20 Best Shampoo For Dandruff And Dry Hair (2023 Updated)

I have suffered with severe breakouts and painful bumps on my scalp for about 2 years now. I moved from the desert to a humid climate, so now I have to dry my hair before bed, whereas before I could sleep with wet hair like I did my whole life.

Because of this, my scalp developed bumps and pustules, and due to that, I began an issue with dermatilomia which made the bumps worse. After a year of using everything from Head and Shoulders to Nizoral to prescription Ketocanozole, I still had bumps.

I was on my last resort and I realized I hadn’t tried the last treatment shampoo for these types of issues. The FIRST night that I tried this shampoo, even without drying my hair (to test the effectiveness) I woke up with the pustules that were there minimized greatly overnight! I then tested 2 more nights without drying my hair and it continued to get even better (which also encouraged less picking).

Then, last night I tried drying my hair and this morning I had NOTHING! I could cry! I can brush my hair without it hurting and feel like I finally can go out without being embarrassed of my hairline.

I am so happy! This product is extremely well priced, as the Nizoral is around $20 and less effective. I also am really happy with the scent! My hair has smelled like chemicals or a dirt-like smell since I’ve been trying everything, and now it smells so nice and fresh, somewhat lemony (which just so happens to be my favorite scent).

If you are suffering with any type of scalp issue (of course, talk to your doctor first to ensure that you are not suffering with something serious) but if they ok you using over the counter products, please try this shampoo! I just use a normal conditioner on the ends of my hair without touching my scalp, and my hair is left silky and smooth! Most treatment shampoos make my hair frizzy and dry.

This doesn’t! I am so happy! Please try this shampoo! Good job Selsun!.

I love Selsun for my sensitive scalp (for seborrheic dermatitis, not dandruff) and usually use the regular or medicated formulas with pyrithione zinc or selenium sulfide but I’m not the biggest fan of the pale blue or vibrant green (in the medicated) colors.

I bought this one without reading the active ingredient is salicylic acid. This formula is much more sudsy than the other formulas and my scalp fares OK on it (if my scalp is about 95% good on the other formulas, this one makes it about 80%), but I find it extremely drying on my body.

After showering, the skin on my back feels extremely tight and I’d have to moisturize there, whereas that’s not a concern with the other formulas (or most other shampoos, I’d say). However, maybe that’s exactly what you want if you’re suffering from bacne! My hair also seems the tiniest bit drier, but that could just be the current arid weather.

This formula might be ok for other folk, depending on your need, but I’m going back to one of the other active ingredients.

LOVE First, well, yea, my scalp can get kind of dry and if I ignored it, someone might say I had dandruff 😉 This is the only shampoo I’ve found that actually works AND doesn’t smell like the Heisenberg high school rolling chemistry lab! But, there’s a “holy grail” product bonus, I also use it on my face.

Don’t lather, just leave it as gel to sit for 3-5 minutes, my skin is as exfoliated and glowing as it would be if I hadn’t skipped a day or two of my full beauty routine. Please be careful though, my skin may be less sensitive than yours so please take my recommendation as a “this works really well for me, you should consider and decide for yourself if it’s right for you try” instead of “everyone is doing it and I promise nothing bad will ever happen if you do it too”.

Hello to whom this email may concern I just recently purchased multiple items from your respective company recently and one of those products notably was the just recently released Detox shampoo. I’m so exceedingly impressed with it that it begged the question as to if American Crew was entertaining the idea of possibly creating a line of bar soaps with that same lather intensive formula and scent profile as the Detox shampoo.

Possibly creating 3 distinct bars of soap being 1: Exfoliating 2: Clarifying 3: Moisturizing. Since I’m a professed bar soap guy as opposed to body wash I believe that I as well as many others would definitely be keen on anxiously purchasing high quality bar soaps from American Crew.

