i use As I Am brand dandruff shampoo. the problem with dandruff shampoo is that it really strips the fuck out of your hair. so it’s fine for straight hair but if you have curly hair that needs product to maintain moisture and hair health you’re fucked. i haven’t really found anything else out there personally that didn’t also dry the fuck out of my hair and basically make it a frizzy, dry, unhealthy mess.
Anyone else got chronic dandruff who has good tips on managing it? Coal tar has been the only thing to work for me (not zinc sadly) but i also have thick hair that needs hella moisturization so I'm trying to balance hair that needs to be washed a lot with less product to collect (dandruff) and hair that needs to be left alone with extra product (curly hair) god help me
#thanks to the shampoo i can go close to a full week without having to wash#and i don’t completely strip my hair of all moisture and nutrients every time#i still get some dandruff occasionally but it is MUCH better and far less noticeable#washing your hair with water that uses a water softener helps too but a water softener is fucking expensive#otherwise i’d look around the black people hair product section OP#selsun blue and head and shoulders fucking ruined my hair. and made the dandruff worse because now my hair was even drier than it was#before i started#also i am black so#the suggestions in the notes didn’t work for me cause they’re geared towards white people#and tea tree oil never did shit cause my scalp and hair wouldn’t absorb it#so it basically slid right off#salicylic acid makes my skin burn so i think i may be allergic#most oils also cause skin reactions for me#good luck tho OP let us all know what works for you when you get it sorted!
