8 Best Dandruff Shampoos

I am fortunate in that I don't have dandruff. I do truly enjoy the tingling sensation of a shampoo and/or conditioner with Tea Tree Oil, however. It's delightful!

I've always found Vosene's anti dandruff shampoo to be great. Certainly worth trying for anyone looking for a new shampoo.

The body shop ginger anti-dandruff shampoo!! The best one i've ever tried!

I've used a lot of garnier and herbal essences shampoos and conditioners, they smell great but they do leave a lot of residue on the hair. i went to a hairdresser and the first thing she asks is what shampoo i was using because there was ALOT of buildup, smell great but leave your hair less than clean. They work for dandruff though. I am excited to try the paul mitchell tea tree, i love anything with tee tree oil and will take this list into consideration for my next shampoo

I have tried Head & Shoulders, Paul Mitchel, and T Gel and none have worked for my dry scalp. I will have to give Jason's Tea Tree Oil a try.

Garnier's shampoo is sub-par, at best. Jason's is THE BEST out of everything on the market, whether your scalp is dry, has a lot of build-up of product, or is oily, this shampoo is a dream come true. You can feel safe using it because it's all natural. If you're not a fan of the smell of tea tree oil, use this any way because the smell doesn't linger. I find that if I use this every single time I shampoo for a few weeks, my dry scalp goes away fast. I also find that the scalp sheds itself naturally, which we sometimes THINK is dandruff or something else because it's gross, itchy, and drives us insane, but is actually part of changes in temperature from season to season, etc. Cutting back on product use helps tremendously as you navigate through this process. My hair gets washed, conditioned, and the only thing I put in it is Josie Maran's Argan Oil. My hair has never been healthier or looked better as an adult. Also, this shampoo isn't always easy to find locally, so if you cannot find it, check out Ebay, Amazon, or Folica. It's generally about $10-$12 a bottle.

Got the Shielo Hydrate Shampoo for my husband because Pureology no longer makes their dandruff shampoo. He has used it 2 times now and loves Shielo! Said he thinks it's even better than Pureology! His hair is soft and he has noticed already changes in his scalp and less dryness. Go figure! Yes, it's expensive but if you factor all the money you waste on every other type you purchase hoping it's 'the one', save yourself the time and try this!

I didn't realize Herbal Essences has an anti-dandruff shampoo... totally going to want to try that!

I had no idea all these products for dandriff... good to know I get dry scalp in the winter drives me crazy!

I've always heard that products with tea tree oil help control dandruff. These are some great options!

I have partly dry scalp and it drives me nuts. Thanks for the information on all the products. I never really knew how many there were out there in the market. I'll have to try Jason tea tree oil shampoo...hopefully that will work!

My husband has terrible dry and itchy scalp. I've tried the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special and wasn't all that impressed. Will try the H&S Intensive Care and see where it takes us...

i get dandruff because i scratch my scalp because im under sooo much pressure. I know its bad and gross but I dont even notice i do it

by anna_davis Monday, November 28, 2011 at 03:17PM Report as inappropriate

Pleasantly surprised by some of the choices. Never contemplated Herbal Essences. I have severe dandruff with frizzy hair and is so embarrassing at times. I have actually used actual tea tree extract and massaged into my scalp. It works wonders.

During the winter I tend to get some flaking. I really want to try the Aveda.

I have had a problem with dandruff. My hair is very sensetive. For this article i have to say that Garnier was just horriblefor me. It actually caused more build up. Tea tree oil works very well, its good for many uses and ill put it in with the shampoo while showering. Though,for my hair i use alternating shampoos so my hair doesnt get used to it,and cause build up. For people with curly/wavy hair use 1 of these 3 1)TGel from nutrogena(this has coal tar,which means it is the source in most dandruff shampoos and is the thing that gets rid of the dandruff/buildup. This i think is delouted so its not so harsh to the hair. 2) Walgreens Therapuetic +Plus Gel(this is definetley stronger and harsher on the hair,but with use it WILL go away 3)Suave Daily Claryfying(It takes constant use,its more for to make it less worse-it could be used everyday,its not a moisturizer striper. For the conditioner in the shower I use Organix moroccan argan conditioner) For regular shampoo you can use one of the 3-i use 1)Jennifer Lopez Loreal sunflower anti frizz eversleek shampoo(its a little pricey,but overall- great results)2)Sunsilk(U can buy this online-its quite hard to find in stores but it works reeaaaallly goood! [:) 3)Suave professionals curl/wave definer. Also after the shower i use 2 oils, they are Optimim oil(it has coconut,olive,avocodo,and jojoba oil in it-u can use just this 1 by itself and ur fine,and Argan oil for shine and health. I hope this information was useful. You can find most of these products at Walmart. [;

I've tried head and shoulders but I do not like the smell.

Thank you! I love the 'best-of' articles, and I have tried everything for pesky dandruff! I'll be trying something from this list for sure

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo is great stuff, even if you don't have dandruff.

head and shoulders!

by yckitsmary Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 01:37PM Report as inappropriate

i have issues with almost all of them.. i am highly alergic to sulfates.. ie sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate.. both very common in shampoos... and it makes my scalp worse

I had really bad dandruff and hair loss. My dermatologist told me to try Regenepure with Ketoconazole. My dandruff stopped in a couple weeks and I swear my hair is thicker and definitely fuller.

I have dandruff/psoriasis in a few patches on my scalp. I'm really looking forward to trying the Paul Mitchell and Jason tea tree oil shampoos based on other reviewers' results.

Head and shoulders commercials are funny

Very informational. I have problems with dandruff since I live in a humid climate. I have tried the Fructis one and for me, it didnt work AT ALL! The Neutrogena T Gel works but the smell is not so pleasant.

i have used the paul mitchell tea tree shampoo numerous times, but i never knew it could cure dandruff too. it makes sense since it is so soothing and cleansing and refreshing!

by kenya Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 10:41PM Report as inappropriate

I only wash my hair 2 times per week, I figured the less the better? I am still struggling with a dry and flaky scalp! I have tried several of the products mentioned in this article, with the exception of the Aveda. Maybe this will be the one that halts my dandruff.

Zincplex is the best dandruff shampoo. It is the only one that seemed to make my itching and flaking totally go away.
