I've heard a fair bit about charcoal products recently. A colleague at work was drinking an 'active charcoal' drink, and my girlfriend bought some charcoal toothpaste so it's clearly on trend.I'm really not very fussy about my shampoo - I have short hair and usually shop by 1) price and 2) scent. The bottle of the NIVEA Men Active Clean Shampoo is sleek and distinctive due to being black with metal tones. I know it's a weird thing to say but it's a good size and shape for using in the shower - not awkward or slippy.The shampoo lathers up nicely, the scent is pleasant, and my hair definitely feels clean after using and there's no irritation, but to be honest I expect this from all shampoos.

The main point of difference for this shampoo is the 'active charcoal' ingredient which presumably is the reason for the fact that the shampoo looks like liquid metal. It's a novelty factor but it's pretty cool and helps it stand out, meaning I like to use it over my other shampoos at the moment!

This shampoo is amazing...I’ve used other professional shampoos in the past & they did clean my hair, but this is the 1st shampoo that I’ve used where the following day, my hair still felt soft as silk & felt CLEAN & not oily & dirty. I’ve been using a cheaper shampoo for a couple years thinking shampoo is shampoo. Well, I started getting these pimples, scalp acne, cystic bumps or whatever you want to call them, all over my head & neck. After just a couple days of using this shampoo, the scalp acne has shrunken to barely noticeable & my confidence has skyrocketed because those disgusting bumps disappeared & when a woman runs her fingers through my hair, she can tell me how soft my hair is without saying, “your hair is really soft, but what are all these bumps?

Did you stick your head in a hornet nest & get stung 1,000 Times?” Lesson learned...you get what you pay for & while this shampoo may seem a bit pricey, it goes a long way for me & my entire head feels clean, not just my hair. This bottle will last me a while. So happy I found it & tried it...

Initially when I received this product, I was unimpressed with the branding. I thought that it was the body wash as it is near identical in styling to the Nivea for men body wash which when looking at on the shelf I would not assume was shampoo. I decided to get best use out of the product to take it to the gym with me for my daily shower in a morning. Upon first using the product I was surprised that unlike every other product i have used with charcoal within its ingredients that it was not black and left no stain marks after usage which is a big plus factor for me. The product has a pleasant smell and gives a good lather when applied to the hair. I have had the product for a little over two weeks now and still have more than half a bottle, which for everyday usage ... MoreInitially when I received this product, I was unimpressed with the branding.

The product has a pleasant smell and gives a good lather when applied to the hair. I have had the product for a little over two weeks now and still have more than half a bottle, which for everyday usage is very good. In regards to the product itself i believe that for the majority of men it will be sufficient.I felt that the product does indeed remove all product and residue from my hair and as a user of hairspray and strong wax with other shampoos this usually takes more than one wash. However, that being said i felt my hair was left feeling very wire like and as if i was causing more damage than good. In conclusion I think this is a good product that does indeed remove all traces of gunk and muck, but at the cost of the condition of the hair. That being said once conditioner was applied there were no issues, balancing the playing field. I would recommend that men op to try this as in comparison to the other mainstream options available in today's market i believe that this indeed is one of the better options. I will continue to throw this product into my gym bag and use it as part of my daily routine.
I think this shampoo has a nice scent, but other than that I have found that it does not lather up very well so I have found that you require more shampoo to provide an even covering. I also found that it has left my hair feeling very dry and almost course feeling. I use many other products by this brand and I highly recommend their products but that being said I have not found this product to be as satisfactory.This one is labelled as containing "active charcoal" and the gel itself is a sort of metallic black colour - it seems a bit unusual the first time that you see it.As a shower gel I find it works well and leaves my skin feeling clean, and no irritation anywhere. I only use it as a shower gel (on all parts of my body) after using it as intended I find it ... MoreI think this shampoo has a nice scent, but other than that I have found that it does not lather up very well so I have found that you require more shampoo to provide an even covering.

I only use it as a shower gel (on all parts of my body) after using it as intended I find it works better as a all over body shower gel.If you spill any of it on tiles or the shower curtain and leave it to dry - it does set relatively solid and needs a little bit of effort to wash it off later.
I was quite excited to try this, as I've used charcoal-based cleaning products in the past, and loved them. They were exclusively for the skin / body washing, though, and so I was intrigued to find the same principle being applied to shampoo. The formula itself is quite thick, so I found you only need a little bit to work up a great lather to massage into your hair and scalp. And when you rinse it off - wow, what a great, fresh clean. How much of that is psychological (the whole hype around charcoal being a dirt magnet is really convincing!) is debatable, but it left my hair feeling properly cleaned. It has quite a strong, masculine, Brut-ish scent, which I loved, although I guess that won't be for everyone. Likewise, the branding is very 'male', so this is shampoo ... MoreI was quite excited to try this, as I've used charcoal-based cleaning products in the past, and loved them.

