The Body Shop Ginger Scalp Care

I’ve been using this conditioner for a few months now, and it’s become a staple in my routine. I have fine, weak hair that gets tangled easily, and this actually helps smooth things out without weighing my hair down. It leaves my scalp feeling clean and soothed, and brushing afterward is noticeably easier, less pulling and breakage. I like that it’s vegan and doesn’t leave any heavy residue. It’s one of the better conditioners I’ve tried for my hair type. Definitely worth the money!

Where to start.... So I have always had Seb Derm but as soon as I moved to Florida in 2017 it was the absolute worst it had ever been! I had insane red itchy hot spots and disgusting huge flakes of skin just stuck to my scalp that were so noticeable, I have super thick hair but it was constantly falling out! I had to shower at least once a day just to keep it some what under control pain wise. Then a miracle happened! My friend introduced me to Monat Shampoo in mid-2017 and it really seemed to be helping, the redness and pain had subsided but the giant flakes were still an issue. About a year ago when they changed their packaging I think they changed their formula because I started having the same issues or maybe my hair just got used to it and it was no longer effective! So I was on a mission to find something that actually worked! I spent weeks researching shampoos (mind you I’ve even tried prescription ones to no avail) and then I kept seeing this one on lists over and over again, The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo. People raved about how it helped their seb derm, the only real down side I kept reading about was the smell but I’m like heck, if it’ll help me poor head I’ll try anything! So I bit the bullet and purchased The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo and The Body Shop Ginger Conditioner. It arrives, honestly, I don’t know what everyone is complaining about it really is not that bad... it just kind of smells like ones of those ginger candies, slightly medicinal but not overwhelming. For the first couple of weeks I alternated using the Monat shampoo and the Ginger shampoo and conditioner (every other ginger shampoo) and then just the ginger shampoo, completely phasing out the Monat. And OMG let me tell you! My flakes are gone not even a little one, no redness and now I can go more than 2-3 days between washing my hair!! I even use it on my eyebrows when they start to flake up as well! I have been using this shampoo since the end of May and I’m so happy it’s worked for my Seb Derm! But now... the not so great... again, I have really thick hair so I feel like I use quite a bit of the product but there is still a little left in the 13.5oz after 2+ months so that’s not too bad. It’s not moisturizing at all, my hair isn’t brittle but it isn’t particularly soft either, and the conditioner is completely useless. I’m still using the Monat leave in conditioner until I find something better just to be able to get the knots out of my hair. And because it’s not moisturizing it’s doesn’t add the weight which brings your hair down so in turn it actually makes it thicker and more fluffy especially in this Florida humidity! But with all that being said! I still would rather not have a horrible itchy, painful scalp with disgustingly huge pieces of skin falling off my scalp! I’m so glad I found this product! Anyone recommend a conditioner that won’t wreck my progress?

The water in my current home is rather hard. I have a water softener and a filter for my shower, but the water can still irritate my skin sometimes, with my scalp being the worst. This irritation would cause my scalp to flake. I was previously having good results using tea tree shampoo but it would strip my hair, make it feel dry, it wasn't as shiny as it was before, and I would still get flaking from time to time. I had previously found the ginger scalp oil from The Body Shop at Ulta. I would use it mainly when I was still getting flakes and it made my scalp feel significantly better. When I saw that they also had a shampoo, I purchased it immediately. I've been using this instead of the tea tree shampoo for a while now and the results have been fantastic! I haven't had any flakes (probably about a month after starting use), my hair feels better when I wash it (less stripped, thicker), and my hair looks healthier. Not having to worry about flakes is really life changing. Will definitely continue using this shampoo.

I’ve been dealing with a dry, itchy scalp for a while, especially during the colder months, and decided to give this shampoo a try based on some solid reviews—and I’m glad I did. After about a week of consistent use, I noticed a big difference in how calm and clean my scalp felt. It’s not an instant fix, but it does work if you give it a little time. The scent is strong—very gingery and herbal—but personally, I like it. It smells clean and refreshing without being too overpowering once your hair dries. It lathers well too, even though it’s sulfate-free, which I wasn’t expecting. A couple tips if you’re thinking of trying it: Let it sit on your scalp for a minute or two before rinsing. I find that helps the active ingredients actually do their thing. Follow up with a light conditioner just on the ends, not the scalp, to avoid build-up (especially if your hair is prone to dryness). Be consistent—use it 2–3 times a week if you have moderate flakes or itch. I tried alternating it with a moisturizing shampoo to keep things balanced. I knocked off one star because it can be a little drying if used too often and the bottle’s a bit small for the price, but otherwise this is a solid option if you're struggling with flakes or irritation. Worth a try!

I've used this shampoo for more than 10 years. It is healthy and has a natural scent. You won't regret to give it a try.

Good for my hair.

I cannot believe I just spent $15 on what I thought was a large size of shampoo. I ended up getting 250 mL some people on the site show photos of 400 mL. I don’t care how great this is. This is travel size.

The best shampoo for dry, flakey scalp, I’ve used this shampoo for years and will continue to do so!

Excelente producto, te evita muchísimo la caída del cabello

This was a bit of a problem through much of my adult life, however after treatment for lung cancer at age 50, what used to be on again-off again dandruff became full time dryness and flakes. Previously I found that one dandruff shampoo worked and that was Nizoral. This no longer worked. My wife bought me this Ginger shampoo from Body Works a couple years ago and it’s made a huge improvement. I no longer have the constant flakes I used to have and can go out without wearing a hat. My wife claims that my bald spot, thin hair up top, and receding hairline have all gotten better. I’m not fully convinced of this but I do think that I’m not losing my hair as quickly. That is a big deal seeing how I’m nearly 60 years old and first noticed my balding at age 30.

The Body Shop Ginger Shampoo is amazing! It’s really effective for my dandruff and leaves my hair feeling clean and refreshed. I’ve noticed a big improvement since I started using it. Highly recommend!

Very good
