Anti-dandruff shampoo: how to choose and use it correctly

Dandruff can have many causes, so “anti-dandruff” on the pack does not guarantee a product will suit you. For everyday cosmetic care, gentle yet thorough scalp cleansing, consistency and the skin's response after washing matter.

What to consider before choosing

• Does the scalp become oily quickly, or does it feel dry and tight?

• Are the flakes fine and dry, or oilier and stuck to the skin?

• Is there itching, marked redness or soreness?

• How often do you wash your hair, and how many styling products do you use?

How to use anti-dandruff shampoo

Apply shampoo mainly to the scalp rather than the entire length. Massage gently with your fingertips, rinse thoroughly and repeat if recommended by the manufacturer. Follow with a conditioner or mask on the lengths according to hair condition.

When to consult a specialist

Consult a dermatologist if flaking is persistent or very severe, or there is intense itching, redness, crusting or hair loss. A cosmetic shampoo can be part of care but does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
