As you will see here, one big beauty buzzword of the 70s was lemon (sexy lemon, even!), and that bright yellow vibe showed up in everything from perfumes to hair lighteners to, yes, shampoos.
But there was also another big trend in the haircare industry that really had roots in the seventies: the push toward products that were natural, organic, herbal and earth-friendly (at least compared to the products of the 1950s and 1960s).
To that end, below you’ll see shampoo of the 1970s like Earth Born, Herbal Essence, Sunshine Harvest, and several other variations on the theme.
Have a scroll and see the shampoos we took a real shine to in the glam and funky 70s — many of which were discontinued long ago!
Shampoos of the 70s: White Rain Lemon shampoo (1970)
We took the rich, shiny part of the lemon and squeezed its richness into a shampoo!
Shine should be seen, not hid. So open up new White Rain Shampoo with Lemon, and let the shine come through.
Rich bouquets of lather clean so thoroughly. Yet rinse out so clearly, so completely, you can clearly see the difference in the shine.
Lemon fresh and fragrant. White Rain Shampoo with Lemon. Nice twist for girls who like to shine. Especially nice for oily hair. Nice low price, too.
Breck Concentrate shampoo (1970)
You can shampoo seven days a week with Breck Concentrate. But you can’t shampoo away the shine.
Only Breck gives you those famous Breck conditioners in a deep-cleaning concentrate. Unbreakable tube, too. People who shampoo a lot need Breck a lot.

Colorfast Clairol Shampoo (1970)
Don’t shampoo out what you just shampooed in. Colorfast Clairol Shampoo won’t fade your hair color.
It’s a fact. Ordinary shampoos wash out your hair color. That’s why so many hairdressers use Clairol Shampoo instead. It has the special colorfast formula that leaves your hair in great condition. Soft. Clean. Shining.
When you shampoo, do as the hairdressers do. After all, who else knows more about hair coloring. The green formula is for brunettes and redheads. The blue formula for blondes. Liquid or Concentrate.

My long hair is manageable and tangle-free because every time I shampoo I use Everynight Rainwater Soft Rinse.
Shampoos of the 70s: Ultra Sheen Shampoo (1973)
Ultra Sheen tells a difference story. Different kinds of hair have different kinds of problems. And they need different kinds of treatment to make them look their best. Ultra Sheen knows that. That’s why we make two different kinds of shampoo.
Ultra Sheen Creme Shampoo is made for normal or dry, delicate hair. It’s so gentle it won’t strip your hair of natural oils. And it’s made with lanolin to leave your hair soft and manageable.

