I need some suggestions on a good dandruff shampoo, my scalp is really dry and because of that i have alot of dandruff im just wondering what are some good anti-dandruff shampoos that are out there?
i just read this on wikipedia.....
*There is a common misconception that dandruff is caused by a dry scalp, or the drying effect of excessive shampooing. In fact, the opposite is true: people with oily scalps tend to suffer most from dandruff*
so really, if you consider this, then the problem could possibly be that you are not shampooing enough. Some people can get away with shampooing only once a week because their scalp does not produce a lot of oil, whereas others need to shampoo more often to keep the oil in check.
Although I haven't used them long (two weeks), I started using some products from 101 (goes by the name Fabao 101 in America). They are Chinese herbal based products, especially containing one of the commonly used herbs for healthy hair, Foti, aka polygonum multiflorum aka he-shou-wu. This includes shampoo, some stuff to rub on your scalp, tablets and a comb you using to massage the scalp. The products are mainly to help people who are losing their hair, but I'm using it for it's other purpose of restoring hair colour. So far I'm extremely happy with the condition of my hair. Too early to notice colour returning of course, but I digress...
Anyhow, the upshot of it is that I used to have dandruff pretty bad almost constantly but I have hardly seen a single flake for some time. So perhaps some of their stuff might help. I'm certainly very happy with it (No, I don't work for them!).

Fructis Anti-Dandruff worked well for me. At the moment I'm trying 'Neutrogena Clean Healthy Scalp Shampoo', or something like that. Not exactly a dandruff shampoo but it seems to be working so far.
