it every 2-3 days and I haven't needed to use dry shampoo on the off days (like I used to). My hair is short, which probably helps, but I do put product in it daily (matte clay + hairspray). Despite my skepticism, this shampoo does seem to have actually reduced the amount of oil my scalp produces and my hair is less greasy overall than it used to be. I am very satisfied with this purchase and will be buying more when I run out.

It didn't help too much with my oily hair. Works for a day and the oiliness creeps back. It doesn't have any effect on scalp psoriasis either. The scent is of a medicinal herbal scent which I don't mind.

So I have been moving away from all products that arent natural for sometime and have loved the results. However, my head is so oily that even after using only natural stuff and no extra product, it was still gross the very next day. I am not a 2 day hair person, tho I would love to be, unless the 2nd day it is in a pony tail. And even then you can tell. So I researched and found this. I mean, its straight up, in your face called DEGREASE! That must be for me! And the reviews were great as well, so I gave it a try. I am currently well into my 2nd bottle, the larger one this time after initially trying the small bottle. This stuff is pretty great. The first time I used it I scrubbed my head, rinsed then repeated, omg it felt SO much better. I pair this with the Silk 18 conditioner just on the length of my hair, occassionally just skimming my hands over the surface of my hair on my head if it feels dry, just barely making contact. That stuff is also pretty amazing. Since I have been using it, I can go every other day without washing my hair without it being nasty. It still produces oil and isnt fabulous 2nd day hair like some lucky lasses out there but its better than its ever been. My scalp feels better also, its not oily or caked with sebum. I now only wash my hair once, rubbing vigourously in my scalp with my finger tips and letting it sit a bit while I wash my face. The only time I do the "rinse and repeat" (cause who has time in the AM before work??) Is when I have gone a couple days without washing my hair and it feels extra built up, I wash twice to cut through the grease (ugh, seriously cant stand that word when referring to my own physical self) and my hair is back to awesome. With the silk 18 my hair feels clean, light (not bogged down with oils) and silky soft. It also lies nicely, where it should without excess frizz and it air dries nicely. I live in central FL, humidity is in all captial letters here most of the year, I noticed when I use these 2 products and let my hair air dry it still looks amazing, not derranged and out of control or shell shocked. I definitely recommend using both the Degrease and Silk18 together because the degrease can be drying on the length of your hair, but the Silk makes it like it never happened. I think both products smell really nice. I love it. But I love the smell of clean versus fruity/flowery/omgIamchokingwheneverImovemyhead. It leaves my hair smelling really nice but subtle and best of all, feeling great. Do yourself a favor and just give it a try, use it how it states to begin with then do what you feel your hair needs after that. Best thing is with both the shampoo and conditioner, it doesn't take gobs of the product to work. My hair is to the middle of my back and though it is fine, it is thick. This stuff does the job.

Kept my hair nice and soft, did make my hair feel clean and thick without any of that grease

I have combination (dry sensitive and oily) scalp and this caused my scalp and hair to be super dry. And in turn causes my hair to drop even more. On the other hand, my partner has oily scalp only, and he said it combat his scalp condition.

Produit d'une très bonne qualité !

Fenomenal, me da mucho volumen y me dura más tiempo limpio. Gran producto que siempre recomiendo a todos mis amigos

My hair is very greasy and i need to wash it everyday. After using this shampoo i reach the second and it doesnt look that oily . Will buy this product again.

Gran producto. He usado distintas marcas para cabello graso (muy graso) y sin duda está a cumplido con MI objetivo, mantener 24 horas el cabello sin aspecto mojado y sucio. A mí me ha funcionado.