As far as shampoo and hair products are concerned I was wondering if you would be potentially debuting a line of hair growth products regimen in the same vein as Nioxin for those suffering from hair loss maybe using the new natural line American Crew just introduced with the Detox shampoo segment maybe even creating an all encompassing shampoo, conditioner, and serum spray or serum topical gel.

Lastly I was curious to see if American Crew was thinking about bringing to the masses a large economy size body lotion with the same scent as the Detox shampoo and maybe even a men’s antiperspirant/deodorant with the same citrus mint scent.

Again this is simply an inquiry about a possible future development with these stated products in mind because I’m sure that I’m not the only one out there who would be thrilled at the prospect of purchasing these potential items from American Crew.

Again I’m a faithful customer of your exceptional brand for life and would love the idea of an expanded product line to select from. Thank you kindly for your time and consideration and I look forward to any response or announcement in the future.

With that in mind please do take care and stay safe.

I’ve (25F) been struggling with severe dandruff for years. I’ve tried a plethora of hair care products to try and fix it myself, all to no avail. I was too embarrassed to seek professional help until recently, when I looked at a photo of myself from a few years ago and realized how much hair I have lost since then.

I went to my dermatologist and got on a steroid and ketoconazole shampoo for a few weeks. The prescription products worked, but only while I was using them. Once my doses ran out, I was back to my itchy, flakey self.

I found Jupiter and decided to give it a try. I was worried that the products would leave my curly hair dry and brittle, and wouldn’t completely treat my scalp, but I was so wrong. This stuff WORKS. I use the entire system of products, including the scalp brush.

The shampoo is gentle enough to be used every day if needed, and the conditioner is hydrating yet also very lightweight. I love the way my hair feels after I use these products. The branding on the bottles is so professional too, I love the way it looks.

Everything smells like salon products, it feels so luxurious!.

I received this shampoo complimentary of influenster. This shampoo has a thick consistency and gives a luxurious lather. I love the way this smells, so fresh and spa like. When I received this product, I was actually dealing with a very dry and flaky scalp, very annoying.

Since I’ve used this product along with the conditioner, I’ve noticed my scalp has been much more moisturized. It’s definitely helped with the dry scalp in that sense, but it hasn’t quite taken away the dandruff.

I can part my hair a day before wash day and I can see a bit of dandruff. I will say it’s definitely not flaky anymore though and it’s not as noticeable. I just expected it to remove more of the dandruff over time since salicylic acid is highlighted as one of the ingredients, but insteadnoticeable.

moisturized my scalp enough so my dandruff isn’t as noticable. Would I buy this after I finish the bottle? Honestly, it’s just okay for me. If this and conditioner completely resolved my dandruff issue, then yeah I’d purchase this whenever I experienced dandruff problems because I don’t deal with dandruff all the time, just once in a while and mainly during dry weather.

If I had to guess, I’d say the conditioner is the main product is that making a difference. So this was just okay for me.

Last night I tried the Oribe Serene Anti-dandruff shampoo and Balancing conditioner. I recived these products complimentary in exchange for my honest review. Most of my life I have had a dandruff problem so I have mainly only used Head and Shoulders as my shampoo.

It seems that other shampoo brands don’t make a dandruff category. I was surprised to find out this nice non-drug store brand came out with one so I was very happy to be able to review it. The shampoo and conditioner had a light floral fragrance which was very nice because most dandruff shampoo I have tried in the past do not have a nice smell.

Most have a gender neutral smell. The lather was nice and it all washed my hair very cleanly and the conditioner softened my hair up. I guess for me when it comes to shampoos and conditioners it is not about how it smells, feels, or anything else.

At the end of the day if it keeps my dandruff away it is a good shampoo to me and this product did what it advertised and smelled good while doing it so that is a bonus for me. I would recommend this shampoos if you have dandruff issue!! Only thing I would say bad about it is that the shampoo packaging is too stiff.

The plastic was hard to squeeze to get the product out easily.

I wanted to hate this. It’s so expensive, and usually I would take a star off for the price but this shampoo has changed my life. For the first time I’ve started taking bird baths (washing body and not hair)!! My hair is thick, but fine in texture.

