Kristin EssHair Instant Exfoliating Scalp Scrub for Build Up and Dandruff + Soothing, Hydrating + Rebalancing Dry Scalp Treatment, Non Drying, Cleanse + Detox, Vegan, Color Safe, 6.7 fl oz

It is a good product, just not what I was looking for. I like the brand but I needed something for a scalp issue that I instead needed the doctor's touch.

Absolute favorite shampoo! Leaves my scalp feeling balanced, light and fresh! Ive been using this shampoo for 4 years and haven’t looked back. I found that it’s cheaper here on amazon than in other sellers.

It was good it didn’t really help with build up but it smelt good

HEADS UP TO BUYERS: This is an amazing product in its true form. In other words, when I purchase it from a beauty supplier/salon like Ulta I get the guaranteed product. I’ve noticed that the bottles I’ve purchased on Amazon have a weaker scent, don’t lather as well, and dont make my scalp feel as clean. If you’re looking at the cheaper price, there’s a good reason it’s being offered for less. This information didn’t “register” until I just ordered it again recently and realized it wasn’t being fulfilled by Kristen Ess. I plant to return this bottle to Amazon and make the drive to Ulta. It’s DEFINITELY worth it! If you don’t have a salon near you who carries this product, then please search Amazon and try to find a supplier who is known in the reviews to be a reputable salon. And if it’s being sold for less than $13 to $14, please be careful, as you’ll probably get a watered down version, as I suspect I have.Original review:This shampoo works great on my gray, finicky hair. I wanted something free from harmful chemicals, but all others left my hair feeling dry and over-processed, and my scalp feeling dirty. This shampoo leaves my scalp feeling clean and never dry or itchy, and doesn’t over-process my hair. PLUS IT SMELLS AMAZING!!!!!The applicator takes a little getting used to, but if you’ve ever used an in-home hair color kit, this is very similar, except you start with wet hair. This shampoo has great lather, but you have to add a little bit of water with your hands to increase the lather once you’ve applied it to your scalp.If I could give this shampoo 20 stars, I would-It works THAT well for my hair.Also, I follow up with Kristen Ess Hair Mask for light conditioning and then add Kristen Ess Air Dry Crème once I towel off my hair.This has been the best combination I’ve found for my 60 yr old fine-textured gray hair to help tame frizz and keep it healthy.

Hands down my favorite clarifying shampoo. I’m on a hair health journey this past year, as I spent years bleaching and I’m trying to grow out the fried dead ends. I do color my greys and it doesn’t alter my hair color. It leaves my hair feeling so soft & clean without drying it out, which can be a struggle with my long thick hair. I recently went to a head spa and they ask you to come with dirty hair. She laughed at my before picture (below) because my 4 day old hair was barely oily, and I she didn’t even find any build up. So it does a great job and smells great as well! Highly recommend

The smell is too intense- can be nauseating. It also is wayyyy too thick, and it's hard to get it onto my scalp and scrub it properly. Needs to be a bit thinner and easier to spread and scrub with. Lastly, the crystals don't really do much. For the price point, it's meh. Does give a bit of a fresh feel after using it, and the design of the bottle, both the way the bottle looks and the aesthetic is nice. I like the little nozzle. But there are many better ones out there around the same price. Probably won't buy again.

My daughter had terrible dry skin and dandruff! It was so difficult to get rid of it and she was really embarrassed at school. We have only used it once and it is a huge difference! So glad we found this Kristin Ess product! I already use the shampoo/conditioner and volume products but now I’ll have my daughter use it too.

I buy this for my boyfriend who has bad dandruff. We suspect it is from hard water and product buildup but this cleared it up in just a few uses.
