  • Amazing
I rarely find something worth 5 stars BUT OMG, this product is like crack for hair!! I use spray or mousse......maybe once a year so, I strictly purchased this so that I can prep my hair for the dye. WOW......my hair literally feels weightless! Ive never not used conditioner and because I was prepping to dye, I didn't, and WOW! My hair is not only weightless but still manageable. I dont understand, but I am officially a fan! I was so shocked that I wanted to see how ny hair would feel tomorrow (today). Combed/brushed through it beautifully! The scent is hella light, friendly for all. I cant imagine it getting any better with the conditioner but will be getting it!!!!! ... show more

  • Works well
It works really good. My hair was fading unbelievably quick. It’s purple and it kept going pink. I used this shampoo before using attic fix dye and bam finally! The color has lasted so much longer, stayed really bright also. My hair had looked dull before. I would give this 5 stars but it does dry my hair out really bad. I have healthy hair so I just used a deep conditioner at the end of every thing. My hair feels great. If you have dry or damaged hair, I’m not sure that I’d use this. If I did, I’d dilute it and use a great conditioner and then some leave in or oil before you style it! ... show more

  • Gentle clarifying shampoo
I originally bought it to use before dyeing my hair with henna, but I liked it so much that I use it once a week to remove buildup from my shampoo bar. I have a sensitive scalp, and it doesn't irritate it. I have sensitivity to fragrances, so I was really happy that It has a nice smell that's not overwhelming. I recommend not buying it during winter months. The first bottle likely froze in transit, so it became a thick gel, and it was hard to get it out of the bottle. This one was perfectly fine. ... show more

  • Worked well!!
I used it once since I got it. I washed it twice though. Took if most off the buildup and the orange discoloration from dry abused hair.. Hair came out clean and the color took a lot better when I recolored it after drying the hair. It is not more drying than most average clarifying shampooes. I will probably use it once every two weeks or so. ... show more

  • Works but...
It's really thick like hair gel. I had to take the cap off as it wouldn't squeeze out like a shampoo usually does. It will leave your hair feeling dried out and straw like. Follow with a conditioning mask or even better a bond repair product.

  • Manic Panic Clarifying Shampoo
This shampoo does a great job of removing product build up from the hair and preparing it for color if desired. I used it without conditioner follow-up, so it left my hair drier than usual and more tangly. But, it was soft and manageable once dried.

  • Very good overall at getting dye out
Overall it works well. Isn't drastically pulling the color our of my hair but does a bit every time, and I see the color washing down the drain. I don't know why some people like the smell...I'm not a grapefruit fan in any regard and I believe that's the scent. Also super drying! Hair feels like crap after but I'm still satisfied overall, it's doing what I want it to do, and I like supporting Manic Panic. ... show more

  • Squeaky Clean! LITERALLY.
I recently have gotten back into hair extensions. I use tape in extensions, which leave a bit of residue that needs to be combed out with bond remover. The bond remover can be pretty oily, depending on brand/type, and between the oily bond remover and residual tape residue, I needed (and still do need) some hard core shampoo that would removal all foreign oils/substances. This stuff works great!!! My hair made literal 'squeaky clean' sounds as I was running my fingers through it, all the way to the ends, pushing water out of my hair. I couldn't believe it... I have heard of the expression 'squeaky clean' before, I've even used it myself to describe something that has been cleansed really well, but I have never actually heard the 'squeak' of 'squeaky-clean' before. I have bleach platinum blonde #1001 type hair, so I am not sure how this would fair on colored/dyed hair. My hair does not have any color/dye and it did a fantastic job of cleaning my hair. I washed my hair twice. I would have only done 1 wash as it was clean/residue free to me, but there is a reason why shampoo bottles say rinse and repeat. So I washed it twicem ... show more
