I am in love with this shampoo! I have been looking for a good shampoo for my oily hair for a while now and decided to give this a try because of the awesome reviews and it has become my HG!!! :) I previously tried the AG Peppermint Wash, but it stripped my hair, and then tried Paul Mitchels Tea Tree Special Shampoo and it made my hair super oily! But this shampoo has given me the right balance! I wash my hair every other day and my hair isnt as oily the next day :) I love the peppermint smell and the fresh tingle I get afterwards. I was afraid it would tangle my hair because it has a different consistency and a squeaky clean feel to the hair when applied, but it actually made it easier to brush and gave me soft, shiny hair after blowdrying! :) I definitely recommend anyone with oily hair to try it and really there's nothing to lose because it's so affordable and they always have it in stock at Trader Joes! :)

Love this! I was sick of shelling out tons for paul mitchell tea tree shampoo and this stuff is just as good for $4. Its drying but thats what I wanted I use this to clairify once a week to get rid of all the build up from my moisture shampoos and conditioners it works great without completely stripping my hair.

I decided to try this shampoo out one day while shopping at trader Joe's. I was glad I did, can't say enough good things about this shampoo. I have fine thin hair, and this shampoo thickens my hair. I love the tea tree tingle, my hair feels really clean and not as oily the next day. I will def. be buying this again.

BEST SHAMPOO EVER. I only use sulfate free shampoos and try to go as natural as possible. I used this shampoo all summer and went through a bottle of the shampoo and the conditioner. Then, I decided to experiment with another natural shampoo. Needless to say, my hair is ruined. I have sooo many split ends and my hair is crunchy and dry. Then, I switched back to this shampoo and no more split ends! It foams up well and cleans without drying. Used with the conditioner, my hair feels as if I used silicones even though the shampoo and conditioner don't have silicones. It's so cheap too. Will be using this forever.
Update: Yup. I switched shampoos again and my hair absolutely died. It was dirty and blah. Then, I switched again and my hair was soft but limp. I went back to the tea tree tingle and my hairs normal again.

I bought this for my husband because he likes Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo. Very happy to say that he loves this! It's much cheaper than the Paul Mitchell product. Yeah!

I was pleasantly surprised by this -- great tea tree scent, cleansed my oily scalp but was not drying. And that's all I need so I really lik this product and it's especially nice that the price is great and that the ingredients are mostly natural.

A very drying shampoo for me, at least.
The scent was wonderful and the texture too, but this product did not work for me.

I am blessed with Asian hair that is pretty healthy and shiny no matter what I use on it. However, I also have SD that flares with use of sulfates (I am not one of those natural people who are all no-sulfates or whatever, that is silly to me. I will use them in my body wash because it doesn't bother my skin there). I was really happy to find such an effective and inexpensive sulfate free shampoo, have been using this every other day for about two years and don't plan on stopping any time soon.

Great sulfate free, paraben free all natural shampoo.
The tea tree oil is great as a stimulant for hair growth. Be aware with essential oils for allergies. This is a great basic, non toxic product for under $4.00, which you I think can buy from Amazon.com, if you aren't lucky enough to have a trader jo's nearby.
As shampoos go, this is pretty basic. The idea is to clean hair, not overdry, and not strip oils. This pretty much fits the bill. It is probably more clarifying in a gentle way, and sets you up for a great conditioning treatment. The corresponding conditioner is EXCELLENT, and together, make a really simple and great inexpensive, nontoxic beauty ritual.

This is a must have for me. Dare I say HG? I've been noticing more and more that although my hair doesn't need any special care from my shampoo/conditioner, my scalp does. The occasional flakes and greasiness isn't something I can ignore like I did when I was in my teens or it seems like it just gets worse. This shampoo seems to balance my scalp and clean off all the flakes while calming and moisturizing just the right amount. Use this if you need a clarifying (but not stripping) shampoo, not if you need an ultra moisturizing shampoo or you will be disappointed. It leaves my hair feeling clean, shiny, and very bouncy/healthy! It seems as though if I ever try to switch my flakes come back, so I will definitely continue to use this. It also seems as though my hair has gotten better with continued use (about a month) - a few months back I got the worst body wave perm ever and my hair was frazzled to say the least. It seems as though it's back to normal now, thanks to this shampoo. Love it!

