Advantages: Brilliant for itchy flakey scalp Disadvantages: Cost
I bought this product not so long ago as my son was having problems with his dry frizzy hair. It comes in 200ml size, the bottle being white enhanced with blue and red lettering which i was immediately impressed with. The cost was £8, which i thought was high, considering a premium range shampoo would cost that with an extra 50mls!!!
The shampoo itself was clear, there was no fragrance. An absolute no frills product for a high price.
Eucerin's website makes very good claims of this product:
This dry scalpreliefshampoo is specially formulated with 5% Urea for the daily washing of dry, itchy, allergy prone scalps.
Urea is a moisturiser naturally present in healthy skin. Eucerin Dry ScalpReliefShampoo actively helps replenish the Urea lost when the skin becomes dry and improves the skins ability to retain moisture.

Advantages: Widely available, helps straighten fizzy hair Disadvantages: Expensive, lots of shampoo needed every wash, irritates scalp, dries hair out and makes it feel brittle
the truth is to be told.
The end results from the first use were disappointing, my hair felt limp and seemed dry and brittle to the touch. Looking in the mirror the results were clear; my hair wasn't tangled and there were no signs of any frizz or kinks in my hair but it felt as though my hair would snap or be damaged by even the slightest touch.
After using the shampoo for a few days I started to notice that my scalp became red and itchy. Whenever I would dry my hair using the hairdryer I would be scratching my head within minutes. Even letting my hair dry naturally did stop this happening.
After a week of using Redken the bottle was empty and the results were awful. My scalp was really irritable and it looked dry and brittle, I had lost any gloss that my hair had previously had and I was a very sad bunny.
I would never use this ...
Advantages: quite good results Disadvantages: very pricey
the third day (today!), it was definitely greasy, my scalp was slightly itchy and I would not have got away with another day without shampooing.
Would I recommend the shampoo? Well at this stage the jury is still out. It was certainly no worse than others I have used and better than many. You can use it quite sparingly as it lathers well. I have used it half a dozen times now and the bottle is still three quarters full. Maybe, as this is a repair treatment, the benefits will be more apparent after a longer period of use but at present I don?t feel the results really justify the cost. This may well change when I add the conditioner and carbo-bodifier into the equation.
