  • 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

  • Man does this stuff stink!
No idea how good it works compared to any other clarifying shampoo, but holy cats is it a stinky little beast.

  • 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

  • It worked great for me!
I treated my hair with a turmeric mixed with aloe vera treatment and it dyed my hair bright yellow-gold. A lot of the yellow came back out with a few regular washes but it looked like my white hair was destined to be that ugly yellow color instead of white until it grew out. I lathered the Manic Panic on my hair twice and got the results I hoped for. I am thrilled. ... show more
