Every time you switch out your dandruff shampoo for a cosmetic shampoo, you’re washing away anti-dandruff actives. Find out how you can make sure your shampoo is working to its maximum effectiveness.
When you think about tackling dandruff, you probably think about the shower, but most of the anti-dandruff action from your shampoo takes place outside the shower.
That’s because after your anti-dandruff shampoo has washed away flakes, the microscopic anti-dandruff actives are left behind on your scalp surface, keeping your skin protected against dandruff triggers.
Beware of using a regular shampoo to “finish off” There’s a common myth that anti-dandruff shampoo is harsh on hair. As a result, some people use two shampoos: first one to treat the dandruff, and then they wash a second time with a regular cosmetic shampoo.
There’s a problem with that method: the regular shampoo will make the anti-dandruff shampoo less effective because it washes away most of the anti-dandruff actives and the protection they provide.
What’s more, Head & Shoulders is definitely not harsh on hair.
We pack every shampoo with the essentials of a cosmetic shampoo – including nourishing moisturizers and invigorating ingredients – so that they not only treat dandruff, but leave your hair feeling soft and silky too.
For an even more moisturizing wash, try our Smooth & Silky shampoo or our Damage Rescue range.
Make sure your conditioner is working for you too The same is true for conditioners. That’s why we developed anti-dandruff conditioners that work with our anti-dandruff shampoos to maintain the protection long after you step out of the shower.
