I used Head and Shoulders years ago when my dandruff was bad, back then it was the only kind that was available in our small town. Needless to say instead of getting better, my dandruff got worse. I used to wash my hair everyday and using that all the time just made it so bad that I had to quit using it. With dry hair and dry, highly sensitive skin, I have to be carful what I use. I wash my hair now only about twice a week or if needed and use a shampoo that is gentle to my hair and scalp. It’s working as the dandruff has been gone for years now since I watched what I did. If I do get the occasional bout of dandruff, I found in my case that Nizerol works, it’s only used twice a week. So no more Head and Shoulders for this gal.
