content: I HATED this shampoo. My dermatologist recommended that I purchase this after having problems with my scalp. I used this shampoo and it was EXTREMELY DRYING to my hair. It left white residue in my hair and on my scalp. After the shampoo left the white residue in my hair it was also sticky.....I then had to wash my hair with a sulfate shampoo to remove the residue. My hair is natural and the key ingredient in this line is Sodium Hydroxide one of the main ingredients in Perms for black people and when you are natural you do not want that stuff on your hair because it breaks down the protein in our hair. I was so panic stricken and never used this product again. I had to return this shampoo and the conditioner. When my scalp flare up I now just use what I have always used and that is Neutroogena T-Gel shampoo, it too is extremely drying but less drying than the FREE&Clear line. I don't think that this line is hidious to African American/Bi-racial textured type hair.
