Getting rid of flakes is easy. In fact, it only takes two minutes to get rid of flakes, right at home 1, thanks to our super simple shower routine. Here's how...
0:00-00:30 Apply the anti-dandruff ingredient
As with all routines, you should start by lathering up the shampoo. Use Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo to lather up the most proven active ingredient: zinc pyrithione.
This is where your shampoo goes to work. As you lather it up, you'll deposit thousands of tiny micro-active zinc pyrithione particles onto the scalp, where they're most needed.
00:30-01:00 Goodbye flakes
It's time to rinse. Your shampoo will attract impurities and accumulated grease, as well as loosened flakes, and then remove them during rinsing.
But its anti-dandruff action doesn't stop there: thousands of tiny zinc pyrithione particles remain on your scalp to continue working, even after you get out of the shower.
01:00-01:30 Soft and nourished hair
Do you like using a separate conditioner? Make sure it's suitable for your use. Most ordinary conditioners remove all remaining zinc pyrithione from the scalp, so you would lose a large part of the anti-dandruff protection.
This won't be the case with an anti-dandruff conditioner.
It has been designed to work in tandem with anti-dandruff shampoo: it will nourish your hair without removing zinc pyrithione, in order to optimize your protection against dandruff.

01:30-2:00 Don't rub too hard with the towel!
If you use your towel directly after washing your hair, be careful. Vigorous towel drying will tangle hair, and can even break it.
Try patting your hair with a towel and wiping off any excess water.
Be gentle when using your hairdryer and forget about maximum heat: excessive heat can dry out hair and scalp, and even boil the water molecules in the hair.
This can cause permanent damage that we call "bubble hair", due to its appearance under the microscope. As these areas are also rather weak, hair can break easily.
