Shampoo for older children?

Could I ask what shampoo your older children use? My DD(9) has hair that gets greasy quickly but also is suffering from dandruff.

I'm looking for something not too harsh but also keeps the greasiness under control for her.

Hmm, I have a similar problem, made worse because so many shampoos irritate her. Head and shoulders is ok, as is Alberto balsam and she really likes the fruity scented Boots brand shampoo, at Christmas this was "fresh and fruity raspberry and goji berry". We bought several bottles of it at the time.

We also use conditioner, but not on the roots, just the ends.

I also find that changing the shampoo regularly helps. It's like her hair gets used to a particular shampoo and it stops working properly so we change to another after a couple of weeks - long before the bottle is empty. And we just rotate.

Lemon head and shoulders might be for you which is for greasy hair.

We all use the same shampoo though.
