The best way to get rid of dandruff is to use an anti-dandruff shampoo that’s been proven to work against flakes, itching, redness and a dry scalp.
To do that, you need one with the right active ingredient, like zinc pyrithione which you’ll find in all of Head & Shoulders’ anti-dandruff shampoos.
It works to tackle the root cause – the microbe Malassezia globosa which is present on everyone’s scalp.
By tackling the source of the issue, it breaks the cycle of dandruff irritation rather than just treating the symptoms like other shampoos.
But we’ve gone further than that. We also include a second zinc compound, zinc carbonate. It helps fight flakes better by moisturizing the scalp, while protecting and stabilizing zinc pyrithione for peak effectiveness.
Top tips for getting rid of dandruff with shampoo
Once you’ve chosen the right anti-dandruff shampoo, you need to make sure you use it properly.
Here’s a few tips to make sure your shampoo regime works as well as possible:
- Use it every time you wash your hair – use your anti-dandruff shampoo regularly to keep dandruff in check and keep flakes at bay.
- Choose the right conditioner – many ordinary cosmetic conditioners can wash out the active ingredient in your anti-dandruff shampoo. So choose Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff conditioner – it’s been designed to work hand-in-hand with our shampoos so the zinc pyrithione keeps working to help get rid of dandruff.
- Use styling products that are kind to your scalp – Head & Shoulders’ men’s styling collection’s designed to be kind to your skin and scalp, without compromising results. If you have a sensitive scalp, avoid scalp worries and irritation with this gentle and effective solution.