All in all, I really like it, and am won over enough to keep buying it in future.
Nivea Men Active Clean Shampoo comes in a 250ml black and grey bottle with moulded side grips and a gratuitous drawing of an icosahedron and spheres to represent "active charcoal" that immediately shouts "made for men!" which I guess is useful in a bathroom full of non-black things but otherwise a bit angry-looking.It doesn't have that annoying fashionable opening with the plastic seal that bursts open and spurts overly large doses at once, but just a small hole in a lid which can be screwed off if you want a bigger amount or to add water to get the last bits out.It doesn't have any particular usage instructions: chuck on, rub and rinse. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now by doing just that in my shampoo rotation, which is currently 2 different brands ... MoreNivea Men Active Clean Shampoo comes in a 250ml black and grey bottle with moulded side grips and a gratuitous drawing of an icosahedron and spheres to represent "active charcoal" that immediately shouts "made for men!" which I guess is useful in a bathroom full of non-black things but otherwise a bit angry-looking.It doesn't have that annoying fashionable opening with the plastic seal that bursts open and spurts overly large doses at once, but just a small hole in a lid which can be screwed off if you want a bigger amount or to add water to get the last bits out.It doesn't have any particular usage instructions: chuck on, rub and rinse. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now by doing just that in my shampoo rotation, which is currently 2 different brands to prevent a build-up of residue, washing my hair every one or two days. My shower is rubbish so I tend to wash by lying in the bath.My hair is fairly short and frankly thinning so a small blob will do, and I don't feel a need to do a second wash even if I've had a particularly grubby day, which is a plus. A good three minute scrub and rinse under the water gets it out quickly, leaving a nice scent which I genuinely cannot describe but I quite like, though it fades fairly quickly.I've never felt dirty after using it, I haven't experience a greasy build-up, and most importantly my hair doesn't experience itching or dandruff after using it, which is a massive plus. Conditioner can be used afterwards to give a bit of extra volume/sleekness, but again I don't have thick enough hair to make it look particularly lush anyway. Oh, and it's a surprising silver colour, which makes a change from translucent gloop.I'm not sure I have any criticisms. It's nice to have a unique smell, although perhaps something that stuck around for longer would be nice, and I am not sure I've been convinced why charcoal is useful in shampoo: I understand why it's good in fish tank filters, but does it really do the same job? Also I appreciating cosmetics having animal (non-)testing credentials on them, so adding a label to that effect would be encouraging.Anyway, would recommend anyone try it out, and you certainly don't have to be a man.
Some really positive aspects to this shampoo but also a few negatives (dependent on your skin type):PositivesLove the smell. Masculine fragrance. Similar to some shower gels on the market.Unusual colour which I really like but may be off putting for some. Included this in the photo so judge for yourselves!NegativesI have sensitive skin and so could not use this everyday. Dried my scalp out. I have quite sensitive skin so this may not be a problem for all.Masculine fragrance can be too strong for some (my partner doesn't particularly like it even though I do).Overall a decent product and would happily take one away for a small holiday, city break but would not use everyday as my go-to shampoo because of my sensitivity to it.
The colour of the actual shampoo itself is very unusual but in keeping with the colour of the packaging (black/grey) which i thought was pretty cool. i also think that the smell of the shampoo is very appealing and i can honestly say its the best smelling male shampoo i have ever used. Only downside was that i did find that my face became very dry after the shower when i used it. i dont know whether this is just because i am using a new shampoo as i very rarely swap brands. despite this i would continue to use this shampoo based upon its smell, colour and texture which really appealed to me. i do not know what the price of the product is which is one downside. also whether the product comes in various sized bottles? i normally prefer to buy big bottles of shampoo to ... MoreThe colour of the actual shampoo itself is very unusual but in keeping with the colour of the packaging (black/grey) which i thought was pretty cool. i also think that the smell of the shampoo is very appealing and i can honestly say its the best smelling male shampoo i have ever used.

Miniature versions would be handy for travelling/holidays. Packaging wise the colours probably wouldn't stand out on the shelves but i would buy now i have used it. overall, i like the product a lot and i would change my shampoo supplier based on what i have used so far.
This product not only cleans hair but when you squeeze it out the bottle looks like liquid metal. Who doesn't want their hair cleaned by the T1000 from Terminator 2 Judgement Day? Youight think it's mercury, but you would be mistaken, mercury is being saved for tuna, this stuff has coal in it. So when all the coal power stations shut down coal miners can still have jobs, thanks to Nivea and their coal shampoo. Donald Trump's dream has been realised! You might remember photographs of every Victorian child ever, they were all chimney sweeps, and think that coal is dirty, but it isn't. This coal shampoo cleans hair amazingly and left my scalp feeling fresh. No longer do men have to smell like flowers and random fruit after being in the shower, Nivea have empowered men ... MoreThis product not only cleans hair but when you squeeze it out the bottle looks like liquid metal.
