Whoa. If you can't take strong perfumes, don't get this! While Flex is a great shampoo, this scent is unbearable for me. I can't get use to it. The scent is so strong it gives me a headache everytime I use it. Just imagine if someone dumped a whole bottle of cheap perfume into your bottle of shampoo, that's what this smell's like to me! Maybe the other formula's are better...

When I found Flex at Drugstore.com, I was thrilled to purchase a product I used as a teenager. I remember that it used to leave my hair shiny and smelling wonderful. It was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT to find that the product now, while it does still clean hair (but so would a bar of soap), leaves my hair frizzy and dry, with no shine to it. I am NOT a picky kind of shampoo person - Suave and Vo5 - some of the cheapest products, will work well on my hair and I don't have the problem with the frizz or lack of shine. I think the biggest let-down of all is that Flex DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME SCENT! Now it smells more like cough medicine than a soft summer day, and I'm stuck with a couple of bottles because I was so excited about getting the REAL balsam and protein Flex again.

I used Flex products way back when I was a teenager (I won't say how far back that was) and they always evoked carefree summer days with their fresh scent. I thought they had stopped production. After years of coloring, oil treatments, repair treatments, etc., etc., etc, I'd finally had enough. I cut my hair short and started a search for gentle but effective minimal hair care products that smelled good but weren't over whelming. Voila, I refound Flex. It still smells the same, a light balsam scent and still leaves my hair shiny and healthy. And, as usual, drugstore.com had the best price and availability. Thanks!

This does not strip my hair. Leaves hair soft. I use with the conditioner and love them both. The scent lasts in your hair and I like that. Hair is shiny and healthy after use.

I've used this shampoo since I was a little girl. Nothing gets my hair cleaner. I have full body & easy managability.

people always comment on how good your hair smells

I tried this based on the reviews and I was not impressed! It smelled terrible (it reminded me of a pine scented air freshener) and my hair was almost impossible to comb through. I used this with the conditioner and it really damaged my long, wavy hair. I had to toss it!

I have used this shampoo for many years. As opportunity presents itself, I try others...at motels, locally purchased, etc. Having just tried a bottle of Pantene, I'm back to Flex. Very satisfied.

Son said it is the best shampoo ever. I used Flex for a long time then got away from it. Used it again and don't know why I stopped. Hair looks & smell great.

I used this shampoo in high school. I loved it then, I love it now.