Cleans an oily scalp without drying out the hair. My hair is bouncy and has loads of shine (and it's colored). I've searched for the perfect shampoo, one that won't dry out my hair or aggrevate a sensitve scalp but still clean my scalp. This is it.

I've been having issues with my hair for awhile. Basically, I have an oily scalp and dry ends and if I don't wash my hair every other day or every day during the hotter months, my hair gets really gross. It seemed like my hair was getting annoyed with the current shampoos I was using so I decided to try this out because of the great ingredients and the price. After using this for a month or so I believe this has done wonders for my scalp. I no longer have an itchy scalp after newly washed hair. Also, my scalp seems really clean and not irritated like before. This shampoo is not for those who need moisturizing but for those who would like to clarify their hair or may have dandruff or other scalp problems. I haven't tried the conditioner but will do so because of the success I've had with this product. Also, it's cheaper for me to use this than to add essential oils (tea tree, eucalyptus, etc.) to a sulfate free shampoo, which was what I was gonna do if I didn't find an affordable product. Other $$$ brands like Paul Mitchell or Aveda make similar products but I didn't want to spend $ on those every month! I use tea tree oil occasionally and have had success with it and thought this shampoo would help my scalp. I am thankful I tried this product and encourage others to try as well. I just hope they don't stop making this!

I bought this because I had dandruff and a flaky scalp and was hoping the tea tree would help with it. I like the tingly feeling it gives, and it lathers and cleans really well. However this really dried out my hair, so I found I could only use this a couple times a week or when I wanted to clarify. It also left a bit of a film on my hair, and my flakes did not improve at all. Loved how cheap it is, and all natural, but probably will not repurchase.

I purchased this shampoo (and the matching conditioner) for my husband, who has a very dry itchy scalp that would tend to flake and look really bad. It was $2.99 for a full sized bottle, with wonderful ingredients listed. After about 3 washings, he began noticing a difference in his hair. Now, no more itching, and a wonderfully cleansed hydrated scalp.
I use this sometimes when I want to clarify my hair, or give it a "fresh" feeling. It strips away all oils, clarifying build up, which leaves my hair light and bouncy and shiny when I blow dry and flat iron. It also gives a resfreshing tingle in my scalp which helps with blood flow circulation and hair health.
Healthy scalp = healthy hair. Its the garden for the bulb of your hair root. If you have challenges with your scalp, consider the natural benefits of Tea Trea oil. I was always a chemical girl, but I learned (the hard way) that God really made everything perfect originally. :)
The conditioenr is good too. I cant use this all the time because it will dry my hair out, but again, I really like to use it to clarify from time to time. I also have used it after a hot oil coconut / olive / jojoba oil treatment and it washes everything away without stripping the benefits of my conditioning treatment. Highly recommended for value, performance, packaging quality, ingredients quality, and doing what it says it will do. For me and hubby! :o)

Is this not the Giovanni's version, repackaged? I honestly cannot tell the difference. I mostly use shampoo bars but when I'm out of ACV, I use this and I honestly love it. I try to keep it on/near my scalp and use a deeply moisturizing conditioner afterwards. It makes my hair look so clean, shiny, and bouncy!

This shampoo is absolutely all natural, which is very very hard to find. I've tried over 10 different types of natural shampoos, and with each one my hair has looked slightly greasy. Which is odd, since my hair is on the dryer side. My hair has never felt fully clean, there was always a slight film on it. This shampoo is one of the best natural shampoos I have tried, but it's not totally perfect. On it's own it leaves a slight coating on my hair, but not as bad as the rest. It's not visible to others, but to me it just doesn't feel 100% clean. BUT to fix that problem, I mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in my hand to the shampoo and it completely fixes the problem. My hair feels totally clean and volumized with that added, and I notice this helps make other natural shampoos feel better too.
Aside from this shampoo being awesome with absolutely no chemicals, it's CHEAP. Like $3 or less for a decent sized bottle. Love Trader Joe's!

Egads! This shampoo smells like delightfully wintry evergreen air, but makes my hair like as dry as straw! I love the way it feels on my scalp, but as soon as I rinse it out, my fine, blond hair becomes very matted. I occasionally use it as a body wash now.

what a great product. It SLS free and it costs about $3. The bottle is modern and nice. It has a mild tingly sensation on my scalp and it's cooling.