My scalp is oily and flaky/scabby at the same time. I’ve self diagnosed myself with seborrheic dermatitis as I have every symptom. The only shampoo that works for my scalp is extra strength coal tar t-gel.

This makes my hair smelly (my boyfriend hates it more than I do), dry and tangled. Even with the t gel, I would get greasy the next day. Ive recently became obsessed with skincare. I’ve educated myself on so many ingredients and decided to do the same for shampoo.

My hunt began for a shampoo with AHAs and BHAs. My hunt led me to this. I purchased the small bottle. It smells nice (doesn’t linger and isn’t strong), it is concentrated (helps to swallow the price factor as you don’t need lots to get a good lather) and most importantly, my hair and scalp are loving this.

My hair is shinier, softer and more manageable with less tangles, and most importantly, my hair can go until day 4 without showing grease. I didn’t think this was possible. It stays looking so clean for so long.

My scalp isn’t as itchy or flakey but that will take a while to completely rid that issue. I bought the liter on Oribe’s cyber monday deal (Canadian), so I got 20% off. Even with the deal it is expensive.

Sephora excludes oribe from most sales btw. But it’s so worth the results for me as I have tried more shampoos than I would ever care to admit and with washing my hair every 4 days instead of everyday, I can justify it.

Quality hair care should be accessible for everyone although I know my voice isn’t going to cause a price drop so I figured I’d focus this review on why I plan to continue to buy this shampoo.

This is the only product that works for my scalp issues. I feel like it doesn’t dry anything out and doesn’t ruin my hair either. I’ve tried SOOOO many dandruff products and this is the best one out of them all! I’ve had dandruff all my life and this is my holy grail.

I’ve even had to go as far as putting a prescribed topical ointment for my dandruff and even that didn’t help me. It’s honestly crazy how some things can have the same ingredients as another but one work better.

Maybe theirs just has a better concentration of the specific active ingredient or something idk but this is a yes.

I had such high hopes for this brand. I suffered from seborrheic dermatitis ever since I was little. So not only did I have the dandruff and the dry, itchy scalp, I also have chunks of dead skin coming off my head.

It sounds gross and it was, so I was REALLY hoping this would get rid of it all. It did help with the itchiness and the dandruff, but not the seborrheic dermatitis. I still had the chucks and I still had some dandruff.

But it did improve my situation, just very slightly. Sadly, it did not work for me and I will not be purchasing it again.

I’ve had to use this for most of my life due to hereditary dry scalp, and sensitive scalp. I’ve used many other medicated shampoos, but nothing has worked as well as this one. The scent is very strong, but works great to keep my scalp healthy and it doesn’t irritate it.

Fortunately, I’m able to use any conditioner of my choice, for the most part. This helps to cover the medicated scent. I recommend using this if you have tried other medicated shampoos, but are still looking.

For relief. [brand:selsun-blue].

I want to share my experience with Dercos. I’ve been suffering from dandruff since being a teenager, and Vichy Dercos anti-dandruff shampoo for normal or oily hair was always by my side. I’m a female and always had beautiful long hair, so visible dandruff is not something you want people to see! I use it now twice a week, in order to keep my dandruff in control, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with similar issues.

It definitely calmed my sensitive, itchy dry scalp. I use it in combination with Dercos Nutrients Vitamin A. C. E conditioner, as it provides all heathy nutrients for maintaining the healthiness of both my scalp and hair.

Those 2 products are absolute game changers! I would also recommend Dercos Energizing shampoo and conditioner, as well as 2 minute hair mask. All of them are better than other brands I tried over my lifetime.

Thank you Vichy for transforming my life, as I can freely wear black, speak with people face to face etc. without worrying that someone will see my dandruff! That’s so liberating!.

Since elvive discontinued their anti dandruff line I used religiously I needed something to replace it with ASAP. Fast forward to trying multiple different products (you name it I probably tried it) but having no luck I resorted to scouring forums to see if any other people were in the same boat.

