- As a long-time user of Head and Shoulders I wanted to give their Royal Oils shampoo a try but as I reached for a bottle at my local grocery store I found myself asking this question: do I need my dandruff shampoo to acknowledge my blackness? Review aside, I'll be interested to see what you all have to say in the comments below! #semifreeformlocs #HeadandShoulders

I truly appreciate that you try stuff like this for a fair amount of time before reviewing it. Your opinions carry much more weight for stuff to me because of that. Dandruff isn't an issue for me but I always appreciate your videos and filmmaking so I'm enjoying it all the same. Thanks!
Natural hair is getting bigger in the black community and it's like everyone... I Mean everyone, wants to make money off of it... I dunno. That's my take on it. Yes it's an everybody issue lol 😂.. well... ☮️
Coconut oil makes my hair so dry/brittle. Olive oil + argan oil is where it's at
Love argan oil! Seems so underrated.
Yup that’s because coconut like is a solid when not warmed up basically it solidifies in your hair and drys it up
I think they are trying to accomplish two things:
1. Get a slice of the black hair care market, which is huge.
2. Attract customers who probably wouldn't even consider using their namesake hair care line.
I don't know anyone who uses Head & Shoulders. Now black people will use products traditionally targeted to caucasians if it fits the bill, but those are usually targeting moisture. Like you said H & S is to combat dandruff and dry scalp. Now when I go to Target, I see a new collections targeted to black hair from mainstream brands like Pantene and Suave.
I never would have considered h&s for dandruff, but royal oils got me (bought for my daughter, haven't used it yet). Traditionally, I would have gotten sulfur 8 for dandruff.
I need everyone to stop adding coconut oil to everything. My favorite cholesterol conditioner was ruined because of it 😒
Yes!
While I appreciate companies trying to be more inclusive, I also can't help but feel some type of way by the shameless ways they try to market to our community.
It's definitely a delicate balance.
I have been binge watching your vids. Love your content and style. You have inspired me to semi free form as I admire the simplicity of your local maintenance.
4B/4C with seborrheic dermatitis and I totally fell for the marketing of this line. Although I knew good and well that coconut oil isn't the best product for my scalp, I tried it anyway. It helped the flaking and inflammation, but I definitely agree that my hair/scalp don't feel as clean after a wash. I may try the Deep Moisture line in the future, once I run through this giant bottle!
I have the same issue. I did fall for the royal oils cause of the coconut but I use almost all of the other head and shoulders shampoos and the 2n1s. I have lots so don't bother with their conditioners. I love them all, especially the ones for itchy scalp cause you can feel the peppermint.
Medicated shampoo is universal, and everyone can use it. This line is unnecessary. I don't need or want everything I buy to cater specifically to me. Just make a good product, and if I like it I'll buy it.
I’m so glad you said this! When I first heard of this line I thought is this absolutely necessary? All these companies are doing anything for the black dollar.
And you all buy it eagerly the moment they say something pro BLM on social media lol Jump doggy!
I really liked this version better. It’s way more moisturizing. I wear a lot of protective styles so I like a little scalp support. I would repurchase.
Living in the UK I have never heard of Royal Oils products, but I have been using Head and Shoulders shampoo for most of my adult life. It's the shampoo I tried first when I stops using the cosmetic ones and it's the best decision I made for my scalp. Sorry, those other black owned shampoos just don't work. 4.12.19
This was the honest review I was looking for!!😩 Everybody sounded scripted but I feel like I would be fine with the deep moisture version
I really think we resemble each other slightly everytime I watch your videos! I have semi free form locks, darkskinned, round glasses, I could go on and on about our similarities on paper lol. Love you girl! Many blessings!
(Please dont come for me, just an observation)
Thank you so much for this!!!!!! Because of you, I'm going to go grab some H&S Shampoo and wash my 8 year old locs with it!!! Lately, I've noticed that my scalp has been flaking really bad and also developing scabs and while Castile Soap is WONDERFUL for cleaning locs, I honestly feel like my scalp wasn't getting the moisture and assistance it needed while Castile Soap.
“Black with dandruff issues” 😆
Coconut Oil makes me break out in hives so I skipped this line. Because a lot of natural hair Products and products geared towards black people have coconut oil I do feel a type way for not being able to try it but when I think about the hives I just use what works for me lol
For me shea butter is a no go and it's everywhere! I miss out on a lot.😰
I feel your pain.
I love the new intro! Coconut oil doesn't do well with my scalp either. Now Avocado and jojoba oil, those are my go Tom's. For shampooing, I use design essentials natural hair line
"Digital diaspora" I like that!
I am a white guy with short locs. I may consider this product, nothing else seems to be working to solve my dandruff issue
Did it work?
H&S is a good clarifying shampoo. It was used to clean your scalp before a MRI.
No.
