What the gurus are saying

This bare shampoo ditches the thiolinone preservatives found in Head & Shoulders' classic clean line, substituting zinc pyrithione as the active ingredient instead. Dermatologists found it pairs really well when used with their conditioner and highlighted the bottle design for its ability to roll up to access every last drop before recycling fully, though be aware it does contain fragrance.

"Head and Shoulders tried-and-true. Their Bare Shampoo though, I like that the bottle you can actually roll it up so you can get every last drop out of the bottle, and then you can also recycle the bottle and the cap. So, very nice job with that shampoo."

"I like this bare line because it doesn't have the thiolinone preservatives like the classic clean. It's a zinc pyrithione shampoo. I shampooed my hair with this last night and followed with this conditioner and these are pretty good. It does have fragrance but these are pretty good."
