Grandpa's Pine Tar Shampoo, 8 Fluid Ounce

I have no skin or scalp conditions but use this shampoo because it's great for washing your hair under the shower, the lather then becoming useful for cleaning your body when it cascades down after being rinsed out of the hair. I used to do the same using a bar of the pine tar soap but, although it does a good job on your hair too, this shampoo seems a tad better. I think the aroma is nice, smelling somewhat like the tree sap absorbed into the ground beneath a pine forest's canopy. I adore that smell but then, since birth, I have had a mysteriously inexplicable affinity with pine forests anyway. I always feel exhilarated and alive after using this stuff. I thoroughly love it.

Reduces flaky skin, but doesn't help much with itching

Me ayudó con la comezón en el cuero cabelludo pero el proceso de regeneración ha sido lento Si tiene olor fuerte pero nada muy sofocante Seguiré usándolo una vez por semana

Smells too strong, but it works from the first use! My hair is looking more healthy. No scalp itching. Will buy again.

The normal 'walk into a big box store and grab one off the shelf' kind of shampoo just wasn't cutting it anymore. My skin is 70+ years old and probably has a lot of damage from over the years. Never had a problem with itchy scalp or dandruft, but here I am with age setting in and I do. I tried Grandpa's Pine Tar Shampoo with an attitude that it couldn't hurt. Yes, I read the negative reviews and people complaining about smelling like smoke. I tried coal tar soap, and thought this couldn't smell any worse. To my delight, I love the scent of a smokey campfire (which no one else seems to smell after my hair dries). Even more exciting was to notice that my beard and hair don't tend to shed a whole lot of dandruft anymore. It is worth it to me to spend the extra dime to get a product that does make me feel much more positive about my hair (what's left of it). This works for me, and I am happy to give this product a very positive recommendation!

I have used this shampoo for the first time, and it seems to have a nice effect on the scalp...inflammation is reduced...hair feels full and clean. So what if it smells like I was at a campfire, if I suffer less. I have had Psoriasis Arthritis for 45 years! I have used tar shampoos my entire adult life. Since my chemotherapy and surgery in 2019, my psoriasis, arthritis, bone damage, and neuropathy have accelerated. My psoriasis is very bad, with MRSA inflaming it. I can no longer find adequate coal tar shampoos and ointments. The young man who commented that this pine tar shampoo smells bad, does not have a bad skin disease on his scalp, otherwise, anything that works can smell like manure, as long as it works. And if he had a bad enough scalp problem, his wife would be in support of his treatment for his diseased scalp. I read his comment before buying to see only his whinings about smell, lather and consistency. He made no comments about how effective the shampoo was, or if he even had a scalp skin disease or not. Toss his comments in the trash, because he has no bad skin problems stated. I have had tar smells on my scalp for 45 years. I have dated 100's of women and could have cared less about them not liking the smell. I would tell them, that if I didn't use the shampoo, they would be getting dandruff all over them when it got so bad. Furthermore, this shampoo has plenty of lather, once you wash out your hair oils, then reapply it again after rinsing. Big Pharma has removed adequate tar shampoos from the market, or limited them in coal-tar content, so that the public would still be desperate for their pharmaceuticals, such as SKYRIZI, which may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections. I have neuropathy in my feet, so this SKYRIZI would cause me to lose my feet, which are a high-risk status at my Podiatrist.