Turns out many people were in need of a replacement for that elvive holy grail and discovering similar ingredients ie the selenium contents. And a similar colour/smell and consistency to its L’Oréal counterpart.

Vichy’s Dercos ant-dandruff line was recommended. This product has helped massively. Although not being completely faultless. It has enabled me to live a relatively flake free life. And for that I am eternally greatfull!.

When I was pregnant, my scalp became SO OILY! Even after just being washed I could smell the oil when I was laying down and it would make me feel even more nauseated! I tried so many different shampoos, nothing worked.

Then I came across this, only because someone had the same issue I was having and posted a review somewhere about this product. I immediately searched for it online and placed an order. It WORKED. No more oily scalp, no more oily smell, fresh hair.

1. 5 years postpartum I still use this shampoo because when I stopped (after pregnancy) the problem returned. This is a must for me. Expensive for a small bottle but I need it.

So I don’t have dandruff. I have to share how else this product is good! I developed chin acne from wearing a mask this year. They were these little bumps and they were so excessive. I tried usual a acne treatments, changing my diet, yadda yadda.

My sister had the same thing going on with her. She went to a esthetician and they told her its fungal acne! They told her to purchase this and use it as a face mask. wet your face, apply a small lather, leave on for 3 minutes tops, and rinse.

Use this treatment 2 a week until your acne is gone. Her acne was gone in about 2 weeks. So I gave it a try, I was desperate! I did it 4 days in a row, an I let it sit for longer than 3 minutes. Chapped my skin.

I spent days trying to treat it and neutralize it. I then tried this again, but followed direction. The acne went away completely. My chin is finally cleared. So my suggestion is, follow the directions haha.

but seriously, Selsun Blue Moisturizing shampoo works for fungal acne. If you are desperate I would give it a try. Those hair follicles on your face need healing sometimes, and this helps. Shaving it off won’t do justice either, FYI.

I am so impressed with this product! I was suffering from really bad dry scalp. I would wash my hair with Head and Shoulders but wouldn’t get any relief. I’d still have flakes after washing my hair. This has been a game changer for me.

I’m not sure why I had such a bad dandruff problem but it was debilitating. I didn’t want to do my hair, didn’t want to go anywhere – afraid that my dandruff would show. It was large flakes too, very noticeable.

My first wash with Selsun Blue completely remedied the situation. I haven’t had dandruff since using this product. I highly recommend this brand to anyone who is suffering from extreme dandruff.

This is a very effective shampoo. I used to have trouble with my scalp flaking after using normal shampoo, but I haven’t had any dandruff at all after 3 washes. The scent is pleasant, and lingers in my hair long after most conventional shampoo scents fade; I’ve had a couple of compliments from family and friends as well.

The menthol scent also helps calm me down; after a hot day, lathering up the shampoo makes my whole head feel cooler, and helps ease tension headaches. The shampoo foams up quickly and clears grease from the hair effectively, and is easily rinsed without leaving residue behind (either in the hair or on the shower floor and tiles).

I have already recommended it to my family as an excellent summertime shampoo (the cool menthol feels great this Australian Christmas season!) and as a must-have cleanser. I’m curious if there is a conditioner to match it, and would certainly purchase it to make a proper set.

As someone who has an itchy, flaky, sensitive and oily scalp and thick black hair, I can assure you finding a shampoo that can tackle all of the above a difficult task. With that being said, my experience with Head & Shoulders’ new Dry Scalp Care formulation has definitely done the trick.

I’ve seen a definite reduction on flakes and my scalp hasn’t had an itch that needed to be scratched. Mind you, I used to love H&S back in the day, but either the formulation changed or my sensitivity levels changed, I couldn’t use H&S anymore, until now.

I am glad to say that I’m converted over to their new Dry Scalp formulation. While it still has SLS, it’s not over drying and it doesn’t strip the hair of its natural oils. With that being said, my hair still feels soft and clean after every rinse.

