ALL Aloe Rid green "detox" shampoos are no different than Head & Shoulders in clinical study

Your being trolled by Aloe Rid detox shampoo peddlers 

I was looking into “hair follicle detox” shampoos recently and noticed a pattern: 

 dozens of them have nearly identical names, bottles, and ingredient lists. When I dug deeper, I realized most of these products are just variations of an old discontinued Nexxus shampoo called Aloe Rid. 

After comparing ingredients ( nexxus aloe rid , toxin rid, zydot, macujo aloe rid, toxin rid original macujo).    I found that these so‑called detox shampoos all use basic commercial formulas Nothing special or chemically unique.   As   AI said     " It's a typical commercial shampoo formula from the 2010s."

AND BEING      ZYDOT  which is the same shampoo as all the rest all have same ingredients  same as   any store bought clarifying  / swimmers shampoo   proven to be no different than head and shoulders     this means all aloe "detox" shampoos are no better than head and shoulders    as shown in this study   
Manipulation of THC Hair Concentrations by Commercially Available Products  Study      
Out of curiosity, I even asked AI whether any of these shampoos could actually metabolize or remove drug compounds from hair.
AI Summery 

• Zydot ≈ 52% mean reduction
• Head & Shoulders ≈ 52% mean reduction
• Both had p-values above 0.05
• Therefore neither demonstrated a statistically significant effect

But scientifically we say “both were not statistically significant,” not that they are equal in effectiveness.
Because:

• Mean reduction ≠ proven effect
• Statistical significance determines reliability of the result

So the correct takeaway is:
The study found similar mean reductions (~52%) for both Zydot® and Head & Shoulders, but neither reduction reached statistical significance, meaning the results did not demonstrate a reliable effect.

Treatments intentionally used like Zydot® shampoo or ethanolic solutions/beverages like vodka or disinfectant did not lead to higher decreases in THC concentrations compared to products which are widely used within the population for hair washing or hair care. source 

I also discovered that many of the “sources” AI or search engines pulled up on these companies were completely fake — they used expired or hijacked medical domain names (for example, nursingscience.org ) that now host product promotions for these shampoos (and other products). That’s a huge red flag and shows how coordinated the marketing around these products really is. 
So despite the identical marketing claims, Zydot, toxin Rid, and all the other “aloe detox shampoos”  performed no better than Head & Shoulders in controlled testing.
