    Flaking scalp resolved completely!

    I purchased this duo after an unsuccessful trial with a common dandruff shampoo. My hair felt like a bristle brush. Necessaire left it shiny, soft and free of flaking after first shampoo. I’m so impressed with your products!!!

    THE best fragrance free shampoo

    Seriously, I have tried probably 20 other brands and they didn’t come close. I pair it with the fragrance free conditioner.

    Excellent. Need bigger bottles!

    The perfect shampoo when you haven’t washed your hair in days, or when you just washed it yesterday. Cleans thoroughly and makes a perfect base for a thicker treatment, mask, or any conditioner. Can’t think of a reason to use any other shampoo.

    Perfect for Travel

    This was great for a recent weeklong vacation - these were the right size and I had no spills in my suitcase. 10/10!
