Product Overview

Scalp & Follicle Detox

Hair follicles can easily become weighed down by sebum, oil, and product buildup. Our Scalp & Follicle Detox Shampoo is designed to refresh and balance, giving your scalp a clean slate. 

This sulfate-free, pH-balanced formula is especially beneficial for dry scalps, with Manuka Oil to help retain moisture while White Willow Bark Extract gently sweeps away flakes and impurities.

Infused with herbal extracts of Burdock and Licorice Root, this shampoo soothes and comforts the scalp as it lifts away dirt and residue. 

Your hair is left soft, manageable, and full of renewed vitality, while the scalp and follicles feel freshly revitalized.

Gentle enough for all hair types, it cleanses without stripping away the natural oils that keep hair and scalp healthy.

FAQs

What is the Scalp Shampoo?

The Scalp Shampoo is a sulfate-free, pH-balanced clarifying shampoo that gently washes away oil, product buildup and loose flakes, leaving the scalp feeling clean, fresh and balanced and the hair soft and manageable. It is especially good for a dry scalp. It is made with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Burdock Root, Sarsaparilla Root, White Willow Bark and Licorice Root Extracts, Foraha, Castor Seed and Kukui Nut Oils, Allantoin and Panthenol, with Manuka, Bergamot, Spearmint, Lavender and Clary Sage essential oils.

What is a good shampoo for a dry scalp?

A good dry scalp shampoo, like the Scalp Shampoo, cleanses gently without stripping the scalp's natural oils and adds moisture back. Look for a sulfate-free formula with soothing botanicals and nourishing oils, and avoid harsh detergents, alcohol and artificial fragrance. Ours uses mild Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Manuka Oil to help hold in moisture, Foraha, Castor Seed and Kukui Nut Oils and calming Burdock and Licorice Root Extracts.

What causes a dry scalp?

A dry scalp often comes from cold or dry air, hot showers, harsh shampoos that strip natural oils, hard water and product buildup, and the Scalp Shampoo is made for a dry scalp. It cleanses gently and adds moisture with Manuka, Foraha and Castor Seed Oils. Use lukewarm water and follow with a conditioner. If your scalp is red, sore, very flaky or does not get better, see a dermatologist, since it may be a skin condition that needs care.

How do I use the Scalp Shampoo?

Shake the bottle well before each use. Wet your hair completely, then massage the Scalp Shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips and work the lather through your hair. Leave it on for a few minutes so the botanicals can work, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a conditioner suited to your hair type. Rinse with cool water for extra shine. For dry ends, follow with our Leave-In Conditioner.

How often should I use the Scalp Shampoo?

For best results, use the Scalp Shampoo at least twice a week. If you usually co-wash with conditioner or use another shampoo, use it at least once a week as a clarifying step to clear away oil and buildup from the scalp. It is gentle and sulfate-free, so it will not strip your hair. Always follow with a conditioner, and adjust how often you wash to how oily or dry your scalp feels.

How do I clean my scalp properly?

Focus your shampoo on the scalp, not the lengths. With the Scalp Shampoo, massage gently with your fingertips, never your nails, using small circles from the front hairline to the nape, and let the lather sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Rinse longer than you think you need, since leftover product causes buildup. Clarify regularly if you use dry shampoo or styling products, and wash brushes and pillowcases often to keep your scalp fresh.

Is the Scalp Shampoo color-safe?

Yes. The Scalp Shampoo is color-safe and made without sulfates or chlorides, so it cleanses the scalp without stripping your color. Its gentle formula is also kind to keratin and other professional treatments, helping them stay in place longer. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water, which is gentler on color, and follow with a conditioner. It suits all hair types and textures, including color-treated, gray and chemically treated hair.

Can men use the Scalp Shampoo?

Yes. The Scalp Shampoo works for men and women and all hair types, and we also offer it as the Men's Scalp Shampoo, with the same formula and ingredients. It is a good choice for men with a dry scalp, because it cleanses away oil and buildup without stripping and adds moisture with Manuka, Foraha and Kukui Nut Oils. Massage it into the scalp, leave it on for a few minutes and rinse well. Its herbal scent comes from Spearmint, Lavender and Bergamot Oils.

Does the Scalp Shampoo remove flakes?

Yes, it helps. The Scalp Shampoo gently washes away loose flakes, oil and buildup, with White Willow Bark Extract to help sweep away flakes and Manuka Oil to help the scalp hold moisture. Massage it in with your fingertips and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. It is a cosmetic shampoo, not a medicated dandruff product. If flakes are thick, yellow or greasy, red or keep coming back, see a dermatologist.

Is the Scalp Shampoo sulfate-free and vegan?

Yes. The Scalp Shampoo is free from sulfates, chlorides, alcohol, artificial colors, synthetic fragrance and parabens, and it cleanses with gentle Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate. It is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and every ingredient is listed on this page. It contains Kukui Nut Oil and essential oils, including Camphor and Spearmint, so check the full list if you have a nut allergy and try it on a small area first if your skin is sensitive. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

From Day One!

The best product ever for scalp issues. From the first use I noticed a big improvement and it keeps getting better and better! I had itchy painful bumps all over my scalp and they are gone with just 4 uses. Magic!