Cor-Tress shampoo (1973)
Introducing Cor-Tress… the cortexing shampoo. New Cor-Tress… the shampoo that restores the complexion of your hair.
Did you know your hair has a complexion? It’s called the cortex. It’s where the color and life of your hair are. When the exposed cortex gets dirty and dulled, your hair’s complexion is hidden.
That’s why we developed new Cor-Tress the cortexing shampoo. Cor-Tress is specifically formulated to work as a gentle Cleansing cream for your hair. It penetrates to clean and bring back life to the exposed Cortex — to restore body, manageability, and natural highlights.
Cor-Tress. Because your hair’s complexion should be as lovely as the rest of you.
Vintage Clairol Great Body shampoo from Clairol (1973)
Confessions of a shampoo-nut. (“P.S. Thanks to Great Body Shampoo, Jim, who was really a rich millionaire in disguise, asked me to marry him!”)
Wash and Comb Shampoo, from Noxell (1973)
Shampoos of the 70s: Wella Balsam shampoo and conditioner (1974)
For beautiful hair, get the original balsam. Wella Balsam. You can really tell the difference. Wella Balsam Instant Conditioner is the original balsam. The first balsam ever. It did something so fantastic that everybody tried to copy it.
It makes hair stronger, smoother, shinier, bouncier, and more beautiful than ever, in just 60 seconds. And today there are over 100 imitations. Most of them are less expensive but none of them give you the quality of Wella Balsam.
Wella Balsam Conditioning Shampoo. Most shampoos just remove dirt and oil from hair. That leaves it clean but unprotected, vulnerable to damage. But Wella Balsam Conditioning Shampoo takes out dirt and oil and then gives something back: a strengthening, protective treatment of Wella Balsam conditioning, with every shampoo.
So don’t buy just another rip-off. Get your head together with the original. Wella. One of a kind. Like you.
The classic: Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (1974)
How often should you shampoo your hair? Shampoo often enough to keep your hair looking its best. Most women find their hair is prettiest the first day after they wash it — when it’s so clean each strand of hair flows free and doesn’t cling to its neighbor. If that’s the case with you — it’s good to know your hair can be washed as often as every day — if you use a gentle shampoo like Johnson’s.
Shampooing can give your scalp the exercise it needs. You may have heard people say that frequent shampooing makes your hair get oilier. Not so! In fact, the gentle massage that a normal shampooing gives your scalp helps normalize oil flow. It’s like “exercising” your scalp and exercise is as good for your scalp as for any other part of your body.
Bleached or dry hair often needs shampooing before it looks oily. Bleached hair is often rougher than normal healthy hair, so it can trap dirt and sprays. It can look dull and unhealthy before it looks oily, so don’t wait for oiliness to shampoo. And this kind of hair needs a gentle shampoo, like Johnson’s Baby Shampoo.
Shampooing can add fullness to your hair. No matter how you wear your hair, long and smooth, or short and curly, your hair needs fullness to look its best. Hair can look limp even before it’s oily — so shampoo often with Johnson’s Baby Shampoo for a full, lively look.
- 27.1-fluid ounces of Johnson's Tear-Free Baby Shampoo for a mild, gentle clean for baby's fine hair and delicate scalp that won't irritate your baby's delicate eyes during bath time
- For over 125 years Johnson's formulas have been specifically designed for baby's unique and delicate skin and hair. Our baby shampoo is hypoallergenic, pediatrician-tested and free of parabens,...
- Mild and gentle cleansing shampoo is specially formulated to be as gentle to your baby's eyes as water and features Johnson's No More Tears formula to prevent irritation during bath time
Earth Born Shampoo (1974)
Earth Born… the new, non-alkaline shampoo with a difference you can see!
The Facts: A good shampoo should be more than a pretty fragrance. More than just gentle. It should be non-alkaline, like Earth Born– should match your hair’s natural pH balance — like Earth Born. Most leading shampoos can leave an alkaline residue. Upset the natural pH balance of your hair.
The Test: Scientists use a special pH test paper to measure alkalinity. The unretouched photo above shows what happened when this pH test paper was dipped in these shampoos. The darker the test paper turns, the higher the alkaline content. Only Earth Born didn’t turn the paper dark.
The Results: Earth Born restores hair to its natural non-alkaline pH balance. Leaves hair cleaner, softer, shinier. Adds natural body and bounce. Makes hair feel strong and healthy.
The Fragrances: Available in three formulas for oily, normal, or dry hair. Each with its own fresh, new fragrance. Green Apple Earth Born, Apricot Earth Born, or Avocado Earth Born.

Dorothy Hamill for Clairol’s discontinued Short & Sassy shampoo (1977)
Short & Sassy, the great conditioner for short hair, presents something new. Short & Sassy Shampoo!
Short hair, to look its very best, needs two things. Body and shine. And Short & Sassy Shampoo gives you both. It’s especially made for today’s short hair styles.
Its protein-enriched formula washes in the body and fullness that short hair needs to look healthy, shiny and bouncy.
New Short & Sassy Shampoo is gentle to your hair — of course! Yet it washes it clean. With a beautiful, rich lather that leaves your hair breathtakingly fresh and sparkling.

Chris Evert for discontinued Astringent Shampoo (1977)
“After I play tennis my hair feels oily and stringy. That’s why I use Everynight Astringent Shampoo.”
After tennis, my hair feels awful. It looks oily, stringy — and that’s no surprise. I work hard on the tennis court, and my hair shows it.
But you don’t have to play tennis to have oily hair. I have friends who don’t play tennis. And they have oily hair. Finally, we all have a new shampoo that really helps get the excess oil out. New Astringent Shampoo, from Everynight.
Astringent Shampoo works on oily hair the way astringents work on oily skin. Because Astringent Shampoo has oil removers, it actually blots up the excess oil. But it doesn’t dry out my hair. It comes out soft and shiny and full of body and highlights.
With Astringent Shampoo, I don’t get that icky, oily feeling as quickly as I used to. My hair feels cleaner longer. That’s a big plus. I really like Everynight Astringent Shampoo. I really use it. And if you’ve got oily hair, I really think you’ll like the new Astringent Shampoo too.
pH Balancer Shampoo from Clairol in Strawberry, Peach & Melon (1977)
My hairdresser did it. I can, too. (With my pH Balancer Shampoo and Fresh Hold hair spray)
My hairdresser knows more about hair care than I do. I guess that’s why my hair always looks its very best when he does it. That’s why I’m so glad I can use the very same salon products he uses — at home.
Like pH Balancer Shampoo. It’s the high-lather, low pH shampoo. Helps restore my hair’s natural acid-balance, leaving it healthy-looking and manageable. Shiny clean, too. And it’s available in four delicious fragrances — Fresh Strawberry, Georgia Peach, Honey Dew Melon, and Natural.
And like Fresh Hold Non-Aerosol Hair Spray. It was created especially for salons, so naturally it keeps hairstyles in shape. Does it gently — without stiffness, too. pH Balancer Shampoo and Fresh Hold Non-Aerosol Hair Spray. Now that I can use them, it’s almost like taking my hairdresser home with me.
Capri shampoo in Honeysuckle & Daffodil fragrances (1977)
Clairol Sunshine Harvest Shampoos (1977)
Possibly the six finest shampoos on the face of the earth.

