What Happened to Flex Shampoo?

By Staff WriterLast Updated March 25, 2020

As of April 2014, Flex shampoo is still produced by Revlon, although many varieties of Flex have been discontinued. Few stores carry the brand; however, it is available online at Amazon.com.

Flex was once a popular line of shampoos and conditioners back in the 1970s and 1980s because it had many of the same cleansing properties of salon-style hair products, but with a low price. In the 1980s, the makers of Flex created new packaging for the product with a high-end look; the new packaging apparently led people to assume that the price of the shampoo had risen significantly. As a result, Flex gradually became difficult for shoppers to find.
