4.0 out of 5 stars Flake Off, October 22, 2010

This review is from: GRANDPA'S BRANDS Pine Tar Shampoo 8 OZ (Health and Beauty)

Soaps and shampoos containing some pine tar can be helpful for skin problems due to the natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties inherent in pine tree saps. This shampoo is sometimes helpful with the itching and flaking due to dandruff, psoriasis, and eczema.

However, it should not be used more than once a week, since it can cause skin irritation. Also, it has a strong odor, as the other reviewer somewhat facetiously notes. I generally shampoo a second time and followup with a good quality conditioner with a more pleasant scent, after giving my hair a thorough scrub with my fingertips, massaging my entire scalp using the pine tar shampoo. If it works for you, you should see a marked improvement in itching and flaking, though flaking may be worse after the first use. Any increase in itching and redness means that you are allergic. In that case, discontinue use. If you do not see an end to flakes in a month, see a doctor about your scalp problems.

On a historical note, pine tar was one of the first commodities produced in the British colonies of the 1600s and 1700s that would become the United States of America in 1776. The anti=fungal and anti-bacterial qualities of pure pine tar helped to coat and preserve the hulls of ocean-going wooden sailing ships that first created a worldwide trade system.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works but Smells Gross, May 9, 2010

This review is from: Shampoo Wonder Pine Tar 8 oz 8 Ounces (Misc.)

This shampoo was recommended to me by a sales clerk at Whole Foods. I have very itchy scalp and dandruff that other non-medicated shampoos were not helping to alleviate. I wanted something natural and not full of Earth harming chemicals. I have to say that with the first application it worked fantastically. I did not itch and my hair did not come out dry or frizzy. I did end up returning the shampoo because the darned shampoo made my hair smell like truck stop beef jerky, and quite frankly I don't care for beef jerky. I thought the smell would go away once I dried my hair, but it did not. I will admit, though, that the smell wasn't quite as pungent. I'm a city girl, and I don't spend a lot of time in the woods, but the time I have spent in the woods I can honestly say that they did not smell like this horrendous shampoo. So, it works. Just watch out for the smell.

Yuck... Buy this product if you want to smell like a bon fire all day. I could even smell it after I showered the following day. The smell is very strong.