My scalp doesn’t feel irritated nor does it tingle when it comes into contact with broken skin from unconsciously scratching a little too much and a little too hard. Accompanied with the Conditioner, my hair feels soft, nourished after every wash and my scalp is better off.

Though my scalp is loving it now, who knows how it’ll react later down the track and with winter around the corner, my scalp’s condition could be worse. regardless, I’m grateful to have been a part of the REVIEWCREW and get the opportunity to try Head & Shoulders’ new Dry Scalp Care range, because I definitely wouldn’t have taken the plunge if I saw it at the shops.

Please note that everyone’s scalp condition is completely different and how it’ll react will depend on your environment, how you maintain your hair, how you style/treat your hair, and whether it’s coloured or not.

While I say this word of insight, the formulation is definitely much more gentle on my scalp and hair than any other formulation I’ve used, and I’ve used A LOT.

I was so excited to try the new head and shoulders smooth and silky shampoo as I had previously used it before, now it is labeled with up to 100% dandruff reduction and was very happy there was also another label with stating that 0% Phosphates, Parabens and Parrafins were added I could only anticipate the results would be fantastic but was also intrigued to see if the forumla delivered the same results without the nasties.

The packinging looks beautiful with a big pretty pink flower on the front. When I open the lid and sniffed the product and it smells beautiful I just used the size of a 50 Cent piece amount into my palm as I have very thick hair I need a fair amount it foamed up very well which I like.

Are use the shampoo twice as I always do two washes and it worked very well then I followed through with the new conditioner that goes with the shampoo. I love how there is a how to use description on the back of the label also that it says to use 3 days a week there’s never been a recommendation on how many days to use the product before I really like that tip.

My scalp has has been very dry, itchy and flaky for quite sometime due to climate, stress and other factors sometimes it’s very minimal other times when I brush my hair or even so much as adjust my scrunchy I have to obsessively check over my tee’s that it is clear.

After use my hair felt nice and clean, itch and visible flake free and was also really soft and manageable. It was a great piece of mind having flake free hair and not having to always check my clothes that all was clear.

I would highly recommend this shampoo for dandruff free, soft and manageable hair.

Used to use the original clinical strength shampoo and it worked amazingly well, definitely the best shampoo I’ve ever used for my skin condition. For some strange reason you decided to discontinue that shampoo and replace it with three new versions, like this one.

None of them work, in fact they’ve probably made my Seborrheic Dermatitis worse. First I tried the Manuka Honey version, that didn’t work so I tried the Advanced Oil Control, again didn’t work. The whole thing seems kind of shady to me, why would you discontinue a fantastic product for three products that don’t really work.

Maybe you think that if we keep suffering with our conditions we will keep buying your products? In reality I’m going to stop buying your shampoos because they don’t offer any relief. If you’d have just kept the original formula we would all have kept buying it because it works really well.

Perhaps, you thought the new versions would be better but I doubt it, considering you haven’t brought the original back after all these requests and complaints. Seems intentional.

I have dealt with seborrheic dermatitis since I was born, it originated as cradle cap when I was a baby. Over the years I have dealt with an itchy, burning, bleeding scalp that I used to be ashamed of.

This product has saved my life and been my go to for over 10 years. I was recommended this by a dermatologist, and this by far is the most amazing product. I absolutely swear by it. It is the only product that I know that I can count on to refresh and genuinely help my condition.

I have tried countless other shampoos and they always flare up my scalp. When I use Clinical Strength I feel like I can finally receive relief. I recently tried the Clinical Strength Scalp Calming Treatment made with Aloe Vera while having a serious itch and bleed scalp attack, and it worked AMAZING FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF! These products are the only ones I trust and truly love and have become apart of my journey to finally embracing my condition and treating it correctly.

1000000000/10.

This shampoo is the only shampoo that works against my seboherric dermatitis. I have tried so many products but everything fell short. This shampoo is starts working immediately after the first wash.