They’re acknowledging that they also want a piece of that natural hair product pie. For brands as old as HS, it either works for us or it doesn’t. It’s not like they’re doing serious reformulations for our hair type. They’re ever so slightly tweaking it and re-presenting in a natural hair-friendly format. That’s all.
I felt a way when I saw the ad and heard the commercial. You and your hair are gorg! I have samples of this but now I'm leaning towards the deep moisture one now to test
0:26 oop! the direct approach? Well done
Finally, I tried Head and Shoulders, Instant Relief. OMG. My scalp has been relieved since. With way less flaking. I feel if I keep using it, my scalp will heal even more. My Nizoral Rx shampoo, was just not working anymore, flakes/dry scalp everwhere. I have Sisterlocks about 18mnths in. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS. Unfortunately, I am extremely sensitive to many natural products as well. Be blessed.
So you just gonna sneak in that epic pony tail tie up mid-vid without instructions? How did you that?! Looks nice!
I guess I didn't edit it well enough but I included it as a mini tutorial. I just crosshatch it all the way down the back and then hold it together by tying two locs together.
Hallease no no your videos are perfect, I'm just a slow learner. I loved it!
Hallease
Im a new subscriber to your channel. I have watched a few of your videos, great content.
P.S.
Have a blessed weekend everyone✌
I think dat will work on my daughter's hair thank you doin the tester good vid sis stay loc'D ♾🔒'D
I think because they are traditionally a white hair company, black folk dont think HS, they think Sulphur 8. Beside me I think you are the only other black woman I heard say they use HS. When I tell my peers I use HS the are mega surprised. So yeah I think their marketing strategy was necessary to reach the AA demographic.
That's a fair point. You right, you right.
Daria Rudolph I agree. My husband has head and shoulders and it’s never even crossed my mind to use it, even when I have occasionally had dandruff.
Wow, I haven’t heard references to Sulfur 8 in so long lol. We used to have it right next to a jar of green Dax in the cabinets when I was growing up.
I use HS and know po plenty of other WOC who do too...but we're all weirdos so there's that.
Agreed!
I have scalp issues as well. Coconut oil irritates my skin as well so I feel you sis! Currently I am using the selsun blue naturals
shampoo.
From what I’ve been told and seen the other shampoos specifically for dandruff control or sebhorric dermatitis is not about your blackness but your curl type … the other lines are EXTREMELY damaging to curly hair I’m talking about irreversible damage bc it intends to completely dry your hair out … so that’s why it’s important in my opinion I actually appreciate it
But I also get your apprehension
That being said in that same video they said coconut oil and avocado oil can exacerbate scalp conditions so when I saw avocado oil I was confused eh maybe I will just look for ingredients that were recommended and water down the deep moisture one and just go back over it with something else
I know my issues are due to hard water bc I never had these issues when I lived in NC
Have you ever tried taking dairy out of your diet to see if you have less dandruff while out of your diet? If you even have dairy in your diet.
Imma be real this the only line I used one my hair and Its been really good. Haven’t seen a dandruff at all. And the shampoo is not drying and the conditioner is ok I still use my Vo5 and follow my regular routine. I never tried the deep moisture I might have to. But the royal oils did help especially since I have to stop use if I’ll on my scalp. I use the spray and scalp creme as well.
You are so funny and insightful. I have fine, Caucasian hair that’s damaged on the bottom. The coconut oil trend near my roots is a disaster for grease. I did like the royal oils mask, but I think what you are saying is curious, as I haven’t seen a major brand for a scalp issue target Asian hair or another ethnicity. Fun fact- when I look up head and shoulders reviews I find a ton by people in India. Which, to be humble a jut, they spend 2.99 usd on a bottle and their median household income for the year is 5,000 dollars usd. I would say go for the deep moisture too! I use that one in the summer when I shampoo more frequently and I like this menthol Mens one now, but that one is DRYING. Used tb of conditioner as a leave in:)
I get some dandruff and have sensitive skin generally. I use an Australian brand call MooGoo. I use their Natural Milk Shampoo and their Cream Conditioner.
I'll check them out
Is the glitchy transition on purpose? I assume so from the sound effect but I wasn't sure lol. Was like "oh no my phone is broken" for a second lol.
I'm not sure about the demographic thing; I know they did a cowash + if I didn't have sisterlocks now I'd be looking for moisturising shampoos with anti dandruff effects still! Lazy natural all the way lol, if I don't need an extra step I'm all for it.
I know there's one called LivSo but I tried their leave in and it didn't seem to help much. Might try the shampoo when I'm actually locked up.
Yes, I'm all about glitch effects!
@@hallease lol! 4.12.19
Great video. Drop all the foods you dont tolerate and see the dandruff disappear.