JN Scalp Shampoo

It's excellent! I wrote to JN customer service letting them know my scalp/hair issues and asking for their product recommendations. I have dry, itchy (but NOT flaky) scalp and dry hair. They recommended this shampoo for me to try - and it really does calm my scalp issues tremendously. I've tried so many other shampoos but none have worked as well as this one.

Scalp Shampoo

This has been the best (so far)! I have a ton of allergic contact dermatitis allergies, finding a shampoo that is fragrance free and gentle on the hair while not irritating my scalp at the same time has been incredibly difficult to do! After one use I was cautiously optimistic, my scalp before using the shampoo was highly inflamed, itchy, multiple sores. Even after just one use I noticed a difference. Now multiple uses in my scalp just keeps getting better!

Scalp shampoo is an excellent product

I have been buying this for many years. There must be certain healthy ingredients in this that takes the itchy scalp away and buildup that other shampoos just never worked on. I highly recommend this company that doesn't put cancer causing agents like parabens, sodium Laureth sulfates, colors, and too many other hazardous chemicals to list. I'm a customer for life

Good clean feeling.

Im not sure how this works. I think the constancy of the shampoo is too thick. I would want it to be a little lighter.

I have only been using this for a short amount of time but have been very happy with it so far. My hair feels clean but not stripped and dry. I was unhappy the pump did not work-I am missing a few fingers so pumps are helpful to me in the soap area-but I would still probably order this again.

Nice Feel

I've used this product a couple of time. It feels good on the scalp, but it seems to dry the hair out.

It works!

I originally tried this brand to control my psoriasis and bought the specific shampoo for psoriasis which definitely controlled my psoriasis, but it kind of smelled and made my hair very flat. I have thin, fine hair. So this time I decided to try the scalp shampoo and pair it with the thicker hair conditioner and magic happened! This still controls my psoriasis, but smells way better. It has a pleasant, subtle scent. This combination of products leaves my hair shiny and full. I couldn't be happier.

Does a good job on your Scalp

I found that I had to keep it away from my hair which is dry and stay just with my scalp. I use it for one shampoo and another shampoo for the second cleaning if I do it twice. Works well. Thanks.

Scale Detox Shampoo

I have psoriasis at the base of my scalp and it is itchy and is incredibly uncomfortable. The medication that was given from my doctor works, but is expensive and fairly toxic. I love this shampoo, it has helped relieve so much discomfort. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an itchy or irritated scalp.

Can't praise this shampoo enough

This is great for a dry, flaky, itchy scalp. No other shampoo I tried worked, but this one works perfectly on my scalp. I can't say enough great things about this scalp shampoo! The shampoo lathers well and has a light, pleasant scent, but the best thing about it is it makes my scalp happy!

gets rid of the problem

This scalp shampoo product has been a staple for me. I don't have dandruff, but it does wonders for my scalp breakouts. I only use it twice a week, and if I go about a couple weeks without using it, the problems reappear.

works great!

What a great nutritive product! I deal with scalp build-up as I am an African-American woman, and I don't wash my hair every day. This shampoo is amazing because it really cleans up your scalp. I usually shampoo twice with a really deep scrubbing and it works great!

Less smelly scalp

I bought this for dandruff and odor. I'm pleased to say that I can leave those issues in the past now. After a couple weeks, odor is a lot less noitceable and dandruff drastically decreased. I now recommend this company to all friends and family.

Very Refreshing

Had so much dandruff, no idea what was going on. Purchased this and not even a flake. Even using it feels refreshing and it's nice knowing I'm removing all the gunk without adding more.

very happy

I am very happy that i ordered this shampo. My scalp was very bad to the point i would wash today and truely 2 days later, dandruff everywhere especially the at the front of my head. I was restless, buying and ordering different products trying to rid myself of this scalp problem. I had sleepless nights trying to figure out what products to use this time. Every week i would have to wash my hair due to dandruff and odor. I always heard of just natural products, but thought they were too expensive. Well i'm very pleased that i gave in and ordered this shampoo. First week i saw little progress, second week less dandruff and very pleased to say less smelly scalp. I also purchased the vinegar rinse which also helped tremendously. Scalp problems can be very stressfull and embarrassing and it was for me. Thank you Just Natural, thank you.

greatest shampoo I've tried

Amazing shampoo. I am so happy i found this product. I have a problem with dandruff/yeast in my scalp. My dermatologist prescribed my something that worked but it was drying my scalp and hair; also it would break my hair. I found this product and decided to try it and it worked amazingly. It keeps my hair moisturized and my scalp cleansed; which is promoting healthy growth. I will definitely try more from this line of hair product.

great for dry scalp

So it really helped my dandruff, but I do have oily scalp so it tends to get itchy towards later in the day. I do love the brand but I think I need to find a better one that helps with the itchy.I know they have a itchy scalp one and I want to try that one. this one hands down was amazing at taking away dandruff. If you have dry scalp I recommend this for you, very gentle for it I just have oily hair so it is a little to soft i guess I could say.

beautiful lightweight hair

So far I love this product in terms of what it is doing for my hair - it feels so light and voluminous! I can even go a few days without shampooing and it looks just as clean - this is a huge plus as it is healthiest for hair to be able to skip a few days. I love all of the ingredients in this shampoo and feel good about using it. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I haven't seen much improvement with dandruff, which I expected with the "scalp" line. I haven't been using it long so I'm still hoping for positive results. I would keep using this even if my scalp didn't improve because my hair looks so thick and beautiful!
