The best dandruff shampoo for you will vary depending on your specific hair type and needs, but there are certain things you should always look for. Above all, you should look for one that you’ll love using every time you wash your hair, because dandruff is a recurring condition that can be treated but not cured.
Lots of people don’t realize it, but dandruff is caused by a fungus that is present on everyone’s scalps.
So, if you want to keep those locks looking fantastic and free of pesky flakes, your best chance is to make friends with a good anti-dandruff shampoo which has been specially developed to protect your scalp from the dandruff-causing fungus.
But with so many shampoos on the market, how do you choose the right one for you?
1. Choose a shampoo you will love using regularly
The key to preventing dandruff flare-ups is to use dandruff shampoo and conditioner regularly to protect your scalp, even before you notice flakes appearing. Itch and dryness can be early signs of dandruff, so pay attention to these cues that your scalp needs extra attention. Keeping your scalp in good shape every time you wash should be a priority. But using anti-dandruff shampoo doesn’t need to be a chore – you can still have the great looking hair that you love. Head & Shoulders has the power of an anti-dandruff shampoo with the fresh fragrances and moisturizing properties of a beauty shampoo.
2. Look for a clinically-proven shampoo
Many shampoos claim to fight dandruff, but few are willing to prove how well they work with clinical testing. Head & Shoulders is highly effective at controlling dandruff flaking. Our unique formulas have been dermatologically tested and clinically proven at independent research facilities around the world. Some shampoos use ingredients which come from homeopathic remedies which aren’t proven to work on dandruff. A shampoo with a clinically proven active ingredientwill treat dandruff much more effectively.
