I had terrible dandruff for years – nothing worked until a $6 drugstore product, it’s been great for me for 10 years
AN itchy and flaky scalp brought nothing but frustration to one woman until she found a budget-friendly buy.
She said prescription-strength shampoos weren’t as effective as the drugstore haircare product for treating her dandruff.
The beauty enthusiast revealed how she transformed her hair and scalp in response to a post on Reddit.
“I had terrible dandruff for years,” she said, writing under the handle .
“I swapped between various medicated shampoos every couple of months because one would work for a while, then sort of wear off.
“I even tried prescription-strength ones. None worked for more than a few months.”

She confessed to not having high expectations when she tried Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner with Almond Oil.
“It did not leave my hair with the same feeling as other shampoos, nor what I expected a shampoo to do”,” she said.
“My hair and scalp were very moisturized, to the point that I was afraid it would look oily.
“I already have oily hair, so I expected it to be doubly so.
“After just a couple weeks of use, all my scalp itching stopped and all the dandruff went away.
“I’ve never had to switch and that was about 10 years ago.”
They recommend wetting the hair before massaging the product onto the scalp and rinsing it out.
The best dandruff control is achieved by using the shampoo twice a week.
Target customers have given it a whopping 4.4-star rating out of a possible 5 and penned honest reviews.
“Works like a charm! Hair smells great afterward and has a shiny, soft consistency,” one person said.
“I don’t need to use hair oils after using this product which is a major plus.”
Another shopper said the shampoo has become a staple in their haircare routine.
“When I say that my scalp was dry and hurting from the cold Wisconsin air,” they said.
