Anti dandruff shampoo for kids

Not sure if this is the right place to post but does anybody know of an anti-dandruff shampoo, specifically for kids?

I use currently use kids Vosene Tea Tree - 2 in 1. So ideally, one that also repels lice would be great as well.

TIA.

Do you not get along with the Vosene? Because I would recommend that! Otherwise, Anovia in pound shops/home bargains (there is also a spray).

My hairdresser friend says not to use anti-dandruff on the kids as it works by stripping the scalp due to its acidity. She says as soon as you stop using it then the dandruff comes back. Instead she recommended using a moisturising shampoo - only the very smallest amount and then lots and lots of rinsing of hair and scalp. This seems to be helping my DS so far - his dandruff was pretty bad......

Dry flaky scalp is different to dandruff - dandruff specifically is a fungal infection. Try the Lush solid anti-dandruff shampoo (forget the name) - the cade oil in it is a very good fungicide.