So give Sunshine Harvest a try. And see if you don’t agree they’re the six finest shampoos on the face of the earth.
Six varieties: Red Raspberry, Fresh Peach, Tangy Lime, Wild Strawberry, Honeydew and Tangerine.

Shampoos of the 70s: Vintage Breck shampoo (1979)
Light conditioning — It’s here in Breck shampoo!
Breck shampoo gently cleans without stripping. Then gives a touch of light conditioning. Light conditioning for lots of light, bouncy body!
Agree Shampoo in 3 varieties (1979)
New Improved Agree shampoo helps stop the greasies.
A major problem with all hair types is that hair gets oily and greasy too soon after shampooing. We call this “the greasies.”‘ Excess oil builds up on the scalp, spreads to the hair, and attracts dirt and additional oil causing hair to lose body and become stringy and oily.
Tests prove that Agree is unsurpassed in its ability to help stop the greasies. Unlike some shampoos, Agree shampoo contains no greasy feeling additives. So it cleans hair beautifully without leaving a greasy residue. That’s why regular use of Agree helps stop the greasies between shampoos. Comes in Oily hair formula, Regular formula, and Balsam & Protein formula.

Great memories. I also liked “Small Miracle” shampoo (late 70’s) for it’s paraffin-laced straightening and awesome scent! :-)
I remember SO MANY of these shampoos! My favorites of the listing were Earth Born, Agree and Herbal Essence. I would LOVE to be able to purchase the original scent of Herbal Essence again. It was wonderful!
I am so happy you included the Clairol Shampoo pictured in green for dark hair but also available in blue for blondes. I now buy a shampoo and conditioner for blonde hair but no one wants to believe me when I tell them that a similar product was available years ago. Now your article is proof (thanks)!! I remember small packets of the Clairol Shampoo was included with their hair color.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane!
I LOVED Earthborn Apricot
How I miss the original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo, I’ve never forgotten its emerald-green color and how wonderful it smelled.
Another favorite was Revlon’s Milk Plus 6, the first combination shampoo/conditioner I’d ever seen, it was thick & white, smelled terrific and left my hair so soft & shiny, with no tangles after shampooing. I couldn’t always find it in the stores, so I bought what I could when it was available, the last time I saw a bottle as at the PX at Miramar NAS in San Diego in 1986.
If I’d known they’d be discontinued, I would have stocked up. I wish there were at least equivalents out there.
The Vermont Country store sells bottles Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific and Lemon Up shampoo, providing you’re willing to pay a little extra.
You are missing Head Shampoo.
Agree! Im looking for a pic. of the bottles…..
I loved Vel shampoo, Wella Kolestral for deep conditioning, Breck was a fave of mine; I would use Breck shampoo, and finish with a club soda rinse, and I am not exaggerating when I say my hair sparkled!!
My favorites from the 60’s & 70’s were Original Prell, Breck, Herbal Essence, Lemon Up, Faberge Wheat Germ Oil & Honey Shampoo & Conditioner. Then Love’s Lemon Shampoo, Conditioner & Cologne I miss this one especially so much. A few are available today but the formula and scents have changed, they don’t leave the hair looking and feeling thick, healthy & beautiful. They are full of chemicals.
I loved walking down sudsy memory lane! And seeing the vintage ads to go with each shampoo/ conditioner ad warmed my heart! I so remember when Pantene was only available in a department store. I always loved the fruity shampoos/conditioner. But I think my fav was Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific. I found a product by R&co called waterfall moisture and shine lotion that smells like Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific. The fragrance level is turned way down, but it’s there. Great product too, btw. I also loved Yucca Dew. Seems like it wasn’t around for long. I also fondly remember the Love’s Fresh Lemon products. Thanks for the memories!
I can’t remember the name of the shampoo that had real perfume essence…. perfume, perfume…
Love this. Apparently many people are still requesting the original Herbal Essences! https://www.southernliving.com/fashion-beauty/hairstyles/herbal-essences-history
And I remember all those lemon-scented shampoos of the 1970s!
I remember several of these and loved Herbal Essences, Agree, Earth Born, and pretty much anything fruit scented. Why don’t we have more fruit scented hair care products now? I like the perfumy scents but in the Spring and Summer I would appreciate some fruity smells!
