What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

Hask Soothe + Tea Tree Oil & Rosemary Shampoo draws complaints about how it cleanses and the packaging.

Smooth + Keratin & Jojoba Oil Shampoo

Companion product in the same Hask Smooth + Keratin & Jojoba Oil line (Deep Conditioner Packet, 1.75oz) carries a strong retailer rating aggregate at Target (4.5 stars, 654 ratings), suggesting positive reception for the line's smoothing/hydrating positioning though this is not the exact shampoo SKU

Rating aggregate for a companion line product, not this exact SKU -- no individual review text available

Positioned by the brand for daily use on frizzy, dry, or color-treated hair with a keratin/jojoba-oil smoothing claim; independent customer review text could not be fetched this session (see task notes) so this reflects brand-stated positioning, not verified reviewer sentiment

Sourced from brand product copy, not independently verified reviewer text

SkinSafe allergen database (2016-dated capture of the prior-formula listing) flags fragrance and methylisothiazolinone as the two ingredients preventing a 100%%-allergen-free rating, relevant to scalp-sensitivity concerns

Dermatology-database flag, not consumer review text; reflects the prior formulation

Soothe + Tea Tree Oil & Rosemary Shampoo

many reviewers say it soothes an itchy or flaky scalp, with a noticeable cooling or tingling sensation from the tea tree and mint

reviewers with itchy or flaky scalps

several long-time users say a recent bottle/formula change made it thinner and less creamy, and that it no longer cleans as well as the version they remember

reviewers who say they've used this shampoo for years

a few reviewers describe the current scent as stronger or different than before, with one calling it unpleasant, while others still describe it as pleasant and not overpowering

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 11 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