The shampoo reduced my scalp itching and redness to zero. Finally, I got my sanity back. My dandruff was completely gone after the third wash. It gives a cooling sensation when applied – feels heavenly on itchy scalp.

However, the only con is – it makes my hair very dry and frizzy. I also noticed an increase in hair fall after using this shampoo probably because of a dry scalp. So, I use it sparingly, only when I have a dandruff outbreak.

I also make sure to use a good deep conditioner to make my hair softer. Smells like any other dandruff shampoo maybe a bit stronger. I’ll continue to use it because it really works for my seboherric dermatitis and recommend to anyone who has severe dandruff.

I received this product complimentary from Influenster to test out. A little background on my scalp- I don’t have dandruff, but I do currently have a very itchy scalp. After recovering from Covid (Delta Variant), I had horrible long term hair loss from it.

It has been nearly 3 months of massive hair loss, and I am finally seeing new growth. Thus, constant itchy scalp. So when I received this product to try, I was hopeful that this could help the itchiness subside.

I’ve used it 2 times this week, and found that I do have less itchiness on my scalp. This product has mint and menthol, which you can smell, but it smells fresh. Thus, it gives a cooling sensation on your scalp when you wash and condition.

I have extremely sensitive skin, so I did find that the cooling also affected my shoulders and back quite a bit. No issues from it, but just caught me off guard. I would use this product again as needed.

Perhaps not weekly, as I know dandruff shampoos and conditioners can sometimes dry out naturally curly hair. But I would definitely say it did what I had hoped it would.

Head and Shoulders has always been a stable in my household even as a child. My brother had dandruff so the whole household was using it. Since then, I’ve used it on various occassions due to it being on sale/having some occassional dandruff periods.

I’ve always enjoyed that I was pretty consistent and had a good formula. With the Apple Fresh however, it seems that the one I tested was a little bit more runny than the previous batches that I have bought.

On top of that, the green has become more of an off pastel green than the typical granny smith green that I remember it to have (i could be remembering it wrong). Aside from this, it’s still the same heads and shoulders which I think is a good thing.

It’s rare to have a consistent product these days without companies trying to drastically cut corners, save on costs and upending something that was good.

I have tried many all in one shampoo & conditioners, some good, some not so good. T-Gel is really very good in my opinion. I do suffer from dandruff occasionally, sometimes quite bad. So it was well timed with this shampoo as I had bout of dandruff as I received the sample to test.

Even after the first wash I could see that my hair was much clearer. And silky soft. My dandruff was completely gone after the third wash. I haven’t tried a Gel shampoo before, but actually quite like it.

It has a really nice light fresh scent which was just about right. My hair seems to be in much better condition after using T-Gel instead of my usual shampoo. This is now my preferred shampoo.

First impressions: unnecessary packaging! Product came ina plastic bottle which seems sensible, however this bottle was also packed into a box, which seems unnecessary in the 5i. es of reducing packaging.

Not sue anyone would ever keep the bottle I a cardboard box in a wet bathroom! The scent of the product was clearly marked on the box, but I couldn’t see this information anywhere on the bottle itself which seems a bit odd.

Upon using the product, the fragrance was nice and refreshing, and the product produced a good lather, however my hair did not feel conditioned at all, which was disappointing for a 2 in 1 product. I did have to use additional conditioner to have any hope of getting a brush through my hair! Overall ok, but doesn’t do what it claims to.

The product comes in a cardboard package with the bottle itself inside. It gives an expensive feel to the item and the bottle itself has clear simple writing on, making it feel premium as well as making it clear the shampoo is no frills but does the job it should.

The liquid itself is thick so you will need a fair amount to get a good coverage but it massages in easily and washes away with no trouble. There is no odour which is a positive compared to other scalp itching products that can possess an unpleasant smell.

Perhaps something positive could have been added as a scent but I understand the ingredients are carefully chosen to serve the purpose. After using I had no itchiness at all and used every day to keep it that way.