Oh you should see yannie the locologist she has a TH-cam channel. I went to go see her because my dandruff was out of this work and would itch sooo bad. I went to her in October and I haven’t had and issues since
Hey! Died laughing and agree with: " Do I need to black with dandruff issues?" 🤔😕Girl yes, i love H&S. You are the first loc'd person that I've heard use that shampoo besides myself. I was so worried about my scalp when I first loc'd my hair almost 3 years ago. I didn't think i could use H&S because the research i did spoke against creamy shampoos. But hey, i have no flakes and my hair is so shiny and black. The almond oil version for extra dry scalp is best for me.
Hi sorry if I offend you but I have been using Head and shoulders for years and honestly I don't even have dandruff issues but no other shampoo works for my hair like H &S and here by introducing Royal Oils they are no where saying that its for african American people to offend them but they are saying its for a hair type that usually african American people have. Again no offense and I am sorry it did not work for you. I have also used Royal oils my self being asian with straight hair.
BTW you should try H&S Supreme sulphate free I am sure that will work for you
Chile, I'm glad you did this review b/c I was wondering what is the difference between the reg. HS and their royal oil lines?!? Currently, I use HS w/Avocado Oil and I'm good.
If it ain't broke
✅ I like the elixir treatment for the scalp by Royal oils Head and shoulders. I don't use the shampoo and conditioner and all those other products by Head and shoulders I have a shampoo and conditioner that I'm faithful to. Afro texture hair
I came to this video after seeing the ad where the woman was patting and scratching her cornrows... and I wanted to see if there was anything different about it, especially as someone with dandruff with dreads. But I agree the ad seemed.. like a lot lmao. Also, love "digital diaspora". Ill have to try the deep moisture one. I switched to Tgel for awhile but honestly nothing works well for me 😩
I'm really enjoying your channel.
My hair type is bald. Is this good for me too? Lmao... I had bad dandruff when I was younger because I was using a crappy shampoo that would severely dry out my skin because I had oily skin and I guess that wasn't acceptable to my father. I've had chronic dandruff ever since. My dandruff only got better when I started using head n shoulders, but I think head n shoulders might have caused my early balding.... Well, just shampoo in general. Big brands didn't put oils in there recipe like some do now. I don't know. I just use Dove everything now.
Lmao that was real keep doin u real talk
Thankful I don’t have a dandruff problem or any allergies I can use anything
Blessed and highly favored
3:00 L.M.A.O.
Aloe is great for dandruff should try it
Already use it
i love this
I actually find the marketing kind of insulting! It’s just dumb, period!
Try Ghana Black soap -then fresh aloe leaf n neem
Using head and shoulders? How do you use that without all the residues and garbage getting trapped in your locs?
*shrug* just use Neutrogena Anti-resedue shampoo once every 6 months to make sure there's no build up.
Every 3 days I use acv with green tea for 15 mins then dread shampoo. Good for 3 days, that’s someone who flakes easily....
Hallease I haven’t been able to find the t-gel anti residue, only the anti residue clarifying which and that says only use once a week
Amazon, and it's by Neutrogena
Hallease Thank you! I’ll have to give it a try
Loose natural type 4 weave and braid wearer. I prefer the original head and shoulder's.
How often do you retwist your hair.
I don't.
🙄WoW that had to be a joke. You gotta see the mad disrespect (Yannie) on her head to know otherwise.
❤️
Looks like Almers glue consistency
Nizerol works well too in dry scalp and diluting those shampoos before applying to prevent build up is an idea
I have been having scalp issues for years and it took me awhile to find a product I love. I definitely used Head and Shoulders for awhile though. Interesting that they are marketing to Black folk. Very interesting. Do we not use their products on the regular? I know I did for many years. Here's what I am currently using that I love: Free and Clear Medicated Anti-Dandruff Shampoo: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WD8YQKL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You definitely need your blackness identified 100%. We are the original and first humans on earth and our hair need specific and special attention. Our hair is designed differently and needs different care like we use to do in Africa. So if head & shoulders is focusing on us just take it as a compliment and leave race out of it. For years I use to wash my hair and dry my scalp out because I didn't understand our hair and scalp is designed differently and we need are own specific products.
@pound4pound those "black" products don't work for everyone
@@curlslegitbaby2981 Right🙋🏾♀️
"my blackness"
What a load of narcissistic nonsense
You didn’t actually watch the video
@@hallease "my blackness" tells me everything I need to know about you and how insufferable you probably are 👍
(Responding to comments on a 4 year old video only confirms the narcissist slur)
I need a sample size.
Please read my comment, for your best interest! Head and Shoulders is the worst product you can ever use in your hair! The pH balance is horrible and gets worse when using this product. A normal and healthy pH balance is between 4.5-5 range. Head and Shoulders has a range of 6.5-8.6 pH! With an experiment I completed head and shoulders removed a stain in a white shirt that the leading brand of stain remover couldn’t remove, let that sink in ladies
