Its quite confusing that this has been named as Anti-dandruff shampoo whereas I recommend this for those guys who either worked in open atmosphere or to those, who are suffering that there hair goes dry after using any brand shampoo. I would rather say that having anti dandruff quality is as extra parametre along with I said above. I only use head and shoulders not because I have dandruff but because my hair goes dry, dull n even broken after I did shampoo of other brands. It might depend on person to person but if someone fall under this category, go for it and see the results. In addition, my job nature if of outside type.
