Clarifying Shampoo for Build Up and Oily Hair - Deep Cleansing Shampoo with Rosemary - Refreshing Lemon for Greasy Hair & Jojoba Oil for Scalp Cleanser - Anti Residue Shampoo for Healthy Scalp - 8 Oz

Update the second: If you're still struggling with greasy hair while using this, you may have hard water. I got a weekly clarifying shampoo to complement this shampoo. (Odele is great for getting hard water deposits out!) Combined with a silicone shampoo brush and a weekly salycilic acid conditioner, my hair is finally normal, and this shampoo is the center of my hair care routine! Update: I first purchased this in November of 2023, and have only had to buy a new bottle once. Just a little foams up beautifully, and the shampoo itself lets me go 3-4 days between hair washing so one bottle lasts a good long while. I haven't had any major issues with dryness, but I apply a protein mask to my hair ends once a month. Most importantly, I have MCAS, and my immune system often reacts to shampoo once I've used it enough times, but I haven't had that issue with this shampoo. It doesn't trigger any reactions, and it's soothed my itchy scalp. I'm sold. I won't need any other shampoo. I'm disabled, and I'm often bed bound, or I don't have the ability to wash my hair (can wash myself but not my hair), leading to long days between showers, which leads to greasy hair that makes my scalp a nightmare of itching. I've tried a lot of shampoos, and all of them were "clarifying" or simply "invigorating," or they have Sodium Laurel Sulfate- which I'm horribly allergic to. I was close to simply buzzing my hair out of desperation, and to ease things for me- this shampoo was literally one of my last two options. I waited a few weeks to see how it worked, and I am so glad I ordered it. This shampoo has let me go up to 3-4 days between washes, and it's eased the itching of my scalp. My hair is soft, manageable, and doesn't get as greasy as quickly. It has a very herbal scent, which some people might not like, but I love it. It smells fresh and clean and almost reminds me of a rainy forest morning. Also, despite the lack of SLS, it still lathers up well enough, and I haven't needed conditioner afterwards. It's a bit pricey, but I will continue to get this shampoo, because it's increased my quality of life in the hygiene department!

Full disclosure: Several months after purchasing this shampoo from Amazon, I was contacted by Maple Holistics and asked, if satisfied, would write a review in return for free product. I am a principled person and would never agree to this were I not A) 100% happy with my purchase B) compelled to help others who could benefit from Maple Holistics' Degrease Shampoo. It seemed overnight that my 13 year-old daughter's (thick, above-the-shoulder) hair went from beautiful and bouncy to SUPER oily and lank. We tried every clarifying shampoo (drugstore brands like Suave, Neutragena, etc.) being careful to wash thoroughly, but not to over cleanse, to use only the most minimal conditioner on the ends, brushing but not over brushing to 'distribute' the oils, etc. etc - plus dry shampoo in between washes- and nothing seemed to alleviate the problem. As soon as her hair dried, it looked oily and almost wet-- upsetting to her and vexing for me. (I'm cringing for her just thinking back on this!) I wouldn't tell her this, but her hair also had a persistently oily smell, whether she was just out of the shower or not. It even remained when she had her hair professionally washed at a salon! At wits end, I scoured the Internet and poured over Amazon reviews, finally coming across Degrease. The name was scary and intriguing at the same time, and I had never heard of the company or product. But, because it wasn't outlandishly expensive, I ordered a bottle with fairly low expectations. My daughter was slightly horrified to try a shampoo that sounded like something a mechanic would use to clean a garage floor; however, she followed the instructions and..... was really happy with the results. Finally, clean hair! But, even better, my daughter no longer frets about looking like she's just emerged from swimming in an oil slick. Hallelujah! Clearly, there is no magic bullet, especially when teenage hormones are involved. However, Degrease has made a big, big difference. My daughter washes her hair every other day, depending on sports or whatever, and still uses dry shampoo occasionally on in between washes. Her hair is pretty and shiny without that gluey, wet look - thank goodness - it had before. We have not experimented with using this product in tandem with an apple cider vinegar rinse or anything like that - maybe that would boost the product's ability to emulsify oil? - mainly because we've been satisfied as is. Her hair looks and smells fresh- the shampoo has an herby scent that I don't mind, definitely not a floral perfume, if that matters. In short, we tried many, many products and even some home remedies, but nothing worked as well as Degrease. I have recommended it to many friends and they've all liked it. Finally, I should also add that you can also feel good about using a product that is free of parabens and other nasty ingredients!

