Review: I find this stuff works really well and it's much cheaper than the type I was using before. It does have a thin consistency, but I don't mind it, actually it makes it easier for me to apply. The way I do it, I apply it on my dry scalp using a hair dye applicator bottle with a pointed tip (like you could find in a beauty supply store or box dye kit). Shake the shampoo really well first, and then put the amount you estimate using into the dye applicator bottle. Then I use the pointed tip of the bottle to go down my scalp in rows, much like if you were dying your roots, only it doesn't have to be that precise. Either periodically while applying or after I've applied it all, I massage it around on my scalp to make sure I cover any spots that I might have missed with the bottle. Then I put my hair up in a bun and wait anywhere from 20 or 30 minutes to an hour. After the times up I get in the shower and lather it up and wash it out like normal and follow with a good smelling regular shampoo to try to banish the smell (though I find I can sometimes still smell it faintly anyway). Still, I'll take the faint smell over flakes and sores on my scalp any day, and I haven't found another type of product that works as well as the tar. If it's your first time using this type of product you'll need to build up the amount of time you leave it on your scalp for so that you don't end up irritating your scalp worse. (And obviously there's no point of leaving it on longer if it works well enough at a shorter time). I have very long naturally dry hair, so I don't like to wash it too often, but washing too infrequently causes worse scalp issues. That's why I like the method of leaving it on longer, which seems to work better and allow me to get by with less washing. It does have a strong smell, but I can't count that against it since I suspect it's due to the active ingredient, coal tar, which is providing the desired effect, since all coal tar shampoos I've tried have a similar strong smell.
Review: Personally, I get more dandruff relief from coal tar shampoos. I only use it whenever my head begins to get itchy, maybe one or two times a week. I think it dries my hair out, so you probably wouldn't want to use this daily. The one at Walmart kept going up in price for no reason, so I needed to switch to something more reasonably priced, that specifically has coal tar as the active ingredient. This one fit the bill. The shampoo was contained in a bag when the package came in. Immediately, you could smell the coal tar scent. The shampoo itself is a runny, watery black liquid. I had expected it to be a lot thicker and gel-like. It can be quite annoying to have it seep between your fingers before you get it on your head. The coal tar scent doesn't linger too long, as I give my hair a thorough rinse and put in a conditioner that overtakes the scent anyway. Overall, I like it. Keeps my hair free of dandruff for a few days at a time, does the job at a more reasonable price than the one at Walmart.

This is such a fantastic shampoo that I don't know where to start. First, which is arguably the most important, is that it doesn’t stink. Like at ALL. You may smell a bit when washing (and that's a maybe), but thay typcial coal tar smell you get with other shampoos after getting out of the shower will not be there. Even when your hair is dry, you will not be able to tell you used a coal tar shampoo. Two, the shampoo actually helps your scalp. It works well, though if your condition is severe you may need additional help with other meds. Make sure you use a bottle that will distribute it directly to your scalp, then lather and leave on for several minutes. I use a bottle that has the pointy thing at the end and put the shampoo in there. Three, it's makes your hair look beautiful! Or is it just me? I just got done telling my husband that this is the best looking my hair has looked in a long time and it's all thanks to this shampoo. Not the expensive ones you buy at Sephora. Four, my hair doesn't get oily quickly after using this. Huge plus! All around a fantastic shampoo, in general, with the added bonus of helping with scalp psoriasis and/or seborrheic dermatitis.
