Tar Shampoo, 400g - Shik

Šikk SHIK Tar Shampoo 400 g is a cleansing shampoo for people whose scalp tends to become oily quickly and is often accompanied by visible flakes. Tar-based hair products have long been used when the scalp needs a deeper wash and a calmer feel after styling products, excess sebum or recurring scaling.

The key feature here is birch tar oil. In plain language, tar helps loosen built-up dead skin cells and reduce the greasy film that can make dandruff more noticeable. That is why tar shampoo is often chosen when the scalp feels itchy, looks uneven or gets oily soon after washing. The cleansing base combines several surfactants, so the foam lifts away oil and impurities, while glycerin and allantoin help the scalp feel less stripped after rinsing.

This formula may suit different hair types, especially if the main goal is a cleaner scalp rather than a heavy conditioning effect. It can fit a scalp-focused washing regimen for those who use styling products, wear hats often, or notice that roots lose freshness faster than hair lengths. If the lengths are dry, many people pair a tar shampoo with a conditioner or mask on the ends only, so the scalp gets a thorough cleanse while the hair remains softer.

Tar shampoos have a distinctive character and are usually chosen for practical reasons rather than a perfumed salon effect. With regular use, the scalp often looks cleaner and flakes may become less prominent simply because excess oil and loosened buildup are washed away more effectively.

If your scalp is very sensitive, start with occasional use and watch how your skin responds. Avoid the eye area, and if irritation becomes stronger or the scalp is damaged, pause use and seek advice from a pharmacist or skin specialist.
