Overview
Selenium sulfide at clinical strength is the active in this Head & Shoulders shampoo, aimed at the yeast behind stubborn dandruff. A matching conditioner completes the routine for scalps that are both flaky and dry.
Treating dandruff and dryness together in one routine is the case for it when everyday anti-dandruff shampoos fall short. The listing gives no bottle sizes, and the full effect takes weeks of steady use.
Who it's for
Persistent flaking with itch and dryness suits the stronger active plus conditioner. People with only mild, occasional flakes may not need clinical strength.
Pros and cons
- Stronger active ingredient
- Conditioner included for dryness
- Suitable for every wash
- Targets the cause of dandruff
- Bottle sizes not stated
- Results build over weeks
- Scent not described
Performance notes
Selenium sulfide reduces the scalp yeast and inflammation that drive flaking, so consistent use matters more than any single wash. The conditioner adds moisture that the active ingredient alone does not supply.
