Most Helpful Positive Review Terrific product!! I LOVE this product! I swim most days in a chlorinated/saltwater pool and this is the ONLY shampoo that removes the build-up and chlorine out of my hair and makes my hair feel normal again. My hair is soft and easy to manage after using Fairy Tales Lifeguard. It smells wonderful, too! What they say on the bottle is true!! Good bye frizzy, unmanageable dried out hair! Hello squeaky clean hair! My hair and I are really happy I found this product.
Most Helpful Critical Review Effective, But Not As Good As Salon Brand, Overall I have prematurely gray hair, and the minerals in our hard water react to the heat of my styling tools to yellow it. I normally buy Paul Mitchell Clarifying 2 Shampoo to brighten my whites and silvers, but tried this because it was less expensive. This did remove the yellow from my hair, but it is much more harsh than the Paul Mitchell. It also stinks - like Juicy Fruit gum. The scent is so strong that I washed my hair twice with my regular shampoo after using it to rid my hair of the sickly sweet bubblegum stench before I conditioned. I'll probably use up the bottle, but I definitely won't buy it again.

since this was marketed for kids I though it was tear free, however after washing my daughters hair she started screaming when it got in her eyes. It might as well be an adult shampoo.
I don't know that I'd buy again 3
AnjiP from Hammond IN
It doesn't make my hair fall out as much as other clarifying shampoos but it also smells really sweet, almost nauseating.
It didn't help like I was hoping. 3

I used this product on my daughters hair hoping that it would get all of the chlorine and gunk out of her hair and it didn't make any difference. I was very disappointed.
Saved my over toned hair 5
Tay from USA
I recently had my hair bleached platinum and was trying to get it lighter by using purple shampoo. Unfortunately I went a little crazy with it and turned my hair an ashy color with purple highlights and was worried I had ruined my hair. I bought this and used it just one time and it took all the purple out and brightened my hair! Definitley buy it.
didn't work 1

Tried using it to get green out of my blonde hair and honestly it didn't get any of it out
Great product for swimmers. 5
Sara from Naples, FL
My daughter uses this product. She is 15 and is a competitive swimmer and this product has been life changing for her color treated hair. She uses it every day she swims. Makes her hair more manageable
Plan on buying this on a regular basis. 5
For the grandkids from Lubbock, TX
Great for the kids... gentle & easy.
Effective but not my favorite 3
Allie from Minnesota
I wanted a sulfate free clarifying shampoo and this fit the bill. It does a good job of leaving my hair feeling clean, but I HATE the fruity smell (smells like urinal cake to me) so I won't be rebuying it.
Works 4
Em from Columbus, OH
Removes chlorine green after a few washes; makes hair soft
Great for fine haired heads! 5
Everyday mom from Central Ca
This product has been very helpful with keeping my children's hair healthy from all of the swimming that they do during the summertime. It is also good for us moms who have colored hair. it helps with faded color.
Works great! 5
Amanda from Clarksburg, WV
This works great for my daughters blonde hair that turns green quickly with chlorine!
This is the best swimmer shampoo I have ever used. 5
Stephanie from Evanston, il
My hair is in better condition now than before swimming. My hair is no longer gummy with chlorine the ends are not brittle. My scalp feels great. My hair is shiny not dull and matte like chlorine leaves it. It doesn't leave me dry or greasy. I've used a lot of swimmer shampoos. Most didn't work or made my hair so brittle it would snap off
I always buy this. 5

Fairytales lifeguard clarifying shampoo and conditioner 4
KT from Port Charlotte, FL
This shampoo and conditioner work great. My son has very thick hair and it gets out all the build up of oil and product. Conditioner puts moisture back into hair after shampooing.
Great product for kids 4
Crunchymom from Texas
A great product for the kids that isn't full of chemicals but still works very effectively.
great clarifying shampoo 4
C from Ann Arbor, MI
I use this as a clarifying shampoo because we have hard water and I still get buildup despite a whole house softener. It smells great and seems to remove all of the styling products I use. My daughter also uses it after swimming and it really decreases the pool smell.
It's just OK 2
turtleby2 from Raleigh,NC
I bought this for my sons who have started competition swimming, so they are swimming on a daily basis. it doesn't work as well as I had hoped. it has a nice smell and it's OK, but we had to use a different swim shampoo to get the chlorine stickiness out of their hair.

Every summer I buy this product 4

To use after a day in the bech or the pool
Thank you for creating an allergy friendly haircare line. 5
GradeAHoarder from PA
Purchased this for my daughter who has severe tree nut allergies. It is very hard to find haircare that doesn't contain tree nut derivatives that isn't also completely useless and made for babies. Chlorine from the pool has wreaked havoc on her hair this summer and this works amazingly well to clean it out. It smells like orange smarties! She's obsessed. I will be trying more from your line for sure!
I would buy this again 5
Sparkles from Youngstown, OH
I use it after swimming to prevent chlorine build up.

KH from St. Petersburg, FL
Since the Malibu treatment I was looking for to treat hard water/rust in my hair is only available online, an Ulta employee told me this would "probably work." It didn't. I will be returning it.
Only used it a few times but I really like it 4
Djsd from Auburn CA
I have 4 daughters with blond hair that was turning light green from swimming. We have only used the shampoo a few times but I am not noticing the green any more!
