Klorane Shampoo with Nettle Review: Does It Really Help Oily Hair?

This review is based on my experience of using Klorane Shampoo with Nettle. Product formulations can change over time, so always check the latest ingredients before purchasing.

My Hair Has Always Been Prone to Oily Roots

I’ve always had very thick hair, but one thing I’ve struggled with for years is oily roots.

If I leave my hair too long between washes, it quickly starts to look flat and greasy, especially around my fringe. Finding a shampoo that cleanses thoroughly without stripping my hair has always been a bit of a balancing act.

So when I was given the opportunity to try Klorane Shampoo with Nettle, designed specifically for oily hair, I was keen to see whether it could help me wash my hair less often.

First Impressions

The first thing I noticed was the fragrance.

Although it’s made with nettle extract, the scent wasn’t overpowering. Instead, it reminded me of being outdoors as a child, building dens in the woods. It has a fresh, natural smell that’s pleasant without lingering too strongly after washing.

The shampoo itself is quite lightweight with a runnier consistency than many shampoos I’d used previously, but it lathers well and leaves the hair feeling thoroughly cleansed.

My Experience After Using It

I used the shampoo on its own for just over a week without my usual conditioner because I wanted to see how it performed by itself.

Normally, skipping conditioner would leave my hair tangled and difficult to brush, but I was pleasantly surprised.

My hair felt:

• Cleaner for longer

• Soft and silky

• Easy to brush

• Healthy without feeling weighed down

Most importantly, I noticed that my roots and fringe weren’t becoming oily quite as quickly as they usually would.

Although everyone’s hair is different, I felt the shampoo helped keep my hair fresher between washes.

How Does Klorane Shampoo with Nettle Work?

Klorane developed this shampoo specifically for oily hair.

The key ingredient is nettle extract, which is traditionally used to help regulate excess sebum on the scalp.

Sebum is the natural oil produced by the scalp to protect both your skin and hair. However, when too much is produced, hair can quickly become greasy and limp.

Klorane states that the shampoo helps absorb excess oil while leaving hair feeling clean without over-drying the scalp.

The formula is also:

• Suitable for oily hair

• Paraben free (at the time of my review)

• Designed for frequent use

As always, it’s worth checking the manufacturer’s website for the most up-to-date ingredient list, as formulations can change.

What I Liked

✔ Left my hair feeling exceptionally clean

✔ Helped reduce oily roots between washes

✔ Gentle enough for regular use

✔ Fresh, natural fragrance

✔ Left my hair feeling soft even without conditioner

Anything I Didn’t Like?

The only thing that took a little getting used to was the thinner consistency compared with many traditional shampoos.

Once I realised a little goes a long way, it wasn’t an issue at all.

Would I Recommend Klorane Shampoo with Nettle?

If you struggle with oily roots and feel like you’re washing your hair every day, I think this shampoo is definitely worth considering.

It left my hair cleaner for longer, reduced excess oil around my fringe and made my hair feel soft, healthy and manageable.

Based on my experience, I’d happily use it again and would be interested in pairing it with the matching conditioner to see if it enhanced the results even further.

Final Thoughts

Finding the right shampoo for oily hair isn’t always easy, especially if you want something that cleans effectively without making your hair feel dry.

For me, Klorane Shampoo with Nettle struck that balance well. It helped my hair stay fresher between washes while leaving it soft, shiny and healthy-looking.
