5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff for clearing up strange buildup, June 5, 2009

I had somehow developed a strange waxy buildup in my hair that I couldn't get out with other shampoos. My best guess is that it was a combination of cream rinse and shampoo that didn't play well together, but once it was there, it was almost as if I'd been using a pomade or something and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the waxy buildup in my hair.

I first tried quitting the cream rinse and then switching up the shampoos, but there was always this waxy residue that nothing seemed to get rid of.

Until this. It's pricey and I don't especially like the smell (like baby powder on steroids to me), but it could be worse. And wow, it was just what I needed.

A month later: Okay, I just really like this shampoo (except for the smell, which I guess I'm getting used to). It leaves my long hair consistently gorgeous... I wish I could explain better what I mean. My hair seems very smooth and manageable and healthy whereas normally, I tend to have a kind of too full / too frizzy issue to deal with. This is more like my younger hair, when I didn't have to think about any of this so much.

Also, FWIW, I've realized that you don't need to use as much of this shampoo as most shampoos, which mitigates the price.

My hair and I are hooked. :-)

Update: My first bottle came from the grocery store and then I just ordered this from Amazon. First, it IS three bottles, so they fixed the problem noted by some reviewers. Second, with Subscribe & Save, the price is in the ballpark of half what it costs in the grocery store. Third, it still smells. :-)

Update, March 2011: FYI that the current price is twice what I used to pay. This was six dollars for a 12 oz. bottle, and was a deal at that price (compared to the grocery store). Now, meh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not meant to replace your regular shampoo. Can strip your hair dye, November 17, 2009

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo is good at removing a build-up, but I would not recommend using it very often, especially if you have red colored hair. I think once-twice a week is OK, but if used more often, it can strip your color and make your hair weak and brittle.

The smell is something medicinal/herbal, but bearable for me.

If you:

a) have an oily scalp
b) use a lot of hairspray on a daily basis (or some kind of sticky hair product)
c) have thick, course hair
d) want to strip your hair color
e) use thickening shampoo often, (which deposits a film on your hair to make it appear thicker)
f) not afraid of products containing ammonium lauryl sulfate (one of the ingredients in this shampoo)

give it a try - you may like the result you will get after using it.
It will most likely leave your hair squeaky clean, but don't forget to use a good conditioner. Without a conditioner this shampoo leaves my hair quite dry.

I will not repurchase Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo for a while: I don't use it often + it is very concentrated, so you use less of it, (which is actually a plus).
I can't give it more than 3 stars because I think Neutrogena should have put a warning on the label for people with color treated hair. Also, their claim "for all hair types" is a little bit misleading - I don't think it is good for people who have a very dry scalp. From normal type of hair to oily - more likely, but not for "all hair types".

Fantastic product, use one a week and your hair feels really clean. Wish you could buy it in the U.K. HOWEVER be warned Amazon advertises this item as a pack of 3 but when delivered is only a pack of 1. I thought it was a error the first time but when it was resent the same thing happened again
