Reviews say Neutrogena Anti-Residue is a good clarifying shampoo that removes the buildup and residue of styling products without leaving any residue of its own. Experts recommend using a clarifying shampoo once a week, especially if you use a thickening shampoo or a lot of hair products.

This simple shampoo is good for all hair types and has been around since 1980. Some users say it has a medicinal smell. Reviewers also recommend Dove Shampoo (*est. $4 for 12 ounces), saying that it cleans well and has a nice scent, but experts say there's nothing particularly exceptional about its formulas.

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo gets its strongest endorsement from Paula Begoun, author of "Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me." We found helpful user reviews at Amazon.com, Epinions.com and the Walgreens website.
