Best smelling shampoo: what's the best one for you?

In this article you will learn about the best smelling anti-dandruff shampoos that not only prevent dandruff but also leave your hair with a pleasant fragrance. Head & Shoulders has developed Fresh Scent Technology, which uses increased levels of 'top notes' activated by warm water to enhance the scent during your shower. Options include the Apple Fresh 2-In-1 with a green apple scent and the Citrus Fresh Dandruff Shampoo, which offers a tangy fragrance while moisturizing your hair with natural ingredients.

Our shampoos not only prevent dandruff and its symptoms, they leave your hair smelling beautiful and looking healthy.

Fragrances are an integral part of the products we buy. Nobody wants to use a product that serves its function but doesn’t smell attractive.

The problem with some clinical shampoos on the market is that they leave your hair smelling medicinal. Shampoos should cleanse your hair but also leave it looking silky and smelling fragrant.

Fresh scent technology 

While Head & Shoulders specializes in being the world’s leading anti-dandruff shampoo,* we have also pioneered a new approach to enhance your shower experience.

Our scientists and perfumers worked together to develop Fresh Scent Technology. The shampoo fragrances have increased levels of ‘top notes’ that are activated by warm water, for more great scent in the shower.

The result? Dandruff-free hair** that smells amazing.

We have a wide range of anti-dandruff products that are formulated with Fresh Scent Technology:

Head&Shoulders Apple Fresh shampoo bottle splashed with a water and two apples in the side of the bottle.

This clean, crisp fragrance of green apple is what your silky hair will be left smelling like after washing with our Apple Fresh 2-In-1

If you prefer a tangy scent, our Citrus Fresh Dandruff Shampoo is designed to tackle oil and leave your hair feeling clean as well as smelling great.

The shampoo cares for your hair, leaving it beautifully moisturized.

Now you can use an anti-dandruff shampoo that fights flakes AND leaves your hair smelling amazing, whether it’s of citrus, fresh apple, or one of many other great scents in the Head & Shoulders range.
