before I go and fork out for the stuff.

I sometimes use that T-gel medicated shampoo as I get mild eczema too but also get a bit flaky at this time of year (with the dry, cold weather and all the heating).

Apparently it can be too strong for some people. My DH was using it and still had dandruff, switched to cheap as chips tea tree oil shampoo and it vanished in a week.

Yes, it works but it may take a couple of washes.

aah good tip. I'll try some of that (have some for the kids to ward off nits, not that it seems to work).

Problem I find with any of the slightly medicated ones is that they tend to bugger up your hair too.

It worked for me in teenage years - and it is still my favourite shampoo now, even though I don't have dandruff. It just makes my hair feel lovely.

No reason for H&S to work against nits. Completely different target organisms.

no no not H&S, the tea tree whomoved was talking about

which head and shoulders do you use? There seem to be a lot of them!

I think they all have the same amount of zinc pyrithione (the active ingredient against the bug that causes dandruff).

Yes I agree if you are from London, 100%

Great, thanks. Will try some and see what happens.

Hate this time of year with all the heating blasting out and cold, dry air outside. Aaarrghh!
