I have been using head and shoulders for the past 10 years. Occasionally I have switched to other products like sunsilk, Panteen, Flex.But I have always found H&S to be more effective . The shampoo claims to get rid of dandraffs . Acc to me it is true. Some have complaint of hair fall. I dont know whether it is true because I have always had the problem of hair fall even when I have used other products. Head and Shoulders has a good fragrance and it remains on the hair for two to three days. It also gives bounce to the hair. Like other shampoos it does not make the hair too dry after using it . It gives a shine to the hair.Though I have not used many of the other products , I cannot say if there is another one similar to this .But I would always recommend anyone , especially with a problem with dandruffs to use it.
