Dandruff. Can Anyone Recommend A Shampoo That Works?

It's me. I'm flaky . And DS, who's a teen & therefore unsure where the bathroom is.

And my scalp itches like crazy. Not sure about his, daren't ask him.

I've googled Dandruff, and we've been using Head & Shoulders for a couple of days, but the shampoo seems to be making the problem worse.

I wash my hair every day, and have done for 30+ years.

Anyone?

JASON tea tree shampoo is fantastic for dry flaky scalp. It comes in quite a large bottle, you only need a small amount at a time...so its lasts for ages and works out very economical. You can get in in most good health shops (and probably online). They do a really fab seaweed conditioner too, great for dry hair.

barefoot botanicals SOS shampoo is a bit on the expensive side. but very very worth it. Anyone I know who has used either the shampoo or conditioner has been hugely impressed with the results.

I mostly use the Jason one, but splash out on the SOS one now and again.

I have used the T Gel and found that worked
I used to wash my hair every day too, but as I have got older, my hair has got drier and i now have to wash it every 2-3 days

If it's new and not previously a problem you may find an antifungal shampoo helpful.

nizoral

You can buy it in boots and similar places