To give a little background on my hair first: ever since puberty hit, I've had very oily hair. I HAVE to wash my hair everyday. Within 24 hours, my hair is all oily and gross. I've tried maybe a few different kinds of shampoo in the hopes of fixing it, but they were all drying type of shampoos that think if you strip your hair of all oils that it goes away, and it just makes it worst. Anyway, on to the review: I bought this shampoo around 2 weeks ago or so. It is summer here, in NC, and I also live near the coast, so the humidity is horrible. I sweat a lot, and when I wipe my face, it tends to get in my hair, which overtime gives the effect of greasy hair. That being said, I obviously haven't tried this shampoo out when I'm not sweating a lot, so that may have some effect on how it's working with my oil issues. It doesn't or hasn't so far, made me be able to go a second day without washing my hair. As I sit here and type this, my hair is all oily and gross, but I washed my hair at 5:30 am yesterday morning, and I did sweat a lot yesterday. I will say, however that it does get your hair squeaky clean. You can hear it squeak in the shower. I have hair down to my elbows and you only need a quarter sized amount to wash your hair. You only need to wash your scalp, not the rest of your hair. Everytime I get in the shower and squirt the quarter sized amount in my hair, I always think "I need more." I just take a little on my finger tips and start massaging it on various parts of my hair. I scrub the back of my head towards my neck, cause it gets really itchy if I don't wash it everyday. This shampoo lathers so good. I read another review on here about how a lady who had horrible cystic acne would use it as face wash as well. I've been doing that too, seeing as how I have an oily face too. It hasn't changed anything with that yet either, except that if I do have any acne come up, it heals it a lot faster. I mainly got this shampoo because it is silicone and sulfate free. I saw a girl on youtube talk about how silicone weighs your hair down and essentially creates frizz. I have frizzy curly hair, and wanted to see if it helped. I haven't been able to wear my hair down yet straight from the shower to see if it helps, but I can see a difference when I take my hair down in the mornings before I wash it. I follow this shampoo with the Silk 18, and I will say this: the conditioner smells amazing. I tell my friends that it smells like the good vanilla, not the nasty car air freshener vanilla. I'm thinking that maybe I just need to wait until fall/autumn is here, when I don't sweat as much, and I've really had the chance to see if it works like it's supposed to, maybe my sebaceous gland needs more repair than normal? I don't know. I will update in a few months or so and give you the low down on it then too.

I am really loving my first Maple Holistic product, the Shampoo For Oily, Itchy and Greasy Hair. I tend to have oily hair (especially around my hairline) even when I wash my hair every day or two. But a few months ago I resolved to washing less, most especially to avoid using as much heat to style so often. So now I go several days between washes, usually washing on the third or fourth day... and my hair can get pretty oily! I like that the natural oils are nourishing my hair but I like for my hair to feel clean after I wash it and other shampoos were not doing the trick. I would have to wash really well two times to achieve my desired level of cleanliness. With the Maple Holistics shampoo I only have to wash once, saving me time and money AND it is less impactful on the environment. I rinse my hair with very warm water to loosen the oils up and then I split my hair just above my ears and put a little more than a quarter size amount of the product on the bottom half of my scalp, concentrating on massaging it into my scalp and the roots of my hair and letting it set (not pulling it through to the ends) while I do the same at the crown of my head. I usually let it sit for a minute or so while I wash and then I add a bit of water and a little conditioner and massage it into the rest of my hair. After rinsing I condition, concentrating mostly on the ends and trying not to massage into my scalp too much. Then I rinse with cooler water after a minute or so. Now back to the bit where I said I add a little conditioner when I lather the Shampoo for Oily, Itchy and Greasy hair... I found in the first times I used it that, although working nicely to break down the oils, that it was maybe a little too effective, leaving my hair feeling very dry. So I tried letting it set on my scalp for less time but it didn't change the result (and I have found that that step is really beneficial in helping to calm the sebaceous glands, so much so that, at about the half-used mark of my first bottle, I have already noticed that my hair is less oily for the first couple of days after washing). So I decided to see what it would be like to add the conditioner and, wa-la! It felt much better! Before, I didn't feel comfortable running my fingers through after washing, before conditioning, because my hair felt too dry. That being said, the result of having overly-cleaned hair was something I actually expected, given the nature of the product, and it most certainly isn't a deterrent to me continuing to use it. My one suggestion would be to search for a way to make it a little gentler on hair, perhaps coconut or Moroccan oil, if that doesn't tamper with the effectiveness of the product. I will continue to use this shampoo and can't wait to try other products too! I have already told a couple people about it at Thanksgiving dinner! Oh, I almost forgot the mention that it smells great and gives a nice little tingling feeling. Cheers!

