Product Review: Clear Therapy Shampoo

In last month's Hits and Misses post I talked about how much I was hating my Head and Shoulder's shampoo after using it for years. Basically, I had a ton of build up, my hair was unruly, impossible to dry and it was just a big pain.
I was trying to finish my bottle, but then I gave up and bought what everyone had been raving about.

I bought the shea formula because I figured it would be super moisturizing.
Overall, I'm happy with the shampoo...for the most part.
The pros are that it smells awesome. It's also not too runny of a formula and not too thick. It washes out easily and they have a lot of different formulas.
My hair is also more manageable and it dries at a normal drying time, unlike with the Head and Shoulder's Shampoo.
There are a couple of cons though. 
For a drugstore shampoo, I think it's kind of expensive for less ounces than what you get with Head and Shoulders. 
My hair also lays more flat and therefore looks thinner, but that could be a problem with the shea formula itself and not the other formulas.
My scalp is also super itchy. I don't have dandruff, I have dry scalp which is why I thought the shea formula would be moisturizing but it's not. My scalp is driving me crazy!
I also have an issue where my hair is basically grease city by the time I shower the next morning.That means it's maybe 24 hours after washing my hair. We're not talking about a little grease on the scalp, we're talking grease from roots to ends. It's really gross. 
I am willing to try a different formula of clear therapy because I think most of my issues are related directly to this specific formula, and not Clear Therapy as a whole. 
Overall, I am happy with the way my hair is more manageable and the lack of build up. I will be purchasing this again.

Hey! Stumbled across your blog via Med Mondays. I think I've skimmed it before :) I also have the same problem with my hair, so I switched to sulfate-free shampoo and I love it. I currently buy Organix, and I can get it from Meijer :)

My hair lady told me to try out Tresseme, and I love it!

I have been debating weather or not I want to try Clear Therapy.
I have used Head and Shoulders before and I know what you mean about the build up.. I loved it at first but it was like, "What the heck is happening to my hair!?"
I also love Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. Smells so good and keeps my hair moisturized! I also can go a day without shampooing (hair in pony) with it. My hair doesn't get as greasy with it as some other brands.
If you're having a really bad problem with shampoos, maybe try Chagrin Valley Soaps! I have used them and love them so much! It is actually a bar of shampoo and lasts a long time! They have countless formulas and are really helpful in trying to help you find the right one! If you're interested in it I can tell you more! You know my email! ;)
