How often should I use this tar shampoo?

Start with one or two washes a week, then adjust based on how your scalp feels. Alternate with a gentle shampoo if needed.

Will this shampoo strip my hair and make it feel dry?

Shampoo mainly the scalp and roots, then use conditioner or mask on the ends if your lengths are dry. You can also reduce wash frequency or contact time if hair feels rough.

Does the tar smell stay in the hair after washing?

The scent is smoky and woody, but it usually fades after rinsing. Wash in a ventilated area and rinse well to minimize lingering odor.

Can I use it if I do not have visible flakes but my roots get oily quickly?

Yes, this is also a useful deep cleanser for oily roots and product buildup. Use it as a scalp-focused wash, not on long hair that does not need it.

What This Shampoo Is For

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.

Key Ingredient and How It Works

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.

Who May Find It Useful

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 regularly
wear hats often
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.

Cautions

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.

Customer Questions

Start with once or twice a week, especially if your scalp is not used to tar-based cleansers. This gives you time to see how your skin responds. If your roots become oily quickly and the shampoo feels comfortable, you can gradually increase to every other day or even daily. Daily use is not a strict rule: tar shampoos are more thorough than many mild everyday cleansers, and some people only need them on wash days after heavy styling product use.A practical pattern is to focus the shampoo on the scalp and roots, let it foam briefly, then rinse. If the lengths need conditioning, follow with a conditioner or mask applied only from mid-length to ends. Because the formula combines several surfactants and contains glycerin and allantoin, the scalp is less likely to feel tight after rinsing, but this is still not a conditioning shampoo.If you wear hats often or use styling products regularly, you may need a deeper root cleanse more frequently. Judge the timing by how quickly the roots feel greasy rather than by a fixed schedule. Alternating this shampoo with a gentle everyday shampoo is also an option, especially during the first weeks. If your scalp becomes itchy, red, or noticeably more irritated, pause use and speak with a pharmacist or skin specialist.

Tar shampoos are designed to cleanse the scalp thoroughly, so the same washing action that removes extra oil can also remove natural moisture from the hair shaft if you scrub the lengths. This formula includes glycerin and allantoin to help the scalp feel less stripped after rinsing, but it is still not a heavy conditioning product. Use it mainly on the scalp and roots. Work the foam into the roots, leave it for a short time, then rinse. Let the suds run down the lengths as you rinse; there is no need to pile shampoo onto the ends.If your lengths are dry or porous, a practical routine is to apply a conditioner or a mask only from mid-length to the ends afterwards. You can also use a small amount of hair oil or leave-in conditioner on the lengths after towel-drying. Avoid putting these on the scalp if your goal is a deeper scalp cleanse. Some people with dry ends prefer to alternate this tar shampoo with a gentler shampoo, or to pre-treat the lengths with oil before washing. That is a general technique and does not change how the shampoo works on the scalp.How dry your hair feels also depends on how often you wash. If you use this shampoo more than a few times a week and notice the lengths becoming rough, reduce the frequency or shorten the contact time. The scalp may be fine, but the older parts of the hair cannot regain lost moisture on their own, so when in doubt, condition the lengths and keep the shampoo at the roots.

Birch tar oil has a distinct smoky, woody and slightly medicinal scent. This is not a perfumed shampoo, so do not expect a fresh salon fragrance. The smell is part of the formula and usually becomes weaker once the hair is rinsed and dried. If you rinse thoroughly, most people do not notice it strongly afterwards, although it can still be present close to the scalp immediately after the shower.To keep the scent less noticeable, do not leave the shampoo on longer than needed. Massage it onto the scalp, allow it to work for a minute or two, and rinse with warm water. Air-drying in a ventilated room may help dissipate the smell faster. Conditioning the lengths can also help mask the aroma on the hair, though it does not remove the tar character from the scalp area.If the smell bothers you, alternate this shampoo with your usual shampoo, or use it only on days when you feel the scalp needs a deeper wash. The tar scent is a common reason why tar-based products are chosen for practical cleansing purposes rather than for fragrance-led hair care. Keeping the jar closed after use also helps keep the product from spreading its smell through the bathroom.

Yes. This shampoo is for people whose scalp tends to become oily quickly, whether or not visible flakes are present. Birch tar oil helps loosen the greasy film and built-up dead skin cells on the scalp, which is useful when roots lose freshness faster than the rest of the hair. People who use styling products regularly or wear hats often may also find this type of wash helpful, because those habits can leave residue that makes hair look flat or oily at the roots.In a routine, use it as a scalp-focused shampoo rather than an all-over polish. Massage a small amount into the roots, let it foam, and rinse. If the lengths are fine, you do not need to work the shampoo through them. Follow with conditioner on the ends, or skip it entirely if your hair does not need extra moisture. Many people pair this with a more moisturizing mask on the ends when they want both a clean scalp and softer hair.Because it cleanses thoroughly, the result is often a scalp that looks and feels fresher between washes. This is a cosmetic product for cleansing and care, not a treatment for any skin condition. If the scalp becomes painful, blistered, or noticeably more irritated, stop using the product and consult a pharmacist or skin specialist. For an oily-root pattern, consistency matters more than any single wash: regular cleansing keeps residue from accumulating, which is why visible flakes may become less prominent over time.