I really do enjoy testing out products for my body. To see what works, the benefits, and the drawbacks. I was looking for a shampoo to address the sebum build up and my itchy scalp because my prior shampoo was just making everything worse. After my first wash, my hair felt great, my scalp was clean and refreshed and no itching at all! While using this product, my job was to sanitize laboratory equipment. That means there is a ton of alcohol being sprayed around my hair. With this shampoo I was able to clean the sweat and oil that built up from working, and at the same time restore my alcohol frizzed hair to balance. I loved the scent and exciting went ahead and purchased another bottle so I could have no delay in my routine. I quit my the lab job and continued to use the same routine and found the shampoo to actually dry my scalp and hair more than usual. The itching came to a point where I had to shampoo twice a day to relieve it. I wasn't even all the way through with the first bottle and now I reluctantly had a second bottle sitting around. Maybe my scalp grew accustomed to the formula. Their email support suggested it was a change of seasons, but I started using the shampoo in October till February and the winter didn't seem to have any effect all those months. Needless to say, I kindly requested Maple Holistics to stand by their satisfaction guarantee and send me another bottle of a different formula. After a long wait between emails, they stood by their claim and told me to provide an address where they will send me the new shampoo. I've still yet to see any bottle in my mailbox and that was back in February.... If my customer experience was a little better in handling my issue I would have enjoyed this shampoo a lot more. I would love to try out one of their other formulas, however the price is a bit steep to take the chance. ***UPDATE 06/26/14: Maple Holistics support contacted me and apologized for the previous mishap. They sent me another bottle of Degreaser and their Sage Shampoo right away. This interaction was with a different support member and much better than my previous experience. I'm now testing their Sage shampoo every other day and will produce a review of that when I feel I gathered enough data.

I actually thought this would be just another gimmick. I have fine oily hair but recently due to another hair product line, I started having an itchy scalp. so itchy that I actually booked an appointment with my primary doctor thinking I had lice! My doctor told me that there was a resistant strand of live going around and referred me to an actual lice professional. Which I didn't even know excited. I just knew when she took one look at my scalp she was going to say....yep you've got lice. However, she told me what she saw was obviously allot of inflammation and she could see places where I had scratched so hard that I had scabs. So she then referred me to a dermatologist. Well I had enough of referrals, some might disagree with my decision to not see a dermatologist and that's okay but I decided to do some investigating on my own. I looked up reasons for why my scalp could be doing this. From my hard water, to products with sulfate, to allergies, to hormonal imbalance, to hair coloring, to my PH being off, to the medicine I take and to what and how I eat. The one thing I noticed on all these sites were they suggested to start with a gentle sulfate free shampoo, the more free of chemicals the better. Which lead me to searching for the top rated, voted, preferred shampoo and conditioner I could find and every site had this product showing as the most preferred. So this is my 3rd week using it. The itching is almost a thing of the past. I went from waking up in the middle of the night and taking my nails and scratching as hard as I can. Running to the bathroom at work just to scratch my head. Looking at my watch when I had appointments with my customers, not really listening to what they were saying. All I could think of is I cannot wait to get in the car and scratch my scalp......to now maybe sn average of 3 times a day I might have sn itchy place on my scalp that I can scratch once and the itch is gone. The oil that I used to produce, had me wanting to wash my hair everyday, I wouldn't bc that's not good for your hair but I sure as heck would want to bc the 2nd day for me would look like a week for others (gross). Now I can go 2 days and my hair still looks clean and fresh. I could probably go a 3rd day but I haven't tried that yet.Now for those who have oily scalp but dry brittle hair, don't worry you can use this bc the product is gentle. Yes it cleans. However, it does not strip and we all know the difference. I also have not felt the need to put other products in my hair like mousse or volumizer or hairspray. Not that I did that much in the first place but I found that my hair looks gorgeous without it. Also, I use the Argan Conditioner with this based on me going to the sellers website and it showed that they recommend this shampoo and conditioner together. I like the conditioner and I will continue to use it as well bc I believe that pairing the two could give me the best results, just my opinion. However, I love....no not love....I AM OBSESSED WITH MAPLE HOLISTICS DEGREASE SHAMPOO! I hope my review helps others to give it a try and not just for a couple of days, to those impatient brothers and sisters of mine who are like me. Actually give it a real whole hearted try. Then I would say after a month if it doesn't work for you then at least you truly know if it worked for you or not. I hope all my Amazon peeps have a blessed day.

This is the real deal! I’m only able to wash my hair every week or so, and it was not actually getting clean and the oil out of it. One wash with this and several days later my hair is still not greasy or oily. I don’t know how they do it, but I will keep using it.

Help reduce oils in my hair… smells not overwhelming

I have combination (dry sensitive and oily) scalp and this caused my scalp and hair to be super dry. And in turn causes my hair to drop even more. On the other hand, my partner has oily scalp only, and he said it combat his scalp condition.

Produit d'une très bonne qualité !

Fenomenal, me da mucho volumen y me dura más tiempo limpio. Gran producto que siempre recomiendo a todos mis amigos

My hair is very greasy and i need to wash it everyday. After using this shampoo i reach the second and it doesnt look that oily . Will buy this product again.

Gran producto. He usado distintas marcas para cabello graso (muy graso) y sin duda está a cumplido con MI objetivo, mantener 24 horas el cabello sin aspecto mojado y sucio. A mí me ha funcionado.
