Most Helpful Positive Review

A Refreshing Boost for Your Scalp

As someone who regularly tests haircare products for a range of hair types and concerns, I recently put the OGX Clarifying + Rosemary Mint Shampoo through a two-week trial on both oily and combination hair. Here's what stood out: Performance & Feel: This shampoo delivers a crisp, invigorating exper...ience thanks to the rosemary and mint blend. The cooling sensation is noticeable from the first wash and can be particularly soothing for those with oily or itchy scalps. It lathers well, even with its sulfate-free formula, and rinses out clean without leaving residue. Effectiveness: It's clearly positioned as a clarifying shampoo, and in that regard, it does an excellent job. It removed product buildup effectively and left the scalp feeling refreshed and balanced. On oily hair types, it gave a noticeable lift and extended the time between washes. Downsides: For drier or textured hair, this formula may be too stripping. It doesn't provide much in the way of moisture, so if your hair is chemically treated, curly, or prone to frizz, you'll want to follow with a rich conditioner or use this product sparingly. Scent & Packaging: The scent is herbaceous and energizing—perfect for a morning routine. The packaging is consistent with OGX's signature design: compact, easy to grip, and recyclable. Bottom Line: OGX Rosemary Mint Shampoo is a solid pick for clarifying needs, especially for those with oily or buildup-prone hair. However, I wouldn't recommend it as a daily shampoo for drier or curly hair types. Use it once or twice a week as a scalp reset rather than a go-to cleanser.
