I have a sensitive scalp and using the wrong shampoo or conditioner will often leave me with a dry, itchy scalp. I use the menthol variant of this shampoo and it is awesome. It gives my scalp a cooling sensation and relieves the itchiness. Its a little strong for everyday use but I always keep a bottle handy. It can even be used to clarify your hair and remove product build up. I love the minty smell and the queaky clean feeling it gives my hair but I recommend using a conditioning treatment like a mask afterwards if your hair is dry. I highly recommend this product.
