dry scalp; shampoo?! Options

[bbyunique]

i have dry scalp and i want any recommendations on shampoos you have personally used or a friend has used. i also want them to be non-oily please. i use to wash my hair every day but i have been washing it every other day for about a year now. the dry scalp started about 1 1/2 years ago. help, dry scalp is so annoying!

[yskulmate]

try using a shampoo with conditioner, my friend also had the same problem with you..

I had a lot of dandruff last year, does that count as dry scalp? I don't know, but I started using Pantene Pro-V (any kind will do) every day. Pantene's expensive, but it does wonders for my hair. Now I use Ganier Fructis long and strong because it's less expensive, and works almost as well as Pantene. With Garnier my hair stays practically knot-free, which is really handy. Everyone's hair is different, so just try around shampoos untli you find one that works for you. I would recommend Pantene first. And NEVER EVER EVER buy shampoo below $2. Those never ever ever work. Or, at least, for me they don't. So anyways, hope I could help!

i haven't used conditioner for like 4 mths now BUT even when i did i had dry scalp which is also dandruff lol. i use to use pantene but then i stopped and swtiched over to err herbal essence. i forgot the name a sec there. lol. i have garnier fructis and it doesn't help the dandruff/dry scalp. does pantene make your hair oily or make asian hair oily? lol the point of this post was so that i could find a shampoo worthy of buying. prices have gone up and my job doesn't exactly pay me enough to try every shampoo out there.

I used to have black hair and terrible dandruff, but i used Neutrogena(sp?) T-Gel, and all of the dandruff was gone after one wash! I use it regularly, so it never came back! The doctor had prescribed it for me, so I think it'll work for everyone.

[yupimchuck]

that fructis stuff for dry scalp works well for me.

[technicolour]

Yup the T-Gel. Gotta love that cruddd.

head and shoulders.. they have it for dry, normal, and oily hair but it really works well for dandruff/dry scalp. my dad uses it and every now and then my scalp gets dried out and i use it.. works really well because it has zinc somethin or other in it... idk lol.

head and shoulders made my hair amillion times worse

i use Johnsons baby shampoo with Pantene Pro-V conditioner, and it keeps awayu the dandruff/dry scalp problems.

[nerdxcore]

tea tree oil. (it should be in the organic section). aside from the title, it doesnt actually make your hair oily. lol.

head & shoulders!!! hehe...

head shoulders kneees & toes...

[beambitious]

I use the Head and Shoulders for a dry scalp it smells good

Maybe its just extra shampoo/conditioner that you're not washing out. I had that problem when I was a little younger.

And NEVER EVER EVER buy shampoo below $2. Those never ever ever work. Or, at least, for me they don't. So anyways, hope I could help!

what shampoo cost less than 2 dollars? i've never seen shampoo cost less than 6 bucks.

head and shoulders made my hair amillion times worse

it worked with my boyfriend's scalp...he used to have soo many flakes

[kill me please]

head and shoulders. seriously it works

[Looow]

head and shoulders works great.

[mai_z]

head and shoulders is awesome, especially since it may not really be a dry scalp but some sort of fungal type thing (sounds scary, but it really isn't) like dandruff.... if head and shoulders doesn't reduce it in a couple weeks try rubbing olive oil into your hair and scalp, it does great for moisturizing, but use it sparingly

[Paradox of Life]

You know using shampoo and showering often is what causes dry scalp? Shower every other day or use a moisturizing shampoo + conditioner.

[yskulmate]

another tip.. dont use hot water,,, just warm water.. or cold water is the best for your hair.. its one cause.. and for the shampoo, try ones with aloe vera contents.

[lilJdawg]

Look for shampoos that says, "prevents dry scalp" or something similar.

[Biblesterr743]

i say just use conditioner! like pantene pro-v i lovessss that stufff.


i mean shampoo and then conditioner..

that should help u out.

[caitieb9]

I get that dandruff crap alot. Iall I do to get rid of it is use head and shoulder and dont put he hair dryer close to your head if you do blowdry it. make sure your bruse isnt to "sharp" also this could lead to the dandruff showing up more.

Realli?!?!?!

Heads and Shoulders worked for me~ Its a good shampoo, I duno why it'd make it that worse......

Or else a shampoo/conditioner from THE BODY SHOP, I used to use it too~ It smells nice and it works~

Pretti much any shampoo/conditioner that has sumthin along the lines of "removes dandruff" will do.

[ldy_kari]

tea tree, Bed Hed Products, Pantene, Garnier Fructis, Dove, head and Shoulders,Selson Blue, John Frieda, or just go to the salon. Period.

AVOID THESE AT ALL TIMES!!!!:
$1.05 Suave shampoos & conditioners
$1.75 Vo5 shampoos & conditioners
i used it and made my hair super dry
only use Vo5 if you went to the public pool or something like that..
trust me i used to have flakes too
i used Selson blue and head and shoulders and pantene
(hint* dont switch shampoos and conditioners often, for it makes your hair really dry and thin )

LIISTEN TO THIS ADVICE!!!

Condition your hair everyday. But shamppo every other day.
