"With this brutal winter, my head has been itchy like a case of the chicken pox," says one reader. "I picked up Selsun Blue to give it a try and I had immediate relief!"
Users say the product's heavy "medicated smell" is worth getting used to because the product drastically reduces flaking. "My hair is extremely high maintenance, but I use Selsun Blue and I have no dandruff problems," writes one reader. "This will clean your hair like nothing else."

I am fortunate in that I don't have dandruff. I do truly enjoy the tingling sensation of a shampoo and/or conditioner with Tea Tree Oil, however. It's delightful!

I've always found Vosene's anti dandruff shampoo to be great. Certainly worth trying for anyone looking for a new shampoo.

I've used a lot of garnier and herbal essences shampoos and conditioners, they smell great but they do leave a lot of residue on the hair. i went to a hairdresser and the first thing she asks is what shampoo i was using because there was ALOT of buildup, smell great but leave your hair less than clean. They work for dandruff though. I am excited to try the paul mitchell tea tree, i love anything with tee tree oil and will take this list into consideration for my next shampoo

I have tried Head & Shoulders, Paul Mitchel, and T Gel and none have worked for my dry scalp. I will have to give Jason's Tea Tree Oil a try.

Garnier's shampoo is sub-par, at best. Jason's is THE BEST out of everything on the market, whether your scalp is dry, has a lot of build-up of product, or is oily, this shampoo is a dream come true. You can feel safe using it because it's all natural. If you're not a fan of the smell of tea tree oil, use this any way because the smell doesn't linger. I find that if I use this every single time I shampoo for a few weeks, my dry scalp goes away fast. I also find that the scalp sheds itself naturally, which we sometimes THINK is dandruff or something else because it's gross, itchy, and drives us insane, but is actually part of changes in temperature from season to season, etc. Cutting back on product use helps tremendously as you navigate through this process. My hair gets washed, conditioned, and the only thing I put in it is Josie Maran's Argan Oil. My hair has never been healthier or looked better as an adult. Also, this shampoo isn't always easy to find locally, so if you cannot find it, check out Ebay, Amazon, or Folica. It's generally about $10-$12 a bottle.

Got the Shielo Hydrate Shampoo for my husband because Pureology no longer makes their dandruff shampoo. He has used it 2 times now and loves Shielo! Said he thinks it's even better than Pureology! His hair is soft and he has noticed already changes in his scalp and less dryness. Go figure! Yes, it's expensive but if you factor all the money you waste on every other type you purchase hoping it's 'the one', save yourself the time and try this!
